The ambiance and staff are nice. The coffee is overpriced and mediocre at best. $8 for a latte that tastes like milk is not where it's at. To be fair, I was warned that it isn't the best coffee. read more

I'm so delighted to happen across this little cafe on the way to the Shops on Broadway. I'm brand new to the neighborhood so I'm exploring what it has to offer. Petit Cafe has me thrilled that it's only a short 0.1 walk from my apartment. I came in after 1:00 PM for a later brunch and ordered a lavender latte, biscuit sandwich (sans avocado) with potatoes, and guava/cream cheese scone. The sandwich was delicious! A fresh, flaky, butter biscuit was accompanied by a fluffy and delightfully cheesy egg and grilled onions. Potatoes were nicely seasoned. All served hot and fresh. It was a bit of a wait to get this but nothing to deter me from ordering again. Lavender latte was beautiful and good, but I was expecting more of a lavender hit. The scone appeared to be cooked a little more than I typically like but it was still nice and fluffy with incredible flavor from the guava. The cafe itself is super cute and quaint, and appears to be a popular destination to do some work on your laptop. It's safe to say I'll become a regular. I'm already planning to bring my BFF here when she comes to visit. read more

This is an amazing little cafe! The food is fabulous for breakfast and lunch. The owner and everyone that works there are helpful, generous and super nice! I've been there several times and can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent drinks and food! The owner is the kindest man. It is clean and beautiful inside! My favorite drink is the rose cardamom latte and the French grilled cheese is a must try! Please do yourself a favor and go in when you pass by. read more

I wanted to like this place bc of the ratings but unfortunately it was not the case. I ordered the breakfast egg and cheese sandwich, the bread was good and homemade and has this sweet taste to it, but the sandwich was not hot it was warm. The potatoes were also cold and not cooked all the way. They were a mixed bag of hard and soft. This is the second restaurant in Oakland that served cold food. Idk what is going on with the cooks these days. If I were to go again I'd probably just get a drink. read more

Adorable cafe! Healthy options, homemade syrups, lots of food options. Seating, WiFi, small snacks and quality ingredients. Nice service (offered to pet me sample the syrups), had no idea this place was here, will be back :) read more

Quaint cafe with delicious matcha iced tea. Their customer service is excellent. The buttery biscuits are delicious and perfect when paired with strawberry jam. I wasn't expecting it to be extra large and filling but worth trying it. I expect to return and try the rest of their menu soon. This is a hidden gem in Oakland. read more

Couldn't wait to come and leave a review for this place... from the second I walked in the aroma of fresh oak, santal & brew soaked in my veins. It was like walking into a beautiful massage room with no scent of hard coffee. I loved every bit of it. I heard laughing when I walked in the door and immediately had a wholesome feeling of goodness. Awesome cashier w.locs(Forgive me for not remembering) was soooo cool. Very down to earth and funny. I ordered the lavender latte and it couldn't have been any better than I had imagined. I will definitely be coming back just for the latte and to try a delicious bite from their food selection! read more

EDIT: I didn't know blue pea flower powder was also called blue matcha, so it's not actually referring to the typical matcha we see! Thanks to the owner for the heads up :) I came by to do some work and got the Blue Calm drink, which is a matcha latte with blue pea flower powder and vanilla. It looks beautiful and I don't really taste the matcha itself, but the overall drink is creamy and nutty. I like that they have a lot of non-coffee options! I like the ambiance of the cafe but I would say the seating options are somewhat limited. read more

I came here while waiting on my car to get serviced. I'm a big breakfast person, so I was shocked at my overwhelming interest in their overnight soaked steel oats. I like oatmeal a lot, but it's rarely my go to for breakfast when I'm eating out. Let me tell you, if you've ever felt that same way, this place will change your thoughts on that rule after your first bite. I ordered that with a side of toast with homemade strawberry jam (my all time ultimate jam -pun intended). The steel oats though, OMG. First they're presented beautifully layered with the chopped apples, honey and some sort of crumble. There might have been brown sugar (I can't recall). But, something told me to do a thorough stirring from the bottom. It was SO GOOD! Fresh, the constitution of the oats beyond any I had ever tasted; firm, yet chewy. The crunch of the fresh apples, burst of sweetness from the granola crumble was a great surprise throughout the meal. They made a new fan today. The strawberry jam was also as delight. Beautiful in appearance and delight to the taste buds. I'd be remiss not to mention that the service and people were super nice and attentive. I immediately have an appreciation for small businesses that use their wall space to display local artists. I hope they rotate artists regularly. Would love to come in to new art that I also have an opportunity to purchase. It makes the experience even more worth while. read more

I work nearby and this is my go to local cafe for amazing drinks and baked goods. My favorites: avocado toast, French toast, ginger snap latte, and vanilla bean latte with sprinkle of cinnamon. Customer service is always great and the cafe is quaint and inviting! read more

I came here to grab breakfast and work for few hours. The quiche wouldn't be ready til 11am so I order the avo toast instead. And a cold brew. I've found that avo toast is shockingly easy to mess up, I'm often disappointed by what I get at restaurants. But their version is solid! Basic, but good quality bread, ripe avocado and perfect egg. Next time I'm going to add feta. The staff is very friendly, WiFi's good, and they've got pleasant meditation/spa music playing in the background. Will be back! read more

I was in the area to support a friend during a breast biopsy, and decided I needed to grab some food after waiting for some time at the waiting room. Petit Cafe is very close and had good reviews, so I decided to check it out. I ordered a small Dark Chocolate Chili Mocha, described as a mocha made with dark chocolate and chili (I chose oat milk), which was $6.34 before tip. I found the drink had more heat than I expected--but in a good way. I have a sweet tooth, so I needed to doctor it up to get it to the sweetness level I needed so the heat of the chili was more pleasurable to drink. The food on the menu looked appetizing, but I wish they put the prices on the menu so customers don't have to ask about each food item if they wanted to know. The man at the register was sweet and friendly, and the vibe of the cafe was relaxing and chill. Other than a few petite, narrow tables, there is only one big table available-- but there is free WiFi and a decent amount of outlets. Overall a good experience! read more

This is all of the best of Oakland in one little cafe. Quality: 5 Value: 5 Service: 5 Ambience: 4 This is a great local, Black-owned, small business that provides excellent coffee AND a range of really good, locally sourced/inspired delicious breakfast and lunch items. They have gluten free and vegan options, too. The staff are always super friendly, informative, and down to earth. They have prices in line with everywhere else nearby of this calibre. read more

Can't say I recommend this place. The food is very average, doesn't have much flavor. Once I asked for a pice of toast only, and they gave me and end piece with all the crust. I got a chai once and it was sprinkled with cinnamon. That's not how real chai is made. They play annoying "cafe" music on a big TV screen in the small dining area--- why do they need that? It's just a very average place. The owners and guys who work there are very nice though. but it's kinda like cafeteria food-- nothing special. read more

I love this place. The employees are friendly. The coffee, pastries, and food are good. I am having the Bee Hive iced and a guava scone and both are hitting the spot. I like to go here while I wait for my car maintenance to be completed at Johnny's Auto Repair Shop nearby. read more

I get either seasonal oat milk lattes here (rose, lavender, winter spice have all been good), or drip coffee and a food item (croissant, HUGE avocado toast, salad). Awkwardly the last time I visited, the barista/cashier was chatting up the girl in line ahead of me for an eternity and didn't even make eye contact to take my order. Not that I need or want a ton of attention when picking something up, but my presence was made to feel like an inconvenience. I'll still keep coming here, since it's a lovely place that makes lovely drinks, but it's probably good advice to finish up one order/conversation before starting the next. read more

Cute corner cafe with a small seating area indoor and a vast menu of seasonal and specialty drinks along with small bites (breakfast and lunch). The staff is friendly. The ginger snap latte is seasonal and warrants another visit very soon. When I asked more about this seasonal latte I was told that the drink was more ginger forward and that almost deterred me but I'm glad I kept it as my order because it reminds me of the cookie with isn't too sweet and perfect. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I haven't tried more of the menu. read more

Ran into this cute little cafe while waiting for my dad's eye procedure. After I paid, my food was delivered right to my table within minutes. I'm guessing they have super fast service for the hospital staffs next door. I ordered the biscuit egg sandwich and a lavender latte. I'm a big meat eater and I don't consider egg as meat so I was hoping I could add ham or bacon to my sandwich but I was wrong!!! Everything tasted so good together! The biscuit is so delicious and the caramelized onion and avocado tasted perfect with the fluffy eggs! I have to admit this no meat breakfast was perfect. Lavender latte is solid too. Overall a nice little surprise breakfast spot read more

This a cute little place on Pill Hill with fresh sandwiches, breakfast pastries, artisan drinks, and more. I came here on the recommendation of a security guard at one of the local hospitals. I had just finished a medical appointment and wanted something very light and non-greasy to eat. Their soup of the day was minestrone soup, which hit the spot for me. It had that made-from-scratch taste to it and there were plenty of vegetables in the soup. They have lots of artisan drinks there and next time I'm in the area I'd like to try the Blue Calm, which is a Matcha latte. The drink is actually blue and I like the name Blue Calm. Service was friendly, but kind of slow. But it's definitely a place worth going back to. read more

I'm here once again at petit cafe, and once again a 5 star experience. I ordered a cappuccino this time with oat milk and i gotta say, still by far my favorite place for coffee when i'm in oakland. It's perfectly made with just the right temperature and taste. when i think of a cappuccino, this is what i think of. I also ordered an almond croissant and it's great. the powdered sugar on top was such a great addition that really enhanced the flavor. on top of the great coffee and pastry, the service is always top tier. Same guy was working the register and it's good to see that the way he greets people and makes small talk while ordering is welcoming. looking forward to the next time! as i'm typing this review a customer is laughing, that dude treats everyone the same, it's great. if you're in oakland, give this place a try, also make sure to leave a review cause more people need to know about this, not just the casual passer by read more

I had an appt with my Dr and had some time to kill. Found this cute little place via Yelp so had to let everyone know the previews have been spot on. The employees were super friendly and engaging I love me some pickled onions and had the bagel plate. Very tasty! They also have a really nice assortment of more unusual espresso drinks like rose cardamom, lavender and vanilla bean matcha. I chose dark chocolate chili and it did not disappoint. Love the spice! Only downside is that it isn't closer to where I live! read more

This is a darling cafe with a charming local vibe conveniently located in The Sutter Health complex.

I have been here twice. Everytime I visit the oral surgeon, i always go here which is next door. First time I was here I got the rose cardamom latte which was superb. Second time I went here was yesterday, and I got the berry and basil smoothie which was delicious . Not too sweet which I like and it had fresh basil in it. What's most memorable about this place is not only their drinks and food, but the lovely, and kind barista who always made my drinks . She has a beautiful soul read more

Petit Cafe had a rough start two years ago and had to close during the pandemic. Cute spot for the workmanlike hospital district known as Pill Hill. Petit Cafe can be found at the top of the historic hill. I'll start with the coffee since it's a café. Absolutely delicious. Four dollars for a cup so it's not cheap, but really tasty. Ritual, I think. But what really blew me away last time I went was the food. I had an extremely delicious breakfast biscuit with egg. It was topped by a nice onion relish. Soft egg and a smashed, well-spread avocado. Excellent biscuit. Total winner. I'm very curious to try to lunch sometime. Nice, clean space. Always nice folks behind the counter. There's a long counter with stools along the window and a couple of tables in the back. Sometimes there are two or three tables outside. Whether you work near here or are just coming through for an appointment, it's a cut above your average coffee spot. Check it out! read more
