“ Pricey like other reviewers have mentioned, but what isnt in the bay. This location makes a lovely latte. Other locations Ive been to in SF and SJ have made lattes that were way too acidic and not at all dialed in, but this one has been perfect. Open, airy space and friendly baristas. ”
“ LOVE Blue Bottle Coffee! HIGHLY recommend the Date Latte and cappuccino in a real cup. Do NOT miss the sticky toffee pudding and authentic German waffle! ... ”
“ Great spot if you want some coffee in a large open setting that has high vaulted ceilings, especially if ventilation is a concern while were still dealing with COVID. The staff were very informative and let us know right away they use oat beverage by default, asking if that was okay. I had an iced hojicha latte while my spouse had an iced latte. Both drinks were great! ”
“ It was an early Tuesday morning and my normal Blue Bottle shop on Piedmont was closed. I googled this place and decided to get coffee here. Thankfully, because it was early, parking wasnt an issue. I can imagine though during 89am it could be a hassle as its directly across the street from Oakland High. Aside from that, the place is enormous... Probably the largest Blue bottle Ive ever been in. The baristas were kind and the spot was clean. If youre a blue bottle fan and need coffee, especially early in the morning, then you gotta check it out. ”
“ Need to be okay with no outlets and high prices, but if you are its a great place to work. Lots of light high ceilings.... Tip massive high school crowd during weekday lunch. Best to avoid. ”
“ Beautiful and spacious place, coffee is great, just be aware there seems no power outlet if you plan to work on a laptop here ”
“ You can always rely on Blue Bottle to be consistent. Ever since the Webster location closed, this is our go to. Parking is rough but its always nice to step inside this historic building. ”
“ Incredible coffee even better staff! The team is so friendly, attentive, and pull the perfect shot every time. The best coffee shop in the bay! ”
