Black Diamond Cafe - Emeryville

This is my café in Emeryville. The brew is quite tasteful, and the owner (Dave) is a pleasure. He even makes homemade jerky treats for my pup! Order the egg cheese bagel with cream cheese. It will change your life (or at least, make your morning much more pleasant). The bagels are freshened daily and the cream cheese is bomb. In summary, this place is more than a coffee shop — it is a community center, and the good people who own and operate it, add a ton of value to the neighborhood, so drop in, say hi stay for a while...

I live nearby, and it's my favorite place to take a coffee, beer or sandwich. I love all the staff! It is a truly relaxed, comfortable environment with delicious food and drinks.

The food and customer service at this restaurant are superb, with employees and owners Dave and Carol going above and beyond. The red chicken curry and chili are particularly outstanding.

Excellent place to relax when you arrive at the eastern bay. Excellent coffee and sandwiches. Don't forget to try the chili soup. One of the best.

I love Black Diamond Cafe and all of the staff here are so nice. Today, I ordered the Thai red curry chicken with rice and they now have boba! I ended up getting the oolong coffee jelly with little ice (but they do have normal boba, I just opted for coffee jelly). Both were good and I recommend any of their food. I typically get a lox bagel and a large hot coffee if I stop by for breakfast. They also serve alcohol here and on tap. There's free WiFi, bathroom, a place to sit comfortably, you can watch sports on a big tv, and directly outside is a bus stop/free shuttle, and Christie Park. Support a small business and eat yummy food.
