Ok. Been passing this charmer for years. FINALLY tried it today. Do not walk, RUN to get artisan sandos, locally roasted coffee, signature juice blends and gourmet soups and MORE!! If you are lucky, you will come when the chef/owner made his yummy mushroom soup!! A regular fan says ALL the soups are delicious. Let's all support the independent food purveyors in our community!! They kept us fed during COVID, let's return the favor read more

This is the place most convenient for me--right in my neighborhood. And I have gotten good food there as well. My problem is with the owner operator: He can be super rude to me while he seems to like other customers. Last time he did it I stopped going for a year or more. Fast forward: I have been on a jag to find the super classic NYC bodega breakfast sandwich. Egg and cheese on a soft roll that was grilled on flattop for a minute (sometimes a panini press does the job--it hard to find a good one that doesn't cost $20 in the east bay these days. Today when walked in and he seemed to have nothing but time on his hands. I said what I was looking for and he snapped back, " I don't know what that is. Why don't you start here with the menu." Those words are all fine but he delivered them with an edge like he thinks he's the sandwich nazi (no line out your door sweet heart) The menu is poorly placed for an average height man to read. And I thought, nah I am not doing this again. It does seem like Tristan reads these comments, but I don't expect a change in his attitude about service. He clearly doesn't want to do special orders with the 10 ingredients he has to work with. So carry on. But when you wonder why you are not busier, this is a little insight as to why. I hope you can loose some of the rigidity that is holding you back but sadly I will not find out about. 86 read more

I am so glad that Tristan and Earthly Coffee are part of our neighborhood. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I order food from here on the regular and it is solid. You really can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches and the breakfast burritos are great. There are good veg / vegan options too if that's your thing. read more

This place is amazing! I remember when it first opened over 10 years ago and it's still just as good as opening week! Homemade juices and sandwiches are best in the Bay Area hands down!!! read more

Earthly Coffee - Chicken pesto sun-dried tomato sandwich on acme baguette - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Went in this morning- like other reviews I agree this is more of a locals spot. Person working there was helping another customer when I arrived, actually just talking. Seemed nice with previous customer but I did not get the same service. Not very friendly, maybe it takes a while for him to warm up to you? As I was leaving I said thank you but was not acknowledged. Bagel was ok, got a cream cheese (just on half the bagel) with veggies (tomato, onion, cucumber). Picture attached My daughter got a breakfast sandwich on sourdough with avocado (no veggies) she said it was a little dry and not that tasty. Sorry no picture. I got a drip coffee- Coffee was mediocre, strong but not exactly in the best tasting way. Kind of bitter. They don't allow people to put their own cream and sugar, they do it for you so it wasn't made to my liking and I didn't want to bother by asking for more cream. If you live close by it's probably your only option in walking distance. Not many other shops close by. Maybe if I lived in the neighborhood I would give it another try but since I don't I won't be going out of my way to eat here. read more

Earthly Coffee - All seed bagel, half cream cheese half butter, tomato, onion, cucumber. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Guy at the register is always so god damn rude for a coffee shop that barely has customers

Earthly Coffee is located on a high traffic street. I'd imagine if you drop by earlier the parking would be better but there's also residential parking if you're willing to walk a little. The upbeat acoustic morning music, quaint table setup, and the owner's down to earth attitude really ties the ambiance together. I've ordered the pepperoni bite (delicious btw) and a hot chai sub oat milk. Did not disappoint at all. Would love to return if I am in the nearby area running errands. Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Parking: None Customer service: 10/10 read more

I stumbled on this place when working across the street servicing a customer's equipment and needed to grab lunch nearby. Had the best turkey and Swiss deli sandwich of my life, not kidding. Now, every time I drive by the place I salivate. Had the chance to stop by there again today, one year later, and the turkey and Swiss sandwich was even better! Fresh high-quality bread, turkey, swiss cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce, and some type of special sauce. Incredibly delicious and a very rare find! read more

This is a hidden gem for some of the best sandwiches in the Bay. Breakfasts burritos are really good too. And coffee and chai are delicious. I posted photos of the most recent menu. read more

This is definitely more of a local spot. We were driving through Oakland on the way back home and stopped by. I have a gluten allergy and was hoping to get something quick. As soon as we walked in and I asked for gluten free options ( Which btw on the menu online, glute free options twere present. See photo attached). The person behind the counter answered " no" before I could finish my sentence. He offered a salad option but since it was 7.30AM, I did not sound appetizing. I proceeded to ask if he would be able to make me a burrito without the tortilla and he said that it wouldn't come out right. Just felt unwelcome. I have worked in service industry for years and so has my family, surprised to see they could not offer even a side of eggs? I ended up getting the he burrito and throwing out the tortilla. Really nothing to rave about. Ambience is okay. The plants and decorations were cute but overall the place could use some deep cleaning. Just didn't feel like customer service was there. Please update the menu on Yelp so no others make the same mistake I did. read more

Omg the veggie bite is heaven :) I so wish I lived here otherwise you bet I'd be here everyday. It's also so nice to be in a coffee shop where everyone is making conversation and not head down on their laptops and phones. The owner is also such a fun personality and we had a great conversation about their efforts to improve crosswalk safety for disabled folks in the community. Amazing! Support local! Support small Oakland business! read more

This neighborhood coffeehouse is a gem! I've made sweet community connections here talking to other customers and their dogs The coffee *IS* strong - just like I crave it - and sourced from a East Bay Area family business. My favorite sandwich so far is the hot chicken sausage but today I'm going to try the turkey avocado bacon jam - oooooo!!!! (Note - the menu changes regularly...ask the staff for their recommendations.) read more

A divvy neighborhood cafe with very delicious food and strong coffee. The owner is your chef! I got the roast beef sandwich with fresh horse radish on a baguette and it was so damn good. I am European with European flavor buds and this sandwich made me feel I was back there not somewhere in Oakland. Dress code: casual Plenty space for laptop workers and readers - and surprisingly not many in here. Most people tend to take their items "to go" instead of eating in here. Decor: everything is second hand. The couches, the board games, the chairs, the random books. Don't expect chic / sheek and modern. Expect a great cook inviting you into their living room. I just wish it wasn't on such a busy street. Been here multiple times and can't wait to try the rest of their menu. Ps. Food might take a second as it's made fresh when it's ordered. Buts just couple minutes well worth the wait. Parking: metered parking on the street. read more

The Roast Beef sandwich with aged cheddar and horseradish is Amazing! so good it was hard for me to order anything else every time I come here for lunch. Finally ventured off my standard to try the Sriracha Tuna Melt and it was also delicious. The owner Tristan makes a mean sandwich. A true treasure of a little neighborhood place! read more

Wow, good find. I live a few blocks away and I always pass this place but never went in bc I have a regular cafe I go to. Came in today to check it out and really good sandwiches, surprisingly good. Going to be coming back more often. read more

Was listed as a "cozy cafe." Not cozy at all. And only uses single use coffee cups Food and coffee are mediocre read more

I love my local coffee place. Delicious coffee. Good food. It's my "go-to" place!!!!!

The most delicious sandwich made of real food--i.e., real pieces of chicken cut off a real roasted chicken, real aged cheese, real sun dried tomato jam, all on a real baguette, and with it a very tasty latte. My granddaughter had a blueberry/ginger juice drink. Relaxed ambiance. I love this place with high quality food and drink. read more

Great sandwiches, strong coffee, and Tristan is one cool cat. A beloved neighborhood joint

Got a coffee and breakfast burrito. Coffee was great. Breakfast burrito was OK but I'm usually a breakfast sando guy. Theirs looks great and I'll definitely get that next time. Nice guy works there. Good vibes. read more

Loved the breakfast burrito. Crispy tortilla and yummy goodness in the inside. Nothing fancy or pretentious -- simply a nice way to spend my morning as I waited for my car to be fixed next door. And the rainbow haired owner was nice too. read more

It is time I updated my review. It's been three years and ownership has changed. The food and service are still great. I work nearby and get lunch here frequently. There are two things that are good that aren't on the menu: Gluten free bread for sandwiches is available! - just ask. I think salad isn't on the menu, but the guys always make one for me. Oh yeah, I had one of those bacon jam sandwiches last week and it was fantastic. I am going back for more. Review from 2010 with previous owner I second everything Rachel Z said. The place is great. Coffee drinks and pastries are standard fare, but their lunches are special! The owner keeps creating new foods that are excellent. She also has made special salads and sandwiches to order that always turn out great. I highly recommend the place! read more

This cafe cafe is a real sweet spot, good food great coffee. Just as you would want your neighborhood cafe they serve food with a flair- their breakfast sandwich or burrito is the bomb! They have McLaughlin coffee so they know their grinds and flavor is strong but well rounded. read more

Visiting California for my second time and this breakfast place made me feel right at home. I know they have lunch but I think their breakfast is just amazing. The "couple" behind counter were not only friendly but so passionate about what they were doing. I LOVED the atmosphere while I was here and the food was delish!!!! I ordered a bagel with eggs and cheese, my friend got a burrito. Both were amazing and we shared each other's food. Their iced coffee was made well and not watered down like other places. The bagels were soft and warm. Overall I recommend this place to anyone, if you live in the area this could be your replacement to Starbucks or something haha If the owners / couple read this, I LOVED U GUYS! People really do notice the good and I want to voice it for to guys! Keep rocking! read more

This is a cute little place. I love that it's here :) I take the bus to CHORI, so I'm always early. It's nice to know that I can study (with free wifi) while sipping on a pretty yums chai latte waiting for my shift to start. read more

I've been in here a handful of times, mostly to grab coffee on my way somewhere. This time I noticed they had some fresh juices. Got one of them (mango lemonade of sorts) and loved it (as did my young boys, who I had to fight with to not drink it all!). ;) Both guys behind the counter were super friendly - notably, the one that carried himself like the owner. Definitely felt the pride of ownership and wanted each of his customers to have a positive experience (which I did). Hope this place keeps on and does well. read more

The stars are for the food and coffee itself. Excellent spot, aesthetics wise. I decided to come in to finish some school work. The cook/owner, was pretty passive aggressive after he saw I had some food from another place. I'd take it as a compliment, I chose your spot to eat and enjoy the atmosphere. The bathrooms were pretty dirty, but then again, I went there to eat not to use the bathroom. Maybe it was because I came in 45 mins before closing. Might try again. read more

Probably the best sandwich place in the world. If not in the world - in North Oakland for sure. Used to come there every day, but haven't visited for about 3 years. Went there today and guess what - it is exactly the same as it used to be! Sriracha tuna melt on rye is my all time favorite. read more

Earthly Coffee - Yasssss to this Yucatan sauce. Bagel was soft!! Loved it - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Food: The breakfast bagel was terrible and overpriced. The bagel itself tasted stale. And the whole thing was super bland. Service: The woman behind the cashier was friendly enough. I asked her how she was doing and we shared a brief exchange. But the cook was another story. It was 7:30 on a Monday morning and I was one of the only people there. I was standing at a high table with my laptop. I'd moved over the stool to make room and left my bag on it. There were countless places to sit, including at that table. If someone walked in and wanted to sit right next to me, I of course would have moved my stuff - after momentarily wondering why they couldn't warm ANY Of the other seats in the place. And yet the cook steps out from behind the counter and starts moving my stuff, suggesting that I've commandeered the whole table. It was bizarre. I didn't feel welcome and won't come back. read more
