Caffe Chiave - Oakland

Delicious! The mochas are great, but seating is limited. The breakfast, pastries, and lunch options are all good.

Good food. Got a veggie pizza with artichokes and black olives. Crust was good. Fries here were excellent. Outdoor seating at the back was nice and relaxed. The coffees others ordered looked great.

Been going for years. Low prices, nice staff, and good atmosphere. Free wifi and power at some places. Has a very different ambiance than the modern coffee shop (minimalist/wide spaces/bright lighting) that makes it unique.

After my doctor's appointment, I had some time to kill and decided to stop by a restaurant. I ordered a tasty chicken pasta dish, which was served hot and delicious. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were great and friendly.

The restaurant is a casual local cafe that offers indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place for studying or casual meetups. The service is more on the self-service side, so you'll need to clean up after yourself, despite the tipping culture. The food is excellent, with a variety of pastries and sweets. The drinks are larger than those at other coffee shops. They also offer seasonal specialties like cast iron frittata, which is delicious and definitely worth coming back for.
