modern coffee

I used to always go here when I lived nearby. Now I’m a bit farther, and I decided to make the trek out to come back, and I am so so happy I did. The burnt cinnamon mocha is PHENOMENAL. Even better than I remember it. The vibes are great, laid back, the people here (including the clientele!) are all so nice….. one of my top coffee shops in the whole world.

Hands down one of the best coffees I’ve had! Real artistry in coffee. I liked that they had some unique and creative drinks. For example I ordered the Masala Chai Latte with a shot of expresso. My fried. Ordered the blackstrap molasses latte. Both tasted fabulous!! Also the design and furniture looked really cool. Definitely coming back to this place.

Delicious coffee! End of review.

Kidding!

The coffee is truly delicious here and I've had the pleasure of trying several different options. The Vanilla Latte, the Lavendar Latte, the Burnt Cinnamon Latte but my favorite is actually the Blackstrap Iced Coffee.

All of the house-made syrups are so much better than the regular stuff, plus they always serve it with a smile.

Add to that the fact that they are a truly genuine business that cares about the rights of all individuals, and you really feel the love oozing out of Modern Coffee!

Got a very tasty Cortado. The inside is very nice but there is a very cool indoor courtyard attached to the coffeeshop that is very nice to pull your laptop out in to work. Lots of natural light.

I love coming here for my morning coffee. The baristas are very friendly and fast. The prices are reasonable. Probably the best Americano I've had so far. Their pastry and bagel selection is awesome too. Very clean with a lot of seating if you need to a place to chill or do work.

Coffee was delicious and more affordable than most coffee shops in the area. There is a nice atrium that’s a great place to work next to the coffee shop and they serve you there if you sit there.

So glad they came back. Im a resident in Oakland, and I would say they have best coffee in this area. Friendly staffs are always a plus. Highly recommend! Absolutely love this place!

The staff are super friendly, the service is fast, and the coffees are good. Oh, and they also have some interesting choices in coffee, and keep it fresh by changing up the menu here and there from time to time. We go there at least 2-3 times a week.

Ps the banana bread is also great

They make their own lavender syrup, and it’s really nice—not too sweet at all, just a hint of lavender flavor. They have some other interesting drinks that I’d be curious to ask about and to try. They’re still not fully open, they have an outdoor area on the street, sort of like an enclosed patio, and the entrance is closed off and turned into a service window. The chocolate eclair was baked fresh that day, they said, and it was okay, but pretty dense, not crispy and flaky. It was actually better later, after a brief stint in the toaster. The prices are reasonable, I’d say average for the area.

Wow. I was very politely asked to wear a mask to order a cup of coffee to go, which is not consistent with county policy. I very politely declined and told the staff member I would go somewhere else for a $3+ cup of coffee. The inanity of the situation is that there were two customers drinking coffee in the shop. Interestingly, they didn't have their masks on. More covid theater. I went around the corner to a different coffee shop where there were considerably more customers who were free to choose whether they wanted to wear a mask.
