    Americano
    Michael W.

    This place truly lives up to its inviting name I felt at home instantly. The work area is fantastic, and the friendly service with a smile makes every visit enjoyable. The ambiance sets the perfect mood for closing deals, whether big or small. I tried the avocado bagel toast; even if it's not on the menu, they figured it out and crafted my signature Americano with vanilla, half and half, and four sugars absolutely delightful! The jalapeño and cheese bagel was simply delicious. Plus, I loved soaking in the sunshine and admiring the art on the walls. It's exciting to learn they host events and also sell wine here -- such a bonus. I always stop by whenever I'm in Oakland and can't wait to attend their upcoming events.

    Wow! Such a good experience. I am so happy I finally made it here. Huge location, plenty of varied seating (community tables, small tables, sofas, benches, etc.). We got there for a book club shortly after Kinfolx opened today (Sunday), and we got seats in the back area with the blue sofas. Ordered a matcha latte with lavender. SO GOOD! I got the bacon, egg, and, cheese sandwich on brioche. After my book club, I moved to a different table at the front of the store to get some work done, order another meal/ drink, people-watch. Plenty of outlets available. Picked up a gift-card for a secret Santa exchange later in the week (theme: local small businesses). You can earn points/ rewards, so make sure to sign up. There's plenty of parking around. Ran into a couple of friends who joined me and saw Kev Choice! That's another reason I loved this spot -- so many people, so much community. There are tons of events all the time! I'm coming back soon for a writing workshop and for more drinks, food, and community.

    Looking for a spot in Oakland with great food, caffeine, and WiFi? Look no further--- Kinfolx is your place. Massive space where community can share food, good times, all the things. There are different seating options around, including large community tables, smaller tables tucked inside the venue, sofas, benches, the works. A place for everyone. I enjoyed my unsweetened matcha and breakfast sandwich. So good. Everything. The decor and ambiance is also on point. Look no further. Come on down.

    This mattered to me. Girl, boom.

    Wit' my Kin' an' 'em. I always find a friend when I'm at Kinfolx. Always. I meet a new artist or a new face that I end up chatting it up with and just finding something to like about. Call it serendipity or living in the kind of city where folks tend to cultivate the creative, but Kinfolx's fresh interior often proves the perfect backdrop for a good conversation alongside their great drinks and grub. Kinfolx serves as an excellent workspace but can also quickly get a bit crowded, so that's something to bear in mind. Kinfolx also hosts a slew of community events and workshops, working with local organizations who put on various events or projects at the café. You can check their website to see what they've got coming up or to book the venue for your own soirée. And to top it all off? They have a bidet. Pretty much perfect.

    Back again and the service and ambiance were both stellar. I just wanted to get on here to encourage you all to get the Kinfolx Latte! It's heavenly!

    Banana cream cold foam is seasonal! The matcha came unsweetened but you can add syrup to your drink or just add sugar yourself. The ambiance was everything and the cafe is so cute!

    The vibes at Kinfolx are always good. This is a Black owned business that promotes inclusivity. It's a good place to study, sit down for a bit, or grab food or drinks to go. It has a very art deco/black renaissance interior. I really enjoy the artwork, books the selves, wine display, and overall aesthetic. People watching has been one of my favorite things to do while waiting for my coffee to go. The coffee is delicious

    Popped in for breakfast snack after going to my union hall around the corner. Was delighted to find so many great things. The ambiance was popping, hello beautiful artwork! The menu had options, hello tasty vegetarian breakfast situations! I chose the veggie patty and my husband had the avocado toast. Neither of us are vegetarians but it slapped none the less. He had a straight black coffee and j had a matcha latte with almond milk and for the first time in my life the matcha wasn't sweetened. Amazing!! I sprinkled a few grains of raw sugar in my drink and that was it. We sat in a lovely velvet couch, had a lovely conversation and enjoyed our time. Glad to know this place is nearby a place we frequent for work. Will be back.

    I expected actual lox in the bagel and lox sandwich that I ordered but instead got a lox smear. What a let down for the price I paid. The cashier acted like she didn't want to be there. Casual atmosphere. The Kinfolx latte was alright.

    Chicken pesto and an iced americano
    Munirah T.

    I really enjoy going to this cafe! The interior is very cute, decorated with art and different furniture pieces. It has lots of natural light too. The staff is very kind, even to the homeless which I adore!! I usually order an iced Americano with caramel and it hits the spot. I've also tried their chicken pesto sandwich and I loved it.

    The scene on a Thursday at 11am. Real spacious and enough seats to settle in for a coffee date or study session.
    Jamey P.

    Came here midday on a recent Thursday and found lots of people inside. A mix of folks on computers or with company. I got a latte, while my friend got the mocha latte and a breakfast sandwich. Real spacious, a good meeting/study spot. The menu looks solid too. I still have my eye on the jerk chicken empanada!

    Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and a brown sugar latte
    Bri D.

    Kinfolx is an amazing cafe and community spot! There's often plenty of parking on the street and there is a parking garage super close for accessibility. BART is about a ten minute drive away and plenty of bus stops nearby too! Really grateful for this space, the events they throw, and the community atmosphere alongside incredible food and drinks. My friend got their matcha latte and veggie breakfast sandwich and loved it. My bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and brown sugar latte were yummy too! I loved that they sell all different kinds of wine, art, and swag. Truly a great place with an open space! Loved how accessible it was to move around and not feel cramped. Beautiful spot, location, and amazing people. Highly recommend!

    Vanilla bean latte
    Faith C.

    Lovely vibes and plentiful seating. A great place to get some work done, especially since they have outlets available! Got a hot vanilla bean latte and thought it was delicious. I'm eager to try other drinks and food next time (:

    Ask the Community - Kinfolx

    Is the cafe open during events?

    What's the kinfolx space fee (3.5%)? Bought a coffee to go and got charged an additional fee.

    How's the wifi?

    Great-- I can do everything from casual email & web browsing to video calls, larger file downloads, insta scrolling, etc.

    Do they serve decaf coffee? I went there 2 weeks ago and the person at the front desk said that they didn't have any that day.

    They did have some the day I went.

    This has been on my list of places to check out for awhile and today I finally popped in…read more I was told they've been in business since 2010. I loved the decor! Once you're seated inside, you can imagine you're in just about any rustic wine region kicking back with some local wines and people. I did the sparkling wine flight. I really enjoyed what I tasted (see photo). I think because there was going to be a Georgian food pop up, the kitchen wasn't as it usually is. I had a little board of brillant savarian triple cream and salchichon salami. What a treat! The service was unusual. Part of it is that it's a wine bar and shop. The person staffing the bar was really busy doing many different things. As that was the case, interacting felt a bit strained. At the same time, considering how much she had going on, she kept it together. I appreciated that she kept track of who was next. Something that stood out to me was how reasonably priced the wines are. Great "bang for the buck." I see myself being a regular.

    Came here for a little wine moment with the girls after work. Overall good vibes and wine!…read more Ordered: A bottle of an orange wine and the cheese plate. Highlights: Everything on the cheese plate was delish (always could use more bread though). The wine was also good. Notes: I feel like the service could have been more clear. We got seated but didn't know if it was an order at the bar of place so were just sitting and waiting for a bit. Someone eventually came by and got our order but we ended up just going to the bar to order more and pay at the end.

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.
