Matcha Honey Latte

Sweet folks... Matcha is unfortunately brown and not green. Wouldn't recommend. For food, the breakfast croissants are good with chili oil.

Not everyday you find a cafe with quiet working space, outlets, soft (&good) music, and AMAZING (properly made) chai! Highly recommend
Natasha S.

Friendly staff, quiet working space, amazing chai! Highly recommend for working from cafe vibes

Matcha Honey Latte

The matcha is BROWN Someone said the matcha here is next to what she had in Seoul, Korea btw... Will try food instead next time.

Soy, extra-hot white mocha that I don't even have to order anymore she just smiles and says, "Your usual? I absolutely love it here

Everything about this establishment is exceptional. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with a warm smile that sets the tone for the experience. The customer service is outstanding, the food quality is top-tier, and the ambience is inviting and well curated. You will not be disappointed at this location--staff presentation, attentiveness, and their willingness to go the extra mile are simply part of their standard of service

Croissant with spinach, eggs, onion in the back is my guy's garlic potatoes and a lox bagel
Angelin R.

My guy lives a few blocks from here. His go-to is a lox bagel with cream cheese on asiago bagel with a side of their garlic potatoes. I finally got to try it. Here it goes. Clean restroom, clean restaurant. Friendly service. Latte was nothing special, but it tasted good and was reasonably priced. I ordered a croissant with spinach, onion, egg and mayo. It was delicious. I am not a Mayo person. But this blended in nicely. Restaurant has extra tables so you can spaciously enjoy your meal while working on your laptop. Or enjoying time with a friend. Oh and my guys potatoes. Order those. Maybe not just before a first date. But definitely order them. I will definitely be back.

California Chicken Panini
Yuyi T.

This local cafe is hands down one of my top 5 favorite spots in Oakland. My husband and I come here at least once a week, and my go to order is the California chicken sandwich (I always ask for no onions!). They serve the sandwich with homemade chili oil sauce *chef kiss*!!! If you're in the mood for it, I highly recommend the taro latte. Not only the food is delightful, but Jasmine and Richard are the other reason that keep us coming back. They are warm, conversational, and kind, which makes us feel so comforting just to be in their presence Last but not least, the space is so cool, we LOVE the drawings and being able to add to the creativity as customers. Thank you Jasmine and Richard for keeping the door open of such a gem of a place!

Turkey and Cheddar Panini
Nathan D.

I will drive out of my way to get the turkey and cheddar panini, it is soooo tasty!! Good mimosas as well!

Macchiato

Absolutely amazing bagels! The food was so so good! Jasmine is so nice! No matter how busy she is she always greats us with love!! The entire staff is as well! Thank you yall

Apri Mango with chamoy smoothie
Lee M.

I love Cafe Uccello! The folks that work there are so nice and friendly and the food is terrific and the prices are more than fair for the quality and portion size! I love the turkey and the portobello mushroom panini (respectively). Their garlic potatoes are so delicious, my partner and I always have to get them when ordering food. We mostly come there for the delicious juices. My partner loves smoothies but hates bananas, which can be very limiting for him. Uccello has a big selection of banana-free options (and plenty with bananas, if desired). His favorites are the apri mango with chamoy spices (kind of like bebere/tagine spice) and the taro smoothies. The smoothies have milk, but the staff are more than happy to substitute with non-dairy milk. There are also chills, which are fruit juices blended with ice, which are perfect for hot days and lighter to drink. He also recommends the recovery juices for those days when he needs something more healthy feeling and restorative. We like hanging out here while waiting for May burritos next door. He'll get a delicious juice and I will sip on a Modelo while we wait. The ambiance is great for sitting around temporarily or longer, as I see folks camped out with their laptops and coffee.

Breakfast croissant with Turkey Sausage, Egg, and Cheddar
La M.

First of all this food is BUSSINNNN!!!!! I ordered the breakfast croissant with turkey sausage, egg and substitute cheddar for pepper jack. Along a dirty chai (house made chai with a shot of espresso) with oat milk. The croissant is nice and flaky. They use REAL eggs and REAL CHEESE. The turkey sausage got to be house-made because it taste like love. This is a great atmosphere to get some work done. They have a large sitting area that gives a homey feel with markers to write on the wall. I definitely made the right choice of where to have breakfast today and in the future because I will be back! The staff is super friendly. Each item was walked over to where I was sitting from behind the counter. Royal treatment :-*

100% angus double beef patty w/ Garlic Fries! Easy 10/10

Don't let the looks of a normal cafe fool you here... the food is exploding with flavor! Very plain and simple, but every bite is mouthwatering! Very clean and well kept spot as well. The service was quick and easy! Easy decision to return no doubt. Excellent hospitality. The 100% angus beef burger and garlic fries are a 10/10. That little side of chili oil they give you, do not overlook it... even though the food doesn't need it, it pairs extremely well with the burger and fries! Had to come back and give these fish n' chips a try and man they give you everything to pair well with this dish from tartar sauce, to fresh lemons, & to the malt vinegar! I was left speechless again with the simplicity of it and how flavorful it was. Riji knows what he's doing in the food menu here! The variety of food items here will have you coming back. And I topped it all off with a cool refreshing pineapple chill! Another highly recommended refreshment here! You won't regret any dollar spent here!

Is there a space/room available to hold a private meeting for 10?

I believe they do! I would give them a call to double check, the restaurant staff is really nice.

Is this a good place for a friend and me to sit down, chat, and do some writing? Looking for a somewhat quiet space to get creative :)

No doubt! It's a nice quiet place early in the morning. I imagine lunchtime is not as quiet but it's a wonderful place, great food and really nice staff.

Got lucky and parked two blocks away. 10 of their beers on tap; the rest are guest taps. So of course, I had to try their $3 signature Lager - Too light for me, basically you get what you pay for. Next... Pale Ale - $7, now that's more like it! No IPA today, so I had to settle. My daughter got the Yard Bird, Strawberry Lemonade Beer. Suits her. Ready for my 3rd beer, when my daughter said she wanted to go home and party some more?!?! So I abided. Lovely's restaurant is also here on the premises. See pictures and other 5 star Yelp review. Ambiance - Cool space. Lots of semi private spaces that you can rent. See pictures or their website. Very kid and dog friendly! Unisex restrooms with outside sinks, thank you! NO parking! So bad on a Saturday evening that we almost did not come. Open 6 days a week - see picture or their website. Closed on Mondays. Service - Counters service. For both the bar and Lovely's. The outdoor bar has WAY faster service than the inside bar, just an FYI. Price - Affordable, especially for the Bay Area. Just left South Lake Tahoe and paid $9 - $10 + tip a beer there, but you know that because you are following. Owner Comment - Congrats to the building since 1919. Congrats on your success since 2021; glad we were able to visit.

Their indoor space is actually quite large if it's a rainy day too. The outside is super lively on a sunny weekend, and you'll see a ton of doggies and some kids. I enjoyed all the brews I've tried here, and there's one I'm still on the hunt to find again from here -- it was simply salt and lime light beer?? Still won't stop talking about it. Anyways, I'll be here again!

Service was still on top of it. We came here before a comedy show and got serviced in time to eat and make a day of ourselves after. The spritzer was so good and the food was delicious . I wanted spicy and they went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed .

Just go anywhere else…read more First of all, the pricing is pretty bad. Maybe its because im not from the city...but a $20 dollar burger, plus having to pay for parking is pretty nuts. Then, you gotta do everything yourself. Keeping in mind the pricing and you would at least think you wouldn't have to get your own water?? And God forbid you want a separate tab, becasue now your ordering for yourself through a qr code like its doordash, just to find out that the website doesn't work when trying to pay, then they have the audacity to ask for a tip on the website?? Who am I tipping if I did everything myself? Anyways, we ended up just ordering through the waiter. I know that the restaurant is like this rustic millennial burger spot where they do odd stuff but this really threw me off. On top of this, I came with an elderly and when she asked for a water the waiter pretty rudely told her that it was self serving. Maybe this is nitpicking, and maybe we just got a bad apple, but our waiter seemed very unprofessional and spoke to us like we bullied him in high school. Additionally, while ordering, damn near the whole menu was out of stock. You would think that the two dollar charge for every ingredient added on your pizza would pay for some pesto. The menu is already not that big and suddenly it was reduced to only a couple of items. I would maybe understand if we had come later, but it was 4pm. Now for the famous outdoor seating, if you REALLY want to go here, please just eat inside. Yes it was cute, but leaves and seeds were constantly falling into our hair, drinks, and food. Maybe it would've been nicer to have lids on your cups so you weren't literally drinking around Lord-knows-what in your cup. Hopefully the seeds from the trees have protein, because I know I ate some. Finally, about the actual food, I will say that it was pretty good, and it came quickly! However, a burger from in n out or a pizza from blaze pizza is around the same quality for a more reasonable price. As for the pizza, it was pretty good and able to be shared with 2-3 people. Just avoid the "spicy" fries because they are just regular fries drowing in paprika lol. Overall, there are so many other cute spots like this around so just go to one of those.

They have an upstairs and downstairs area. Just note there's not A/C, so the upstairs area can get warm on hotter days. They have a great selection of beer, but I always end up gravitating towards their Limitless Bavarian Hefeweizen. They even have agua fresca which is made from a local. So good and refreshing! They do have some food offerings as well. Always greeted with friendly service. I love that they collaborate and have lots of events going on. That's how I heard about their annual chili cook-off! Plenty of parking available. Just don't park in front of the parklets. I got ticketed there once since the red on the curb was faded and discovered after the fact that there was a fire hydrant hidden behind the tree. Overall, just a great spot to chill and grab a beer with some friends. Will continue to patron Oakland United Beerworks.
