    Lox Bagel
    Kimberly T.

    Support this cafe! The lox bagel and chicken sandwich are always so delicious and the owner is very kind and humble

    Sandi's and such.

    Cute, rustic little place. Here for the coffee. And my drink was quite good. They had some other things, sandwiches and such but I couldn't eat them. I liked them because they were within walking distance of where my meeting was and they also had a very good latte. The service was very good. The gentleman working behind the counter was nice. I believe they may have had some tables inside, but it was a bit dark and cramped, so I took my latte down the street to my meeting.

    Breakfast Veggie Sandwich + egg
    Juana S.

    The Breakfast veggie sandwich: You have the option of slice white or whole wheat bread. The fillings are cucumber, avocado, cream cheese and spinach, (they might of ran out of sprouts). I added an egg and I'm happy with that decision. The sandwich was satisfying and the veggies were fresh. The coffee: self serve house blend was on the lighter side but it did the trick. I plan to be back and try one of their smoothies. The service was quick and friendly! Pros: Small business owner Simple menu options Breakfast Veggie sandwich Cons: The blend was light Dies viente viente tres

    Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Croissant Breakfast

    Nice, quick service and good food. Ordered 2 bacon egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwiches and they were tasty. Came out to be a little over $13 for both.

    Roast Beef on Toasted Wheat
    Steve D.

    Coco Cafe is the sandwich shop right next door to the Kaiser Admin building on Franklin Street (between 19th & 20th St) in downtown Oakland. I have probably grabbed a sandwich here dozens of times, and never realized I haven't left a review for them. So, I made it a point to order some sandwiches, so i can post some photos to go with this review. Recently, I ordered a roast beef sandwich, a lox bagel, a breakfast croissant, and an egg salad sandwich. All were good, but I especially enjoyed the Egg Salad on wheat. This sandwich was just packed with fresh egg salad, and had crunchy red onions and pickles. OMG, it was tasty! The cool thing about this cafe is that it stays open until 4pm. Which is good for nearby workers who take mid-afternoon breaks. So you have a place to grab coffee and/or a sandwich. They basically serve drinks like coffee, tea, and juices. And menu items like: breakfast bagels and croissants, salads, sandwiches, and a vegan items. Meter parking and garage across the street. ---------------------------------------- Support Local Business!

    Egg Salad Sandwich with a Mango Go Shake Smoothie

    First time trying this place out and it was love at first bite. Currently eating as I type this. Usually I'm bummed when I get a wheat sammy but this one is packed with all the goods that every great sandwich should have. I only had one sip of my protein shake but I love it. I will definitely come back here! Thank you!!

    Egg Bagel Bacon with a bagel

    My partner picked up some sandwichs For us to enjoy during lunch. He is a big fan of this place as it is family owned and has been a staple in the community for some time. He got me the tuna sandwich on wheat. The tuna was overflowing and tasted fresh. He got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel, and he said he really enjoyed it. I highly suggest you check this place out for some coffee, a quick bite to eat and to support a local business.

    I've grown to enjoy my morning walks to Coco- even if it is 3 blocks away from work. But, the affordable food and convenience make it worth the trip. Breakfast items are super affordable- croissants, bagels (under $3 with cream cheese), english muffin sandwich ($4.50 with all the fixings) at more affordable prices compared to other breakfast spots around. Plus, their smoothies are under $5! You really can't beat that anywhere in Uptown Oakland. Really convenient grab and go breakfast spot, I have yet to try their lunch offerings (Paninis and wraps), but I'll have to update this review when I've done so!

    The food was great! Very fast service and to to it off the coffee was delicious!!! Definitely glad we walked in this place.

    Definitely recommend it 10/10 but would add probably some banana peppers to make it spicy

    See all

The bread was super fresh--soft on the inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. You can tell they don't cut corners with quality. The meats were just as impressive--fresh, flavorful, and stacked perfectly. Every bite had a great balance of meats, cheese, and toppings. Nothing was overpowering, and everything tasted clean and well-made. What really stood out to me was how fresh everything tasted. It didn't feel like a rushed sandwich--it felt like it was made with care. If you're looking for a solid Italian sub with fresh bread and high-quality meat, Brothers Deli is definitely the spot. I'll for sure be coming back.

    I really wanted to like this place, but I was a little underwhelmed by the sandwiches I ordered…read more(Italian Sub, Turkey & Swiss, and Ham & Cheese). The sandwiches were okay. I really shouldn't single them out because I've noticed that a lot of the east bay delis have the same type of bread, but I will say that it just wasn't my taste. The rolls (I got the Dutch Crunch, sourdough roll, and the soft roll) were not that great and --like I said-- maybe it's the same vendors everyone uses in the east bay. For the cost, I'm not too enthused to try the other options. Every time I passed by their spot, it's busy, so I figured I'd try it. It's just not for me, but people seem to like it. ‍

I ordered a tuna sandwich with everything on Dutch crunch bread, along with some Harvest Cheddar SunChips and a Strawberry Kiwi Snapple. Let me tell you--the sandwich was excellent. The tuna tasted fresh, the lettuce and tomatoes were crisp, and that Dutch crunch bread brought it all together. Every bite was on point. Easily one of the best deli sandwiches I've had, especially from an independently owned spot. The place itself has a great old-school vibe. Lots of photos on the walls and even some Raiders memorabilia, which gives it a real local feel. When I got there, there were a few people ahead of me, so I waited about 10-15 minutes, but it was worth it. You can tell they're making everything fresh. There were about 4-5 people working behind the counter, and even though they were busy, they were still friendly, engaging, and interacting with customers, which I liked. The lady at the register was also very nice and welcoming. They've got a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from. I've tried a few over the years, but next time I might go for something like the Chicago-style meatball sandwich. If you're in Alameda on Webster Street and want a fresh, high-quality sandwich, this is the spot. Perfect for grabbing something to go and heading over to the park or the beach on a nice day. Two thumbs up from me.

They have a modest but solid selection of Italian deli meats (Serrano ham, prosciutto, pancetta, etc), pasta, olive oil, vinegars, and a couple specialty jams (calabrian chile orange, etc) - basically all you'd need for a gourmet charcuterie board meal or snack. Last time I was here, picked ip a bottle of nicely aged balsamic vinegar from Italy, which has lasted me for a couple years. Today, decided to try one of their specialty Italian sandwiches with a shot of expresso on the side... and Mama Mia was the sandwich absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the Jamon Serrano & Manchego sandwich ($14.50). It comes with shaved ribbons of serrano ham, 1/5 inch thick slice of aged manchego cheese, a creamy spread of chevre goat cheese, chopped/marinated artichokes and arugula greens on a crusty/crunchy baguette (between half to a full foot long). I practically finished this within 10 minutes - it was so good! The expresso shot ($3.25) was also a good pairing for me. Loved the aroma, made from nicely dark roasted beans. Inside the venue there's shelves on the back wall, with Italian dry goods, oils, vinegars, jams, etc for sale. Seating indoors is about 5ish tables for 2 or more. Outside sidewalk has a couple tables too. Located on the corner of 9th & Washington St, mostly metered street parking in this area and a small hourly parking lot across the street.

    Well this ended up being kind of a bummer today. Not a very attractive place, but we chose it…read moreknowing it was a diner, so expectations of decor were limited. The waitress looked comfortable wearing her pajamas and the cook in his shorts and t-shirt.... Odd, but whatever. Some standard tables and chairs and a cooler in the dining area for drinks. Handy, I suppose. Or, maybe that was the only outlet available? Who knows? Added character! Haha I'll share some positive notes: The French fries were great! Perfectly crisp outside and tender in! We ordered the pulled pork fries as an appetizer. It was okay. The pork tasted a little off, but not quite sure why. My daughter's cheeseburger was fine. My friends sandwich, BLT was also fine. Things went south from here. My sandwich was the brisket and the waitress said it was her favorite. Well... everybody has different tastes I guess because I felt like it was gross. The meat tasted old and it was absolutely the messiest sandwich in the Kingdom of Messy Sandwiches. I'm OK, in general, with messy sandwiches, but in this case it was extreme. I needed a bib and wet wipes in abundance. It came with a salad, which would have been great, except they absolutely DROWNED it in an apple cider vinegar dressing. The thing is, the dressing had a wonderful flavor, and it would have been quite lovely had it not been so cloying and gooped on so massively. It was literally inedible. So after three bites of the sandwich and one bite of the salad, I decided to send it back. The whole plate was just nasty. And this is where my rating went from a 3 or 4 stars to a two. First the waitress was extremely confused. Okaaay.... So she went to talk to the cook who then came out to argue with me. I was trying hard not to be rude. I just wanted to let them know that I didn't want the sandwich and they needed to take it back. I told him that I didn't like it. He proceeds to tell me that it is everyone's favorite, their most popular sandwich. That all of their sandwiches are messy. ( The BLT and the hamburger were not. They were normal) so I tell them that despite other people liking it apparently I did not. I explained how there was too much salad dressing and that the meat tasted old to me. They acted like they had no idea what to do with this feedback. I said please just take this plate away from our table. I was not paying the bill so I do not know for sure if they charged for it or not. But yuck. Who argues with a customer? Especially when it's about taste and perceived quality, as we all have different taste buds that's why there's a menu of different options available at restaurants! I worked in restaurants for many years of my life. I hate sending things back and I don't do it unless it is really bad or really not what I ordered. It's very uncomfortable to be confrontational at all with anyone at any time, but the reality is when we are paying for something we want it to be good and if it is not good we need to be able to speak up about it and hold them accountable to an inferior quality product. They made that very difficult.

    I'm sure there are other good things here but I keep just getting the cheese steak. The picture…read moredoesn't do it justice. It's a warm, crunchy roll, the chopped steak and cheese are perfect, and there's a salad next to it so you can take a bite of that while you're waiting for the next bit of your sandwich to cool down. Do yourself a favor and order this in instead of carrying it out. The roll is warm and crunchy and I think too much time in a bag would make everything less delicious. (I'm sure it's still good, it's just *better* if you can eat it when it's fresh.) I swear one of these days I'll try something else on the menu.
