We stopped by during one of the busiest weekends of Black History Month for the Black Joy Parade, and from the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless. Yes, the line was long -- but it moved quickly and smoothly, a true testament to how well the day was organized (they even had a bathroom attendant on site, which says a lot). We came ready to celebrate, and they delivered -- wine flowing by the glass and by the bottle, good energy all around. What we didn't expect was how easy it would be to settle in. Between the warm hospitality, the inviting ambience, and thoughtful touches like coffee and fresh pastries available to enjoy, we found ourselves lingering longer than planned. We loved it so much we ended up purchasing two bottles and staying awhile. Deshawn and his team truly exceeded expectations. It wasn't just service -- it was an experience. read more

My first time visiting the business. Very nice and clean place. Sunday was a very busy day due to the Black Joy Parade, which is understandable having a long line. My complaint is there were one of the business owners or employee standing around (tall, dark in statue) doing nothing for what I noticed, while the other two busy trying to serve the people to the best of their ability. I feel that if he would have been helping the line would have moved faster. That was not a good look especially while we trying to get in and out. Customer service is a plus to make a business successful. Remember, it is the Customers that is your business so strive to keep them happy. Wishing Marin's Kitchen & Coffee all the luck and success. read more

Marin's is a very cute place!! It was recommended to me from a friend and I decided to give it a try. I ordered the steak bites and eggs. The meal was very flavorful. The steak, potatoes, and eggs were all served in a bowl with a side of toast. The steak was slightly more cooked than I liked but it was so damn good. Service was good! Definitely will be back! read more

First of all, the potats were sufficiently crispy, all around, and what else do you need than that? The egg sammy was tasty and the hibiscus mocha was mellow and very good too. read more

The cafe is super adorable and looks like a great place to hang out or do work. You can tell they put a lot of effort into intentionally making the space work from the layout to having a lot of mounted power strips. The staff was friendly and the service was good. We were one of 3 seated guests when we went. The food was decent and the coffee was good. The seasoned potatoes were the best part of the burrito! I wish it had more eggs and the pico felt too herb heavy and tomato light for what I was expecting. My fiancé liked the turkey sausage and the waffle was crispy but didn't stand out. I would recommend getting one of the options with the seasoned potatoes. It was the most memorable part of my meal. read more

Finding breakfast and lunch in downtown Oakland has been hard. Especially since a lot of businesses has closed due to less traffic. Well I'm glad I gave this place a try and I hope this encourages you to take a chance on a new business. The place has an elevated modern style the warm colors of the decor was calming. The staff was so pleasant and attentive. From the cashier, to the chef from the persons in the kitchen. All very welcoming. I went two days in a row for the pan seared Salmon. It was delicious simple and with the price. The flavor was consistent both days. However my coworker thought it was too seasoned, so it really depends on your flavor preference. But I thought it was perfect I can't wait to try their breakfast sandwiches and matcha! read more

I had the best steak salad I have ever had. I had the Steak Mediterranean salad and it was the bomb. My only complaints are I would of liked more lettuce and the service was laking. Service was kinda slow for a salad and smoothie. Placed my order more than 30 minutes before they closed. And then I ran an errand around the corner. When I went to pick up my food up she forgot to make my smoothie. I had to ask for a refund, but because the quality of the Steak and dressing was really good I'm definitely giving them another try. read more

Was walking to work and stumbled upon this place. I Got a burnt cinnamon coffee! Very tasty and very kind staff

My staff rushed out on break to grab coffee. When they returned I found this divine French pastry at my desk! I don't know what it's called but I do know I have never had anything as delicious as this!! It was like a sweet, crunchy yet soft croissant. Very reminiscent of those palmier cookies. It was fresh and still warm, I savored every single bite! My taste buds were in heaven! I cannot wait to go for myself and find more deliciousness!! Note: I was told this pastries are sold at Marin's but outsourced from a local bakery! read more

I'm going to start with the Customer Service- IMPECCABLE! I ordered a Breakfast Sandwich with Turkey sausage on Brioche -- like what the in the heck! Pure DELICIOUSNESS! The bread was oh so soft, the components in the sandwich, an over easy fried egg, PERFECTION! I enjoyed every last bite, and let's not forget the Country style Potatoes, the amount of flavors that were tap dancing on my taste buds. Very very cute ambiance, it was very welcoming, you know when you walk into a place and it has a warmth feeling?! This is one of those places. 10/10, If your in the Downtown Oakland area and want a BOMB Breakfast Sandwich, this is at the top of the list! Try it you will NOT be disappointed! read more

great lattes, great sandwiches, great staff. I love the huge windows and natural light. the music is great.

Came in and looked at their menu and noticed they offered Hibiscus Latte and it caught my attention because I have not heard about it before. It was something new and great tasting, like hibiscus tea but thicker which gave it an element of texture which I enjoyed. read more

We found them on yelp and when u saw the reviews i had to stop by. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which everyone was raving about, and my husband ordered the steak bites with eggs, both were super good, flavorful and filling. I love the interior and the staff were so friendly and helpful. They have a bunch of different drink options but I love that they also have a coffee bar, one small recommendation is to have a coffee menu. But besides that you guys keep doing what you're doing!! Will be back to try the rest of the menu lol. Thank you Marin's read more

Ordered the pan-seared salmon for lunch today and it did not disappoint. The salmon was perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside--with a rich Cajun butter that added great flavor without being too heavy. It's served over a fresh spring mix with crisp veggies, and the dressing was really good--light, flavorful, and tied everything together really nicely. A great option if you're looking for something flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. I'd absolutely order this again. read more

I was walking over to a work meeting when I turned a street and saw Marin's Kitchen & Coffee on the corner. I had enough time to kill to stop by for a quick bite and coffee since I didn't have breakfast yet. Marin's was a cute cafe with a full kitchen. I picked up a chocolate kouign amann, which was deliciously buttery and flaky, but I would've definitely got a savory breakfast if time permitted. The staff members were really friendly and made my day with their hospitality and cheeriness. Their drinks come in regular and large sizes. The regular size was huge, so you get more bang for your buck. The vanilla almond milk latte was fine. It did taste watered down to me, but maybe I just prefer a really bold coffee taste. Looking forward to making Marin's part of my walk. read more

It's decent if you're in the area. They didn't have regular milk so I was forced to up charge to a different milk. Chicken Ceaser wrap is okay. Quiet inside as a nice place to do work. read more

I got the breakfast burrito bowl is came up to like $14 and some change, with bacon(meat change to sausage is $4). I love how it looks in here very bright and a cool vibe. Nice staff. The burrito bowl was delicious and very filling seasoned to perfection. There's guest WiFi if you want to work in the cafe also, ordering ahead isn't available yet. Seems to be black owned so go support!! read more

Super cute new cafe in downtown Oakland. The decor is so unique/eye catching. The staff were very friendly, I noticed they greeted every customer that walked through the door. Even the staff in the kitchen waved hello. Now let's get into this breakfast sandwich, I had been hearing so many great reviews about it and yes, the reviews are accurate- it is soo good! Reminded me of a home cooked meal - didn't skip out any of the flavors and the meal was a nice portion size The place recently opened; hence, they didn't have all of their coffee/tea options listed on a menu; however, the barista was very helpful! I tried the matcha with vanilla syrup and it was delicious. Better than a chain coffee spot. I'd rather support a local business. This is a black owned establishment which promotes other small businesses - I noticed locally owned products in there such as a sea moss drink brand and local privately owned water brand. Definitely plan to go back and try other food options. There is a breakfast menu and a different menu for lunch. They have wifi. Saw a few people using their personal laptops, which is a plus if working remotely. Adding this place to my coffee morning run before heading into work for sure! read more

I've been here 3 times. I like the food. However, I think the interactions with the employee's is lackluster. I could use a "good morning" and a smile, especially before 7:30 am when I'm fresh off an hour BART ride and desperately need to finish waking up with some coffee and a breakfast sandwich @ 16 bucks a pop! They seem ungrateful and blase' to have such a lovely aesthetic... This would keep me away but I love the food?! read more

We came across this place while attending an event nearby. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a kouign amann chocolate. The size of the burrito was more than enough, the flavor was unbelievable, and the price was great. The pastry was delicious too. We would definitely go back. read more

The breakfast sandwich was amazing and came with a side of hashbrown for $12. I will go back and try their lunch. Inside of the place is clean, new and the staff was extremely helpful. read more

Great coffee options and pastries, warm and friendly staff and great service, good vibes and great location! I definitely recommend this place and it's important that we support small businesses! read more

I went back to give them another shot and I was disappointed again. Food was done at a decent time but they told me they did not have avocado for the bowl and I told them how they missed that the previous day along with the salsa. Girllll why do I get to my desk and now there is no bacon. Lost me. If you go, make sure to check your food beore leaving. read more

Nice first impression! The service was very friendly. I ordered the steak bites with eggs. I was going to provide a picture but it smelled so wonderful I just dove in! Everything had an outstanding flavor & no additional seasoning was necessary. The interior was light & airy. Unfortunately I had to take my meal to go. Only down side, for me, is they don't take cash payments. I get it but I didn't bring my wallet or phone with me. My co-worker saved me from trekking back to the office empty-handed. I will definitely go back! read more

Customer service on point from the moment you walk through the door. That turkey sausage breakfast sandwich is ! You can have the egg how you like, grilled onions, spinach, and cheese! I chose to have it on an english muffin, plus it comes with some home fried potatoes! Have to go back and try some more dishes off the menu! read more

Friendly, super clean and great great cold brew! Area is bright and would be a good place to get work done
