No dairy! I was given a choice of almond or soy milk for my latte- my almond milk latte was amazing! Every other coffee shop on Piedmont offers dairy, so it wasn't missed. The coffee is great.
Super awesome scones (warm and tasty) along well crafted lattes. And Nina Simone. What else can you ask for?
Already gave a tip about the bar but the coffee is also amazing! Hands down the best Chai Latte in Oakland (they make their own chai tea). Make sure you get it dirty(two shots of espresso)
Try the lattes, italian steamed eggs with olivetta, handmade yogurt and granola, or sandwiches and salads. The new owners are awesome, and really care about locally sourced and handmade foods.
On a lazy Saturday morning head to Caffe 817 in Old Oakland for a breakfast of poached eggs, olive tapenade and toasted levain. Add a latte bowl or cappuccino for the perfect start to your day! Read more.
