Hasta Muerte Coffee
2701 Fruitvale Ave, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“Hasta Muerte Coffee is a fiercely independent Oakland neighborhood spot that doubles as a community gathering place, where you'll find genuinely curious staff, local artwork on the walls, and killer pastries like kale and mushroom empanadas alongside carefully crafted coffee. It's the kind of place that feels like a real third space—unpolished and unapologetically itself—where regulars and visitors alike come to linger, connect, and be part of something that matters to the neighborhood.”

Last week, my friend and I stopped by recently and honestly left pretty disappointed. The coffee and the customer service were horrible. From the moment we walked in, the staff seemed uninterested and not very welcoming. We felt more like an inconvenience than customers. When we asked a simple question, the response felt short and dismissive, and the overall vibe was just uncomfortable. A coffee shop should feel warm and inviting, but that wasn’t our experience here. Because of how we were treated, my friend and I won’t be coming back. Hopefully they can work on improving the customer service, because that really makes all the difference.
Came here with some girlfriends. Had a cappuccino and the kale and mushroom empanadas! Everything was so good! Cosy vibes and friendly staff too. Highly recommend.
We stopped in at the recommendation of our local hosts. If you’re a Starbucks person or a cop, don’t come here. This is a real neighborhood cafe. The community is outstanding, the people are incredibly nice and social, and the chai I had was amazing. Vegan baked goods are also delicious. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Oakland!
Wonderful coffee place! The menu has lots of really yummy options, the staff is kind and polite and service is fast. The atmosphere is cozy and they have lots of work from local artists around. I really liked the avocado toast, it had a sauce that was good.
Humans welcome, people tolerated. One of the best hidden gems in Oakland. Come check it out expand your mind and feel what the world of humans could be like. Much love to my friends at Hasta Muerte
