Happy New Years everyone! We decided to start our new years with trying a local coffee shop that we never been to before. We called to make sure they were open, and thankfully they were! We found parking on the street. I'm not too sure if they have a small lot for customers to park. There were people sitting inside, and customers walking in and out. It must be a very loved neighborhood coffee shop. I enjoyed the ambiance of this coffee shop. It is super cute. I would've enjoyed sitting outside if it wasn't rainy. We ordered a peppermint mocha and expresso with a little bit of milk. I would say it is pretty decent. We originally wanted only condensed milk for the expresso, but I think the lady misheard us. It's alright though. We also got a salmon bagel with cream cheese on the side. It was delicious! Total came to 22.25! Cash only or Venmo! read more

Showed up today, been visiting quite often. Sandwiches and bagels remain amazing, service remains friendly. This time noticed that if you order iced coffee some of the ice is cubed coffee ice, (see picture of coffee cubes) therefore mitigating the whole ice melting dilution of coffee. Great attention to detail 5/5 read more

So cute stopped here on my way home from a hike in Oakland! We love to how it was a local coffee shop. it gave off family owned vibes, the girl working at the counter and greeted us and talked with us. She was really sweet with a big smile. They definitely love dogs in this coffee shop the owner you could tell had a soft spot for dogs. All over there were things to look at. It was so cute. Also, there was even though we didn't order anything. It looked delicious. There was a place to sit in and outside the coffee shop. Definitely a great place to stop and get some iced coffee. I will be back. read more

Very friendly service. Coffee could've been a little bit stronger. The inside is very small here, but they have a cute outdoor space. Had to wait a little bit with 2 people ahead of me, and only one girl working, taking both food and drink orders. She was friendly though and apologized for the wait. (No problem!) Tried a strawberry vanilla latte, which I believe just had strawberry and vanilla syrup. It tasted like I expected, but I think their coffee is a little bit weaker than I'm used to. Flavor was good though. They only had 2% milk and the alternatives, no whole milk. Not sure if that was because they ran out or they just don't carry it. It's cash only but looks like they accept Venmo now! read more

I'm not sire how this place serves food and drink, but has no restroom for customers. My elderly father had to walk to the 7-11 to use the facilities. read more

This place is the best! Huge menu, and incredibly sweet owners. They said the parking lot to the right of the cafe is okay to park in too for up to 1.5 hours, but I parked on the street which was easy to find on a Saturday afternoon. The patio is perfect, with one nicely shaded table and 3 in the sun, and the owners specified that it doesn't close, so I continued to use the wifi studying past closing time. One note is they don't take card, but do take venmo. read more

Good food and a friendly staff. Very friendly service. Parking is somewhat tight but we always find a spot.

This is definitely my favorite café I've ever been to. One of my good friends walks here and gets coffee every day and that's how I found out about the place. I really enjoy coming here and having lunch with my family. The owner Thyda and her family and employees are all so friendly. It's a cozy little shop with a very inviting feel to it. Everything here is great but my favorite is definitely the chicken salad sandwich ! I feel like I could eat it every day and never get tired of it it's so good. I really like the snack bars that they sell there called Handlebar. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

Like Café Nervosa from Frasier (from the TV show in the '90's) but convenient to Montclair Village. Great sandwiches, great egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, ham & turkey. Great service, Fine Ambiance! Go see Tyda! read more

Sometimes you just want a delicious, simple,fresh lunch at reasonable prices! That feels hard to find these days in the Bay Area, but this cafe is it! The owner is lovely and they provide great, friendly service. A great spot if you are in the area. read more

Food is good. Love this location, with lots of beautiful trees. Parking is a little hard, as there's an elementary school next door. Thyda, the shop owner, has been so sweet. I've been able to showcase some of my art work too. read more

Yummy and cute! Very mom and pop style. Hopefully they accept card soon, but great menu nonetheless.

Espresso & Club Soda Several things Ive learned about campaigning...you have to campaign. Some issues dont effect everyone. Some ppl operate in kindness, respecting ppl, and doing their best already! I see small business owners do things to create community. Creating the spaces they want to see close to their home, kids school etc its a beautiful world out in Oakland!

Was looking for a quick coffee and came by Thornhill thanks to my fellow Yelpers! Ordered the gingerbread latte and wasn't disappointed. Was warm, flavorful, and spiced. The perfect pick me up for a Sunday afternoon. Would definitely be back! read more

We stopped here wnroute to the Oakland Zoo and it was a well worthwhile stop. I ordered an iced latte and to my surprise there was frozen espresso cubes integrated in the drink so it was delicious from start to finish. The lady had a seasonally delicious peppermint mocha and said the service was amazing. Little man got extra taken care of and got a perfectly tempered hot chocolate with cream and rainbow marshmallows. He was in heaven. read more

This little quaint place in Oakland is a hidden gem! We were exploring the area and stopped by. I have to say that the selection was amazing! Even the regular drip coffee hit the spot on a cold rainy afternoon. The baked goods were great too with the coffee. We had the cupcakes and macaroons. Highly recommended! read more

I have been coming to this coffee shop for about 20 years. My kids would come in the morning and afternoon, for hot chocolate, sandwiches, snacks or just to say Hi. Thyda has watched my kids grow up as I have watched hers. Even now I still go by just for nostalgia and have a nice cup of coffee to sit and watch the cars go by. It is a family-run business and I will continue to visit for 20 more years. Thank you Thyda for many years of hot coffee and your friendly smile. read more

The owner is very warm, loving and caring. She's very professional the ambience and environment is awesome, she offers home cooked wheels with reasonable prices. I am able to sit here for 30 minutes or so and enjoy my lunch and continue on with my day. read more

Thornhill Coffee House - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Thor hill is Avery unique coffee house to me. The owner and her son were the only two working. The environment was warm and friendly. I had a turkey sandwich. It was made to order using all fresh ingredients. Other customers came in they were all greeted with a smile and warmth. The parking was tight. And they take cash or Vimeo. It answered the old questioned, "If Andy, had a coffee shop in Mayberry, how would that feel?" read more

Greta coffee and lunch! Would recommend anyone to come here and enjoy a great breakfast or lunch.

This is the closest coffee and food to my work at Thornhill Elementry. I've unfortunately only had time to go there once so far after hearing wonderful things from my colleagues since we went back to in-person in March 2021. I plan to rectify that tomorrow by picking up lunch for our full PD day on campus. I've already tried their breakfast sandwich and drip coffee. The food is delicious and Thyda, the proprietor, is phenomenal at Customer Service. read more

Today is a busy mom week. Living the single mom of 4 life until Friday. Finishing my work deadlines into the evening, I went to bed at 2:30am... With early pick ups at 11:30 & 1:30. And again at 3:05 & 4:00... I needed some peace and quiet to relax my anxieties of my insane schedule. A little breakfast & coffee, too! I wanted to try something different than the usual hustle and bustle of people moving at a fast pace in Montclair Village & Lake Merritt. Yelped for coffee & found this 4.5 star gem. Tucked away in Montclair. Near Thornhill Elem. you'll find this coffee shop. Away from busy streets. You can hear children playing in the distances and birds chirping. The owner, a lovely Cambodian lady, knows all the regulars. She plays with the babies while a mom has a bit of breakfast. She even helped a mom roll out her stroller to the car as the mom held her toddler. She went out with a dog treat to say hello to an dog owner on their morning walk around the neighborhood. She works almost 7 days a week. And her college age children come home on the weekends to give her some time to relax. If your looking for a place to slow down for the busy world and relax, this place is it! Don't expect a barista to rush your order. Expect to have a touching conversation with an immigrant woman who went from not knowing English to becoming a small business owner. Except to share your story as well and leave with a big warm hug & a gentle smile! This place is the definition of above and beyond service with a smile! Now on to the breakfast goodies: The coffee was amazing! She'll overflow your cup and ask you to sip it to make sure you enjoy. It was a bit too warm for me to sip. But, I liked that she doesn't waste a drop. She said if my raspberry mocha is too sweet, just add extra house coffee! That's so generous to offer that option. AND the Lox Bagel was the best I've ever had! You'll never see me at Noah's Bagels again! I don't know if it's the brand of smoke salmon or the fact that she's passionate about her cafe that made it taste like your body is embraced in a cozy cloud. I felt like my meal was made with such love! After my bagel, I walked out with my still hot mocha. Took a deep breathe under the redwoods that provide the cafe with shade. I walked over to my car with the biggest smile. And was ready to start my day. But, without the stresses and anxieties I originally woke up with. I think I may go there after morning drop offs this week to get that feeling of relaxation to jump start my day. But, now I'm wondering if they have WiFi so I can get some work done there as well. read more

A small coffee house with excellent food. Had the BLT and a cup of fruit. The fruit was so fresh and tasty. The BLT was one of the best I have had in a long time. Service is very good. Definitely would recommend this place. read more

A friendly spit of great coffees and teas, and good food. They don't at present take credit cards, but your cash is always accepted. Street parking is usually available. It's small inside, but the outside tables are quietly lovely, and the service extremely friendly. read more

My best friend and I stopped in and had a couple delicious Italian sodas after taking a walk in the neighbor. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly, makes the spot extra inviting. read more

I'm sorry this place must have been cool before the pandemic but yesterday when I went the only coffee they had were canisters of dark roast and decaf, so you have to pour yourself a coffee. Which was kind of confusing because they had the coffee menu with lattes and stuff. So I ended up getting a sandwich and he made my egg in the microwave and half of the sandwich was cold. read more

They now have Summer Rolls (Goi Cuon or whatever the equivalent Cambodian name is (owner and staff are Cambodian) pic - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XyIq_SfY-AM3vkusXq6GCQ?select=ZhzNCuvpynzpc3rSxCwHfA) made by the owner's cousin with both Shrimp & Tofu versions. The sauce is fish sauce based with ground peanuts. Yum! read more

Miss Bad Idea Bear has the day off, and so do I...so we have a lot of catching up to do, and not enough energy to get through the day. That's where this little coffee shop comes in play. It's nestled in the middle of nowhere with a loyal following and an interesting menu. Pad Thai at a coffee shop? Yes, I read that right, and so did you. She ordered an iced mocha which she loved. I had a latte which I swear was a cappuccino given the amount of foam as compared to the milk ratio. And I'm not a fan of foam. Hence I was still groggy and tired, and not much fun to talk to since I really didn't get the latte I needed, and ended up pouring the drink down Miss Bad Idea Bear's sink. Hence the 3 stars. read more
