I was excited when Timeless Coffee opened it's second location next to Senior Sisig and quickly became an established "third place" in Downtown. It felt like a great spot to grab a coffee, and munch down on some *excellent* vegan pastries (*drool* faux-Twix bars *drool*). That said, about a year ago, I witnessed a concerning incident while in line. An unhoused individual entered, wielding a metal stick, and it was clear the staff knew him. They immediately said something like, "Sorry, don't have any extra today." Welp, bad choice of words. He became increasingly agitated, mumbling incoherently , relentlessly tapping on the pastry case and swinging the stick. Everyone froze, expecting the staff to step in, but they... did nothing. Instead, the individual walked away with a "donation." If your establishments wants to feed, or support the unhoused that's great. But maybe, just maybe, you should establish some protocols around this. I haven't returned since, and I live just a few blocks down the street. read more

Dairy free. I love dairy so I probably won't be back. Easy to spot. Located at a corner. Friendly service. Pricey. $14 for a sandwich that's been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long. $7 for matcha latte. read more

I've always loved Timeless, first at the Piedmont location, then the Elmwood one (which sadly shut down), and now the one near my office in downtown Oakland. Normally the staff has been super chill and friendly and queer-positive (I'm trans) at all locations. But today, the two staff members were really unconscionably rude to me in a way I've never seen at a Timeless location before (or really any place in Oakland. It was astonishing.) Not sure I'm ever going back. Such a shame, because I've liked them up to this point. read more

Good ambience and latte! Came here on a Thursday morning to work and I got a latte with oat milk. The staff are friendly and the service is fast. As of now, this place still requires vaccination proof for dine-in. The latte is smooth and creamy with the oat milk and the coffee has a nutty note to it. The place is clean and spacious with plenty of tables and chairs. It's also well lit so perfect to work or chat with friends. I really like the pastry case this place has upon walking into the coffee shop. This place has a variety of food selections from savory to sweet. I will come back to try them next time! Note: wifi is not available here read more

First time coming here after always passing by it to go to work and I was surprised that it was a vegan shop! Not a problem since I like alternative milk, so it worked out. The person that helped me was very helpful in trying to help me order for someone who doesn't like alternative milk and they ended up loving the drink! Very clean space, and fast service - will be coming back! read more

It wasn't a great experience at timeless! I order two coffee and one pastry, the cashier ask me if I want the pastry heated up and I said if the pastry from today no need but if from yesterday yes! (I wasn't trying to be rude) So she heat up my pastry and gave it to me! Than she went to the espresso area where the barista was preparing my drink and grabbed the espresso shot and just dumped milk on top! No leaf or heart zero love was spent on my drink :( So $6.50 for an espresso topped with milk wasn't worth it! And I'm glad I left tip otherwise I don't know what I was gonna get! read more

This coffee shop is the best in so many ways. The Oakland location is only a 5 min walk from Lake Merritt, perfect pit stop before a walk around the lake. Their products are not only 100% plant-based but super delicious. They have created something so original and a must try spot. Only reason I give them 4 stars is because I wish they had a large cup lol because sometimes I just need that extra caffeine. read more

That was I mistake going to this place I asked to the barista to do only one shot of espresso on my coffee before he starting making it and he rejected, he said no I can't the latte comes with two you need to order another latte and specify what to the cashier so I can make it whit only one shot, They made me pay for two cups of coffee after I gave him one to trow it away because I only wanted one that was the expensive $11 dollars cup of coffee that I should never bought read more

This is a chill spot to sip on great coffee and a relaxed vibe. There's a few spots to journal, read, or handout. They have a few items to choose from, but it's a simple menu. They have a variety of sweet and savory patries. The baristas are friendly and amaziy at what they do! I love all the lighting the place gets. Their restrooma are also clean. Highly recommend this place! read more

Timeless Coffee - Reading with my pastry and iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

A nice spot, I'd come back with a friend, or bring a laptop to do some work. Seating - tons of seating on a Monday morning. And large tables. Size does matter. Would make a good study/work spot. Ambience - COLD. Although this is subjective I suppose. Not sure why they had their AC on but I was shivering sipping my cold brew...had the effect of an ice bath. It woke me up but felt unpleasant. The actual ambience was relaxing like most modern-ish Oakland cafés. The wood brightened the whole space up. Coffee - delish. I got a vanilla cold brew. It was pre-sweetened. I'll ask for the sweetness to be lowered next time. read more

Timeless Coffee is another coffee option in Uptown. as i didn't have a proper parking space, i just wanted to get in & out quickly. as i didn't see a posted menu, i ordered cold brew- too hot to drink my usual dark roast coffee. service was quick & attentive. while i didn't enjoy my purchases 100%, there wasn't any problems with them. they weren't my kind of eats/drinks. brew: cold brew (4.50): not my kind of coffee, didn't like peet's nor starbucks either. will skip others in the future. eats: vegan chocolate chip cookie (3) -big cookie, great value. good texture, way too sweet! not a lot of chocolate taste. read more

Ah Timeless...teasing me with a new location, but unfortunately not in SF. Still, like any of their locations, it is worth the extra distance. And what's great about this one (if you're coming from SF) is that it's their closest location to BART yet. Less than a 10 min walk from the station (or just a couple min's on bike!) This location has a very polished look, a little bit of a departure (in my mind) from the other two stores, but not in a bad way. It's also very spacious; even after the remodel on Piedmont, this location feels more open. But of course, all the Timeless goodness that you're accustomed to at the other locations lives on at Webster. They have delicious pastries like danishes, scones, and donuts, more savory items like empanadas, frittatas, and breakfast sandwiches, and amazing slices of cake. Regardless of your mood, they've got you covered and you will not leave unsatisfied. I normally do pre-orders and take my food back to the city, but I am looking forward to spending some time enjoying a cuppa and a pastry inside in the future. Also crossing my fingers that they keep expanding westward (hint hint.) read more

Not a bad place! Coffee was decent. Not the best but it was good. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they don't have any signs stating their vegan. I'm cool with oat milk but I took my cow milk drinking boyfriend sooooo. Whoops. read more

I had been wanting to try this vegan cafe for a while and finally got a chance to visit on a Saturday morning. It definitely did not disappoint! My order: - breakfast sandwich: yum! It had vegan cheese, just egg and impossible sausage. I really liked the combo. - cherry Danish - good - cappuccino with oat milk: it was okay. I have had better oat milk cappuccinos. Overall, it's a great cafe for vegan goodies. I'll have to visit again to try out other items on their menu. read more

We knew we had to order Timeless cakes for our vegan wedding in July 2025 because Timeless is our favorite cafe and bakery! They made us a two tier vanilla cake with vanilla frosting with a house-made raspberry jam filling (see picture below). Emailing with Diana to customize our order was easy and she was very responsive. We sent her inspiration photos and our floral color pallet and they procured the flowers to decorate the cake. Cake pick up on the day of the wedding was very easy as well. Their staff helped load the cake in the car and our venue was only a few minutes away so transportation was easy. When we first saw the cake before our cake cutting we were blown away with how beautiful it was and how it matched our exact idea of what we envisioned. The cake was delicious! Beyond this cake we also ordered two other half sheet cakes- a lemon cake with lemon frosting and a vanilla cake with pink strawberry frosting and fresh strawberry filling, which were also amazing! We were told by multiple guests that it was the best wedding cake they had ever eaten and were also blown away that it was vegan! I can't recommend Timeless enough to make a decorative cake for any special day or celebration. read more

Not worth it! $7 for a 4oz drink is crazy! This cafe is definitely targets customers who make at least 6-figures annually because who is actually spending $7 for lattes/coffee/teas that are smaller than a tall drink at Starbucks?? Yikes! Lastly, the drinks are mid and the workers are very tamed. read more

So I was so ready to make this place my new work place since it's sooo close to my house but I realized after ordering and not getting it to-go that there's no wifi here. I just assumed all coffee place have wifi? Wonder why they don't have here maybe they want folks to get in/out and not linger? Also a "we don't have wifi" sign would also help I think so folks know ahead of time. Nonetheless, coffee is great (also a little steep) but also parking is hard to find since it's downtown. They have cakes and desserts type of things. My pesto bun is just ok. They warmed it up without asking. Had to go back to my place and pack my stuff. Hoping to get stuff done! Lol. read more

Pretty nice coffee shop to chill at, I heard they are vegan, more on the pricy side, but kinda worth it for the environment I like how their matcha doesn't have added sugar in it, which the ones at Starbucks usually do.

The pastries from here are SO good! I went a couple of days ago and I still think about the pastries everyday lol. The bear claw was good but I wish I would've gotten there earlier because I could tell it wasn't fresh, which is fine considering I got there like an hour before closing. The cake was insanely good and I would definitely recommend trying it if you have a sweet tooth like me. I thought the coffee was good but idk if I'm qualified to say anything more since I'm not a huge coffee person. The staff were friendly but ambiance was meh. I probably wouldn't just chill and drink or eat my coffee and pastries in here. I think the place just felt cold and empty which isn't what I look for in a coffee shop. It felt more like a cafeteria to put in the best way possible, and I like coffee shops to feel cozy and lay back. Anyway, I would definitely come back for the food! read more

I regret not reading other's reviews before coming here to work for the afternoon. Ordered an overpriced oat milk latte (which was very tasty) but settled into a seat, opened my laptop, and realized there's no WiFi nor any outlets.

(This review is for the new location in Jack London Square, but since there's no business for it, I'll leave this here) Really nice corner coffee shop recognizable from this black and gold scorpion on the sign! (I'm curious to know the origin of the logo, but that's a question for a different day.) The staff was friendly and the shop aesthetic is incredibly modern/open. Ordered the classic black coffee which was incredibly enjoyable! Certainly a light roast with notes of almond and almost a honey sweetness to it. I've not had many light roasts with this fullness of flavor without being overpowering. Long lasting vanilla which almost reminds me of those "nilla" cookies and leaves you wanting to take another sip. I appreciate that it's not watered down but fully and wholly coffee without the bitterness you can find in some roasts. TL;DR: Those new to ordering plain coffee will find an easy-drinking beverage here packed with refreshing flavor. read more

Timeless Coffee - A timeless cup of plain, drip coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Timeless Coffee.... the incognito plant-based coffee shop with ALL the conventional coffee shop offerings except everything single item is VEGAN! I can never sing enough praises of this humble establishment. I've purchased cakes and pastries for vegans and non-vegans alike and everyone simply loves their tasty treats. During my first visit to this location, I went home with a box of all the good things- chocolate donut, cinnamon sugar donut, maple donut, peanutbutter cookie, snickerdoodle, thumb print cookie (with toasted walnuts!!!), frittata, everything bagel roll, and cinnamon roll. This box of treats were split up and shared among vegan friends who thoroughly enjoyed these tasty bites. I can't even pin down a favorite as everything is so crave-worthy! If you're able to stop in early in the day, the donuts are extremely fluffy and have a bit of a bite. Think - mochi donut x raised donut's lovechild. I have no idea what their bakers do differently with the donut batter but these definitely are worth a try! Timeless rotates their flavors so you'll always have something new to look forward to. Now to the coffee. The barista's here really care about their coffee craft. I've only had fantastic coffee with the sweetness dialed in just right whenever I order specialty drinks. Timeless also offers an array of coffee beans and coffee brewing accessories + MiiR cups! If you're fortunate enough to be in the area, stop by to experience this amazing little shop + their friendly service. You'll be glad you did! read more

Be warned: IT'S ALL VEGAN!! Zero dairy. You can't order a proper latte. Only fake milks. I ordered a croissant for my son but took one bite first and almost barfed. Not sure what they are using instead of real butter but it tastes super processed and chemical-ly. Three stars because my drip coffee was actually really good! read more

Timeless is a staple of the vegan scene in Oakland and Berkeley. I like its reliability and variety of options. The breakfast sandwich ($8) was fine, but not memorable. The English muffin was weirdly starchy, and the other ingredients (Just Egg, Follow Your Heart cheese, Beyond patty) are so boringly ubiquitous as to not warrant attention. You can get a much better rendition of this reheated frozen foods conglomeration at Peet's for $2 cheaper. The scones ($3.25) are excellent: not too dry, not too cookie-like. The butter croissant ($4.25) wasn't bad. I've had better vegan croissants elsewhere, but they're hard to find (including at Timeless, which only offers them on the weekends), so I won't complain too much. The ham and cheese croissant ($5.25) had better pastry texture, but I didn't like the Taiwanese ham, which tastes and smells too real (I wonder what artificial flavors they use to make it that way). Lastly, they do a good job with their cakes and cookies and pies and cheesecakes (though I think the Butcher's Son cheesecakes are better). Stop by Timeless for a respectable vegan dessert or savory treat. read more

I like their food but don't like going in as their staff is rude. Just ordered on uber eats instead, selected refund if an item isn't available.

There are so few vegan options in Oakland, why can't the ones we have treat their customers decent? read more

Came here before work one day and got myself an almond croissant and vanilla latte. The latte was creamy, but nothing that blew me away. The croissant was nice and flakey, yet also not impressive. It was a bit pricey, but that's kind of expected with a big city cafe. It took a while for my latte to come out, but it's understandable since morning before work are always such a hassle for any cafe. The shop itself is clean and pretty spacious, probably a good spot for studying in my opinion. Other than that, Timeless is just ok to me. read more

So when I go to different cities I try different coffee places. This is my first time in Oakland and I chose Timeless. It did not disappoint. I got a vanilla flavored cold brew and a raspberry donut. Normally, I always have to add sugar, but this coffee was perfect and needed absolutely nothing added to it. Additionally, the raspberry frosting on the donut was amazing (they make it in house). The donut had kind of a sourdough texture to it (but not a sourdough flavor), which I love and now I wish every donut had this texture. read more
