They have lots if tables, so this is the ideal place to study at! Their lattes are to die for! Their mushroom panini was bomb! Their cookies and yogurt with granola and fruit are yummy! 2 thumbs up!
- Ashley MowreyMay 29, 2016The baristas here are legit, every cappuccino I e had here is the perfect temp and the espresso is always balanced. They have wi-fi, outlets, good food and a good vibe. It's perfect.
I love getting breakfast sandwiches here! They have an egg one with an aioli that is so delicious. Great coffee and teas, too. You can definitely get work done at this spot.
Brian SMay 20, 2015Wifi is iffy but there's plenty of seating and the food is tasty. If you don't have anything serious to work on it's a good space to hunker down for a bit. The plethora of magazines are a nice perk.- Matt PorrecaDecember 27, 2012Great coffee, tons of magazines from around the world, lots of outside seating thanks to 3 parking space long parkette, and a plethora of bike parking. Oh yeah, and free wifi. Def my new home office.
Tasty coffee, sandwiches, salads, kombucha on tap. Recently expanded 1st floor with no-laptop seating and parklet. Upstairs is always busy (and warm!) but laptop friendly. Free WiFi for 2 hours.
Nikos AntipordaSeptember 11, 2012Great hole in the wall neighborhood coffee in uptown Oakland. If your tired of the usual Starbucks and want a variety this is the place for you.
Nathan JSeptember 20, 2019Great sandwiches and coffee. WiFi is limited to 2 hours and can get busy on Sunday’s but if you are able to get a seat, it’s a great place. Can get hot upstairs.
Adrian PhillipsJanuary 12, 2016Great place to get soup and salad or panini sandwiches. The coffee is good alongside friendly service. Order at the counter and get your food when they call your name.
Sharon P.December 7, 2014Excellent espresso. Surprisingly good bagel and lox. Two walls of magazines you can pick up and read while you're here. My new favorite Oakland cafe.
MelvinNovember 18, 2018Cappuccino was quite delightful. Very spacious on the inside with pretty cool outdoor seating as well.
The steel cut oats are truly comforting. No weird added sugar, and topped (upon request) with actual fresh fruit. Most recently: blueberries, strawberries, and pears. Lovely!
there are board games (and some books) upstairs in addition to the magazines downstairs
Michael SippeyApril 7, 2018The people are great, the pastries and salads are delicious and the magazine rack is top notch.- Elizabeth PriceDecember 16, 2012Get a super delicious bagel with lox, onions & capers. They put the capers on the bottom of the pile so they don't roll off your bagel!
Caffeine fix, amazing magazine selection, and yummy food--Vietnamese salad and peanut butter cookies are my faves
Mighty TravelsMay 11, 2014Lovely Gibraltar coffee. Nice parklet outside. No attitude. Place is a win.
Steven WirtAugust 6, 2015Perhaps the best brownie in town. And where else can you page through Wire and Fader mags on the same newstand?
Artiom D.June 28, 2015You can grab some of the tons of magazines to read while you're drinking your coffee 👍
Kensie SmithMarch 9, 2013If you sit at the high bar in the balcony, don't drop your knife accidentally. Aftermath between the trajectory of object, gravitational pull & coffee at the bottom could be hazardous.
- Mario QuispeMay 29, 2013Great coffee skills here. Perfect espresso extractions. Noisy but doable. Don't miss the upstairs!
I love that they have almond milk and nice cocoa powder to add to my coffee. I hate that they close at 9pm... way too early!
Colleen McGarrySeptember 25, 2011Get the chocolate chip cookie. I usually only like my own home-baked cookies, but these are really exceptional.
Cynthia SalinasMarch 13, 2013East Bay College Fund is Farley's "Non-Profit of the Month!" Celebrate with us tmrw (3/14) from 5-9pm. 20% of purchases will go for scholarship funds for college students. Read more
Chris DadzitisMay 19, 2013Don't forget to grab a coffee refill. You'll save a whole 10 cents on your second cup. Tell them Chris sent you for this sweet discount.
Golan RamrasDecember 7, 2023I'm disgusted by this establishment. Most especially its employees. They are racist bigots & harass customers they want to denigrate. Food was average & smothered in racial discrimination. Revolting.
Alex DobyanAugust 8, 2017Crowded, loud, and my tea was super bitter - water was too hot I think. Not as good for working as noted here.
Chez UsOctober 22, 2011Great turkey sandwich; mustard dressing is really good. Don't sit out front, it smells like cat pee.
Nick PerryMay 17, 2012If you're just getting regular drip coffee, there is a self serve express line. $2, exact change.
Vanessa SicairosMay 22, 2013Chill outside on the parklette on a sunny day read drink coffee and people watch
Chloe BenjaminJune 30, 2011If it's crowded try upstairs. I didn't realize there was one for awhile. There are some board games and a couch up there too.
