Snow White Coffee

It's a coffee menu like every other place..... except it actually tastes good! Service is great, sarcasm and cynicism are frequent here, so if that's your bag, then come on in! They make your drink before they ring you up and it's usually one person working at a time, so be nice to someone who's making your latte!!#haveaSnowWhiteDay

I got an espresso and an oat milk macchiato. Both were very good. The espresso had great texture and crema. The flavors weren't intense but it wasn't bitter or burnt and low on acidity. I tasted citrus undertones. The oat milk in the macchiato added good texture to the espresso.

Simple coffee shop. More outdoor seating is a fine improvement. Few bells and whistles but beautiful murals and well crafted coffees with Starter pastries.

This is the BEST coffee shop of all time! I absolutely love it here. It is such a cute, inviting place on Piedmont Avenue. The staff is extremely warm, friendly, and funny and makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in! They not only make amazing coffee, they also form great friendships with their customers - often memorizing regular's coffee orders and making them as soon as they step inside (so you get your coffee pretty fast). They're super efficient but also provide nice conversation while you're waiting for your coffee that makes you feel so welcome. The shop is so cute! It is small but perfectly sized and the line is often out the door as this is a go to coffee shop for locals and everyone! You can tell everyone from the neighborhood loves it because they have so so many regulars. They are often busier starting around 10am and later, but they're always super efficient so the line doesn't move too slow. The layout of the shop is also so cute - they have a Polaroid wall of all the dogs that come into the shop and the owner of the shop even gives treats to the dogs, which is so nice and sweet! They also sell coffee beans, clothes, cookies, and these beautiful handmade bowls and cups. The coffee is amazing. My personal favorite is the 89 - I can't live without it, it is perfect in every way. It is made up of half and half, simple syrup, and a shot of espresso, shaken over ice. I once heard it described as a melted affogato. If you like a slightly sweet coffee where you can still taste the coffee flavor, this is the drink for you. It has a perfectly smooth and silky (almost thick) texture, with a strong espresso flavor that is perfectly complemented with the sweetness from the syrup. I love that the syrup is not too sweet or artificial tasting and the coffee is delicious. I believe they use a Jamaican-Guatemalan blend, and it is SO good. It is deep and rich in flavor and tastes very high quality. I have also tried their cold brew, drip coffee, oat milk latte, and hot chocolate and each was better than the next! They also have a small pastry case next to the register that's full of baked goods. I have yet to try their pastries but they get them from Starter Bakery (which I know is amazing) and they look SO GOOD. All in all, I love this place - it is definitely one of my favorite coffee shops of all time and I will continue to come in every single week, both for the coffee but also for the nice conversation and friendly staff. They're genuinely such awesome people and always put a smile on my face! I also really appreciate how consistent they are - you will always be receiving the BEST service here and the BEST coffee ever. When I don't come in for a while, I find myself missing it so much because I always leave feeling happy, satiated and excited to come back for more!

Stopped by here for a chai latte when visiting friends in the area one time. It's a cozy tea and coffee shop (& some snacks) with all outdoor seating. The owner let me know that it would take a little longer to make the chai latte. Was best loose herb based chai latte I've ever had! Strong and aromatic too. Definitely a neighborhood gem for the locals.

Been here a few times for coffee and overall coffee is consistently pretty good. It is a small place, not a place to hangout or do work but a good spot to grab an espresso or latte to go.

Awesome shop, and my go to coffee shop. Convenient location on the southern end of the Piedmont Ave strip, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and pastries from Starter in addition to the espresso. On a nice day they have a parklet out front which is great to sit at.

My shaken cold brew was awful. I like half and half so a shaken cold brew with half and half sounded great to me. I asked for no simple syrup. The cold brew itself tasted off. I actually make cold brew at home using coffee beans that I grind then steep. Not sure what they do here but their cold brew was awful and their half and half tasted so watery, like non fat milk.My coworkers coffee was cold so she asked them to remake it. Apparently their brewed coffee was sitting there for gosh knows how long and not switched out.Brewed coffee loses its freshness after one hour. Lackluster service with the barista/cashier. Like he'd rather be reading his texts rather than helping the two customers in his store. The two being us!I seriously won't be coming back.

My go to coffee every time I need to go in to Kaiser. A quick walk across the street for great coffee. I usually get the Oakland Chill, very smooth and just enough sweetness. The staff is equally chill... in Oakland. Bad pun. It's not a big place but that does not matter when all you want is a quality cup of coffee after checkup.

Coffee tastes great, but man, the bald dude working behind the counter was RUDE. Seemed like he would rather be chatting to some other dude about sports rather than interacting with a new customer. Literally, talked through me to the guy behind me. I, as a brown woman, did not feel welcome at all. The ambiance is made for white dudes and feels hostile to everyone else. I'm just gonna come out and say it after looking at the reviews. The people who run and work at this place are racist and sexist. Completely hostile vibe. I've been here twice now and certainly won't be coming back. Only white patrons and I can see why :)
