Comfortable ambiance. Lots of seating and a really yummy chai latte. Stop in, take a break in your day, chat with a friend, work a bit outside of the house. Great gathering spot.

Finally a spacious cafe with comfortable seating!! I came by on a Sunday morning around 10am and it wasn't too busy. I ordered a brown sugar latte which was amazing and the perfect sweetness- it tasted like a hug in a cup. I absolutely loved the artsy interior with natural lighting and a space in the back with some couches.

What a great neighborhood place. Great coffee and super nice staff! Wonderful and comfortable atmosphere.

Finally a coffee shop that's open late! I was apartment touring nearby and decided to stop by on a Friday night. There's a ton of seating and the inside is very well-decorated and spacious. I was also pleasantly surprised by the size of the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich I ordered. It was very hearty and hit the spot for comfort breakfast food. The service does take awhile, but the staff is small so totally understandable. I can definitely see myself coming back often even though I don't live in Oakland.

Ambiance: One of my favorite coffee shops! Huge space with lots of seating at proper tables and comfy couches. Great place for a coffee meet up or a place to work. Wifi is available and works great. Though it can get pretty crowded and noisy in the afternoon. If you plan to work I advise going in the morning. They also have regular events that they post on their instagram and open evenings as a wine bar. Service: Order at the counter and self bus, but the staff is helpful at the counter. Food/Drink: I have never had a coffee there I didn't like, they are all well balanced for those that like sweetish but not too sweet.

This cafe is so cute and I can't wait to come back! Ive always seen the venue packed during the evening because they promote and host community events! But stopping by during the day was definitely worth it! Came here around 10am on a Saturday and there was a light buzz to the place! They also had an awesome playlist going that consisted of oldies! Anyway, they have an easy & simple menu & great prices! The drinks were good and the matcha was made to perfection! I will say that the house special latte tastes better hot instead of being over ice! The bacon, egg, cheese sandwich was good too! I'd recommend getting it without the bacon! It seemed a little undercooked! Otherwise, this was a great experience and I can't wait to go back!

Fave! Kinfolx is my favorite cafe/wine bar anywhere. Urban and urbane is how I like to kick it. From the furniture to the art, the feel of the place is 100. I have to admit that I thought of it as a wine bar with great art at first. This is despite the fact that they opened in the old Tertulia space which I always appreciated as a café and gallery. But you know, first impressions are a thing and it had an immediate good buzz around the Town as a wine bar Black folx loved. But coming on a rainy afternoon I had the most delicious latte and the place was (almost) full of peeps of all shades laptoppin' and conversatin' - including tourists who rolled in with their roller bags. I guess Kinfolx is officially "on the map." Today, I was meeting with a brother to chop it up about an art and social justice project. Of course he suggested meeting here! This time I just got a cup of coffee, not an espresso drink, and I have to say that it was delicious. Plus, the vibe was on point as always. I met Kinfolx co-owner Creighton Davis at our nearby barber shop (shout out DapprDan's Barber Loft) and couldn't help but wax poetic to him about having such a fantastic Black-owned establishment keeping the culture vibrant and gentrifying forces try to drain the Blackness out of Oakland. Cultural displacement is a thing. But this corner of Uptown has a new cornerstone where we can be and thrive. Support it and enjoy!
