Need to be okay with no outlets and high prices, but if you are it’s a: great place to work. Lots of light high ceilings…. Tip: massive high school crowd during weekday lunch. Best to avoid.

Pricey like other reviewers have mentioned, but what isn't in the bay. This location makes a lovely latte. Other locations I've been to in SF and SJ have made lattes that were way too acidic and not at all dialed in, but this one has been perfect. Open, airy space and friendly baristas.

Beautifully remodeled space, always with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Light, airy feel. I suggest just avoiding lunch hour as it turns into a high school cafeteria.

Great spot if you want some coffee in a large open setting that has high vaulted ceilings, especially if ventilation is a concern while we're still dealing with COVID. The staff were very informative and let us know right away they use oat beverage by default, asking if that was okay. I had an iced hojicha latte while my spouse had an iced latte. Both drinks were great!

You can always rely on Blue Bottle to be consistent. Ever since the Webster location closed, this is our go to. Parking is rough but it’s always nice to step inside this historic building.

LOVE Blue Bottle Coffee! HIGHLY recommend the Date Latte and cappuccino in a real cup. Do NOT miss the sticky toffee pudding and authentic German waffle! 🧇 …

It was an early Tuesday morning and my normal Blue Bottle shop on Piedmont was closed. I googled this place and decided to get coffee here. Thankfully, because it was early, parking wasn't an issue. I can imagine though during 8-9am it could be a hassle as it's directly across the street from Oakland High. Aside from that, the place is enormous... Probably the largest Blue bottle I've ever been in. The baristas were kind and the spot was clean. If you're a blue bottle fan and need coffee, especially early in the morning, then you gotta check it out.
