Haddon Hill Cafe 504 Wesley Avenue, Oakland, CA 94606

"Great drip coffee! I wish I had asked what beans they used. My stomach is sensitive so I don’t drink coffee often but this 12 oz drip I got was so flavorful! Also some very tasty pastries, my friend and I got the caramelized onion and mushroom croissant and I definitely want to try the guava one the next time I go. Friendly service and a cute neighborhood spot. Not really a sit down space, but they do have outdoor seating for people to use while they wait or if it’s just two of you. Great place to grab coffee and a bite and then take a little walk by the lake."

"Highly recommended. Pastry were very tasty. Will definitely come back!"

"This coffeehouse with its nondescript storefront is a local favorite with people lined up from the time it opens. My place for coffee while waiting for my laundry two doors down. Features amazing baked goods from the pizza place on the next block (same owners, I think), including morning buns, sourdough cheese rolls, and a delicious Khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread with spices and a runny egg on top)."

"Super nice, cute spot. Very understated, in a fun way. In fact, if you weren’t paying attention driving by you’d barely know it was a coffee shop. Their pastries were delicious and the coffee was great. Awesome little gem to have walking distance, because it seems like a perfect lazy Sunday morning choice."

"This place is lovely and has enormous potential. Great atmosphere: cozy, quaint, friendly, and welcoming. Coffee is top-notch (you can even buy their small batch roasted beans) and baked goods are most often very tasty. Would love to give it 5 stars, but these are the reasons I've docked it (for now): *In my experience there are no dark roast options. I'm not a fan of light/flowery roasts. Personal preference on this one. *Croissants are kinda hit or miss. That's a no-no with croissants, especially, in my book. *Prices are a tad high...which is understandable for such a nice small community business (there's not much else in the immediate Haddon Hill area other than the sister pizza joint). But I find myself just wanting to come here for the experience, not the coffee or baked goods...which is sorta problematic for a coffee shop with high prices. Also also, I wish they had fresh bread more consistently/predictably! Wish list item..."
