I ordered in October 2023. Since then, I have called 4 times and have written 3 emails. Now it's April 2024, I still couldn't get any response. Never received my order or any order update. I understand that they were going through some difficulties last year. Not sure if this business is still in operation.

Their coffee used to be great. But it would seem they are out of business without taking down the shop. Ordered coffee a month and a half ago and never received anything. Contacted the company through every contact possible (email, phone, social media, PayPal) with no response. Currently awaiting PayPal to refund the dispute. This is highly irresponsible behavior for a company to leave a shop up, collect money and no longer operate a viable business. I will attempt to let coffee review know so people don’t read their review and try to order.

Coffee tastes terrible, somehow they extracted only the bitterness from the coffee and not much else. On top of that, it's $5 for an iced coffee, and the cup they put it in was dented so that when I put it down on a table, it just spilled all over.

Ordered coffee more than 2 weeks ago and have not received any confirmation of my order and have not received my coffee. I've emailed and called the business multiple times but have not received a response despite my credit card being charged.

Great local coffee. I enjoyed their coffee when they pop up at the my local farmer's market in Castro Valley every Saturday. Taste fresh and gets me through my farmer's market shopping with my two toddlers in tow. Met the owner, James and he was super friendly.

Disgusting and a very mean staf

A hidden gem along the 18 bus route, this is the perfect spot to grab a morning coffee on the way to the BART. Their salted vanilla vegan donuts are slammin'-crisp on the outside, soft in the middle. Love that their coffees are so well-balanced they can be enjoyed without cream or sugar, but if you like things on the sweeter side the Uncle Iroh is worth a try-it's like a coffee milkshake had a baby with an Italian soda!

Killer craft coffee and freshly made donuts, how can anyone compete!

Love Rhetoric Coffee. Favorite espresso pulls in the East Bay + the open space of Arthur Macs to sit and enjoy in is a luxury. And they have kachapuri!
Timothy Hoffelder
Rhetoric Coffee has delicious and strong brews! Had them during the morning shift at Arthur Mac's. Also made me and my crew feel safe from the jump, their staff is the most inclusive and understanding.

The best. Wonderful humans selling excellent coffee beans and the best drip+pulled coffee drinks in north Oakland. So lucky to have them in the neighborhood!The breakfast snacks - khachapuri (an egg+cheese bread from the Caucuses), fried-to-order donuts, hash browns - are all excellent too.There's lots of patio seating, which makes it a nice place to hang on a warm morning.Heads up: they're located inside Arthur Mac's as a sort of pop up, and just operate in the mornings before Arthur Mac's opens. Not an all day affair.
