From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with genuine kindness and bright smiles that make you feel instantly at home. I tried the Arsenal matcha and the tuna egg salad -- both were absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The space itself is wonderfully spacious with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere that makes it perfect for a peaceful breakfast, a casual lunch, or simply enjoying a slow cup of tea. The customer profile here is a lovely mix: locals, families, students, and people who appreciate authentic food and heartfelt hospitality. A truly charming place where good food and warm human connection come together beautifully.

My daughter had avocado toast and it was pretty odd, the avocado was 3x the expected amount and it was very liquid and oily seeming. Maybe olive oil was added? Anyway, it was a mess and not so great. The location is on a dock near the marina and you have some nice views of the water, boats and surrounding neighborhood. Seating a bit limited on the deck wrapping around the little cafe. Service was friendly and quick. If you live nearby I suggest checking it out!

Smooth, balanced, and clearly made by someone who cares. Quick and important note: this isn't a pup-friendly café inside (totally fair), and I missed the sign - but the folks working there were incredibly gracious and kind when I popped in briefly with my dog to place our order. That warmth matters, and it shows. Sunny sidewalk moments, neighborhood energy, and food + coffee that absolutely deliver. This is one of those Oakland spots you're grateful exists--and then quietly hope doesn't get too crowded (but also deserves all the love).

They offered many different matcha options, and matcha demos and also offered small bites of dumplings. The matcha demo area showcased where the leaves originated from and also gave some history and background! Very informative! Matcha Latte was very flavorful with just the right amount of sweet. Could definitely taste a difference in the flavor of the matcha powder itself. It's also cool to be able to see the baristas making your drinks. I also had the iced yam latte. Chefs kiss!!! It was amazing. Like a sweet potato pie in coffee form. I'm in love. The building is beautiful! It used to be a bank, and was at one time the EDD office. Beautiful historical building. Definitely a wonderful Saturday spent in Oakland at a lovely black owned coffee shop!!

There was a sign out front offering all sorts of goodies, so we vowed that we'd be back. The next weekend found us taking our seats at the communal tables under the redwoods (dress in layers), being poured cups of well-brewed Peet's coffee. Even though it was clear that we weren't from Canyon (CoCoCounty's last bastion of hippie-dom), we were warmly welcomed. The food's good -- omelettes, fruit, and so on. The stand-out item on the menu is that bacon-stuffed waffle. The Baffle. That's genius, that is.

This is a very friendly, laid back environment with nice servers and great food.

I don't usually write reviews, but this tuna sandwich deserves one…read more I come here almost every day, and somehow... it never gets old. The first bite hits the same every single time--fresh, perfectly seasoned tuna with just the right texture, tucked into warm, crispy bread that's toasted to perfection. It's simple, but done so well that it feels like something new every time I eat it. There's something addictive about the balance--the crunch of the bread, the creaminess of the tuna, and that subtle flavor that keeps you coming back without ever getting tired of it. If you're into classic sandwiches done right, this is it. No hype needed. Just consistently great.

I have been eating delicious sandwiches from Modigliani Café since it opened. Always so delicious,…read moreand so friendly. But I have to wax poetic for a minute: today I ate the very best pastrami I have ever had. I grew up on the East Coast (as did the proprietor) and I have easily eaten 500 reuben sandwiches in my life (because they are pretty much the very best). This pastrami is absurd. It is thin. It is tender. It is flavorful. It is meaty but not stringy or fatty. It is moist. It is a love letter. It is a sweet whisper. It is goodness through and through. Made into a reuben, this pastrami is divine. I believe the proprietor makes his own thousand island dressing and it is just right. The bread has been pressed and grilled, and is neither tough nor soggy. You taste and feel the cheese, but it does not overwhelm. In short, I am in heaven. The proprietor of Modigliani Café grew up in a family that worked with meat, and he won an award when he was quite young for curing bacon (you can see the certificate on the wall in the shop). So my suspicion is that this pastrami is his creation. And I bet that bacon was the best ever. Pay Modigliani Café a visit. Everything I've ever ordered was delicious. Bring cash because they don't take cards.
