Crema's Take

“This Oakland gem opens early and specializes in espresso-forward drinks with creative seasonal offerings like their real pumpkin spice lattes and beloved lavender lattes, drawing a steady crowd of coffee enthusiasts. The outdoor covered seating creates a breezy, light-filled atmosphere perfect for lingering over a pour over or catching up with friends, and they sweeten the deal with excellent pastries and Boichik Bagels that keep people coming back. Fair warning: the outdoor-only setup means it's weather-dependent, but on those lovely Oakland days it's an ideal spot to escape into genuine specialty coffee culture.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.

Great spot. Great coffee. That lavender 🪻 latte is quite delicious and they do serve the famous Boichik Bagels 🥯 here which was a nice treat. Outdoor seating only and can be limited. Regardless, the coffee and the people who work there will brighten your day.

This is a really nice spot for some fun food and coffee or tea. It's outside but covered so I can enjoy the sun without getting burned. You can dine in or take out. I has bacon quiche and a butterfly pea tea with sparkling lemonade. Seems busy but not crowded, fun guests! I felt…
