Coco Noir has a great happy hour experience. The team was so welcoming and informative, and the space has a beautiful ambiance. I tried the Xanadu Circa 77 Cabernet Sauvignon, and it was such a nice selection. Perfect for unwinding on a solo date or a night out with friends. read more

Coco Noir Wine Shop & Bar - Xanadu Circa 77 Cabernet Sauvignon and Menu - Wine Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

Coco Noir is one of the cutest vibes in Oakland for mature people looking for a quality place to unwind, imbibe, and connect with friends. The atmosphere is quaint, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated. They frequently host live music and offer a variety of games and activities that align with what's happening around the city and the season. It's a great spot to meet friends before dinner or after dinner, although I'm not entirely sure of their late-night hours. The restrooms are clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, which honestly matters in a wine bar. While Coco Noir doesn't offer a full menu, they do have bits and bites, including charcuterie boards crafted by an amazing chef. Chef Shan Shan puts genuine love and care into everything she creates, and she has done an outstanding job with her role at Coco Noir. Because of her alone, I've become a regular and will continue to be a loyal patron of this amazing venue. If you're looking for a cute, cozy spot to relax, connect, and enjoy good vibes, check out Coco Noir. You won't be disappointed. Tell them Dorothy sent you you may get an extra pour read more

Coco Noir Wine Shop & Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

This is a great wine bar located on 13th and Broadway in downtown Oakland. This business is black owned and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, offering up many superb wines. In addition, there are special pop up events, showcasing local chefs, artists and organizations. Besides wine, there are small bites and charcuterie board pairings available. Live music performances are happening on the weekend, supporting local talent, like myself. I've been fortunate enough to perform here over the past year with Femi & The Soul Assassins, and it's always a vibe. Coco Noir recently celebrated their 3 year anniversary so come through, take in the vibes and get your sip on ! read more

Love supporting local women-owned businesses so of course this spot was on my bucket list for a long time. A friend and I finally got to try it out before they closed at 8PM. As soon as you walk in, the aroma is refreshing. All the candle scents didn't clash smelling like bath & body works, but instead, they all complimented each other so it smelled like walking into a spa. Leila was our server and was super friendly. She had a bubbly personality and knew her wines! Alicia greeted us and was friendly as well. The aesthetics is giving very chic and grown and sexy vibes. 2 huge TVs for entertainment and some soothing Sade playing in the background. A great spot for a chill girls' night or a nice little date night. read more

Tracy was an amazing hosts. My friends and I came in on a Sunday after long awaiting to visit and it did not disappoint. They created a great ambiance and welcoming environment right as you entered. From the scents to the florals to the music everything was well thought out and created such a vibe. We shared a bottle of sparkling Chenin Blanc and it was delicious. They also had a spread of tasty light bites that we thoroughly enjoyed. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Had the best time at CoCo Noir Wine Shop & Bar on Saturday night! Four of us stopped in after dinner, and it was the perfect ending to the evening. I tried a delicious wine flight recommended by the manager--each pour was wonderful--but honestly, the highlight was the conversation. The manager shared the story behind CoCo Noir and the owner's vision for creating such a beautiful respite in the heart of downtown Oakland. This place is more than a wine bar--it's a community space with heart, history, and intention. If you haven't visited yet, make it a priority. You'll be so glad you did! read more

One of my favorite places to go to in Oakland! Great for a girls night. They have so many fun pop-ups - chefs, karaoke, and more! Plus, the wine is great and the staff are incredibly charming and kind. Highly recommend! read more

I was so excited to come tasting here . I have been following the host since she was doing pop ups at Jacklond . So I was tremely proud when I heard she a tasting room location. $15 for 3 tastings the charcuterie board and popcorn is an additional fee. Apparently they also have a brunch event as well. The venue is nice there is a parking lot across the street.. it's kinda sketchy so leave your windows down . The evening I was here there was a weird font between the employees but everything was cool. I definitely will be back read more

A friendly and knowledgeable staff, aesthetically pleasing, and POC winemakers. . . This is Coco Noir Wine Shop! The female, Black owned shop is inviting with a sofa, hi-top tables, or seating at the bar. Sitting at the bar is nice; you can look at the bottles on display with their unique labels. They feature different tasting flights weekly. You can also purchase wine by the glass. They offer charcuterie boards with a variety of meats, cheeses, and popcorn too. This shop is a fantastic addition to the area. It's a must visit for a relaxing atmosphere and a glass of vino with friends. read more

Walking in, the first aspect I noticed was the beautiful scent of candles. It felt welcoming and soothing. In the background some light R&B/Soul music played and the modern aesthetic created a super chill vibe. After being seated, I looked up to see the film Brown Sugar playing above the bar. We began with a wine tasting from Fly Wines - a bonus for me was sampling a Turkish red wine. The space offers ample comfortable seating at the bar, couch & benches, and high tables placed along the windows. I ordered a mixed flight to try white wines, which don't typically choose. Each wine was delicious, but, surprisingly, the sparkling won as my favorite. One clean bathroom is available and has a stash of condoms - love it when establishments promote fun and safety. I learned that Coco Noir has been open since Dec. 2022 and is typically busier Friday thru Sunday. It was comforting to experience any pressure to buy additional glasses or bottles. The service was genuinely friendly & offered insight in a relatable way. This is definitely a cool place to chill and I'm glad to have had a great first experience. read more

Shannon was a fun and friendly hostess! My date and I were fortunate in that it was a first time there for both of us and it was their first Friday night game night. We enjoyed a Pinot Noir and some good laughs. It may have helped that we came primed straight from a comedy show in the neighborhood. I'll definitely go back, especially if it's a Friday night. read more

Black owned and serving black owned wines I would have not gotten to try in a tasting room otherwise! Came in on a Friday night, and I loved the whole experience. The music was on point, service friendly, and wine choices were amazing! We had 2 flights, 2 glasses, and got 3 bottles and it came to $160. I didn't think that was bad, but you can see if it fits your budget or not. If I lived here, this would be a frequent spot I would come to and vibe out! read more

This place was A-mazin'... took a group of 15 to the brunch. So many delicious offerings of menu items. Had 2 glasses of the French sparkling wine. Very nice. Nice vibe. Sweet little private area for the group. Music loud enough to match the vibe but low enough to allow comfortable conversation. Tracy was our very personable wine server and Alicia was a fantastic host. There was a huge big screen tv for those who wanted to watch the games. Wonderful spot to share with your friends. We are all making plans to return again ... and again ... and again! read more

A new Oakland hidden gem! It's very cute and small inside, with the cream and neutral toned interior and a little marble bar. Seating is limited so make sure you make a rez! They have a decent selection of wine to choose from, prioritizing black owned labels as they are a black owned business! (We love to see that in Oakland.) They host all sorts of events including live music every weekend which is definitely worth checking out. They sometimes have food from various pop ups, so call ahead to see what they have if you're planning on eating there. There's been gumbo, Jamaican Pattie's, and STUFFED CHICKEN WINGS with MAC N CHEESE & GREENS on the inside. It's so greedy but I loved it! Definitely come check them out for a cute lil night out with your friends or for a date. read more

Love love it. What a rare thing in the wine industry. Black woman owned with a focus on giving exposure to more diverse brands (BIPOC, women owned, LGBTQIA+). White wine was highly focused on Chardonnay but the orange Pinot Grigio (surprise) was delicious. The space is open and elegant. Cool modern vibe. Lots of events, good for groups and they have food pop ups so a rotating restaurant. read more

Everything is so well thought out and I am actively going to make it a point to visit Coco Noir more frequently! read more

I was in Oakland on Easter Sunday and was looking for mimosas when I found this wonderful place on yelp. It's Black owned, which I love so I had to support. When I walked in I was greeted by a lovely lady with salt and pepper hair. The vibe in here is so refreshing I decided to stay a while and splurge a bit. I ordered the mimosa flight which came with 3 different flavors. She broke them all down and explained their contents. Guava and cranberry were my favorites in the flight of 3. Typically I'm not a fan of guava but I was that day. They had cheese boards which I was intrigued by until the chef came out to explain his menu. Stuffed chicken wings is all I needed to here to get my blood flowing. Omg, I love going to Oakland... I ordered the charcuterie board to snack on while drinking and took 4 chef plates Togo. Wings were stuffed supposed to be stuffed with macaroni and cheese and collard greens but the was NO greens in any of the four plates of wings. I found the Mac and cheese stuffed wings to be dry but flavorful. The jambalaya stuffed wings were the best. He was out of the red beans and rice wings and Sweet potato cornbread. The food was good but it wasn't worth $25 a plate. (A physical menu would have been great to look at, but he doesn't have on yet) Side note: This manager interrupted my conversation with another customer to have me cash me out, BEFORE I WAS DONE, "because she is going on break". I found that to be extremely tacky. That messed up the whole vibe. And then when she gets to the tip screen she says "my favorite part". Ha, that ain't cute sis. After she walked away, the customer I was talking to said "well that was awkward for a manager to do", which I agreed. I have never experienced that before. Typically I would deduct a star for something like that but I am going to let it slide this time. read more

Really cute and sophisticated ambiance, global wine selection, and friendly staff. Came here for a dating event and appreciate how versatile the space is. Not only is it a wine bar, it's a space to bring community together for social events, brunch, and other programming. My only wish is that is was closer to walk to. read more

What a beautiful space filled with curated wines! Came with a friend for early drinks and conversation on NYE and it was the perfect space for that! We were introduced to B. Stuyvesant-a black woman vintner from Brooklyn who makes champagne. We also had a delicious Zinfandel rosé from Bodkin. It was really great to taste wines from different producers that I hadn't heard of-both wines we tasted were perfect. I also got two bottles to take home- the B. Stuyvesant Blanc de Blancs and a Cab from South Africa by a Zimbabwean sommelier called Kumusha. The charcuterie board was also well made and delicious. We had such a lovely time chatting with the owner and the sommeliers-everyone was welcoming and super knowledgeable about the wines. Can't wait to return and attend more events here. It really is a gem and much needed in the area! read more

I hate to say it... but I did not enjoy my experience at Coco noir. Unfortunately, the employee serving us was a bit drab and impatient. I really wanted to find a wine that I liked, but sadly after a flight and tasting several options, I was not a fan of their selection. The ambience is bright and inviting! Honestly a beautiful shop, although I was left wanting more from the wine offerings. read more

I travel all over for work and this wine bar is hands down the best one I have been to thus far! And this includes wine bars in Spain--OKAY?!!. The interior design is very chic, elegant yet minimalistic and the space is organized, in a way where you can get cozy and comfortable and chat it up with other guests if you choose to, while having a glass of wine. The wine selection is also very good and there is a-lot of options to choose from and glasses are not expensive at all! Hosts were also very knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about wine, which I really can appreciate when trying different wines. read more

Not bad for a Saturday night (they didn't have food) but I did order a good charcuterie board that paired well with the wine Didn't know Mary J.

We had an amazing time at CoCo Noir! The space is beautifully decorated, open, spacious and bright. They offer a large selection of wines, which are an excellent entry for those interested in learning to appreciate wines. Definitely a hot spot for the ladies on Saturday's when they have the live Dj. And be warned, the gumbo is good and spicy! Spicy I said, so consume with caution! Lol Cheers read more

I LOVED Coco Noir! This will quickly become one of my favorite spots for an after work drink or weekend pregame. The staff was amazing and helpful, the ambience is clean, aesthetic yet also warm and inviting and the wine is in abundance. There's plenty of BIPOC wine companies and varieties for you to choose from and little charcuterie boards for you to snack on while you enjoy good music and good company. This space has the potential to be a DT Oakland staple, and I can't wait to see how it will evolve! read more
