    Cute spot! Really appreciated the dog vibes here -- lots of pups on the weekend and good vibes overall. Staff were friendly! Shop had a cute backyard patio area for dogs which was great, said high to a lot of cuties. The horchata latte was good and loose leaf as well. There are also outdoor outlets! Dream come true! Can get loud so be sure to bring headphones and lots of treats.

    Espresso, & oat milk Macchiato
    Felix W.

    I got an espresso and an oat milk macchiato. Both were excellent. The espresso was perfectly executed -- smooth, creamy, not bitter or burnt, and had great flavor coming through. I tasted notes of chocolate and a mild apple-like acidity -- sweet and warm, not sharp. 5/5 The macchiato had a little more milk than expected, but the oat milk complemented the espresso really well. 4.5/5 I'll definitely be back. If they're consistently this good, this could become one of my favorite spots in the East Bay.

    Horchata Latte (Oat Milk)

    Don't let the name Xochi, The Dog Cafe, mislead you like it did for us! We thought it was an ultra-dog-friendly cafe, but it's not. I got together with my coworker and wanted to bring my pup. Finding a spot was a bit tricky initially, but he recommended we check out Xochi. We arrived at the cafe on a Sunday afternoon. There was a sign saying no dogs allowed inside due to health and safety regulations (I understand) and how the cafe is named after their dog. My coworker ordered first and got us a table on their outdoor patio. The patio is dog-friendly and pleasant--vast, lush, and quaint. There are several tables spaced out to enjoy your drinks. The inside is minimalistic and roomy, with about three to four tables where you can work. We came on an off day, and they closed early. As a result, service seemed rushed, and we felt they wanted us to leave. Their Horchata Latte enticed me with Oat Milk. For the amount I paid, I felt like the quality and quantity didn't match. There was no horchata flavor, and it was super light on cinnamon. I don't think I'd come back to get this. This is a nice neighborhood coffee spot for those living in East Oakland. For others, especially paw-rents, this is just a PSA--it's dog-friendly outside! Parking is available in the neighborhood, with the shop on the corner of E 21st Street.

    Adorable corner coffee shop with friendly staff and delicious food/drinks. Stopped in for an empanada and Horchata latte. Empanada crust was crisp and flaky. Horchata latte was perfect. The cafe seems to be a neighborhood hotspot.

    Latte and Earl gray drip coffee

    I love cafe xochi, drinks are yummy, and service is so friendly! Also such a cute neighborhood location to grab drink and walk or hang out there, also adorable back patio

    Cool cafe especially if you have a pup! Nice choices and servers are so nice and accommodating. But really the best part is to bring your pup and let them roam around greet-sniffing other pups in the cage or in the backyard. It's social fun for them while you chill with your coffee!

    Fast service, tasty food and great vibe. 10/10 recommend for a cute coffee shop with a good small bite to eat.

    Parking is surprisingly open more often than not, however, I, do not like this place and I wonder if that's why parking is often available.. The neighborhood coffee shop is nice, the poster board is a nice community touch and especially all the nookish seating outside. But the feel and customer service is OFF. I've tried here a few times... you're often never acknowledged until it's time to order ($ - and sometimes it's NOT that busy!) I was glad to see others also feel the employees are rude(ish) and passive aggressive? It's always a weird vibe. Seems like the owner knows he's gonna get business and that just stinks. I've always felt taken for granted here and not because my name is Xóchi. If you want a gentrified neighborhood coffee shop, this is your spot! I just came here one last time to find out the bread they used and they told me, so R.I.P. Xóchi the terribly named cafe.

    Stopped by Mohka House in Oakland and honestly really liked it. The spot is owned and run by two…read morebrothers, which gives it a chill, personal vibe. We went mainly for drinks and tried a latte, tiramisu latte, and a Spanish latte. The tiramisu latte and Spanish latte were both really good and definitely my favorites. Smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. You can tell the coffee quality is solid. We also tried the matcha drinks in vanilla and strawberry. I liked the strawberry matcha more. It comes unsweetened, so I asked for it to be sweetened and it was great after that. The vanilla matcha was fine too, just not my top pick. They're also dropping a new Ramadan drink soon, a date latte, which sounds really good and I'll probably come back just to try that. Overall, great drinks and a nice place to hang out.

I loved the ambiance, it felt we was in another country. The place was packed I have no idea where everyone parked haha. Very hard to find parking. The Adeni Chai I had was wonderful and I would get again. The lemon pastries I had were good & I would possibly get again. Both cheese pastries & meat pocket I didnt care for so much. I undetstand they are an acquired taste but me being Middle Eastern we have our own versions and I think that's why I didn't like as much. I would definitely go back and try more sweet pastries. They had a large selection I couldn't try them all haha. I would love to try more tea and coffee options as well. Go and try out several different pastries and discover what you like. It's cheaper than buying an airplane ticket to try another countries culture and delights. They also have outside seating which is especially nice on a beautiful day. Pro tip: take an Uber if you can. Parking is hard to get.

The interior makes one feel that you are in a high end cafe with its beautiful decor.

Ordered the Ginger Honey Jobani as a hot drink, Biscoff Milkcake, Honeycomb, and a Beef Fatayer. There were several kinds of milkcakes which would have the texture like a tres leches cake. The Honeycomb had pockets of cream cheese and was drizzles with honey. The Meat Fatayer is like an empanada. The food and drink were very tasty.
