Coffee Shops near El Sobrante

“Good donuts for good prices + coffee is nice. Come here anytime we do laundry and the lady is nice. If you are paying below ten bucks, it is cash only I think, but they have an ATM in here and the takeout nextdoor is cash only so it works. Lady is nice and gives us extra sometimes.“

“This is a very cute and loved (family owned?) Cafe. They have good coffee, and probably 15 kinds of homemade Turkish delights. Absolutely worth a try, as well as their other sweets.This place really feels well loved by the owners, and the care they took to decorate it and create an ambiance is really impressive (even if Pink is not your color).Pro tip: ask them to make you a Rose Matcha Latte. It's not officially on the menu but delicious“

“i tried cafe hopping and this place really hit the spot! there is free wifi, but im not sure if there's any outlets so come with your devices fully charged. i ordered the matcha bliss which came out perfectly and quick. if you like your matchas sweet, then this is the place to go. the menus tell you what's in the drink too, so ur not left wondering what's in it. i would definitely come back here again to study! not too packed and quiet environment“

“Such an amazing unassuming bakery full of delicious decadence. All the French and Algerian pastries are so beautiful but the flavor of the Turkish delights are beyond good!! The chai latte was the best I've had and the Turkish coffee is strong and good. If you're in the area I definitely recommended supporting this family run small business.“

“Some of the best coffee within a mile or so and definitely a nice hidden quiet but small spot to sit away from the bustle. They’re almond cookies are a great gluten free option. But everything else is amazing as well.A small business with a talented baker, not just another chain. Come support them!Don’t know why it doesn’t pop up on Google when you search for “coffee shops” near by though. Strange.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free option“

“Very impressed with their tiny breakfast burrito - had the chorizo and veggie versions on a recent visit. Couldn't taste as much of the chorizo as other places, so maybe they could add a little more for a better flavor kick? Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and WOC-owned...look forward to trying more of their menu. Support this small business if you're in the neighborhood!“

“I was killing time in the neighborhood, so decided to try Jerusalem coffee. I ordered a orange blossom latte. I really like it. I had to go with whole milk, but the flavor was very good. Could definitely taste the orange blossom. Unfortunately, they don't have decaf so I had to take a chance. he did offer me a single shot, I like my coffee strong. The service was good. The ambience is casual.“

“Boichik is a weekly favorite of mine. You can't go wrong with your choice of bagel, although pumpernickel caraway salt is currently my top choice. The coffee's good too, hot or iced. On top of everything, everyone who works there is super, super nice. SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to Lisa! She always makes my day and never fails to brighten up the room :)Last thing to keep in mind for the uninitiated: there's limited seating (especially when it's raining -- there are just 4 tables inside) and the bagels tend to get sold out before 11:30-12 on the weekend.Vegetarian options: They have vegan cream cheese (plain, strawberry, or chive) and several of their bagels are inherently vegan. Vegan creamer is available as well.“

“This coffee cart is literally on the water and is my main motivator to get out for a walk around the marina on the weekends. The owner is really kind and easy to chat with. He's clearly knowledgeable about coffee and passionate about connecting with his customers. I am so grateful to have good coffee in a place that gets me outside!!“

“Hidden Cafe can try to hide, but I find it every time. I'm glad their employees don't hide, even though I do love playing hide & seek. I don't think I would enjoy it as much if the only way I could get my coffee from here is by finding the hidden employees at hidden cafe. Trying to find a barista to order coffee, before I've had coffee, sounds daunting. Although, it would make that cup of joe so much more rewarding. Honestly, if the employees did start hiding, I'd still go here. That's how good their coffee and carrot cake is and how confident I am in my seeking abilities. Luckily, this is something I haven't had to face. All the employees here are extremely friendly and very easy to find. I'm happy that Hidden Cafe is not good enough at hiding to the point where it would run itself out of business. I love going here!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE. The BESTTTT hot chocolate in all of Berkeley and can confidently say that I've had in my life. I've been going here for probably 3 years when I need a pick me up or craving chocolate and have never been disappointed. I've tried their hot chocolates, their coffees (the mocha is amazing), their pastries, you literally cannot go wrong. Everyone there is so sweet, have never had a bad experience. It's really small inside, always pretty crowded with people studying or reading. It's a bit of a hike from campus but worth it.“

“Great customer service! I like the different options of donut flavors such as horchata, pistachio, and ube. Wish they had more vegan or even gluten free options. If they offered mochi donuts (rice is gluten free/friendly) that would make this place a one stop shop.“

“I absolutely love this place! The staff are so kind and friendly, excellent capuccinos (no sizes -- the correct way to make them), it's in one of my favorite nurserys and also has cute tables in the garden if you want to sit. I also think the pastry selection is spot on.“

“This time i tried the rich and roasty latte with espresso cream. It's amazing. I also got the banana bread pudding. Omg it's so sinful! I'm amazed at how fast they make the matcha drinks, since they're more complicated than coffee.“

“I had a great time and so did my guest ,we are planning to do a 1year anniversary with vendors next time,many people ask for the number to call to book there own events ? I was very happy will the overall quick action and timely responses from Adam and other staff members, all arrangements and rerangements were on point .Thank you ? see you soon“

“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.“

“The kouign-Aman and croissants were the very best pastry I have ever had from Starter Bakery. I am from Eugene Oregon and would drive back down to Berkley/Oakland area for this pastry any day! The bread is amazing as well... Well done Starter Bakery! B"“

“This place is such a vibe! I came here after a quick hike in the Berkeley Hills and needed a pick me up.Cute puff seatingGreat musicAwesome drinksCalm and inviting vibesintimate shopI had the matcha latte and it was tasty with high quality matcha.“

“Like many place in this part of the strip - a totally understated gem. The coffee was excellent, the staff friendly, super clean place where it’s pleasant to sit.I just wish the advertising was more prominent. It took me too long to find.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes - elevator behind their second door“

“If you are going to LabCorp on Solano and you have to fast, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping into this place to get a breakfast sammy after your blood draw is over. Friendly service, no wait, and a tasty egg sandwich at a reasonable price. I've been shopping and dining on Solano since I was a teenager and I had never clocked this place, but I am so glad I did. Just me, a quiet magazine, breakfast, and glad to be done with my blood draw. The perfect combo. Thanks for the great sandwich!“

“What a lovely cafe to enjoy. Small and quiet. Great food. Enjoyed our breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon was sooo good. The eggs, potatoes and bacon were perfect. Coffee is outstanding. Has great garden seating or inside table seating. Friends have said lunch is great too. We will return.“

“I'd been curious about this place for years, super cute looking. The Orange Blossom Latte was so delicious and smooth and I was able to order it dairy free (with oat milk- best brand of oat milk too) which was perfect for my gut. The atmosphere is perfect for a date, catching up with a friend, getting some work done, or just sitting with a drink. Very pleasant and friendly staff and they were fast too. Definitely will want to come back.“

“Very good coffee, nothing fancy. Very good food options (I usually get the shihan ful). Hangout for a portion of the local Eritrean community. Very friendly place.Dietary restrictions: I've gone with a friend who has a serious food allergy. They were great about accommodating.“

“Love this place so much. My favorite cafe. They have so many yummy options so they're great for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Every drink I've tried has been delicious. And the employees are so nice, they usually remember my favorite orders and are always upbeat.Plus, if I don't hear them call my drink, or they can tell I'm working, they'll bring it to my table. Usually you have to go get the drink from the counter so I appreciate them taking the extra time when I'm distracted.Lots of outlets and different seating. Great for working or bringing friends. Just all around great!“

“Good atmosphere and good chicken pesto panini. If they had blended coffee drinks with a silent blender, it would be much better. But still worth itParking: Not a lot of parking options. The city will soon remove most nearby parking in the area so they can put up some cement dividers. Soon you will only be able to walk/bike there.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, accessible.“

“Nick’s Pizza is my favorite pizza in all of the Bay Area. Their pastries and bread and sandwiches are great as well. Their classics are amazing, but I have to go at least monthly just to try the seasonal options. Whenever I want pizza, Nick’s is the go-to!“

“I've always enjoyed the service and coffee here! Sandwiches are pricey but so good so I still get them. I'm not sure how often they do this but I bought a bag of coffee and got a drink for free once and that was nice. It's very open and roomy so plenty of space to do some work. Big windows to let light in and parking was too hard to find.“

“Soft music unlike many places. Attentive but not overdone service (noticed my partner looking around and asked if we wanted anything else). Vegan panini was good and even came with a little potato salad. Nice to support a small business since it's tough running a small business.“

“Hizcafe provides a truly enchanting experience, combining a picturesque setting with a diverse and flavorful menu. Nestled by the bay, the outdoor seating offers breathtaking water views, creating a serene ambiance for patrons to enjoy.The star of the culinary show at Hizcafe is undoubtedly the extensive selection of empanadas. With over ten varieties to choose from, including options like beef, chicken, chorizo, ham with cheese, and even breakfast, the menu caters to a wide range of tastes. The addition of unique offerings like apple and mushroom empanadas adds a delightful twist to the traditional options.The coffee selection at Hizcafe is equally impressive, featuring classic delights such as cappuccino, latte, Americano, and espresso. For those who prefer a colder indulgence, there are iced coffee and ice teas to complement the warm, inviting atmosphere. The latte Macchiato and hot chocolate add an extra layer of indulgence to the beverage options.Beyond empanadas and coffee, Hizcafe goes the extra mile with a selection of tasty sandwiches, providing a well-rounded culinary experience. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the combination of delectable food and stunning views makes Hizcafe an ideal destination for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.“

“The BEST coffee I've ever had outside of Italy. A variety of rich, complex, nuanced roasts, plus a strong freshly brewed cup in-store. I have loved and been loyal to them since 1988 (formerly Royal, where the kind owner Michael was a baristo)“

“Last night, my daughter and my wife and I decided to treat ourselves to a really nice dessert after dinner we decided to go again to happy donut. We have our faves there. I decided to treat everyone and my choice was I have to say that they make the best apple fritter anywhere and having a cuppa coffee in the morning may sound like a bit of a sugar overload but it's my happy place . we didn't stop there. I also bought regular donuts bars and cream puffs and you just get started. You can't stop.. It's locally owned and operated and the quality always seems to be there and they seem to be sold out if you go there too late of all the faves that everyone likes so it's a pretty popular place for people to show up . Fortunately we got everything we wanted and we're very happy.“

“Just came back from a trip to Europe where a cappuccino runs you about $3 usd! That’s for a nice one. But this place is really good! Makes it worth the $8 b/c it takes you half way around the world, such good coffee. Espresso was exactly as it should be.“

“This cafe is a great place to study because of its wonderful atmosphere. Drinks are also pretty good, as are pastries.However, what truly makes Cafe 1951 stand out is its incredible employees! They are extremely kind and friendly, making this a great cafe experience. Service is also quick.“

“Stopped for breakfast one morning; what a delight! Tasty filling on a scrumptious bagel. The sight of all the donuts and pastries had us vowing to return. Which we did, scoring a box of various donuts and pastries and the biggest croissants I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth a return visit.“

“I got the strawberry black tea with cheese foam, grass jelly, and boba at 25% sweetness.The sweetness ratio was perfect! The boba was a tiny bit al dente but everything else was excellent. If you’re a fan of Pokémon and collectibles, they sell that as well.“

“Hal's Office Coffee is an absolute gem nestled in Albany, California. From the moment you step in, you're enveloped in the warm, inviting vibes that make it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up on work. The cappuccino here is a true work of art, crafted with precision and care, boasting a rich, velvety texture and a bold espresso kick that's simply divine. But what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service provided by the friendly and knowledgeable baristas who always go above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a cozy spot to relax, this is your place to come visit!“

“Love this place! Thankfully they have outdoor seating on the sidewalk -- not in the street. Plus, there are roll down plastic wind screens. The desserts were down right terrific. We enjoyed two Bingsoo, and a Thai tea crepe cake for four of us. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back.“

“First time here and I tried Gunther's for the first time! Refreshing, delicious, and filling! We got pineapple freeze at the bottom, vanilla ice cream, and guava freeze on top. Super cute shop and casual. Great service and great intro to Benicia. Excited to try more of the menu!“

“I wish I could give more than five stars. I reached out to Tonya to see if we could get pizza making lessons with a small group of friends (because the pizza at Anaviv's Table is so good). Tonya was enthusiastic and flexible about helping me set up the event.The event was run by Darren with help from Siyoon. Darren was patient, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. He guided us through every step of the process, giving us tips and tricks along the way, and by the end we had both a lot of pizzas to enjoy right then and plenty of dough to bring home to make more ourselves. Siyoon helped everything run smoothly so that we could all have a good time, and as a parting gift, gave us each a saffron lemon bar to take home with us.My wife and I have always enjoyed visiting Anaviv's Table in all of its incarnations. We're excited about how they continue to grow, and just so impressed by everyone on their staff.Thank you!“

“I stopped in for a coffee got an apple pie empanada and was swayed to get a dulce de leche bar while I was at it. Both were delicious. The place smells great when you walk inside. The sign painting outside is incredible. Can't wait to come back and try all the empanadas.“

“Omg what can I say about this delightful spot on Solano. Love the beverages. I tried their Oolong Latte and oh my stars, how divine ✨️. My awesome gal pal had the Ube Latte and that was so divine as well.I am looking forward to trying their Matcha Latte next ?“

“I haven't had this place in over 5 years and I'm glad to see they are still up and running. This is the perfect place to study if you're tired of Peet's coffee or Starbucks. The quality of drinks is excellent and the service seems to be run by friendly college students as well. I was rushing to the airport today & Stephen was very kind to finish my drinks in a timely manner. Thank you again Stephen for the great service! Pro tip: order online because it can get super busy during the morning rush.“

“Deliciously fabulous ice cream with excellent service. Everyone is so helpful and very nice. The many delightful and unique flavors of ice cream make it hard to narrow it down to just a couple choices. Next time i return I plan to bring a cooler to carry back my take home ice cream choices in.♡“

“Awesome place to shop! My “go to” produce market for incredibly fresh produce, fruits and dry goods. Great meat and fish market. Superb bakery. Excellent wine shop, And Market Hall pasta shop/main market is simply amazing in SO many ways. Plus, super easy parking and good hours ... important to me and a for real plus. Love this place!!!“

“CoRo is a very unique place. A very nice Cafe with very knowledgeable staff and a coop coffee roasting facility in the back, where you can watch the roasting and processing of the magic beans happen, right before your eyes. The feature some of the unique coffees that are roasted there and offer local baked goods, as well.“

“Great place to grab a bite and get some work done. The Vietnamese iced coffee is good. As is the bahn mi. The place is pretty tiny, so I felt bad camping out on the WiFi, but I got both breakfast and lunch there, and they didn't seem to mind.“

“Love this spot! There’s always a delicious pastry or 3 available, boichik bagels with vegan schmear options, and they had HAND PIES the other day from Edith’s Pie (like a guest pop up situation I’m guessing?) I got the chorizo potato and my spouse ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese. We were both pleased! The staff is always really nice, there’s ample seating inside, a bar area, a back patio, and two or three tables our front.“

“I've eaten their bread and croutons many times, but this is my first visit to the bakery. The public area in the front is rather small. If you're still COVID paranoid, this isn't a good spot. The people working were very nice and helpful. I asked for the sourest bread they had. I thought it was the rustic sour, but no, they recommended the sourdough batard. Bread was excellent, but still not sour enough for me. Then again, nobody makes sourdough sour enough for me.“

“Visited this cozy little cafe at Café Buenos Aires was a revelation!The perfect fusion of Chaga’s earthy richness and Matcha’s vibrant notes created a truly unique and delightful beverage. Nestled in this beautiful unassuming spot, the cafe exudes a warm ambiance that pairs perfectly with their array of drinks and empanadas.The Chaga Matcha Latte stands out as a must-try, showcasing the cafe’s commitment to quality and flavor innovation. A delightful discovery for any matcha enthusiast seeking a cozy retreat in Emeryville!“

“The coffee is good but $6 for a 12oz? (Regular latte with whole milk no syrups). I have been twice and the first time there was a long line out the door and the second time a much shorter line. The coffee is super good and I think it's a great place to go on the weekend and sit outside if it's nice! I don't think it'll be my go to coffee place though because of the price. The scones were also $6 just a little high.“
