Jaffa Coffee Roasters is an absolute must if you visit the East Bay.
They have something for everybody. Of course, they're famous for their Jaffa Orange latte, but as a non-coffee and minimal-caffeine drinker I was so happy to see they had teas and their Winter Warmers right now. I went with their Spiced apple cider (SO delightful, hot, and warmed my heart and cold hands). They also had a cranberry juice based tart winter warmer as well as a citrus one, but I was really glad I went with their hot apple cider. And all had no caffeine!
The interior is absolutely jaw-dropping bright, welcoming, and elevated. LOVE the gorgeous Palestinian surfboard yeeeeew! And they have so much seating, you can pick a window-facing table for a quiet chat with your friends, or use one of the many table to plug in and do some work. Saw some people doing work on their laptops and some students studying. It has such a great space and lovely energy for everybody. The Jaffa orange wall mural is absolutely insane. I couldn't stop staring at it.
Definitely one of my top 3 cafes to recommend to visitors or tourists when they're looking for a solid cafe spot with seating. Coming back again with friends obviously. No outdoor seating nor does it look very dog-friendly inside, but I'm sure that could easily be changed if they choose to invest in outdoor spots since they're on the corner of the street. PS street parking was free too! read more
