    Egg Cheese Tomato
    Marsha W.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    The softest and crunchiest baklava I ever ate !! So yummy and juicy . The cafe is good nice cozy and clean , I was noticed right away and cashier welcomed me with a smile. I got also Yemeni latte for the first time and loved it. Pretty nice place , recommend!

    Pistachio Latte, Pistachio Cheesecake
    Carolyn N.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Yes, I don't know about the strength to watch videos et al but writing and reading online works very well.

I pedaled my bike over there this Wednesday morning, aiming to secure a proper breakfast that would actually carry me past 11 a.m. The shop is cozy, definitely on the smaller side with a few seats inside, giving it that familiar, neighborhood spot feel. It's not a sprawling, antiseptic café, and I appreciate that. I ordered the Laney Breakfast Sandwich, which features egg, fresh spinach, sliced turkey, and Swiss cheese on a toasted English muffin. What impressed me was the intentionality--this wasn't something sitting under a heat lamp, looking defeated. It was clearly made to order. The egg was seasoned right, the turkey wasn't flimsy, and the spinach added that necessary fresh bite. It was a damn good sandwich, simple as that. I paired that with the Berry Lovers Smoothie. The original recipe calls for banana, but I asked if they could swap that out for mango. My people know that mango adds a different kind of sunshine, and they executed the substitution flawlessly. It came out thick, perfectly blended--a rich mix of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and that mango kick. It was super refreshing and didn't taste like I was drinking melted ice. The service was quick and friendly, which is key on a weekday morning. Everything tasted clean, fresh, and intentionally prepared. If you're looking for high-quality breakfast fare that feels less commercial and more like something someone actually cares about, stop by. The short bike ride and the intimate seating are worth it for what comes out of that kitchen. They earned this review.

    Sweetheart Cafe, Oakland's Chinatown…read more This Sweetheart Cafe location has been here for more than 30 years. It originally sells snacks and tons of candies in different aisles . Later on, they sold dried fruits also. Eventually they sold hot foods like popcorn chicken, curry fish balls and different boba drinks. They have seatings as well. Their boba drinks had became so popular that they opened locations in Berkeley, San Francisco and Milpitas. I love their bobas, it's sweet, bouncy and great chewing texture. They used to have small tapioca options which I had loved, but it isn't an option anymore. All their drinks are pretty good so you can't be wrong what drinks you choose. I highly recommend their drinks and their popcorn chicken. I will definitely come back and try other drinks as well.

The milk tea quality honestly was ok. I am not sure why I tasted a hint of thai tea lol but I did not mind. The boba quality was great. Perfect texture and I love how chewy it is. Plus they gave a good boba proportion! The popcorn chicken was not spicy enough for me so I used the powder they had near the seating area. I think they try to not make it too spicy because a lot of families and kiddos order it so they probably don't want to make it very spicy. You can sit here too as you wait or as you eat. Staff are typical - not overly friendly but not cold. They are ready to work and hustle! Many childhood memories associated with this place. It has remained a place I will always come back to.

Our orders were taken and we sat down to wait. There were a TON OF FLIES buzzing around and I kept having to wave them off especially when we got our order to the table, which honestly was gross. We were called to pick up our order, but only 1 of the 4 items was ready: Zadie's Masterpiece Breakfast Sando - Really tasty and enjoyed the biscuit it was on. Skimpy on the bacon, there was ONE piece but overall good breakfast sandwich. Next item ready 5 minutes later: Khadija's Slow Burn Harissa Hot Honey Breakfast Burrito - Really tasty. Definitely flavor packed and would order this again. *BUT there was an issue. Apparently the person that ordered before us asked for the same burrito to go...they NEVER got it and yet our order was ready. The person was pretty cool about it but they were definitely annoyed and gave us a look although it wasn't our fault. *The ordering system seems unorganized with the cashier writing orders on a slip of receipt paper and putting them on a stand by the kitchen. I wonder if the slips were out of order or fell and they skipped this persons to go order? IDK but they need a better system! We tried waiting for our coffees before starting to eat but then our food started getting cold...YOU KNOW WHY?... because the poor person that was taking orders was also in charge of making drinks. Having one person as cashier and barrista is NOT a good idea on a busy Saturday morning. It was hard for them to take a moment and focus on the drinks becuase people kept coming in an placing orders which means we waited for 20+ minutes before getting our drinks. By then our food was mostly eaten! Thankfully we noticed they had a water pitcher for free water which was a saving grace! The wait for drinks was so long that people that were already sitting when we arrived and had already eaten their food were JUST getting their drinks before us. HORRIBLE! I felt really bad for the cashier/barista :( Another turn off, there is no understanding on what to do with dirty dishes. Do we bus our table? If so where do we put it? We noticed people leaving plates by the water pitcher and cups, some put them on the long counter by the coffee area. There wasn't a garbage or compost bin, so we weren't sure where to put food scraps. There was a bin for "Plastic Only" but only the cup lids were plastic and the cup itself was paper, so where TF do you put that? We noticed a black plastic bin that someone had brought out from the back, so we placed our stuff in there but wasn't exactly sure. We tried to ask the cashier/barista but they were slammed with customers so we ccouldn't get their attention. IDK the place is just poorly organized and messy! There are tables for people to make artwork which is nice but on a busy Saturday it might have been nice to clean those areas up to allow people to sit. Sorry guys... *You need a dedicated barista! People waiting 20+ minutes for drinks is insane especially when the food comes out relatively fast. *Please clean up your restaurant. The amount of flies was gross and no one wants to swat them away from food & drinks. *Tell people if they should bus their own tables and if so.... *Make it clear where to leave plates, cups, garbage, compost etc.
