This is a quaint welcoming coffee shop, with customers working and chatting with friends. The Bergamot Matcha Latte was well made. Citrus, floral, and mixed well with matcha, delicious!

I love trying new coffee shops while traveling, so we found Retrograde on Yelp and decided to stop…read morein! It's really nice inside, clean and bright, lots of seating and a large assortment of coffee, cocoa and other items to purchase to take home. The line wasn't long but it was still nice to get our order taken care of by one of the employees while we waited. When we got to the counter we added a cookie to our order and the drinks came right out! The counter person was very friendly! Here's the thing....unless I missed it there was no restroom? Maybe it was outside? And although I saw mostly all excellent reviews on Yelp, I thought my coffee (the cold Milky Way) was just ok. I'm not sure what would have made it better, but it just wasn't that great. I did like the fact that it had no ice (which means more coffee in your cup) but was still cold and refreshing.

Friendly staff & a good menu on a surfboard. Seemed like everyone was ordering the breakfast burritos with their coffee, we had the normal cappuccino and sat outside on high tables they had. The coffee was very good that we bought some to take back to our BnB. Had a little bit of swag to buy. Worth the wait in line.

We've asked front staff about this and they are generally clueless and unable to forward questions to management. Or maybe management hears but doesn't care? Sent an email to Black Oak's customer support last week and 7 days later, still no reply. Cellular is sketchy throughout Healdsburg.so WiFi is helpful to use Black Oak's online site to order.

There's also some nice outdoor seating off to the side with more greenery and shade. Ordered one of their spring drinks: Violet Shade, a matcha latte with lavender and mint. I got mine with almond milk and to be half sweetened. It's a bit pricey coming out to $8ish for a hot 12oz drink but I do Ike treating myself once a week for a good cafe stop. I could have settled for a regular matcha too! Love that they give mugs for any "for here" drinks too. Drink was cozy and very good! Lavender was there but didn't overpower the matcha. Good microfoam in the drink and no clumps at the bottom of my mug when the drink was gone! All good signs of a well made matcha drink. Hope to be back soon to try their espresso drinks with their own roasts!

I am definitely a coffee snob and I love being able to taste the subtle flavors in the different roasts. Possibly the best cup of coffee in Santa Rosa! The ambiance of this place is modern with a sleek, garage aesthetic. This is where they roast their beans, so even as I write this review I'm getting to watch them roast lots of coffee beans. It's a fun part of the experience of coming here. The service here is friendly and they make good breakfast sandwiches and Avocado toast! Definitely worth visiting if you love good coffee.

Definitely one of the best mochas I've had EVER - it was just so smooth and not overly sweet or bitter. I would definitely drive all the way back just to get their chocolate & coffee again.
