Charlie May LLC

"Inviting, vibrant, and warm, Charlie May is a great spot to grab a cold brew, hibiscus tea, and/or delicious baked good! The owners are true Town folks who provide space for great local caterers, artisans, and dog lovers alike. This spot may be off the beaten path, but I assure you, it’s a gem worth the trek!"

"Pretty awesome little coffee shop. Very relaxing. I've lived in Oakland for 13 years and had never even been to that neighborhood, but we stopped by Charlie May en route to another location in the hills and were really pleasantly surprised. The drinks and empanada were great. Looking forward to coming back."

"Wow!!! I’m stoked to have found this local small business! Owned by sisters with roots from Philippines and Guam, the coffee drinks are super unique. Yes, they can make all your other favorites too, but I am enamored by their Latiya latte (cinnamon vanilla), which I am currently savoring every last drop in their beautifully decorated and comfortable coffee house! I’m also eating their yummy morning bread, super tasty and healthy, with a bunch of power seeds, zucchini and carrots. They make all the syrups in house. Being Filipina myself, I am in heaven and will try the champorado latte next time. Prices are so much less than your other name brand coffee places and the quality is way beyond. Buy local!!! Note: They are nestled about a mile up from the Oakland Zoo, in a sweet Oakland neighborhood. They are closed Mondays."

"I am so glad that we have a new coffee shop in Oakland! It's a nice drive up Golf Links Road. They're close to 580 freeway and Oakland Zoo, off 98th ave. exit! I enjoyed the latte with the Latiya sauce (iced and hot). Cold brew and the pastries are yummy! The ambient is great to catch up on some reading, work, or with a friend over a nice cup of coffee. The owners are kind and friendly :) I really enjoy coming here and I am inspired by the creativity of the space and the taste of the drinks."
