Fantastic offerings, space, hours, and staff! I haven't found a better late-night study spot in Oakland, and the folks who work here are the absolute best. I haven't tried it yet, but the food and dessert offerings look amazing. The general ambiance here is lovely and there are so many thoughtful details in the space and even the serving ware used for drinks and food. read more

There were so many delicious looking sweets at Delah! I had a cinnamon date latte. It was perfect. The store is clean and very cute. We enjoyed our time relaxing there. We plan to return for an exotic dessert read more

The desserts at Delah Coffee are so well made and delightfully lightly sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed the rose milk cake, pistachio milk cafe, baklava and bread with cream cheese. Everything was 10/10 must eat again read more

I LOVE Delah Coffee. It's the perfect study spot, free WiFi, tasty drinks and lovely interior design! They also have savory pastries and to die for teas! read more

Yay for great customer service! Always a plus!!!! I was super excited to try their mango matcha, but was unfortunately disappointed. It was too sweet and bitter all in one. I ended up getting the shy habibti and was more than satisfied. It provided a burst of strawberry with a hint of coconut. I would most definitely get it again. Also I got this egg cheese tomato situation that had the perfect flaky, yet soft breaded pastry taste. I love this cafe because it's always clean and has a calm ambiance even when it's crowded. People are either doing work, collaborating about work, or gathering to connect. I would definitely recommend this space to others. read more

I like this coffee shop because it's perfect for people-watching, studying (though it can get a little loud), hanging out, or just spending time on your laptop, journaling, or reading. The coffee and desserts are on point. The hot pistachio latte was delicious, and the pistachio milk cake? Yummm!!! Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. read more

Can't go wrong with a Turkish experience. Once I walked in, the display of sweets and food was calling my eye. Customer service was fast and friendly, with no complaints. I love this place. The suggestion was unbelievable. The decoration makes it feel like you are stepping into another environment from a regular coffee shop. Clean, with natural light. The painting on the wall is very inviting, and the music is at a normal volume, so you can keep a conversation without yelling at each other or listening to other conversations. The Turkish coffee is a magical experience, and the beef turnover is very tasty, non-greasy, great food. read more

I crave good coffee shops that make me *crave* their coffee, that make you want to drive hours upon hours to get a cup of joe even though I physically cannot sustain that. Which is to say I'm sad they're so far from me, but anyone within range of Delah needs to hike up here immedietly. Having had a regular black and their Pistachio Latte, both are absolutely wonderful things that eat most lower tier coffee shops for breakfast. Like this is the tier that Blue Bottle is in, and Blue Bottle doesn't have nearly as many pastries/baked goodies or the space for such a cozy chillax atmosphere. If you want coffee with delicate fruitiness without much distracting bitterness, Delah should absolutely be a stop. Please open up in South Bay, pretty please? read more

Delah coffee is a beautiful cafe with lots of amazing pastries and coffees to try! There is both booth and table seating inside and the atmosphere is great to bring someone with. When you stand in line, you are welcomed with the sweet aromas of coffee and the delicious pastries lined up in the displays. For a Saturday morning, the checkout process was very fast and we were able to get our drinks and pastries right away. I loved the bold and rich flavor of the rose Delah coffee - also kudos on the presentation and the beautiful cups as well! The pastries that we tried were so addicting and I loved being able to try an assortment of different items. I highly recommend visiting here! read more

Delah Coffee is so cute and aesthetically pleasing. The atmosphere and vibes are set so nicely and it feels like you're transitioned into another world. The customer service is okay, the staff could be more helpful and friendly especially since it was my first time trying. They didn't recommend much when I asked and gave them my preferences. Anyway, the croissants and coffee are good and pretty much what you expect. It's cute and cozy, and I would like to come back and try more items. read more

Delah Coffee is SUCH a cute Yemeni coffee house in walking distance from 19th St Bart Station in downtown Oakland. I love Middle Eastern sweets and desserts, and I came here with a group of friends to catch up and hang out on a weekday evening after work. Here are some standouts from their menu: Rose delah latte for $7.85 Baklava crunch for $6.25 Rose Turkish delight for $5.25 Rose milk cake for $6.45 It's not a very large cafe, but it's cute and cozy with plenty of seating. I'd definitely swing back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Nice atmosphere with middle eastern decor/vibe. Cases had yummy looking sweets and savories. Coffee available with middle eastern spices ie Cardamom. Unfortunately I didn't realize until after my order was made that decaf is not an option. It's close by to Lake Merritt which is convenient. read more

I have 2hrs to kill until the show starts, so I walked in this coffee shop per Grok's recommendation:) Food/coffee - I ordered cappuccino and baklava. The cappuccino tastes really good. Ambiance- very stylish!! A lot of space, and most of the people were either studying or working with laptops. Very relaxing atmosphere and I really dig!! I'll definitely come back! Great find!! read more

The decoration is super nice I have gone twice so far morning and late night. Staff is nice but when I went in the morning there was only one worker and 5 different people waiting for their orders. The drinks were worth the wait. I'll be going back to try more drinks and pastries. The rose milk cake was tasty it reminded me of tress leches cake the cheesecake was okay for me. read more

The kindest staff with the most amazing selection of sweet and savory pastries. I stopped by early in the morning before an event, but this is surely the spot to hit up when you're looking for good coffee and enough space for you to find a spot to chill out and do a bit of work. Can't wait to come back during my next visit to Oakland! read more

If you love pistachio, Delah is the perfect spot for you! After months of hearing great things I finally caught the opportunity to check it out and I was not disappointed. This was my first experience at a Yemeni coffee shop, and I was charmed by the beautiful interior and smell of delicious pastries and turnovers wafting through the air. Very IG-worthy, if you're like me and agree that the camera eats first. The ambiance is cozy and the cafe is spacious, so it's a great place to get work done. I love the big windows that let in tons of sunlight and allow for me to people watch while I sip on my latte. Speaking of which, my friend and I both opted for the iced pistachio latte. It was on the sweeter side (next time I'll ask for it to be adjusted), but so yummy nonetheless. I love how full bodied and layered the latte tasted. My friend agreed that each sip felt like having a different drink every time but in the best way. Sooo good! We also got a cheesecake and chicken turnover which were great as well. Service was friendly and prompt, don't be shy to ask for recommendations if it's your first time. The menu is huge, and I will definitely be returning to try out more of it. read more

Delah Coffee - Pistachio Latte, Pistachio Cheesecake - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

Stopped in for some coffee. The vibes and decor is great from the moment you walk in, and the barista had some great suggestions. We got the Pistachio Latte and it was just enough of Pistachio. 10 out of 10. The Carmel milk cake was also really good, it's very similar to a tres leches cake, but the rich Carmel was so delicious! This was a great stop and I hope to be back. read more

I met a friend at Delah Coffee in Grand last week. This is a nicely central location with a large seating area, pleasant music, interesting and special sweet and savory food options, and I love their Yemini latte. My friend really enjoyed the Spanish latte. Baklava were fresh and sweet. read more

The location is pretty good. It's in the heart of downtown Oakland near many other establishments. There is mainly street parking available for this shop but there is a parking structure and a BART station nearby. At night, it's decently lit up. My favorite thing was their hours. While most other coffee shops in the area seem to close around 6 or 7, this place was still open! By far one of the best hot chocolates I have ever had. It tasted like it was made with love. It had a slight flavor distinction that was different from any other that I have tasted. It was just the right amount of warm, not too hot and not too cold. The portions were an average size. The service was speedy and the seating area was full of people working on their laptops. The prices are about average for a 2025 Bay Area coffee shop. My favorite part is supporting local businesses that are Yemenis. Will definitely be coming back in the future. Bottom line/TLDR: best hot chocolate I've ever had read more

Cute Yemeni Cafe. Warm & iced teas, Turkish coffee was so good and the rose milk cake was simply Yum!!! Our other favorites are the Saffron Milk Cake & the Rose Latte Macchiato. Everything here is so good. The savories are delicious as well. You order at the front and take your items to your table. Service at the front is quick. Definitely coming back here for more!! read more

I've been to the one in the SOMA, and simply liked the lotus cheesecake. Still my favorite. We tried the pistachio cheesecake too, which was good and not sweet. I usually order the Yemeni latte, which was good, but underwhelming. The place is kind of small, with some fun seating. Staff aren't really welcoming and did not call out the order when completed. Drinks and items just sat there. read more

My husband and I stopped in to have a coffee after eating at Halal Guys. Their coffee went great with the sweet Baklava from across the street. Although we'd never been before, I was pleasantly surprised by all the sweets they had in the shop. I'll definitely have to try some of their Baklava next time we are near by. It was bustling with locals working hard and studying all about the cafe. The smell of the coffee and treats and local love is abundantly pleasant to the senses. read more

Amazing coffee, pastries, and decor. Definitely recommend and will return! More characters are required to hit post!

Yemeni coffee shop with variety of drinks and desserts. On the pricier side, but appreciate the free WiFi and tables + Yemeni Latte ($6.75): cinnamon and cardamom latte, liked that there wasn't sweetener but overall just ok (7/10) + Pistachio Latte ($7.85): very expensive but was the best pistachio latte I've had (8/10) read more

Place is such a gem. I really enjoy their cakes. They're deliciously moist and just right of a balance between flavor and texture. The ambience of the place in the space is just as nice. The last time I was here I just had a basic hot chocolate and even the hot chocolate was like very rich and flavorful. I highly recommend. check them out today. read more

I don't write many reviews but I had to on this one. Waited literally an hour for 4 drinks between ordering and waiting for order just to get all 4 drinks wrong. As I waited for my drinks I watched and listened as 3 people ahead of me tell the barista that their orders were also wrong. (All 3 just took what they were given and left). As I tried to say that the drinks were not what I ordered, they just kept pointing to the order screen and not saying anything. I talked to a friend of mine who came here last week and he said he had almost the exact same experience. As for the drinks they look good but at this time I haven't tried mine yet. I just took what they gave me and left. If your training and learning how to do things I get it I've been there but don't just put what you think someone ordered if you don't know just confirm with the customer. read more

A Beautiful coffee shop. I had the jubani and it doesn't come with milk but I asked for it with milk. The coffee was piping hot. I had to wait a good while before it was safe to sip. I could smell and taste the cardamom, ginger and cinnamon. The pistachio milk cake was nothing like I've had before. It tastes like a pistachio tres leches cake. The bitterness of my coffee really mellowed out the sweetness of the cake. This was my first time getting Arabic coffee, I didn't know it would come piping hot so it wasn't the easiest to drink. I would try their chai or Yemeni latte next time. read more

This review comprises two different visits. The first time, I bought a slice of chocolate cheesecake, and a slice of kunafa cheesecake. They also sold pistachio and lotus flavors. I thought they were fine, I liked the chocolate better than the kunafa, but not mindblowing in all the cheesecakes I've ever tried. The second time, I ordered a Too Good to Go discount surprise bag. I was rather surprised that the worker helping me just put the pastries directly into a takeout bag that looks like a gift bag, without putting the pastries into any smaller bags or wax paper (which is what I've typically encountered with any place that sells baked goods). However, pickup was quick, and I was given three big croissant-like pastries, all three of them had ample amount of almonds and possibly pistachios on them, and two of them had chocolate. I don't like croissants and similar flaky pastries normally, but these were so covered with other ingredients such as nuts that I really liked them since it made it more interesting flavor and texture wise. The chocolate was generous and tastes gooey if you warm up the pastry. I think one of them may have had Nutella/hazelnut in them. Delah Coffee is open late and has space to sit and work, and I hope to come back sometime to try more of the drinks. read more

Yemen was the place where coffee was first cultivated for commercial sales, which eventually helped contribute to coffee being spread to the rest of the world. With that much history, the coffee at a Yemen cafe has to be good! ORDER: Yemini Latte ($7.02) - Delah's signature drink which has the flavors of cinnamon, cardamom, and honey. The drink is available hot or iced, but I got it iced. I really enjoyed the spices in the Yemeni Latte, but as a fair warning, the drink is on the sweeter side by default. No worries though because you can choose to adjust the sweetness of the drink. SUMMARY: Other than individual drinks, Delah also offers pots of coffee and tea drinks that come with a candle heater and mini cups that you can share with your friends at the cafe. Delah also has a bunch of pastries and cakes that look really good and I can't wait to go back and try. IG: Follow me at xstina.eats for more food recs! read more
