Crema's Take

Tucked away in West Oakland next to Pacific Pipe climbing gym, Proyecto Diaz is a hidden gem that takes its craft seriously with thoughtfully sourced single-origin beans and a meticulous approach to espresso and pour-over brewing. The café strikes that rare balance between being a focused coffee destination and a genuinely welcoming gathering space, with plenty of indoor charm and a spacious outdoor patio perfect for lingering whether you're working, meeting friends, or fueling up before a climb. Skip the iced drinks and lean into their hot preparations—reviewers rave about the quality of the beans and the care poured into each cup.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Parking available.

Cafe is right next to Pac Pipe. Perfect place to get that caffeine fix before climbing. Cute interior with seating inside and outside. Free parking available in front but can get busy later in the day. Staff is super friendly. Restrooms with code on the side. I had the…
