Awaken Cafe Roasting - Oakland

When I'm working in Oakland, this is my favorite coffee shop. The staff are amazing—friendly and welcoming. They are really accommodating for remote workers like me who are tired of being at a hotel desk. A few of us set up shop while working and enjoyed some delicious coffees and teas. My favorite order is lox and capers on a toasted everything bagel.

This is a premier coffee destination—one of the finest in Oakland and the Bay Area. The lavender latte and ube latte are outstanding. The service is exceptional as well.

The coffee here is rich and flavorful. The atmosphere is fantastic—comfortable and spacious, with inviting artwork adorning the walls.

Lovely coffee shop in downtown Oakland! Great bagels, strong coffee menu, and nice atmosphere.

The coffee is pretty good but the shop itself has no wifi. A good number of seats (maybe at least 5-6? with outlets though.
