Water Street Coffee Joint‎ (Oakland)

I will focus this spotlight on the quality of roast that Waterstreet produces. Consistent and balanced: there is a flavor profile for everyone in their roasty offerings.
Light Roast? Look no further than their Ethiopian natural processed beans.
Dark and robust? Waterstreet Sumatra will always have a place in my heart.

One of my all time favorite places to sip a cup of tea. It might just be the memories associated with this place but I absolutely love it. I live in UT and am Soon moving to AK and I wanted to get little MI gifts for my pals at work from the mitten state. I bought my friend a fall tea that she will love and it's also a good little gift from the place I call home. Missing the mitten now.

Never take the little thing for granted 😉❤️🍻

As always (minus one occasion out of a 100+ or so) delightful! Excellent coffee, great Biscotti's, and generally intelligent employees (and patrons) to deal with. Only reason I don't eat there more is I'm on a perpetual diet!

Great customer service and great drink options. I got a delicious white hot chocolate with almond milk and it was made very well. Will definitely come back here when in Kalamazoo again.

Great coffee and tea, an excellent if small selection of snacks and small plates, warm and friendly staff. Always clean.
And they have the best homemade dog treats...we stop here on our way home from Chicago all the time and always grab some treats for our pups.

Absolutely phenomenal coffee! Got a black Americano and the single origin was deliciously floral. I’m not in Kalamazoo that often, but this will definitely be my go-to.
If you’re worried about COVID, I’d order ahead as it was somewhat busy inside.

I enjoy the coffee here but only some of the breakfast options are tasty to me, such as the cheddar biscuit with egg.

I love this place. It's a perfect right halfway stop between Chicago and East Lansing. They roast amazing beans--one of the few places to understand the importance of the light roast! Great coffee, good snacks, and homemade dog treats. 6 stars.

One of my two favorite coffee's in Kalamazoo and one of my favorite places to meet up with a friend over a cup. Newly renovated, the atmosphere is welcoming, service is usually friendly. Good, wholesome food options too but not what I'm usually there for so can't speak much to that. Parking can be a challenge - I usually grab a spot a bit north of their building in the parking lot off Oakland.

I often stop here for coffee (love the blends, which is rare because I usually prefer single origin!) but also meet friends here (or downtown) because I love to support local businesses. Here's the deal: great staff, yummy treats, and SUPER delicious coffee. go!
