Ain't Normal Cafe

Definitely come check out this hip coffee spot on the corner!

Cappuccino is top notch. Deep flavor with perfect foam.

Mocha was the perfect combo of coffee and chocolate. Not too sweet with phenom chocolate creaminess.

Scone.... you MUST try this. It was the best scone I've had in a long time.

My new favorite coffee shop! I can’t even begin to explain how amazing this place is. There are a variety of different beans from brands all over the Bay area. The single origin shots were pulled to perfection! If you ever go, try the white wine fermented single origin. It is to die for.

Prior to the pandemic, there was a street that ran about 8 feet from the side of the shop that merged with Miles Avenue. Thanks to the city of Oakland (and I’m guessing Federal stimulus money to cities) the street was removed and there is now an plaza that the shop uses for outdoor seating. The vibe changed from primarily being a commuter coffee shop (grab and go and catch BART) to a neighborhood hangout. They make excellent cappuccinos (my expresso drink of choice) and my only complaint is that they don’t serve non-fat milk. This is their only location and locally owned. It has been a great addition to the Rockridge neighborhood.

Fun place! Great cup of espresso. The breakfast sando was devoured. Grabbed a few different kinds of sardines from the fabulous selection for our picnic later that day. Friendly staff which is a rarity in these parts!

great coffee - espresso drinks and 4 pourovers to choose from and lots of retail beans to buy (heart, fritz, and a couple others). would recommend. food also looked good but didn't get to try any

My new favorite coffee shop in the Bay Area. Finally a spot that has both great coffee AND knows how to make a damn fine cappuccino. Love how they are rotating through different roasters all the time and the respect they have for both local and non-local roasters. There's always parking nearby and they have great baked goods and snacks, too. LOVE THIS SPOT!

Fantastic local coffee house. Love the food, always lifts my spirits when I don’t have time or energy in the morning to cook. Great coffee and when I asked about bean recommendations they really worked with me to find good ones. If your on the way to rock ridge Bart. Don’t miss out!

Coffee (cappuccino) tasted like milk. Next time I will ask for four shots (half of them decaf) because I like the taste of coffee. They do sell a whole lot of cool coffee beans and wines, and the decor is beautiful.

Very good coffee spot.Friendly baristas.

I love the food they make, always fresh and creative. The pastries are my favorite. Super friendly people making beautiful concoctions. Coffee is outstanding.
