Burlap Coffee
511 40th St, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“Burlap Coffee strikes that rare balance between rustic charm and sophisticated taste, with warm wood tones and rotating local art creating a space where artists and remote workers alike feel equally at home. The espresso here is genuinely excellent—reviewers consistently praise the quality and care in every cup—and the creative drinks like their banana oat milk mocha prove they're not just pulling shots, but crafting experiences worth lingering over.”

Little bit pricey. Ambience is old. Staff is in a rush on taking orders. Free wifi
A serene and peaceful place to be and relax and contemplate life while sipping some coffee or tea. The rustic wood grain tones established and atmosphere of calm in a hip and sophisticated way with some retro leanings. I came here because the trains were delayed for a while on Bart so I sat here in the early morning and sipped a chai latte and wandered around through this quiet spacious area with vintage paraphernalia and quite soft cozy couches. By the time I left, the trains are running normally again, and the log jam of people waiting on the BART platform had dissipated. I would like to recommend the vanilla scones, as the one I had added a little dash of elegance and softness to my already relaxed experience in this little haven with my tea. There is nothing absolutely exceptional about this space, but it is simply a clean and peaceful place to feel the sunlight on your face and drink some tea or coffe and wait for a while. There is a piano and some ornate lamps and lovely pictures on the wall.
This is hands down my favorite coffee shop! The coffee here is consistently amazing. You can taste the care and quality in every cup. The owner goes above and beyond with customer service and truly cares about the coffee he serves. You can tell he takes pride in every detail, from the beans to the presentation. It’s rare to find a place that feels this personal and welcoming. Highly recommend to any true coffee lover!
Looks like a place artists would meet. Cozy and a lot of space. Loved my banana mocha with oats milk in a mag. Didn’t even need sugar. Different art on the wall, too. Unfortunately, their Mighty Leaf teas were all in plastic mesh, and it is known plastics and hot water is not a healthy combo…
I recall the bathroom being very clean. Which is always a relief anywhere you go. I ordered a breakfast sandwich made with egg and Spinach they did have a vegetarian option which was nice. They had box water which was cute and Some other options as well. They have a lot of seating which was nice and the grand piano was a great addition to the extra seating area they had. Looked like a very clean environment.
