I never order oat milk (I'm not even vegetarian), but their oat milk cappuccino was stellar. They roast their own beans in an excellent third wave style. Plus their desserts were great. I had a raspberry cheesecake that had a gluten free crust and it was sooooo good. Loved this place!
I am so glad to have a vegan bakery so close to the lake! I most often come by for their fresh coffee beans (with my favorite packaging of all the Bay Area roasters) but sometimes I’ll go for their treats. Their donuts are great, and the cherry cheesecake is my favorite. They also do pre-orders for birthday cakes in a few different sizes. The staff are always friendly and willing to reccomend a good pastry or coffee. They usually have a couple options for single origin pourovers in addition to espresso drinks.
I found out about this spot because some independent baker in SF sent all of their followers to cyber bully this business’s Instagram page. Before that I had no clue there was an all-vegan bakery & coffee shop in Oakland; had to come check it out! Been here a couple times, the workers are nice & welcoming, the spot is pretty chill, nice location. I really enjoyed the drip coffee! Definitely some of the best I’ve had in this area, however this spot is more expensive than the others. It’s located inside of a new pop-up gentri-apartment (like literally built last year 😒) so maybe the rent there is high? I tend to dislike plant-based businesses that charge a lot, just seems kind of unfair on a socioeconomic level but hey, it’s 2022 Oakland, what do you expect… My favorite item here is the butter croissant, taste amazing & the texture is spot on! Only lame thing is it sells out before 10am so you have to be an early bird vegan to enjoy it; I’ve only had the honor of trying it once. Wish they made more of this product or had it readily available for vegans that wake up past 9am, we do exist. Also tried the key lime pie; phenomenal! 🔥 Will make this a 5 star review if I can get a croissant at 11am.
EDIT: 5 stars! Turns out the croissant availability there is random.
