Earthly Coffee

This is the place most convenient for me--right in my neighborhood. And I have gotten good food there as well. My problem is with the owner operator: He can be super rude to me while he seems to like other customers. Last time he did it I stopped going for a year or more. Fast forward: I have been on a jag to find the super classic NYC bodega breakfast sandwich. Egg and cheese on a soft roll that was grilled on flattop for a minute (sometimes a panini press does the job--it hard to find a good one that doesn't cost $20 in the east bay these days. Today when walked in and he seemed to have nothing but time on his hands. I said what I was looking for and he snapped back, " I don't know what that is. Why don't you start here with the menu." Those words are all fine but he delivered them with an edge like he thinks he's the sandwich nazi (no line out your door sweet heart)The menu is poorly placed for an average height man to read. And I thought, nah I am not doing this again. It does seem like Tristan reads these comments, but I don't expect a change in his attitude about service. He clearly doesn't want to do special orders with the 10 ingredients he has to work with. So carry on. But when you wonder why you are not busier, this is a little insight as to why. I hope you can loose some of the rigidity that is holding you back but sadly I will not find out about. 86

My favorite here is the tuna sandwich on wheat bread with avocado Sandwich is made by order and all ingredients are fresh Good portion size Customer service is friendly Prices are reasonable

Went in this morning- like other reviews I agree this is more of a locals spot. Person working there was helping another customer when I arrived, actually just talking. Seemed nice with previous customer but I did not get the same service. Not very friendly, maybe it takes a while for him to warm up to you?As I was leaving I said thank you but was not acknowledged. Bagel was ok, got a cream cheese (just on half the bagel) with veggies (tomato, onion, cucumber). Picture attached My daughter got a breakfast sandwich on sourdough with avocado (no veggies) she said it was a little dry and not that tasty. Sorry no picture. I got a drip coffee- Coffee was mediocre, strong but not exactly in the best tasting way. Kind of bitter.They don't allow people to put their own cream and sugar, they do it for you so it wasn't made to my liking and I didn't want to bother by asking for more cream. If you live close by it's probably your only option in walking distance. Not many other shops close by. Maybe if I lived in the neighborhood I would give it another try but since I don't I won't be going out of my way to eat here.

Earthly Coffee is located on a high traffic street. I'd imagine if you drop by earlier the parking would be better but there's also residential parking if you're willing to walk a little. The upbeat acoustic morning music, quaint table setup, and the owner's down to earth attitude really ties the ambiance together. I've ordered the pepperoni bite (delicious btw) and a hot chai sub oat milk. Did not disappoint at all. Would love to return if I am in the nearby area running errands.

This is a hidden gem for some of the best sandwiches in the Bay. Breakfasts burritos are really good too. And coffee and chai are delicious. I posted photos of the most recent menu.

This is definitely more of a local spot. We were driving through Oakland on the way back home and stopped by. I have a gluten allergy and was hoping to get something quick. As soon as we walked in and I asked for gluten free options ( Which btw on the menu online, glute free options twere present. See photo attached). The person behind the counter answered " no" before I could finish my sentence. He offered a salad option but since it was 7.30AM, I did not sound appetizing. I proceeded to ask if he would be able to make me a burrito without the tortilla and he said that it wouldn't come out right. Just felt unwelcome. I have worked in service industry for years and so has my family, surprised to see they could not offer even a side of eggs? I ended up getting the he burrito and throwing out the tortilla. Really nothing to rave about. Ambience is okay. The plants and decorations were cute but overall the place could use some deep cleaning. Just didn't feel like customer service was there. Please update the menu on Yelp so no others make the same mistake I did.

Omg the veggie bite is heaven :) I so wish I lived here otherwise you bet I'd be here everyday. It's also so nice to be in a coffee shop where everyone is making conversation and not head down on their laptops and phones. The owner is also such a fun personality and we had a great conversation about their efforts to improve crosswalk safety for disabled folks in the community. Amazing! Support local! Support small Oakland business!

My review keeps getting removed . PLEASE READ ME FIRST before entering !! The guy who works here is rude ! I came for strong coffee instead I got a strong attitude at the door . I don't need attitude before caffeine so I went to high wire coffee on piedmont, strong coffee polite young friendly staff and it's connected to a bakery and market . The lines may seem long but it goes fast . Idk how I forgot about this place ! Anyways great place so try them out instead !I usually keep masks in my vehicle but my vehicle was stolen and I was renting a new one . Either way when I enter a professional business of any kind, I don't expect to be impelled with such a sense of discourteous for I will quickly leave. Especially if it's from the manager! so As this mandate continues to fluctuate, I can only hope the people who visit this store for the first time or the first time in a while will not have to encounter what I or a few pervious dissatisfied customers have had to. Thank you Peace and blessings .

I stumbled on this place when working across the street servicing a customer's equipment and needed to grab lunch nearby. Had the best turkey and Swiss deli sandwich of my life, not kidding. Now, every time I drive by the place I salivate. Had the chance to stop by there again today, one year later, and the turkey and Swiss sandwich was even better! Fresh high-quality bread, turkey, swiss cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce, and some type of special sauce. Incredibly delicious and a very rare find!

Awesome spot for a delicious local breakfast, the vegan artichoke spread on a fresh bagel was great, coffees strong and fresh, service was great and attentive, and the vibes sweet and cozy! I'll be back 4 sure
