Ain't Normal Cafe

Really good coffee and really solid pastries. Great variety as well.

Place looks like your average coffee house but this one is underrated. Delicious coffee and great food. Tempted to go back for more and I just finished. Avocado toast is lite and full of flavor.

I’ve heard about this place forever and finally got around to going. The vibe is very laid back and chill, and the coffee is delicious. All kinds of beans to choose from. The staff was great and friendly service

A great selection of roasted beans can be purchased here, (resell) from roasters all over the country. Their pour over offering changes frequently enough to warrant at least a weekly visit. Their espresso also has a cadence and seems to always offer the options of one single origin and one blended. Great vibe from the baristas too.

I don’t get the hype. Saw this spot. Tried it out. Didn’t find my mocha to be at all exceptional and the bottom was all syrup. Poorly made. 3 stars for being barely better than Starbucks.

Really quality coffee, matcha, and espresso drinks. Thoughtful choice of beans for sale. In-house they make *great* breakfast sandwiches with perfect biscuits and also make their own buttermilk scones, super fresh and warm. Highly recommend!

Updating a year later— been coming since the height of the pandemic. This is still one of my favorite cafes in the Bay. Since day 1 their pour overs and espresso have been among the very best. Their breakfast sando is consistently good. Their other baked goods—scones, recently a Japanese curry pastry, and others—are always *very* good. The key is their in-house bakery, everything they make is quality. Variety of beans to buy. Space to sit indoors and outdoors in the sun. Everyone working there is super nice. Becoming a community institution. And I haven’t even been for wine yet!

Our go to neighborhood coffee shop. Great coffee/espresso, nice aesthetic, and I love their little outdoor seating space. Never change!

Had a sweet scone and Americano.
Scone was ok, a bit on the small side.
Americano was also ok, nothing special.
With moderate tip I paid$10, so it seemed a bit on the high side to me.

The best selection of retail beans in the bay. Pastries are mind-blowing. Place is stellar.

The coffee shop replaced Bica and I couldn’t be happier. They carry so many beans from all over the country, the baristas are so chill and local, and their scones are NEXT LEVEL. Don’t sleep on the baked goods and egg sandos. The coffee is a must try every time, but it goes without saying.
