    Couldn't help but want to show my sister how cute Sweet July is! This is not only a coffee/tea shop, but also a small business shop. After my first experience here last month, I also wanted to share this experience with my sister as well. My first time here was wonderful. The staff were super nice when it came to recommendations and what drink to pair which syrup with. Because I was curious about some of the ingredients, one of the staff also showed me what each ingredient looked like when they were brewing my Chai. How cool is that! I love the seat setup too. They have a couple soft seats for individuals, but also a communal table for larger groups. The interior of this place is so aesthetically pleasing! From the cozy looking blankets, to the collapsible cups, I feel like everything spells quality here! Today, my sister and I both each got a cup of their Masala Chai with oat milk and Soul Warmer sugar (recommended by a staff last time). It's not so sweet, but has a comforting warm taste to it. It's a tad on the light side, but nonetheless, this was such a nice treat on a cozy day. 10/10 would recommend!

    Sweet July- holds a special place in the mother of three's founder Ayesha Curry. Super chic atmosphere. I love how local small business are incorporated into the store. You have Ayesha cookware line is showcased, along with her dripped coffee, scented candles, books, fragrances, apparel, and other knickknacks by the community. The coffee is strong but worth the visit.

    This is Aisha Curry's place. The decor is so cute. I love that they work with black artists in different fields. They have several flavored coffees, teas and wonderful danishes and cookies. It's a nice place to relax and chill with a couple of friends or to get out of the house amongst others to do some work. I was sincerely impressed with the place. Can't wait to go back. I also wanted to add that, we were there on Mother's day. The real treat was that our drinks were free. So very thankful for that!

    This is a very nice and cozy coffee shop. It's a blend of a coffee shop to shop with all the different small business brands. I love the support and their concept. It's very nice to just shop and sit their table or couch after their coffee and tea. The morning tea is really delicious and drip coffee is not as bad as well. Happy 2nd anniversary to them as well!

    Interior so cute

    Happened upon this fantastic business when in Oakland. The spirit and vibe of the store was welcoming and inspiring. To highlight women owned business and brand! I'm all onboard! Did I say my tea was excellent. Clean restroom (after a two hour Drive in morning) just all good! Will definitely return.

    Haven't really explored this side of the bay but as a big coffee connoisseur, I just had to try it. I seriously loved the cultural art all around the coffee shop, as well as the aesthetics! The barista that helped me was so helpful when it came down to ordering which drink and flavor to choose from. Honestly, I didn't care too much for the drink I ordered, only bc it was kinda watery but I'm down to give this place another chance and try the other drinks they have to offer. 4.5 only bc I probably ordered the wrong drink!

    Came here yesterday on a Saturday afternoon and I already want to go back! It has such a cozy atmosphere and beautiful decor. I ordered an iced drip coffee with sweet thang sugar. Requested for half pumps of sugar and it was perfect. The cashier was friendly and answered our menu questions. There were nice home good items to shop for too. I wanted them all! Sat down at the couch and just caught up with my friend. Great spot for coffee hangouts. The only downside is that there's limited seating (long table, couch, some chairs). I didn't see any outlets so not ideal for studying. The restroom was clean and nicely decorated. Street parking only. Highly recommend!

    Visited with my friend and found parking right away at a meter right next to the store. Our goal overall was to get some coffee and we definitely got a great fix! The coffee blend taste really balanced and not too bitter but definitely strong enough for our liking! We were really satisfied with the experience and the aesthetic environment of the store overall! Pricing was very reasonable as well, which I was happy about. For the 12oz and a banana nut muffin I paid around $8 which is a better deal compared to other places.

    Hi Yelp Fam: Kat here with yet another cafe review! Super excited for this as it Ayesha Curry's new pop up store. Ayesha, although doesn't live in the area, wanted to create a welcoming women of color empowerment safe space for those to gather, shop, eat, and enjoy a cup of Joe. Aesthetics of the indoors are beautiful and flawlessly color coordinated Parking: metered but there is a nice security guard that may watch your car for you if you as nicely Bay windows to easily do people watching Light selection of pastries including rum apple bread pudding (not pictured) and drip coffees and teas. Please support small business and visit this blossoming year old beautiful space cheers !

    Loved the service from the ladies at the coffee bar - pleasant, happy and very welcoming. The drip coffee .. also amazing. The vibe of the shop overall is inviting. It's an open space with different kinds of merchandise to choose from like clothing, coffee, home goods and books. I really loved the artwork and the color scheme of the store gives it an airiness which reminds me of Anthropology.

    What a beautiful store. All the products are well curated to create a certain store aesthetic and theme. There is a coffee corner with a basic albeit well-done selection of either hot or iced coffee. There are a number of unique syrups made in store that you can add to the coffee. The barista recommended Lavender Fields and it did not disappoint. The amount they added was perfect for my taste and not overly sweet. I love that you can mill around and take your coffee anywhere in the store. There's a sofa, several seats, and picnic-style bench. Even the bathroom is cute. Last but not least, every person who works here is extremely welcoming and friendly including the security guard at the door who welcomes you in.

    I feel quite intimidated posting this especially since Sweet July was beautifully created and founded by lovely Ayesha Curry and most of these reviews are 4/5 stars. However, I just gotta be real about my thoughts/experience. *What we ordered (Drinks are customizable): -1 large Iced Coffee w/ "Cup of Luck" (Irish Cream) Sugar & Whole Milk (5/10 rating) -1 small Iced Tea w/ "Mint Leaf" (Mint Simple Syrup) Sugar (7/10 rating) -1 Banana Pudding (7/10 rating) -1 Almond Croissant (8/10 rating) *How to order your drink: 1) Choose your drink base (Hot coffee? Iced Tea? Iced Latte? Etc.) 2) Choose your choice of Dairy 3) Choose your choice of Sugar 4) Choose the size of your drink between Small or Large *Pros: -Store aesthetics -Pastries -Dog friendly -Touchless Payment -Clean/COVID precautions spot on -Good choice of music (SZA, other R&B artists during the time we went hehe) -Kind staff *Cons: -Caffe drinks (ironically) -Parking Right away, you automatically walk in to such an aesthetically pleasing store. The color tones, the items for purchase, the font of the signs, beautiful magazine covers of Ayesha, the beautiful art work, literally every single thing in this store has such a beautiful aesthetic. It feels so light and airy when you walk inside. I loved it so much and it automatically sets such a beautiful impression. Left side of the store is for the cafe. The right side of the store is for purchasing items like magazines, house appliances, clothing, kitchenware, and much more. Staff were pretty welcoming and kind. I loved the recommendations the cashier lady was giving us. It was funny because my boyfriend ordered an Ice Tea and decided to pair it with Irish Cream sugar. The lady and I looked at each other as if it did not sound like a good combination, so she was cool enough to suggest another sugar choice haha. Now, for the star of the review...the coffee. I was so bummed with my Iced Coffee. Despite ordering an Iced coffee with Irish cream, my drink really just tasted like watery coffee and milk. I did not taste the essence and hints of Irish Cream nor was my drink sweet, not even a tad bit. I know a lot of people like their coffee to be bland and not as sweet, but to me it really just tasted like coffee and milk. The Iced Tea drink was pretty good. I tasted the floral-ness of the tea, and the mint flavor of the sugar. The pastries were pretty yummy, better than the drinks actually. Parking is primarily meter based parking. I think there is a parking lot next to the store, however I was not sure if it was for public or private business parking. Would I come back? Sure. I would love to order something else and give Sweet July another try. However, not anytime soon.

    Coffee bar, refrigerated drinks not stocked then.

    Sweet July was a visit Jan. 21th. review up shortly thereafter. curious review is gone. this is a rewrite of what i remember. many associates were on the floor to answer questions. store was in skeletal soft opening mode. coffee bar area wasn't stacked yet. clothing, home goods, cookbooks, furnishings, etc. had minimal inventory. fabulous looking shop... drink: covfefe, Sweet July blend (2..) special blend created for store -smooth, light to medium roast, tasty but not my type. -not suited for a pick me up, great for a casual sipping. this space is a few blocks up from broadway.

    Although, I am from here, I never patronized this business…read more I am so glad that I had a chance to stop by and purchase a sweater. I absolutely love the color and saying. The store is spacious and clean. Parking is a pain as it is located downtown. I love the shirt display as soon as you enter. In the back they have a dressing room for your convenience and also gear from other local artists. The young man who helped us provided great service and was knowledgeable about the product. The telephone booth is super cute to take photos. The prices are a little steep, but you really can't find a shop like this that has the bay gear and quality. I can't wait to wear my sweatshirt!

    Been a hot minute since coming into Oaklandish and walking into feels less like shopping and more…read morelike stepping into culture. The walls speak in bold prints and clean lines, telling stories of the Town and the Bay period. Every thread feels made of quality. Every piece is statement wear fasho. From classic logo tees to those lowkey designs only real Townfolk recognize, Oaklandish will have you repping the town without you saying a word. It's for the born and raised, the newly arrived, and the ones who carry Oakland in their soul, no matter where they go. I'm not an Oakland native, but I got a lot of family from Oakland. I didn't purchase anything cause they didn't have one piece in my color but it's all good. Everything is fairly priced and they have a nice selection for everyone. The one employee was hella chill and down to earth. Oaklandish isn't just a brand, it's a bridge like the Bay Bridge. Between past and present. Between hustle and heritage. Stay rooted. Stay lifted. Stay Oaklandish!!! Shoutout to the Town.
