Excellent coffee quality with good and freindly service. Nice bakery items. Small space but has outside seating. Closes at 2pm.

Soon good! 1st of all the croissants are delish, from Starter Bakery fresh and soft. My iced latte is perfect, a bit pricey and unfortunately they only have 1 size.

Cute little coffee spot but staff wasn't very chipper the morning I went in. Definitely doesn't make me want to rush back to visit again. Which sucks because I work just a block away. I Tried the honey latte which was tasty!

This is a beautiful coffee shop! Very open and tasteful....though seems to be a trend with really lovely coffee shops placing more emphasis on the ambience than the coffee. They use delicious coffee but I'd say half the time I go there my cup of coffee is brew too weak. At four dollars for a fairly small cup, I think that it could be better.

They had boxes of pastries on the floor! Rude customer service. Closed Berkeley location with zero notice and are horrible to employees. Cutting hours of staff of

Hard to find a cup as good as this one.

I was in the neighborhood in need of some coffee and came across States Coffee. Very small shop that's offers pastries and your basic go-to coffees and teas.I tried their cold brew which was not too strong or bitter and it gave me the boost I needed for the day.The service is very friendly! Would recommend for a quick grab and go coffee.

Terrible location and worse employees to represent States coffee.Customer service certainly needs to be improved here - women working in the a.m. on Thursday, Sept 14th need to check their attitude. You're just serving coffee, not saving the world.Hey Keith, if you're still the owner, probably a good idea to revisit your employees performance since many have commented on their service.

Coffee on point. Great service Love the local community vibe and the small outdoor seating to the side — especially when it is sunny out!
My favorite coffee shop in Oakland! The baristas are always kind and make great drinks.

If you want to go to a place to feel judged, you found the right place. I simply asked for cinnamon to add to the tepid, overpriced cortado, and was answered with a smirk and a curt, "we don't do cinnamon". You also do not do ambience, as the fly infested "porch alley" was filled with other like white hipsterati - evil mom's with overbearing toddlers, and hip daddio lumbersexuals. Pass, please.

Love states love their coffee and pastries. Hated this location. I usually go to the location in Berkeley and I've always had great experiences there but I recent moved to Oakland and went to this location. Let me tell you.. customer service clearly not important. I haven't been at this location before and it look's completely different from the Berkeley one SO I definitely was a little lost. Their counter where you order didn't look like a counter where u order. The girl working this morning on 6/8 wasn't welcoming at all. Not much of a "what can I get for you" and like I'm not asking you to smile or anything I've been a barista (for many years) and I'm not asking for an insane customer service voice but when you can tell somebody isn't in the mood YOU CAN TELL. She was more of a "okay is that all" I can't even tell you word for word how she talked to me and my boyfriend because I was just too taken back by the sour face. Anyways... great coffee but hopefully you don't feel as icky coming out of this place as I did.

Brief Summary:- Coffee is not sour- There are no seats inside, but there are outside benchesThe cafe is along the side of the road, and if I recall there are not much parking.When we got near the cafe, there was a good line out the door, but this was also due to how small the cafe was. There are no seats inside, so if guests wanted to sit down, there are benches at the front. I also noticed there might be more seating along the narrow alleyway right next to the cafe. The cafe themed artwork on the walls were cute to stare at as I drank my coffee.Speaking of coffee, this one was very good. I ordered the one with honey, and what I liked most about this coffee was that the flavors were bold. The roast didn't have a burnt aftertaste either, so it was a clear sip.
