World Ground Cafe

Wonderful fresh baked stuff-especially savory cheese n jalepeno, or bacon biscuits. Fruit cheese danish really good. Coffee is solid, strong.

A GREAT local coffee shop! Good coffee and a real neighborhood vibe. If you are in the Laurel District of Oakland, get your coffee here! World Ground is open 7:00a to 2:00p / 7 days a week.

Really enjoyed my first visit to this cafe.A double espresso was perfectly made and found a berry burst cake on offer that was amazingly delicious. The service was polite and in leisurely style.Surroundings are comfortable but not smart in any way, along with the rest of the Laurel neighborhood.....returning soon

I have loved this local business for a long time. It is really a lovely atmosphere. I really like how chill it is in here. The music isn't too loud (please god more places need to turn their music down).Loved my mocha! It wasn't too sweet, and they have great prices here. Honestly, this place is excellent for studying or relaxing and having your morning coffee. I recommend it!

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this coffee shop based on my recent experience. Despite spending around $30 for breakfast and coffee for a friend and myself, my visit was marred by an incident that left a sour taste in my mouth. While I was peacefully working on my computer, I observed a panhandling woman approach a customer who had exited the premises. She wasn't being aggressive or impolite. However, to my dismay, the owner of the coffee shop abruptly stormed outside and bellowed, 'No! Don't give her ANYTHING!'This display of rudeness and lack of empathy was deeply troubling. Although I empathize with the challenges businesses face regarding panhandling, the manner in which this interaction was handled was severely lacking. The woman ventured inside to question the owner's actions, only to be met with further hostility and threats of police involvement.Ironically, a sign above the shop's entrance proudly proclaims their dedication to "serving the community." With 26 years of establishment in the area, one would expect a more compassionate response to the impoverished surroundings. It's disheartening that their commitment to the community seems to falter when faced with those in need.Expressing my disappointment to the owner, I informed them of my decision not to return. Their dismissive response further underscored their indifference to constructive feedback.I sincerely hope this review serves as a wake-up call for the establishment to reflect on their actions and reassess how they engage with their community. True community service extends beyond serving paying customers; it encompasses compassion and dignity for all individuals, including those seeking help outside their doors.When a company seeks to serve the community, paying customers aren't the only 'customers'

Chill spot that has great service and did the job when I needed a pick me up while waiting for lunch plans. Quick and tasty. I will return.

Finally, a coffee house with proper coffee not this annoying light roasted coffee, but a proper strong, black coffee highly recommended

A nice neighborhood spot to grab coffee and yummy pastries. Has that old neighborhood flair. I like to go here and read the paper and get some work done sometimes. It's only open 7 AM to 2 PM so more of a morning spot. Plenty of outlets And decent Wi-Fi.

Spicy Chai latte was great and the prices were very reasonable. The sandwiches were also great and not overpriced.

Good day I thought I would never have to do a review for a business. I'm going in this business before but today is my last day to patronize this business customer service was awful I couldn't believe it so rather than have a conversation with your proprietor if you're going to for the first time be careful I would not like to think that it was about color as opposed it was about service,,
