This drive thru coffee shop has been serving the snack quick coffee and snacks for years!! I need a little treat drove through for a vanilla latte and lemon pastry. It was everything I needed. The staff was super nice and got me on my way asap. To get there, It is a quick turn so you have to pay attention, but it's worth it. read more

Solid bagel! Egg was good, sausage was juicy, bagel was fine. The bagel rating itself was 7/10. The people who took my order were nice and friendly and fast. So convenient to drive by for a quick breakfast. read more

I hate doing this because I frequently come here. My kids love their smoothies and it's convenient. Unfortunately every time I come and am "helped" by the young lady with the tattoos and face piercings she has a horrible attitude and makes you feel like your bothering her by showing up to get food and drinks. I have been meaning to write this for months but always assume she's having a bad day. Well today at around 4:30pm the be right back sign was up. I assumed they weee on a potty break and told my young kids that we would wait 5 minutes and if they weren't back we would just go somewhere else for smoothies. She walked up saying things under her breath that felt like she was cursing us out for being there, rolled her eyes and just had the worst face ever. She went in , opened the window and said "what do you want" I asked for my kids drinks and then my 4 year old asked for a sandwich and she said very rudely "no more food" I said okay and she said abrasively "anything else" I said no. She handed me my kids drinks and when I said thank you she just closed the window. My advice to this girl is to find a job that brings you joy because clearly servicing a mother and her children is not what you want to do. My advice for the owners is to find workers who want to work and serve others with warmth. I also want to make it clear I have never been rude to her even with her awful attitude. Today I almost said something to her but with my children in the car it wasn't worth it. Next time I see her I will do what she probably wants and not stop here. Too bad for the owners/business. read more

The Mango Pineapple fruit juice is SO REFRESHING ON A HOT DAY. I loved it. No added extra juice. Staff is always pleasant. She adjusted it to have more mango for me. read more

I love anything drive-thru. And this drive-thru served amazing coffee and smoothies too. Furthermore, the service was so friendly. Highly recommended! read more

Man I am LOYAL to this place. Everything here is good! The iced mocha, the mocha java smoothie, regular java smoothie, iced cinnamon dolce, breakfast sandwich... There aren't many drive thru coffee places in oakland so this one is super convenient. Also, the girls working are always super sweet!! I ride for this spot fr and always bring visitors here when we wanna grab a quick coffee :) it's also right by the freeway ramp. There's a 50¢ card fee so I always bring cash with me to make my order a little cheaper! read more

Hello. I usually love this place as I bring the kiddo here as something fast and yummy. I've been going at least for the past eight months multiple times a week and usually there is great customer service and all, but lately they hired this girl with a nasty attitude, the lady with a flower face tattoo since I didn't catch her name. She has been rude countless times even the kiddo notices. We assumed it was a bad day but it's been week after week, not sure what her issue is but it sucks since we love this place. She also waters down my coffees in a way that literally no other employee there does so idk if it's personal or if maybe she's not the sharpest, but regardless we came back and gave it more and more chances. Not after today with her rudeness regarding a receipt. It bothered me so much so that I actually won't be back after today which is a shame - so convenient and fast. I also never leave reviews unless something really bugs me. She has been and after today no more. read more

Great coffee and customer service! I recommend the deluxe bagel sandwiches, they are so good!

I go to a gym near the area and sometimes when I'm done working out in the morning on weekends, I'd come here to get a coffee to get an extra boost for the day. I love how quick they are with getting my coffee ready and super convenient that it's a drive thru! I always get the vanilla iced latte, and it always turns out great! read more

This place is always consistent with their smoothies and food. The service is amazing and the girls working are very kind. I love how convenient and fast it is to get a quick breakfast! I've been coming here for over a decade and will continue to treat myself to these smoothies! read more

I've been here a couple of times and each time I get the salmon bagel. They don't call it a lox sandwich, but that's basically what it is. No capers, but I like it that way. I've also tried the morning star smoothie--what an interesting mix of tangy and creamy. Refreshing for sure, and definitely a great choice when the weather starts to warm up again! Very cute and convenient little spot. read more

Menu said $8.65 for a large smoothie, but it was actually $9.25 but it was honestly bomb AF I can't even be mad.

Okay, like I said I am becoming a regular! If I don't have breakfast ready, this is my go to. Today I got the sunrise smoothie. It is SOOOO good. Tastes like summer time. As always quick and friendly service. I love this place. read more

It's super quick and conveniently located! The baristas are kind and super speedy. The breakfast sandwiches are better than Starbucks the taste, portion and price. I think the syrups could be better and more rich/flavorful (possibly invest in a better brand). But it's one of the only drive throughs in Oakland and overall I love it so much. Always a great place to stop on my way to work!! read more

I love this place. Great service and good prices. Give them your business!! A million times better than Starbucks or Peets..... I always get a smoothie and a coffee. They have amazing seasonal options and such a cute little drive through. Convenient on my way to work. Creative menu with great products! Love love love Lucia's. read more

Oh goodness, I've been meaning to write a review about Lucia Drive Through for a while now. I grew up in the PNW where Drive through espresso stands are really common, I'm so happy to have found one of a very few drive through espresso stands in the bay. Special shout out to Carla and Jade (I believe I spelled both of your names correctly, do correct me if I'm wrong) I adore swinging by for a drink, sometimes I'm not even in the mood for a coffee but I want to swing by simply because they are so friendly. Truly one of the bay areas highlights. Thank you for being so courteous and friendly. The coffee is also really good! read more

Classic spot. workers are all nice, it's quick and there's tons of good drink options.

Ordered some bagels untoasted and I am pretty certain they were at least a day old, which is not okay for a bagel place. The fact that it was 10am on a Saturday and all they had left were jalapeño, cinnamon raisin, and egg only adds credibility to that. read more

this is the spot!!!! i'm always stopping here on my way to work because it's SO quick every time, bigggg fan! smoothies, bagels, chai, espresso -- the whole menu slays and the staff is always super lovely!!! read more

I love the Convenience of this place. I can just drive up , get caffeine and breakfast and head to work. Usually great service. Today I'm a little disappointed my cup felt kind of empty and sure enough it was. read more

They have excellent latte's and coffee. I will try the sandwich's next time. Super friendly, great service.

Love this little spot! Such a lucky find - convenient location & their hours are great, seems hard to find a coffee place that's not a chain and is open past 3pm. Their menu is extensive, too - breakfast sandwiches are yummy & they make the best oat milk latte! Everyone is super friendly and sometimes they even have little Milkbones they give out when my pup is in the car with me. :) read more

I never really appreciated drive through Windows prior to being a parent. Today was a prime example of joe amazing they are. My child would not nap for my partner, so I took her with me. I had to go pick something up from my dentist and swing by a store to grab some OJ, since I forgot it this morning (I only went to three stores). Of course my child falls asleep in the car, before I could get the OJ. I was in Temescal already, so checked out their menu, drove through, got the OJ. Got home and felt like a total mommy bad ass, since my child was still asleep. This place is awesome! Thanks for the great service! read more

I'm not the biggest smoothie devotee, but I think this place does a solid job. Located right next to an oil change shop (and right next to a freeway entry ramp), you can either drive up to the window or walk up to place your order. I've never done the driving option, so I'm not sure how quickly service would go if there was a line of cars. However, there has never been a line when I've gone (maybe I've avoided the morning traffic rush?), and service has been prompt and attentive. I've tried the pineapple smoothie, and it is full of pineapple flavor and is not overly sweet. You can also get whip cream added if you want to be decadent. I'm definitely a fan! read more

Pleasant staff. Really good coffee. Wait time is minimal. Veggie bagel with avocado is good.

My favorite part? They're open at 6am. There are two drive through areas once you pull up. My go to is the banana smoothie with chocolate. It's takes some times because everything is made right there. It is refreshing, cheap, and amazing! read more

This was my go to coffee spot while living in Oakland. The coffee is super affordable and delicious. This is a small business that uses coffee from another local small business. It has a drive through so it's perfect when going to work. The bagel sandwiches are also super delicious. I highly recommend read more

Great location by the on ramp to 24. Organic coffee! Friendly service, they'll add cream and sugar for you with a smile. You can even drive up on either side of the booth. Too bad the coffee isn't great... Because the lines are so bad everywhere else, this is still a go-to spot when you're in Temescal and in a hurry. read more

Great little drive-thru for smoothie and/or a danish! I always get a pineapple smoothie and a bagel. Both are always delicious! I only wish their hours were longer. read more

Blended coffee and ice is not a smoothie. You can literally get the same coffee across the street for 2 bucks a cup. I paid 6.50 coffee with creamer. Lmao not even worth it read more
