States Coffee
419 40th St, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“States Coffee is an espresso-focused roastery that takes its craft seriously, sourcing beans from sustainable farms worldwide with a commitment to fair trade practices. The neighborhood spot shines with an expanded outdoor seating area and a convenient side window for quick grabs, though the lively street noise and lack of indoor seating means this is best enjoyed as a sunny day destination. Pair your thoughtfully pulled shot with pastries from local Starter Bakery—including gluten-free options and house-made sourdough—and you'll understand why regulars were thrilled when this beloved roastery relocated and grew.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu.

Wonderful new coffee shop! We enjoyed our almond milk lattee & drip coffee. Amazing pastries here. Lots of gluten free options on top of a pretty amazing pastry rotation. House-made sourdough is some of the best in the Bay Area! Nice area for outdoor enjoyment as well.
