Find specialty coffee within walking distance of the spots you're visiting in Oakland.
Oakland has one of the most serious specialty coffee scenes in the country, largely built in the shadow of San Francisco but increasingly recognized on its own terms. While SF draws more attention, Oakland has quietly become a roasting powerhouse, with more high-quality roasters concentrated in the East Bay than almost anywhere on the West Coast.
