Was really looking forward to finally checking this place out. They have a bunch of things to try on the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a lot of people in there 1/2 an hour before closing too so I'm sure the place is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried something new cause I usually love this drink: banana matcha, (Even though i originally came to try something else) but I was disappointed. Matcha flavor was really light and so was the banana flavor. It was more of a light matcha milk, if you will. I will come back to try what I originally wanted to drink (horchata matcha latte, I believe it was) cause I really think they have good drinks. I've heard great things from friends so maybe I just got a bad drink, off day, or because it was a new drink on the menu, it just hasn't been perfected yet? Not sure but just wasn't what I usually expect from a matcha drink. Other than that, service was great. The cashier was really nice. I was able to find street parking really easily as well. (If you do try the banana matcha, maybe ask for less milk!) read more

I was walking down Broadway on my way home this morning when I passed this place and decided to pop in for a matcha. I'm glad I did! I ordered a small blueberry iced matcha, and it was really good. The matcha itself had a rich flavor, and the blueberry came through nicely without making the drink overly sweet. It was a really refreshing combination. Even while I was there, there seemed to be a steady stream of people coming in and out, which is always a good sign. I wish I had picked up one of the pastries to try, but I'll definitely have to save that for my next visit. read more

I love Tierra Mia! Coming from LA, I would always get their caramel frappe, so I'm glad they have locations in the Bay Area. The drinks are consistently delicious.

I had the frozen Mazapan drink and it was wonderful!!!!! I have had a few in other places and Tierra Mia's is the best so far.

Stumbled upon this place on my way to los Angeles surprisingly nothing was open in oakland at 6 am [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute ambiance love the culture history it provides.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was basically small bakery items. Would've loved to see a little more food options, especially since they are open early. I would assume they draw more traffic. Service was great until it wasn't. I asked for whipped cream on my coffee which I assumed came with a Mexican mocha. You would've thought I was asking for other girls first born however, I did get some whipped cream put on a lid and then placed back on my coffee.The girl had an ugly look on her face however the girl that rang me up in the red blouse and the guy with a lime green and white blouse made my drink I believe were super nice. read more

Stopped by at around 8am for a quick coffee and there was not many people. The service was quick and friendly. I tried the horchata latte and it was delicious, not too sweet, just the perfect blend. I also had the almond croissant and it was the best croissant I have had. My sister got the banana latte and it was truly amazing as well. You can really taste the banana. read more

Tierra Mia Coffee is a wonderful cafe with delicious drinks and pastries that bring the community together. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As I came on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty busy and bustling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The baristas and workers have a great system in place to keep moving orders along. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating inside, but it does get pretty cramped with the large crowd rush.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I decided to try the mazapan peanut frappe as I love mazapan and was intrigued by how it would taste in a drink. I was pleasantly surprised by how creamy and sweet it was! The peanut gives a slight salty and nutty flavor profile to the drink. I really enjoyed it! Overall, I would love to come back and try more of their drinks! read more

I was early for a meeting, so decided to pop in for a coffee. Established in 2008, this is the only NorCal location of this SoCal based coffee chain, which features Latin inspired drinks. Even though the ceiling looked run down, the chandeliers, plants, wooden furniture, and Latin music made the space cozy. There was construction going on right outside, but the noise wasn't too noticeable. I saw a stack of boxes behind the register from Starter Bakery, so they probably source most (if not all) their pastries from there. There was a short line but it moved quickly and it didn't take long for me to receive my latte. Throughout the time I was there, there was a steady line of customers so it seemed like a local favorite. I ordered a small Horchata Latte with whole milk ($5.25). I asked the cashier, and he said it was on the sweeter side. He suggested 50% sweetness, which I went with. +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Not too sweet: Creamy and nutty w/cinnamon -Espresso could be stronger. -All drinks served in paper to-go cups with paper sleeves: Ceramic mugs would be a great option for people who want to stay. -No latte art Side notes: 1.) Restrooms available for customers. 2.) Outlets available 3.) Self-serve napkins and condiments 4.) Across the street from Uptown Transit Center Verdict: 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 d/t service. The cashier with a man bun was really friendly. Since the menu is just a placard next the cashier, you can't see it unless if you're there. He didn't rush anyone and told them to take their time. In addition, he asked if it was my first time (it was), offered recommendations, and thanked me after I ordered. Even though it's not the best horchata latte I've had (my fave one is in Berkeley), the friendly service and cozy vibes make me want to return the next time I'm in the area! read more

I recently started working down the street and am trying to find a solid coffee spot. I stopped in on a Thursday morning and was pleased to see it was poppin'. It's not quiet, so I wouldn't recommend coming here for focus work, but there's lots of seating and a few communal tables that were being used. They have a large drink menu and I got the horchata latte and two pastries. I think I would have loved the pastries warmed up, so that's my fault for saying no, but they were flavorful room temp. And I really liked the horchata latte. Prices were reasonable and I'll definitely be back! read more

Tierra Mia is one of the best places to get your coffee fix! Everything here is so good including the pastries! My go-to is usually and iced vanilla coffee which is super smooth and tasty or a matcha latte! Ther service is super quick. You can mobile order for an on-the-go experience, but it does definitely get busy around lunch time! However I've never had any complaints with coming here. The ambiance is great! The interior is really chic and clean, with a good amount of space to sit- to work, have a chat, etc! Honestly love it here! read more

Been coming here for years and they've always provided top of the line products and service that makes you want to come back for more. The Horchata Frappe tends to be their staple and the main reason my friends and I have continued to return here for nearly a decade. They also serve other coffee options and also pastries that are fresh and delivered to them daily. Environment wise this is a great location to meet others, do desk work, study, or just relax, on any given day. Parking can be an issue depending on the day and time, but regardless, it's always been worth dealing with the hassle. I will continue to come here, and I have no intention of ever stopping. 5/5. read more

Wow! Tierra Mia has always been in my bookmarks and I had a chance to stop by on a weekday morning. Very conveniently placed in downtown and near BART, it's easily accessible. Additionally there are a few parking spots in front that you can park in. Ambience was spacious, seems like people come here to work or chat, it was clean and a bit busy in the morning. Service was fine, they got my drink right which is a win! lol, but the real star of the show was their Horchata latte, omg!!! This is easily the best latte I've had in a long time. I did have to add an extra shot and oat milk, but those adjustments made this one of the best drinks I've had. As a coffee enthusiast, I don't love milky coffees which is why I added a shot, this made the drink perfectly balanced with the right touch of sweetness. I will happily come here again and I can't wait until the next time I do! read more

Just tried Tierra Mia for the first time and it was very very good. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The service was fast and they made my order right after I ordered it. I tried a Vanilla Latte here and Omg it was so delicious. The building it was in looks kinda old school and it was kinda quiet when I went in and there was quite a few seats available to sit in. This place is right across the street from the 19th Street BART station entrance and I highly recommend trying this place out. I will have to come here again soon to try another drink they have on the menu! read more

It's rare for me to go to a new coffee shop and be wowed by the drinks, but Tierra Mia coffee is really dang good. The coffee is super flavorful and full-bodied, not watery at all like other places. I got the caramel frappe because I was craving something sweet and it was really delicious. Full of deep coffee flavor but also creamy and sweet, but not tooth achingly so. I would say the downsides are that the inside can get pretty busy and dirty at times and the service can be slow on weekends. Totally understandable because this place can get super busy. If you come on a weekend, just be prepared for a 20ish minute wait after your order. read more

Tierra Mia is my go to meeting spot for friends and such. I love their location- parking is usually a breeze and in a very walkable central part of downtown Oakland. Their horchata latte is my go to but their teas are a hit too! I'm not too much of a coffee drinker so I can't give a review there. Always love their fire playlists (reggeaton/Bad Bunny the last few times I've been there). Great vibe overall! read more

My experience here was very unpleasant. On Wednesday, September 17th at 10:50am I ordered a iced matcha horchata latte. There was no line, but when I received my drink, it was strawberry. I politely asked the barista if it had strawberry in it (I almost stayed quiet since I'm introverted), and after mentioning that I had actually ordered horchata, the cashier came over with a very hostile attitude to insist that I had said strawberry. That made me second-guess myself for a moment, but I know exactly what I ordered -- I even came because of specific reviews recommending that flavor. Instead of simply remaking the drink or even refusing to change it, the cashier chose to gaslight me with a rude attitude and unfriendly demeanor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It made me feel so uncomfortable that I had to leave the shop immediately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A simple "we can fix it" or even "sorry, we can't change it" would have been enough. But the way I was treated was unnecessarily hostile and disrespectful. I will definitely not be coming back. read more

I don't see what the hype is about there coffee isn't even better than Peet's or Starbucks. There coffee actually doesn't taste good .

My first review in a long while. I've been here a couple dozen times over the past six years. More often lately since I moved nearby and like to come here sometimes after walking the lake. Here is a breakdown of the four drinks I remember getting: 1) horchata frappucino - my favorite and go-to most times, though it probably has a lot of calories. Around $5.75 for a small (that may be with tip), it's flavor & texture perfection. With or without whipped cream, it's delicious. I once asked the cashier what their most popular and ordered drink is, and they said this one. 2) iced great tea - a personal favorite anywhere I go. I get it unsweetened & it has one of the best flavors of any I've gotten anywhere. 3) lemonade - usually a fan of it, but it was way too sweet when I tried it here, but that's probably how most prefer it 4) small plain black coffee - too sweet and perfumy for me, but I'm not supposed to really have coffee anyway. Wouldn't get it again. Personally, I'd stick to #1 and #2 above (jmo) and any variation of the horchata... latte, creme, all good Music is always nice, mellow, and not TOO loud, though personally I'd put it down a little, but that may be me or my age or sound sensitivity. Sometimes, it's a slightly club feel. Pastries are always good and fresh..I've only tried a few times. Cream cheese apricot Danish is excellent and the spinach croissant, too. I heard they bake them here. Seating is pleasant, and they set up the tables nicely. The place looks small and is usually pretty busy, but there is usually plenty of seating. They give some space, so you're not on top of the next table. They do close pretty early during the week..5pm.. but a lot of weekday business is prob from local workers and businesses, so that makes sense. More than a few coworkers rave about and frequent this place. The artwork is also very nice. Giant-sized photos of the coffee, coffee growers, and pickers..their roots - a nice touch. This is a chain without a chain feel. I've been sitting here a good 20-30 minutes, and nobody eyeballs or pressures you to get out (unless it's close to 5 pm on a weekday). The clients on the weekend are a mix of seems to be visitors (BART is nearby), locals, and students + workers on their laptops. Idk if they have wifi, but I never brought work here. I'd recommend a stop here if passing through. It's nice, friendly, and clean. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A very cute and unique coffee shop with plenty of seatings![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the strawberry matcha latte and the strawberry adds a great balance to the earthiness of the matcha. They also have milk alternatives so if you're lactose intolerant, you're covered!

Came in at 11A on a Friday since my mom wanted a coffee and we were nearby. It was fairly quiet during this time and I noticed that there were a lot of staff which shows that they're covered even if it gets busy! I ordered 2 small coffees and they were ready pretty quickly. I got an iced horchata latte which was really good. Only thing that sucks is the location since it's on a busy street and there's never parking nearby. read more
