Haddon Hill Cafe - Oakland

Phenomenal local cafe. Must try khachapuri. All baked goods are made fresh daily next door at sister restaurant leaving tower of pizza. Also serve single slice Detroit pizza from leaving tower during lunch.

Their coffee is good and their pastries are amazing!! How?? They get their baked goods from their parent restaurant, the pizza place across the street. The secret to their magic! I love the khachapuri.

This place is lovely and has enormous potential. Great atmosphere: cozy, quaint, friendly, and welcoming. Coffee is top-notch (you can even buy their small batch roasted beans) and baked goods are most often very tasty. Would love to give it 5 stars, but these are the reasons I've docked it (for now): *In my experience there are no dark roast options. I'm not a fan of light/flowery roasts. Personal preference on this one. *Croissants are kinda hit or miss. That's a no-no with croissants, especially, in my book. *Prices are a tad high...which is understandable for such a nice small community business (there's not much else in the immediate Haddon Hill area other than the sister pizza joint). But I find myself just wanting to come here for the experience, not the coffee or baked goods...which is sorta problematic for a coffee shop with high prices. Also also, I wish they had fresh bread more consistently/predictably! Wish list item...

This coffee blew my mind and knocked my socks off! I don’t know if there ever is or was a perfect cup of coffee, but the flavors served here come verrrrry close!!

Excellent coffee and delicious pastries. A charming hidden gem in Oakland.
