Today's sandwich was better than the last time. Proper sandwich with right ratio and seasonings. The iced americano was strong and smooth. Prefer a little more acidic coffee instead of full dark roast but still excellent. read more

Great Cuban sandwich. Extremely friendly and helpful service. Comfortable seating. I'll be back.

Good Service! Love their Iced Cinnamon Caramel Latte and the Spicy Cuban. The owner is very nice!

We love Olivia and Evan! Service is impeccable, food is delightful, cafe is nice and clean! We love coming here!

Came over from Woody's laundromat to get a breakfast sandwich. Chose the croissant egg & cheese (no meat, please...but there were meat options). The people who work here are super friendly and it's a cozy little shop. I ate my sandwich there and it was yummy and they have a few nice seating options so you can choose where you'll be most comfy. If I come back and try the coffee and/or more food options I could see increasing to 5 stars. Just remember your washer probably doesn't take more than 23 minutes so time it out just right. read more

One of best staples in the Lake Merritt, Park Boulevard area! The owner Robert is a welcoming, honest working man who shows up daily to serve his community.

Woody's Cafe - Monthly free puzzle exchange! Great community-building activity! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

I've just discovered this place this week, my only regret is that I hadn't come across it sooner. I'm in LOVE with the tuna melt lol. They cook it panini style, so freaking good. The latte's are also very good. The first time it was a Hispanic woman working at the counter and today a younger Asian man. The customer service was top tier, both of them were so kind, upbeat, professional and happy. I've had 10/10 experience both times. I work super close, so I very much see myself become a regular there. My coffee and sandwich were only $18 with this economy lol, you can't beat it. read more

Their mochalatta and their spicy cuban sandwich is fire! Right next door to woody's laundromat, across a dispensary, lots of eye catching things inside of their cafe. Dog friendly apparently, as some other patron brought their dog inside to do homework. Great food and didn't break my pockets. Girlfriend enjoyed the taro latte, the turkey panini sandwich, too! read more

I really like Woody's Cafe. They've always had great service, and I enjoy their drinks. Today I'm trying the 8 Treasure Tea and it's fantastic! I'm a loose leaf tea person and this is absolutely delightful, very flavorful. I always appreciate reading the chalkboard wisdom Robert Ma offers. Definitely a great cafe to visit whether it's laundry day or not. read more

Such a pleasant space to get coffee and a sandwich! Interior decor is intricate and homely. I liked waiting here while I sipped my coffee. The cashier was so nice!! She asked if my friend's dog wanted a treat. Bagel and coffee ready in a timely manner. Despite two other customers ahead of me, I had my bagel in less than 10 minutes! Thanks Woody's! This was so convenient along my walk. Excellent spot, coffee light roast with sugar and medium half&half cream. My coffee was thoroughly stirred with a spoon by the cashier. Maaaan I give that cup a 5/5 able to sip within a few minutes of waiting. Would come here again, and take pictures of my food! read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. The service was terrible, and both staff members had a bad attitude. I left completely unhappy and disappointed.And plus there coffe is not hot enough terrible! And when I asked for hot chocolate for my son he gave me this attitude as well I felt completely shocked how he respond and reacted and didn't end up ordering it! read more

Well, I stopped by to pick up some coffee and food and I was not disappointed. I got the spicy torta cubana... omg it was delicious and exceeded my expectations. I also got an iced latte with an extra shot. The space was clean and the customer service was great, very welcoming and friendly. If your in the area stop by, its worth it! read more

Someone posted that the coffee here was no frills. I'm not sure what they meant by that but when i took my first sip I was ready to start my day. They have the basics which is all you need because their coffee is excellent. They have bomb smoothies too!! read more

I have been going to Woody's Cafe, off and on, in the last three years. My hair stylist works on Park Avenue and sometimes I will go to Woody's to get a coffee after my appointments. Yesterday I went to Woody's and I was bit disappointed with my visit. There were two employees (from what I could see), working - a cashier who also made the coffee drinks and the food preparer. It was obvious the cashier was getting stressed with the amount of orders they were getting. At one point, I overheard the cashier speaking to the food preparer in a way that I thought was very inappropriate for their customer's to see. It sounded like the food preparer was asking the cashier questions on how to make something. Right away, the cashier snapped at her and said that it wasn't a good time to be asking because there was a line, and they could go over it later. His tone was very inappropriate too. I think the cashier could have replied saying something like let's talk about this later since we're a bit busy. I wanted to mention this because it's possible other customers heard this conversation as well - it was definitely an "eye-raising" moment. I hope you can use this as a training opportunity. read more

Super cute local spot. Quick service and decent menu. They're a grab n go spot but have seating inside to get work done or hangout. Love this place! read more

This seems like a community spot so I'm baffled by why they are lying about the bathrooms being out of service. The sign is definitely over 6 months old and both bathrooms in the cafe and laundromat are 'out of service'. This is dodgy at best given that they have seating areas in the restaurant and they don't advertise takeout only. We got breakfast sandwiches, not great. One had no sauce and the other had an overpowering garlic sauce. Might have been better fresh but we had to dash out to find a public restroom so hard to say. read more

I love Woody's! The staff is always so friendly! Every time I go in for coffee or food, they'll ask me how the kids are doing! And they really do want to hear how things are in your life. I guess that's why they have so many regulars! And the owner is always around and having random conversation with folks. If it gets busy though, you'll definitely see him get behind the counter. My favorite items are: the grilled cheese sandwich and the tuna panini. The grilled cheese is usually on like a ciabatta or sourdough. And it's a little fancy with slices of tomato. But, they usually will ask if you want tomato or not. The tuna panini is the BEST I've ever had! This is the only place my daughters and I will eat it from! We usually get it with the salad. Basic, but the balsamic vinaigrette is yummy! We could be across town craving a tuna panini. So, we'll call in our order. Sometimes, they are out of tuna, and that'll kill our craving. But, when they have it, I'm there! read more

The staff is very welcoming. I usually get the vanilla latte and turkey sandwich with pesto.

Holy cow this bacon croissant is hella bomb !! I'm still in the cafe and couldn't wait to post this. Definitely recommend the breakfast croissant. Flavorful, crispy all around and a soft inner (that croissant texture) Definitely made my day. read more

This place is so cute, love the eclectic style they have going. The food is great! It's perfect for a grab and go type deal, and great to sit down as well. Service was very fast. read more

The staff are extremely friendly and their coffee is delicious. Beware that the espresso is stronger than your chain coffee shop so tread carefully. I tried the bacon, egg and cheese croissant as well as the bacon, egg and cheese bagel and I have to say, while they are both delicious, the croissant won me over and will be seeing me again. The place has cute decor and is located on a fairly busy street. Parking isn't usually too bad but is limited. read more

Delicious food. A* customer service. Woody's makes a mean breakfast sandwich and latte (with a variety of milk options). They also make lunch and have a modest amount snacks and cold beverages The employees are kind and welcoming. The perfect neighborhood food spot! Can't beat it. read more

Woody's is a rock solid cafe. Upon walking in the Turk (I know this because I asked where he is from and he said Turkey) behind the counter met us with a huge smile and jovial greeting. In fact, he was so nice I had to wonder for a second where he gets his prozac and how do I get some. My boyfriend and I had our laundry going next door and decided to take advantage of the cafe while waiting. We both ordered sandwiches and drinks which came to about $21. The sandwiches were really good. Perfectly toasted and they come with a small portions of greens on the side. The only complaint I have is about the ciabatta. It was delicious and all, but I hate how it cuts up the roof of my mouth. The free wifi is always a draw and overall I must say that this place is pretty great. I really can't get over how friendly the staff is! read more

Nothing but love for this neighborhood gem. Friendly staff, cute space, comfy chairs, cute and quick tasty sammys.

Rob is amazing! I love Woody's Cafe, one of the best coffee shops in Oakland, California. The customer service that I receive here and the cashiers are very nice. I love coming here because the environment is very calm, relaxing, and chill. Nothing but laughter and lots of fun from moma and daughter we love you rob!!! read more

3.5 for friendly service. The coffee is strong and the food is good, but man, this place is shockingly expensive. A large iced vanilla latte with oat milk ran me $7.50 and their breakfast sandwich is nearly $10. Add a tip in there and you're paying $20 to start your morning. Inflation is the worst! read more

Awesome neighborhood cafe that delivers you to another world as soon as you walk in. The outside traffic and people are totally gone. I'm sipping in my chai tea latte in bliss, as much bliss a person studying could be in. The prices are okay...reasonable. There are plenty of outlets and free wi-fi. I'll be back again, so satisfied! Notes: -Free Parking is for Laundry customers only but side street parking is always plenty -$5 minimum charge on cards read more

This was one of the only cafes that was open before 8am on a Sunday, so we came here for breakfast. The atmosphere is relaxed and the barista behind the counter was very nice. There is a decent amount of seating indoors. Our coffee came quickly but our breakfast sandwiches took 10 minutes or so even though we were pretty much the only customers. It didn't bother us, but I imagine it might take a while to get food during busy times. The prices are okay, pretty average for the area. We spent about $20 for breakfast and coffee for two people. read more

Great local spot with good menu, fair prices, good coffee, and good food. Also has a very nice, authentically local and unpretentious vibe, unlike a certain gentrifying coffee shop across the street. The breakfast croissants are delicious and generous. read more

This cafe pretty much meets all my requirements for a great place to work. It's clean, bright, and pretty roomy. There are lots of different seating options, including small tables, large tables, high counter tables, and sofas. The wifi is free and fast. They have food which I thought was a little bit pricey, but portions are large, so it's worth it. The Cuban sandwich and iced latte I ordered were delicious. Classic rock music was playing in the background, loud enough to hear but not to distract. The owners are super friendly and it was clear that they know their regulars. Although I like to check out new shops as much as possible, I do plan to become one of their regulars here! read more

This place got to go their coffee is getting worse looks like not genuine! The beans taste different the last time I was there! Their sandwiches and pastries are in lower grade too ! Perhaps they didn't uses the highest quality ingredients to make the food. It is important to maintain freshness and high quality in order to be edible. I am kind of disappointed more on the coffee and hope they would fix that! read more

I happen across Woodys Cafe after seeing a review on Nextdoor during the "lockdown". I live 1/2 a block from a Starbucks, but it was closed...so I ventured out to Woody's and am so glad that I did!
