    I like coming here whenever I get the chance. I always get anything Mexican Chocolate related because I love it in drinks. I got a small and finished it. When I'm nearby and want coffee I always come here. They also have sufficient tables which I think people who love working at cafes would benefit from. Def recommend to try!

    Horchata Latte

    Perfect spot to have a work break with great horchata latte, ginger scone, and strong wi-fi.

    Small Horchata Latte with whole milk (hot version)
    Rose T.

    I was early for a meeting, so decided to pop in for a coffee. Established in 2008, this is the only NorCal location of this SoCal based coffee chain, which features Latin inspired drinks. Even though the ceiling looked run down, the chandeliers, plants, wooden furniture, and Latin music made the space cozy. There was construction going on right outside, but the noise wasn't too noticeable. I saw a stack of boxes behind the register from Starter Bakery, so they probably source most (if not all) their pastries from there. There was a short line but it moved quickly and it didn't take long for me to receive my latte. Throughout the time I was there, there was a steady line of customers so it seemed like a local favorite. I ordered a small Horchata Latte with whole milk ($5.25). I asked the cashier, and he said it was on the sweeter side. He suggested 50% sweetness, which I went with. +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Not too sweet: Creamy and nutty w/cinnamon -Espresso could be stronger. -All drinks served in paper to-go cups with paper sleeves: Ceramic mugs would be a great option for people who want to stay. -No latte art Side notes: 1.) Restrooms available for customers. 2.) Outlets available 3.) Self-serve napkins and condiments 4.) Across the street from Uptown Transit Center Verdict: 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 d/t service. The cashier with a man bun was really friendly. Since the menu is just a placard next the cashier, you can't see it unless if you're there. He didn't rush anyone and told them to take their time. In addition, he asked if it was my first time (it was), offered recommendations, and thanked me after I ordered. Even though it's not the best horchata latte I've had (my fave one is in Berkeley), the friendly service and cozy vibes make me want to return the next time I'm in the area!

    I recently started working down the street and am trying to find a solid coffee spot. I stopped in on a Thursday morning and was pleased to see it was poppin'. It's not quiet, so I wouldn't recommend coming here for focus work, but there's lots of seating and a few communal tables that were being used. They have a large drink menu and I got the horchata latte and two pastries. I think I would have loved the pastries warmed up, so that's my fault for saying no, but they were flavorful room temp. And I really liked the horchata latte. Prices were reasonable and I'll definitely be back!

    Amazing vibe and coffee with wonderful customer service. I enjoy almond milk and they were able to substitute it in my order. Much appreciated!

    Stopped by on a Friday morning. I have not been here in over 5 years but I'm so glad I came back today. We got the horchata lattes and they are just as delicious as I remember them to be. Definitely will be back again. They also have really good frappes as well. Kind staff, nice location and lots of seating inside and WiFi. Love supporting my local Oakland businesses :)

    Nice clean place to grab something on your way to work or to chill here. Delicious things to eat, and the vibe is great

    Espresso
    Felix W.

    I got an espresso. I wouldn't go back for espresso. It had crema but the flavor was burnt and bitter, 2/5. If you're looking for espresso alone, try the place down the street kinfolx.

    Tierra Mia is one of the best places to get your coffee fix! Everything here is so good including the pastries! My go-to is usually and iced vanilla coffee which is super smooth and tasty or a matcha latte! Ther service is super quick. You can mobile order for an on-the-go experience, but it does definitely get busy around lunch time! However I've never had any complaints with coming here. The ambiance is great! The interior is really chic and clean, with a good amount of space to sit- to work, have a chat, etc! Honestly love it here!

    Three Large Horchata Frappe's
    Ryan B.

    Been coming here for years and they've always provided top of the line products and service that makes you want to come back for more. The Horchata Frappe tends to be their staple and the main reason my friends and I have continued to return here for nearly a decade. They also serve other coffee options and also pastries that are fresh and delivered to them daily. Environment wise this is a great location to meet others, do desk work, study, or just relax, on any given day. Parking can be an issue depending on the day and time, but regardless, it's always been worth dealing with the hassle. I will continue to come here, and I have no intention of ever stopping. 5/5.

    Iced horchata latte
    Mia B.

    Love love love this place! I've been going to Tierra Mia Coffee since I was young, and every location is so consistently amazing. I got the horchata latte with oat milk, and the flavor was perfectly sweet and cinnamonny. I wish they had their tres leches muffin in stock when I went in because it would've made the perfect combo!

    Very unique inside and open. Staff were friendly to help out with me and my order. They pastries were amazing and the coffee was incredible. I always try to visit mom and pop coffee shops when traveling for work. That's where you find the best around.

    Came in here before a meeting at nearby union hall, I ordered the horchata coffee and a bacon-onion croissant. The croissant was so flavorful and delicious The coffee was the perfect not too sweet treat in the morning. The building was an older building and had cool character Cashiers & Baristas were all super friendly. Cant wait to go back again

There are glass cases full of breads, cakes, eclairs, tarts and other delicious looking baked goods. On the top of the cases are jars with a variety of cookies to choose from, as well as, one of my favorites, their lemon shortbread bar. The lemon shortbread bar is amazing. They stack the wedges in a large lidded glass jar, each wedge separated with a sheet of white parchment paper. I believe this is one of the hidden gems at La Farine. The shortbread crust Is tender and buttery and hold holds it shape well when you bite into it. The lemon curd is creamy with the right amount of tang, and there is a thin sweet layer of crunch on top of curd that puts this bar over the top. The balance of textures and flavors is perfect. I also highly recommend the chocolate eclairs. Each one is filled with a generous amount of piped whipped cream, a pate choux with good flavor and texture, and topped with a rich, silky layer of chocolate ganache. Overall their prices are reasonable -lemon shortbread bar $3, and chocolate eclair 3.50. I decided to give La Farine four stars because on a previous visit I had a slice of the Moka cake, and was not impressed. It is an attractive and delicious looking cake with lovely pale moka colored frosting surrounding layers of dark chocolate cake, however, the frosting lacked the coffee and chocolate flavor combo that I was looking forward to, and sadly the frosting was more waxy than creamy. That being said, I will definitely be back to search for the next delicious gems at this very lovely bakery on Piedmont Ave.

Sometimes, the pizzas are a little overcooked which causes the crust to be extra crispy and a little burnt. But it doesn't change the deliciousness of it. It doesn't matter what they put on the pizza of the day, I know it's going to be tasty. Arizmendi's pizza 100% makes me forget about meat on pizza. I have tried a couple of their baked goods, which have always been good as well. They also have soups of the day, which I surprisingly haven't tried. If you're ordering more than 1 pizza, I'd recommend calling ahead of time so that you don't have to wait a while. There's typically 2 cashiers, always a small line, but you'd be in and out under 30 minutes max. No music, just the sounds of pure hustle trying to get everyone served. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating so keep that in mind. Parking may be tricky as well as there are a lot of surrounding businesses.

Everyone has causes they care about, and many of us do our own advocacy in different ways, but not everyone wants to sign petitions while trying to cross the street or grab lunch. Today, one person became very insistent when I politely declined. He then accused me (and apparently others) of not wanting to engage because of his skin color, which was completely inappropriate and inaccurate. My decision had nothing to do with our skin .. I simply was not interested in signing anything or stopping to discuss a petition at that moment. It escalated to the point where two other women nearby also felt uncomfortable enough to respond. One said, "This is not the way to do it," and another said, "I don't even have money." It was unfortunate that his approach put people in that position. Just a heads up for anyone visiting: be prepared to be approached at the crosswalk, especially since the light can be long. On a positive note: the pizzeria itself was busy, but everyone inside was pleasant, I found a quiet corner to sit, the coffee was warm, and my $3 slice and $1.25 coffee hit the spot.
