Soul Blends Coffee Roasters
3207 Louise St, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“This West Oakland gem brings serious espresso craftsmanship and creative energy to every cup, from crisp Ethiopian medium roasts to inventive drinks like their signature dirty rose chai. Beyond excellent coffee, Soul Blends cultivates a welcoming third space with thoughtful interior design, dog-friendly vibes, and quality pastries and toast that make it easy to linger for hours. The baristas here clearly care—they're the kind of specialists who'll impress you with their technique while making you feel genuinely seen.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Dog friendly.
