"Not great first impression with staff. They had several opportunities to tell me that indoor seating was not pet friendly and only chose to tell me after I had settled down at a table with my drink and food. Wish I was told when I first entered so that I could choose to leave and go elsewhere instead of being forced to then sit outside. Inside had no A/C and was decently warm on a hot day. Food and coffee tasted fine though was ultimately soured by the service experience. Overall, personally not coming back myself."

"Went here to meet up with a friend - perfect place for catching up, chatting, or getting some work done! Plenty of indoor seating with some tables outside. Very large interior and pretty comfortable chairs. Plenty of outlets. It's in a really nice part of Oakland within walking distance of Lake Merritt, which I HIGHLY recommend going to for an afternoon stroll. The spinach ricotta croissant ($4.25) was pretty good but would have been better warmed up. Drinks and pastries are reasonably priced, especially compared to a $10 Starbucks matcha latte."

"The Oak Caesar Salad is perfectly crunchy and savory. The lavender tea lemonade refreshing and mixed perfectly. An amazing calm vibe during the lunch hour. Also, had a blueberry muffin, yummy"

"Wonderful owner who came by our office to offer a huge tray of sandwiches at no cost to us since she was in the neighborhood. Actions like this, sharing with the community, is greatly appreciated, and this business should be supported. The staff enjoyed the goodies."

"It is beautiful inside the building and the selection is great. The cost is a bit high for the portions served, but everything taste great regardless. We got sandwiches, coffee, and pumpkin bread. Should have gotten double the bread. Service was okay, just seemed like an off day."
