Xochi The Dog Cafe

The vanilla latte is rich and creamy, the perfect pick-me-up. Pair it with their tasty samosa, which is crispy and full of flavor. It's a cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy great food and the company of furry friends. Xochi Dog Cafe in Oakland is a delightful spot!

tl;dr: coffee good, service badthe coffee was good but the employees are hella rude. if i'm sitting outside, don't hear my name called and go inside to get my drinks and there are 2 drinks next to a post it w my name on it (both being drinks that i ordered), im gonna take both. so instead of saying "are you anna?!" and snarkily smiling/smirking while saying it, why not put out both my drinks at the same time?? and then my partner walks in to grab the second drink and a different person said "are you ash?!" you could be like "that's for ana. that's for ash". but instead they give hella attitude. like yall need to chill. it's not that serious. i worked at a coffee shop before too so i know how annoying customers can be but this was tew muchthe other customers there were nice though with their cute dogs. if you grab a drink here don't even try to be polite tbh. and stay inside so they won't be rude to you if you don't hear your name called and try to grab a drink that literally looks like yours and is next to a post it w your name on it

Don't let the name Xochi, The Dog Cafe, mislead you like it did for us! We thought it was an ultra-dog-friendly cafe, but it's not. I got together with my coworker and wanted to bring my pup. Finding a spot was a bit tricky initially, but he recommended we check out Xochi. We arrived at the cafe on a Sunday afternoon. There was a sign saying no dogs allowed inside due to health and safety regulations (I understand) and how the cafe is named after their dog. My coworker ordered first and got us a table on their outdoor patio. The patio is dog-friendly and pleasant--vast, lush, and quaint. There are several tables spaced out to enjoy your drinks. The inside is minimalistic and roomy, with about three to four tables where you can work. We came on an off day, and they closed early. As a result, service seemed rushed, and we felt they wanted us to leave. Their Horchata Latte enticed me with Oat Milk. For the amount I paid, I felt like the quality and quantity didn't match. There was no horchata flavor, and it was super light on cinnamon. I don't think I'd come back to get this.This is a nice neighborhood coffee spot for those living in East Oakland. For others, especially paw-rents, this is just a PSA--it's dog-friendly outside! Parking is available in the neighborhood, with the shop on the corner of E 21st Street.

Cool cafe especially if you have a pup! Nice choices and servers are so nice and accommodating. But really the best part is to bring your pup and let them roam around greet-sniffing other pups in the cage or in the backyard. It's social fun for them while you chill with your coffee!

Parking is surprisingly open more often than not, however, I, do not like this place and I wonder if that's why parking is often available.. The neighborhood coffee shop is nice, the poster board is a nice community touch and especially all the nookish seating outside. But the feel and customer service is OFF. I've tried here a few times... you're often never acknowledged until it's time to order ($ - and sometimes it's NOT that busy!) I was glad to see others also feel the employees are rude(ish) and passive aggressive? It's always a weird vibe. Seems like the owner knows he's gonna get business and that just stinks. I've always felt taken for granted here and not because my name is Xóchi. If you want a gentrified neighborhood coffee shop, this is your spot! I just came here one last time to find out the bread they used and they told me, so R.I.P. Xóchi the terribly named cafe.

Wonderful service, atmosphere, matcha latte, and wifi! I dropped by here to spend a few hours working on my computer and it was the perfect place to be. Also had no problem finding nearby street parking around the corner. Definitely would return if I'm in the area.

Love their warm service, empanadas and cute outdoor patio area. It's a neighborhood gem!

Enjoyed trying their coffee and empanadas. Friendly staff and nice indoor and outdoor seating spaces. Would definitely get the sauce with the empanadas

Adorable local restaurant, serving delicious food and coffee forward drinks, with mostly outdoor seating, service was easy going and dogs are welcomed in the outdoor area.

Great coffee. Delicious empanadas. Very comfortable indoor seating and if you want your pup to meet the other pups in the neighborhood, this is the place.
