☕Oakland coffee that doesn't need Valencia St's approval
Temescal, Grand Lake, Uptown. Not fighting SF for a seat.

1
Red Bay Coffee (Grand Ave, Grand Lake)
single origin pour overs rotate weekly (single origin) and there's actual seating, unlike half the roasters in SF
2
Highwire Coffee Roasters (Rockridge)
3
Timeless Coffee (Piedmont Ave)
vegan bakery case is the real draw honestly. coffee's solid but I go for the maple bar
4
Farley's East (Uptown)
the OG Grand Ave hipster cafe, opened 2009. parklet seating if it's not foggy
5
Modern Coffee (Downtown, Clay St)
further from the Temescal cluster but worth the walk if you're already downtown. they dial it in better than most
