I bet other Yelper's will relate to the following: this is my go to, local spot for iced matcha and coffee beans. Here's the thing; I've never reviewed it! Why? I don't know. Today's the day! I love this place! It's a short walk from my place and was one of the first places I started to frequent when I moved here almost two years ago. The staff's great. I always enjoy the music they play. There's plenty of seating. All of their food/baked goods are made in house. All their offerings are high quality. It's a dairy free establishment. Neither here nor there for me, as I drink a variety of different milks. I'm very fortunate to have this option in my neighborhood. read more

I've been here a few times at the Piedmont location, and it's become one of my favorite spots. They have great vegan options, especially for breakfast and pastries, which can be hard to find. Today, I ordered the cardamom vanilla latte and asked for it to be less sweet, it was perfect. My partner got the pistachio latte and absolutely loved it. This is a staple spot for us, with excellent options for both vegans and non-vegans alike. read more

This was an Amazing stop, Sunday morning before the Black Joy Parade! Good variety of vegan baked goods and helpful staff. Nice sitting area and only a few blocks from Lake Merritt and BART. A great spot in Oakland. read more

I know a good creamy Matcha color when I see one! My Matcha - regular with almond milk and a little bit of agave was excellent. The size is a little smaller than I'd like but maybe that's what makes it so good - the perfect amount of ingredients for the size that it is. The person who took my order was also very sweet. I love when people make you feel so understood about how particular you are about the taste of your drink. I would love to come back here next time I'm in town! read more

I went here on a Sunday morning and it was fairly busy but I was able to enjoy my pizza roll (not pictured) and matcha for a little bit before it got busy. The matcha was good but I favored the pizza roll. I wasn't sure what to expect since it is a rare pastry but I'm already excited to try it again. I will mention that I'm not a matcha snob but I wouldn't mind getting it their matcha again - though I am biased to their mocha Something I really enjoyed was their fall decoration, it was very comforting read more

Timeless Coffee - Iced Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

My go-to place when I need a mid-work-day slump buster. It doesn't hurt that all their pastries and lunch options are plant based. I'll occasionally grab a bag of beans or two as well, as a strict 3rd wave coffee snob, I'm happy to have a consistent supply of fresh light roasted beans nearby. I don't ALWAYS buy zingy fruit forward Ethiopian beans for my home supply, but it's nice to know they're there. That said, since I trust their light roasts, I'm willing to try and enjoy their medium to dark roasts as well. Full bodied, without the charcoal note certain 2nd wave coffee chains turned union busting megacorps can't shake. It took an embarrassingly long time for my aging alternative rock addled millennial brain to realize their Dark Sails roast is an AFI reference, both in name and color scheme. Good dark roasted beans that satisfy my snobbery and won't alienate your normie grocery store coffee drinking family. read more

I got an espresso and an oat milk macchiato. The espresso was a dark roast, which I really appreciated because most shops that roast in the area do light to medium roast. The result was a full bodied, creamy and layers shot with light acidity balanced with and mild sweetness / notes of fruit. 4/5 Oat milk complemented the espresso well in the macchiato. Added texture without overpowering the flavor. 4/5. read more

I had the pineapple upside down cake today and loved it. It hit the nostalgic spot from my childhood. It was well done. The whipped cream in the center and maybe the last 25% of it was where I started losing enjoyment so would be a great dessert to share with someone else since it's a lot of sweetness for just one. I also tried the iced strawberry matcha latte today and it's a nice change of pace but sadly both the regular matcha latte, hot or cold, and this don't make my list of top places to get matcha in Oakland or the Bay Area. If I'm coming to Timeless, I'm coming for the pastries, baked goods, and food, over the drinks personally. Regardless, Timeless continues to be one of my most favorite spots given its wonderful collection of vegan offerings and I will continue to recommend. read more

Came here on a Friday morning to chill and it was a vibe. The staff is very friendly and respectful. They were able to help me have a smooth experience. They recommended many options to me, to satisfy what I was craving. It's quiet and the perfect place to chat, hangout, or study/read. I will definitely be coming back! read more

This is a great neighborhood coffee spot. The coffee is really good, and it doesn't have an overly takeout-ish culture (a fair number of customers have their coffees in ceramic mugs). There's a good amount of indoor seating, and the cafe is spacious, so if there are a lot of people lined up to get coffee to go, the people seated at the tables aren't going to get super claustrophobic. Some of the tables are super big as well, so it's a good spot for folks to meet to work on shared projects where they need some table space to lay things out. But they don't have wifi, so bring your hotspot. read more

Absolutely the rudest people who I've ever had the displeasure of being served by in my entire life. It really made me sad to be treated in such a way. How to survive ordering at Timeless: Do not make eye contact, do not say "hi" or "how are you?" Just clearly state your order and pay. Wait til your called and leave promptly. Do not make eye contact with the crust punk person. Go home and cry on your delicious breakfast sandwich. read more

After reading a few other reviews about this place I know it's not just me. While I like some of their products, the customer service is definitely off especially from the standpoint of exhibiting micro aggressions. For example, in many of my times going there, I've noticed that upon approaching the counter the staff typically have ignored me and continue on talking to each other as well as even giving me glances yet not doing anything. After waiting for some time they then approach. With that, there's one particular man there who purposely would place my purchased item on the counter despite the fact that my hand was clearly reached out to retrieve it from him. He also gives me an awkward look whenever he does this. It's interesting to me as these same ones have the aesthetic of being "open minded/cultured" and "liberal" yet on the inside they're nothing more than covert bigots (likely transplants from some bumpkin states and towns). My thing is if you don't like dealing with certain demographics of people then Oakland is clearly not for you. Try Dixon or Yuba City or some place like that where you can embrace that special brand of hatred. Wearing doc martens, tattoos, hipster haircuts, and piercings instead of a pillow case on one's head doesn't hide their bigotry. The costume isn't fooling anyone. It doesn't fit here in Oakland. Definitely not giving my dollar nor support to this business anymore. read more

My go tos are the matcha latte, apple and cherry pastries, and the hot tea selection. Staff is always kind and sweet! I swear they only hire cool people, lol. It's a great place to journal and catch up with myself and on some work. Although I wish there were more plugs! Vibes are great regardless. Not vegan anymore but loveeee not having to worry about dairy for my tummy's sake read more

Pastries are usually pretty tasty here. The drinks are hit or miss but usually good. Cherry cheesecake 7/10 (crust was not good) Snickerdoodle 10/10 (super soft) Americano 6/10 (burnt) Hot cocoa 9/10 (not too sweet) read more

The pastries here are a highlight, the rainbow sprinkle donuts are always fresh and delicious. The coffee runs on the stronger side, which may not be for everyone. The beans were a letdown though; they tasted flat and looked past their prime. read more

Tried 5 different cakes with a group: tiramisu, pumpkin cheesecake, raspberry cheesecake, caramel apple, and birthday cake. They were all yummy and the group enjoyed them. Can't even tell they are vegan. The staff were friendly and helpful with quick service. read more

My favorite place for vegan sweets in all of Bay Area. I've been allergic to dairy my entire life and the cake slices here are just unreal (best vegan cakes I've ever tasted). My non vegan friends also really love the desserts! Out of pastries, really love the almond croissant! Have also tried: strawberry cheesecake, tiramisu cake, vanilla latte read more

My husband (coffee snob) loves this place. We have been to both locations and came here so I could work on my novel while he takes photos nearby but as a not coffee drinker my $7 matcha was a flop. The seats are uncomfortable, though the space is nice. There is also no WiFi. Luckily I don't *need* WiFi to work but I just wish places shared candidly when they don't have WiFi bc I feel many people do come to cafes to work. It's vegan so the milk options are oat, almond, and soy. I wanted to taste the matcha so I got soy but it does taste watery and wasn't sweet to my personal liking. Again my husband loves this place so it's a 4 bc of him but for me the matcha is a 3 if not 2 star drink. read more

I saw that they are offering a limited time drink, the pistachio cream latte, so decided to give it a try. It was $7 before tip, which I feel is very expensive relative to the quantity. The drink wa ready within a few minutes. It tastes more sweet like pistachio ice cream or gelato flavor, not so much like raw pistachios. I did like it, and thought it was nice that it didn't just taste like coffee (i.e. they actually did flavor it well). The only reason I am taking off a star is because I still find it too pricey relative to quantity. There's some indoor seating in the shop and some people were working there on their laptops, as I had come in on Tuesday around lunch hour. They do sell pastries as well. read more

Cannot say anything bad about this place. Its a huge relief that i can honestly trust a bartisa to make a vegan latte. Every time I am in easy bay i would make a stop. I wish they expand to south bay. I would literally be there 5 out 7 days a week. read more

Located in downtown Oakland close to Harrison is this coffee shop/cafe. It's pretty large on the inside; they have your regular cafe menu as well as tons of treats and desserts that looked so good! We parked in the apartment complex across the street but there is street parking. Lots of places to sit, study, or work. My friend got their golden milk latte which had turmeric in it. It sounded a little different and my friend thought it was ok. They also had a lot of plant based options and with their desserts and drinks! read more

Dope coffee shop in downtown Oakland. Baked goods are delicious and the ice cold brew is good and strong. Tried the donuts and can't go wrong with any of them but the pumpkin donut is "festivally delicious" as someone would say lol. I just drink cold brews and this spot has a good strong cold brew. The way I like it, not watered down or anything. Overall can't go wrong here. Good food and coffee, friendly staff, and a dope ambience. Parking is kinda tough but not too bad. read more

My wife loves Timeless. I appreciate how they have multiple locations now but note that this location may not have what you're looking for. Been here multiple times and they never have Twinkies. So those are hit and miss ! First time trying the Samoa donut, and it does not taste like a donut whatsoever! Tasted like a chocolate cake with coconut flakes and chocolate drizzled on top. The texture also crumbles like a cake so you can't hold it like a donut to eat. Birthday cake - really good and moist Tiramisu - love tiramisu and love cake but timeless just didn't get this one right. It doesn't make you want to go for another bite. My wife looks forward to trying something different each time we're in town. read more

I ordered a mocha, it has a unique taste, not too sweet, nice balance between chocolate and coffee. Staff were nice nothing stands out. I didn't like the vibe.. seating wise, there's nothing special about this place. No reason to come back again to visit. I wouldn't come back again for the mocha or the location itself. Not a good place to work on laptop, no wifi and no outlets. read more

A little pricey but solid plant-based coffee shop. I ordered a decaf pumpkin spiced latte (because it's that time of year - so why not) and it was one of the best I've had. Subtly sweet (not like the 42g of sugar in the Starbucks' PSL...) and did not notice the lack of dairy milk. Fun vibe, friendly staff and lots of seating to hang out and enjoy your coffee. Good selection of vegan pastries though, albeit expensive. read more

A favorite to add to my running list of go-to coffee shops. Lots of natural lighting, great atmosphere, and overall good vibes with good coffee. They have a vast selection of pastries for breakfast and for a quick snack, which I have yet to try. I also can't wait to try more of the other drinks on their menu! My favorites are their iced timeless (vanilla cold brew) and matcha latte. Both really hit the spot to start my morning or for an afternoon pick-me-up if I need the extra energy. I also like how they aren't too sweet but still have the right amount of sweetness so it isn't too bitter or watered down. No wifi or outlets around unfortunately, but this won't stop me from bringing my laptop around to get some work done. read more

Nice ambience. Leisurely feel on a holiday. Variety of vegan desserts and drinks. We came here based on a friend's recco. Not disappointed with the selection. This is certainly a better alternative to s'bucks. Drink prices are reasonable. The reception at the counter was a bit cold though. The menu more than compensated for that, I am not complaining Thanks to the team at this facility for the thoughtful selection. read more

Good coffee. They sell beans, if you want to pay an enormous markup ($23-25 for a bag you could pay $16 for elsewhere). If you can't eat wheat, there's almost nothing here for you. read more

My go-to location for Timeless is the collage ave one bc of the crew working and the vibe...but this morning I went to the new-new in jack london and loved it! I had a tasty blueberry scone (not too big, not too small) which was super fresh and deelish, accompanied by a *long black "long shot of espresso or lungo in Italian" for those reading who don't know coffee... Timeless is bomb. I got to try the matcha next time... my favorite is the chocolate or maple Donut though, you can't go wrong! What you need To do: 1. Go to jack london Sq. 2. Order coffee and a pastry @Timeless 3. Take a nice walk along the waterfront, sipping timeless coffee with a Yummy pastry! (that's vegan and the entire facility is dairy free btw). You'll be happy! read more

Timeless Coffee - Ello! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Timeless Coffee is a welcomed addition to the offerings in Jack London Square. They replaced the French bakery Miette but offers much of the charm and appeal that the predecessors had in their own vibe. My taste buds highly value their espresso and drink menu. As others have mentioned, it may be the best coffee around the area. I also enjoy that they do not have added sugar in their Matcha mix, which is the traditional way to enjoy the Matcha lattes. Adjust sweetness to your liking with the little counter with sugar tubes. They also have a large selection of different pastries and treats. My favorite would have to be the savory pastries that they offer. With such a large selection, I need to return back to try the rest of their items. When it comes to sweets, I have tried their Black Magic Cake. It was strangely not moist but not exactly dry. The chocolate had a bit more cocoa than I preferred but wasn't rich. Not entire the biggest fan of it. I do, however; appreciate that they have slices of all their cake options, so you can sample before committing to an entire cake (like for an event). The people are friendly but don't up-play their enthusiasm to boost customer service. (they are also now open until 3pm, which is great to combat the afternoon slump). read more

The food is amazing. I love the laidback vibe. This one is a repeat. Staff is great too. Love the outdoors seating there.

I really love timeless and have been a customer for several years now. Unfortunately after they opened multiple locations I have definitely noticed a dip in the quality- which is a common occurrence in situations like these. I wish they would have at least stuck with their old grab-and-go sandwiches, because these new ones are such a downgrade!!! This new "hoagie bread" is so so bad, it lacks flavor and texture, and the sandwiches are always sooo soggy now. No one wants to spend 14 on extremely wet bread :/ That being said I still love this place, but wish they went back to their old sandwiches on the baguettes read more
