Way Station Brew
2120 Dwight Way, Emeryville, CA
Crema's Take
“Way Station Brew is a beloved neighborhood gem in Emeryville where the espresso drinks and pour overs are executed with real care, paired with a genuinely welcoming owner and staff that make regulars feel like they're part of something special. The cozy patio is perfect for lingering over breakfast or meeting friends, and the dog-friendly policy means your furry companion gets to enjoy the experience too. It's exactly the kind of thoughtfully run, independent spot that feels like a refuge from the chain coffee shops that dominate the East Bay.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Visited this place on a Sunday morning for brunch. The savory brunch menu items did not look super interesting honestly and needed better presentation. Tried the avocado toast with egg and the cheese burger. The avocado toast was ok, but not great. The cheese burger with added…
Their nasty. No one cleans the tables after other people eat and leave. The male cook with glasses touches everything with his hands, scratches his face, head, body, etc. and put his hands right in the food (French toast mix & bread) as he's cooking without washing his hands or…
