"I visited the place with my father in law because I was interested in seeing the green coffee beans and the tools they have. Even though they were in the middle of their end of year inventory, we were welcome to look around. I also had a great conversation with one of the guys who works there. It was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I travel to Oakland."

"I've been doing business with Sweet Marias for more than 15 years. Ordering 15# green beans every 8 for personal roasting. Their prices have remained steady over the years and the quality of their products has always been excellent. I ordered #100 pounds to get through the pandemic. Freshly roasted and ground coffee each morning kept my morning ritual intact all the way through. When the pandemic was over, I was still here and so where they. I thank the Lord for that and at the start of 2026, I'm still here making my orders and enjoying their green beans. I wish the folks at SM a happy and prosperous new year. Best wishes to all. Greg"

"Sweet Maria’s has been awesome to work with. I had a problem with something and they responded and fixed it. They have an amazing selection of beans and I get my orders in New Mexico in under a week. They have shipped all 3 orders out within 24 hrs. Everyone I have talked with there has been amazing to work with. I’m super happy I found them! ☕️"

"Ordered a behmor and it came packed well and fairly quick shipping. Really appreciate all of the guidance they provide on their websites. I hope to have this machine mastered some day and tons of roasts under my belt. thanks again!"

"UPDATE: email received this morning acknowledging Sweet Maria’s dropped the ball on this occasion. Refund underway 🙌 Very disappointed with the rechargeable burr grinder purchased recently. With minimal use over just a couple of months the grinder stopped charging. No refund or replacement, told warranty only 30 days! Shame on you Sweet Maria’s. You’re a big enough company that surely you can look after your customers better."
