Red Bay Coffee

I have always wanted to come to this brand but it is so far out of the way. But I was coming home from a training and figured that I'd stop on by and I'm glad that I did. The guy there wasn't a regular in this spot, he works at the Fruitvale location, but my charcoal mocha was good. I wanted the sweet potato but they don't have it. Next time I come, I hope they have it here. This is closer to my home.The person who worked there was very nice and greeted me. This is a cute, very clean coffee space and I'm very glad that I went. I don't know when I'll be back, but when I return, I really hope that they have the sweet potato coffee.

First visit. Wasn't familiar with the chain/brand before. Lovely coffee shop and patio, and some of the best cold brew I've ever had. But: Barista assistance is needed for entry into office building for restroom.

Headed to Emeryville early to hit the Granite Expo and needed a coffee post shopping. We were lucky to find Red Bay in neighboring Berkeley, thanks to my fellow yelpers! And it did not disappoint! This is a tiny shop in a quiet neighborhood. We were warmly greeted when we walked in and our barista quickly took our order. We indulged in an almond and a spinach feta croissant. Bothe were yum, and I appreciated that the spinach wasn't chopped to bits but made with whole spinach leaves. We had almond milk lattes and the drinks were delicious! The coffee had a lovely toasted taste, not at all bitter, with a tinge of floral notes. There was a steady stream of customers coming in while we sat on the front patio--clearly the locals know about this place!We'd definitely stop again when in the area. Plus, this is a Black-owned and Certified B Corporation! (Look that up if you aren't familiar!)

Red Bay has done an excellent job of getting me addicted to their vanilla charcoal latte! Jokes aside, this place is awesome. It's a nice spot to pick up a latte and go, or to grab a coffee and sit down with your laptop for a little while. I am especially fond of their seasonal drinks!

Delicious cold brew and croissants in the Bay Area- love this location and there's a cool record shop across the street!

While staying in Berkley for a weekend, we were so lucky to have been in walking distance to this Red Bay Coffee. Though it's a small shop inside, the ambiance is cute, chill, and has a cute outdoor seating area. But the real deal is the coffee here. It is made fresh and absolutely delicious! Lattes are also really good here as well! When we got there, there was only one gentleman doing everything, and he was fantastic at what he did. He was friendly, quick, and still made everything perfectly. Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near this place, but if I am in the area, I know there's at least one good coffee spot for me to go to in the morning! And if YOU'RE in the area, I recommend giving this location a shot!

Cool neighborhood gem. Free convenient parking. Nice outdoor patio for chatting or working. Food is from Starter bakery so you know it's good. Service is great! It's a little out of my way since there are three other coffee houses closer. Totally worth the effort.

Loved the coffee - I got an iced oat milk latte with cinnamon, tasted like horchata! Walkable from many houses nearby. Some indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly atmosphere. Only downside is no restroom or outlets - I studied here for about 3 hours before I had to leave to plug in my laptop

I needed a caffeine fix this morning, so I headed straight for Red Bay because it was the closest thing to me. I got here right before they opened at 7:30 and was really surprised to see 2 other people already in line. I think that's how you know it's a good spot. They have a pretty solid menu - the essentials as well as some creative drinks as well. I loved the decorations, the indoor /outdoor seating, and the huge windows. It really looks like a great spot to sit down and get some work done or just chill and read a book. The person working was by herself, and she did a great job balancing everything. I appreciated that she took the time and gave me honest opinions on the drinks I wanted to order. I got the saigon latte half sweet, and it was perfect for me. Would definitely come back here :)

I love red bay coffee! I used to go at least once a week when I worked in Oakland. This location is new in Berkeley which is closer to my house. It's small but there is room to sit and space outside to sit and enjoy your drink. My favorite drink to order is the charcoal latte is has such a smooth taste and has a beautiful black/gray foam delicious either hot or cold.
