- Ignore the negative tip, new owners are the friendliest people you'll ever meet! New lunch specials everyday - soup is always amazing. And they make the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever!!!
- Perfect little breakfast bites. The homemade jams, giant latte bowls and Eggs Benedict are all good but I think everything is good - it’s hard to choose
- AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014On a lazy Saturday morning head to Caffe 817 in Old Oakland for a breakfast of poached eggs, olive tapenade and toasted levain. Add a latte bowl or cappuccino for the perfect start to your day! Read more
- Daniel GraysonAugust 31, 2017Polenta, eggs, and chorizo is always a win, and that's the case at this cute nook. The corned beef hash was worthy, too.
- Brian StraussAugust 11, 2015A decent weekend brunch spot without a line?? Creative, savory, Italian-centric breakfasts (read: different types of polenta and baked eggs). Good cappuccino. I'll be back.
- Try the lattes, italian steamed eggs with olivetta, handmade yogurt and granola, or sandwiches and salads. The new owners are awesome, and really care about locally sourced and handmade foods.
- Russell LApril 19, 2015A nice cafe for a weekend brunch/lunch, with half the seats outside. Serving coffee roasted down the street. Definitely a eat/chat location, not for plopping down with a laptop.
- ¿L? ButlrJune 30, 2015Polenta and blue cheese is amazing if you LOVE blue cheese. Home-made jams and great bread and A quick walk from convention center
- Justin BarkerMay 27, 2018The various poached eggs on garlic toast are surprisingly delicious given their simplicity.
- Leah W.June 27, 2015Fantastic service. Love the breakfast foods here, and the cappuccino was incredible!
- This place is quickly becoming my favorite cafe around my work. Amazing coffee (Mr.Espresso)!
- Marise PhillipsMay 7, 2013Iced coffee is good enough to drink without embellishments!! Polenta and baked eggs, is substantially nom-my without being heavy.
- Serving vegetarian specials everyday, also offering 10% off vegetarian sandwiches during Oakland Veg Week, April 15-21, 2012.
- Great coffee and locally sourced food at reasonable prices. This place is an undiscovered gem.
- Get a piece of their homemade chocolate chip cookie with your coffee.
- Their poached eggs are fantastic. Great coffee and espresso too.
- yael wagnerNovember 12, 2011Read the negative ti, & can't agree. Love my latte & sandwich, & service was good.
- Rory ScottNovember 23, 2014Don't come on a Sunday unless you have nothing to do with your day. Waited for an hour for my food. Eventually just asked for my money back cuz I got sick of waiting
- Awesome architecture & furniture here - like the photo show... See it!
- Sean DrydenFebruary 12, 2011Enter at your own risk. Sit down but don't get comfortable... The owner will switch you to a new table shortly... Or just throw you out mid meal. She is truly a horrible person in an awful cafe.
