Das a good espresso man.
My house blend latte was magnificent. Nice street seating available with views of leisurely people.
Nice coffee
Coffee is amazing!!!! Service is something else, too. Even when the line is long, it advances so super fast, but even if I had waited. It is soooo worth it.
Best coffee in the east bay. PERIOD!
Walked past 3 other coffee shops to get to Cole Coffee. Best espresso shots around!
I went in for coffee and left with the daily special because it sounded so good. I'm very satisfied with my impulse buy (it was a sandwich by the way). The staff was friendly and patient while I decided what to get from the menu (everything sounded so good), and the cafe was clean and bright.
Good costumer service, friendly customer service
I like the layout and feel is nice. A lovely spot to meet with someone to talk whether for a date or business. It's fairly quite and clean. It reminds me of cafés in Europe. The food is better than what you would get in a typical American coffee shop. But the coffee ... European sizes, American prices and bitter. They really need to clean their machine or get some fresh beans. Not a fan!
Great variety of pour overs. Flor de Caña.
Sunny and bright. Good vibes. No wifi
Why have I not had Cole Coffee before?!? I've been walking past this place for years, but either when they are closed or I am already late for work. Finally made the journey to College ave on a leisurely Saturday morning, and decided to grab a bag to brew at home. Best decision ever! The dark roast beans make for am incredibly smooth and easy drinking coffee. That plus their extra sturdy coffee mug (see pic) make me feel like I'm stooled up in an old school diner rather than back at my kitchen table for the thousandth time this year Will definitely be working Cole Coffee into my regular rotation!

Newport Beach, CA 886910 5/6/2022Updated review Went during the pandemic and was so nice to still have their great coffee, service and food during those times, even though the inside was closed , was happy ! 12/17/2018Previous review The granola with yogurt and fruit is SO GOOD!!!!!!! And their toast. I love their food options. I say 4 stars instead of 5 because all 3 times I went the coffee was Luke-warm :-( and they aren't able to heat it up. It gets quite crowded and hard to navigate the crowd if you want to sit and chill for a bit. Not thaaaat much seating to kind of camp-out, and it does get cold with the door opening. I'd go back when it isn't busy, when it's warmer, and probably not for the coffee. I'd hit up Philz across the street since their coffee is usually really hot Read more Michael S.Elite 2022 Oakland, CA 1121943 7/2/2021 Best coffee in California. Years ago and before the larger cafe space was opened, I worked a swing and graveyard shift in the trucking business. I'd fill my Thermos at the coffee shop or brew my own with Cole ( then Royal) Coffee. Good and rich on cold Oakland harbor nights. Don't be fooled by chains. This is great November Juliet ( it's a Marine Corps term for coffee). ! Jonathan B.Elite 2022 Walnut Creek, CA 370176622 7/24/2020 First time! The chocolate chip
Very comfortable seating area, modest size. Great coffee(Americano was just right). They also sell bagels from nearby boichik, so you don't have to wait on line there if you aren't looking for bulk bagels.
Coffee is good but matcha and chai are not.
Boichik Bagels x Cole’s Coffee, no wait
Cute digs and tasty drinks! No wifi unfortunately but a great place to stop for a cup and a bite
What a lovely way to start the day. Stumbled upon this great spot and the proprietor could not have been more lovely. Grabbed a coffee and a bagel to go but not without having a lovely conversation. We need more of this in our world – a place where we can connect with humanity and respect. Keep up the great work!!
Good coffee, lively atmosphere, and one of the few places where you can enjoy a Boichik bagel.
Very agreeable ambience
Where the elite meet, friends greet and the cautious drink their cuppa outside.
