My partner randomly grabbed us coffee here while staying in Oakland and I regret not coming back to get more. Forgive me if I'm misremembering drink names but I got an iced horchata latte and my partner got a hot Mexican hot chocolate latte. I appreciated how much flavor was in both drinks and the coffee was so smooth - very delicious. It also made me really happy to see the story of Proyecto Diaz since my family also has roots in Oaxaca. Please support this business or any of their other locations! You won't be disappointed with the drinks and should definitely grab a bag of coffee for later. I know I'm gonna be ordering myself a bag soon online... read more

I NEVER write reviews, being as old as I am, and I'm afraid that doing so will somehow ruin the magic of this amazing find. But I simply must give Proyecto Diaz my biggest stamp of approval! It is the best coffee house around. I had an iced horchata latte with oatmilk and pan de elote and they were SOOO delicious. The service coouldn't be better - warm, welcoming, and helpful. This peaceful tastefully designed cafe was such a wonderful surprise, in this kinda industrial area where I rarely find myself, but now will be sure to return as often as I can. read more

Went here for a work lunch with a coworker. She order the Mexican hot chocolate and I got the drip coffee. The drinks were good. The Mexican hot chocolate was delicious and a little spicy. She didn't get syrup as she is diabetic, love that they had different options for different needs. We also got the chicken tamale. It was good and a good size for the price. The place was calm and a bit busy. They worked fast and the inside was warm. Which is appreciated in the weather we had that day. Will go back to try the mazapan latte. read more

High quality and tasty coffee drinks with an assortment of Mexican flavors. We felt welcome, even with our 1.5 year old. Was pleasantly surprised when a staff member brought out toys for my little one to enjoy while I had much needed coffee break. There's a large outdoor courtyard outside that is also nice if you want some fresh air. The mocha was delicious, and had a spicy kick. I appreciated that the barista made sure I knew that. Will be back! read more

Proyecto Diaz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

This is such a nice coffee shop with lots lots of seating inside and outside! I had a Mazapan Latte and Mexican pastry bread. They were both delicious! I received good friendly service. read more

Friday morning was buzzing with activity and caffeine. Staff were friendly and seemed to keep the orders moving along smoothly. Pleasant to hang out in its simple, earthy, modern design. Outdoor seating is also lovely. Last time we were there I asked one of the staff which of their coffees were their favorite and they said they hadn't tried one they didn't like, then listed a few. I figured they work there so of course that's what they'd say...but here I am after having tried 5 of them and finding myself saying the same :). read more

SOO GOOD! Came here on a Saturday morning and I am glad I did! Cute local coffee shop - modern, minimal vibes with elements of their roots from Mexico. Right outside they have a beautiful mural that is eye catching and pleasing to the eye.. especially if you sit outside and enjoy your cup of coffee. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful when it came to sharing what was on their menu. The coffee itself is definitely top tier quality. My husband and I got the cafe de olla latte and the Mazapan Latte.. both were amazing, unique and absolutely delicious. The Mazapan was my favorite. Fairly priced as well! I hope to try their food options as well next time I come in. I will definitely be making this a regular coffee shop of mine! read more

A much needed coffee shop in West Oakland. Amazing atmosphere, excellent coffee, pastry selection. I wish you all the success and you will be seeing more of me!! read more

Easy to miss this spot in the same building as the climbing gym but there's a big sign that says coffee with an arrow. Been ordering the marzapan- peanut and sugar candy iced latte since I first been here and haven't veered away from it. Easily my favorite coffee spot in the area. The simple stools can double as working space for laptop. Great service too. Closed on Sundays. read more

Excellent coffee and exquisite service! Such a neighborhood gem. Love the Latin vibe from decor, items for purchase to the pan dulces. If you love ascintillating and a chill ambiance, grab your next cup of joe at Proyecto Diaz. read more

OH MY GODDDDDDDD! This place is SO SO SO cool! Fernando started me off with their medium roast drip from Vera Cruz and it was REALLY really perfect ! (Silky and chocolatey with some silky butterscotch and tropical fruit layers ....maybe even dried mango notes! I tried their super cool espresso set too which comes with a side of club soda and a delicious little Obleas Milk Candy Wafer (super authentic and unique)...... this espresso was an entire experience with the wafer and sparkling water chaser ! I showed up hungry and they have DELICIOUS Tamales hot and ready to go with the best salsa I've ever tasted ! I got all 3 flavors and they are ALL just to die for ..... Everything is super clean and handcrafted and infused with art and a lot of heart and authentic Oaxaca origin ! The entire staff vibes brightly and everyone is talented and smart about coffee if you choose to ask them questions about their stuff. I am a coffee roaster and a coffee geek so I love these vibes! Wow! Wow ! Wow. I would drive here from up to 50 miles away just to have these things again and enjoy time in this space ! read more

Even before it officially opened, this place became one of my most favorite local spots. The location is beautiful inside and out. The outdoor space sports a stunning mural and plenty of space. The most important thing, the coffee is amazing and I'm very picky. I buy beans here for my own espresso machine and they do not disappoint. The customer service is top notch and I am always treated warmly. That warmth spills out to the space itself which is beautiful place to enjoy your drinks and pan dulce . They display an array of unique artisan products and I have gotten a few and all have been excellent quality. The space is chic looking but underneath that is a lot of authenticity that you can feel as soon as you walk in the door. Clearly I am a big fan. read more

Amazing place to grab a specialty coffee and delicious tamale or pastry! My only suggestion is to add much more seating in the sunny patio and make a large coffee garden for all patrons to enjoy ;) read more

Cute coffee spot for a meet up or to work. I had two coffees and enjoyed both very much :) I started with the hot cafe de olla latte and cheese & chile tamale and they were delicious. We sat outside and there's a spacious amount of seating indoors and outdoors. The only thing I noted was that the indoor tables are extremely low so it would be hard to work on a laptop inside. Then I stayed so long I needed another drink, so I tried the nitro cold brew with the cafe de olla syrup (can you tell I loved it?!) and a cajeta pastry. The cold brew was powerful and delicious, the pastry was a bit dry-- I expected the inside to be soft and gooey like dulce de leche but it was dry. Would have been better to dip the pastry in a hot coffee! The service was phenomenal, the barista kindly filled up all my giant water bottles and was attentive and friendly. Overall I would highly recommend this cafe. read more

What an absolute gem in this neighborhood!!! Extremely high-quality coffee, unique, menu, and ambience, kind people. I'm especially fond of their nitro cold brew and all the little treats and gifts around! read more

Popped over to this place as I was leaving Pac Pipe. (The old pop-up cafe inside PP seems to have closed down, so this is a nice alternative.) Proyecto's got a very clean, nicely lit Oaxacan vibe goin. The atole and the dirty chai latte were both excellent. Texture of the masa in the alote was rough and soothing; spicing in the DCL was a perfect mix of sweet & hot. I will definitely be back. read more

Been a fan of this place for a long time. So glad they finally opened a shop. The customer service is great. The pan dulce is delicious. Quality coffee and a fair price. Plenty of seating and the space has some really cool Mexican art for sale. I am definitely picky when it comes to my coffee and where I spend my money. This place is worth it every penny. Hannah and the rest of the staff is incredibly nice. So proud to see Latine coffee and Mexican baked goods and art getting the attention they deserve. I will definitely be a regular and still buy their beans online! read more

This is by far, the best coffee in town. First sip slaps you in the face then cuddles you like a warm blanket. That trek to the SF Ferry Building farmer's market was worth the trip. Glad to see a brick and mortar in Oakland for a quicker trip to caffeine heaven. read more

Cute and lovely little cafe. Everyone behind the counter was so nice and took time to answer a few questions I had. I got the atole and it was freaking delicious. 10/10 will come back to try more. read more
