Farley's Cafe

Alicia Loewenthal

It’s an airport coffee shop. They’re busy and it’s never going to be the best atmosphere or perfect service, but the coffee is excellent, the food is far better than almost any US airport offers, and the to go salads are too takeaway food if you want a filling, delicious vegetarian salad that travels well.

Berry Smoothie was quick and one of the better smoothies I've had. Can't speak to anything else here.

I’m surprised to see so many low reviews. I had a long layover and ate here twice. The peanut butter banana bread was delicious. For lunch I had avocado toast and an iced latte- both were also good. The staff was friendly and they worked hard to get orders out quickly. Next to gate 22 and near bathrooms. Pro-tip: jump the line by ordering online by scanner the QR code at the end of the line.

Good coffee for airport! Got a cortado, and much nicer than other stores in the terminal. Would go back!

This cafe is next to gate 23 and opposite to the restrooms. Has few vegetarian/jain food options. I ordered a decaf mocha with almond milk. Staff is nice and helpful, they made it with regular coffee but replaced it when I told them that the order was for decaf. Mocha had less of the chocolate taste and was more of a regular iced coffee. Definitely have had better mocha elsewhere. Overall good place to get a quick flight while waiting for boarding or if you have just landed in Oakland airport terminal 2.

Not the best coffee, not the worst airport coffee I've had. Super automatic machines control the process. If you get a double espresso ($5), it'll taste like an Americano/an okay small cup of coffee. I wouldn't recommend diluting it further

4:17 pm … I ordered a croissant warmed up. How can you go wrong? Well… It did! The inside was cold and the whole thing tasted like a piece of dry bread. Definitely among the top three worst croissants I’ve ever eaten in my life. A serious waste of six dollars.

Peets is gone. In its place is Farely's Cafe between gate 22 and 23. The line goes directly to the register, bypassing the selection of food so you can't see what you might want to order. I ordered a bagel that felt like I was eating dried shaped gruel in a Siberia prison cell. There are so many things wrong with this one bagel, that I will go through the trouble of listing it for you, just for your amusement. The bagel was automatically toasted, not at my request. It was toasted too long or was very stale because it was hard to bite the hard exterior layer. Who am I kidding. The whole thing was stale and toasting it couldn't save it. It was hard to press my teeth together to chew through the bagel. I had to use the back molars to grind the bagel down. My jaw hurts. They didn't give me enough cream cheese to spread on two sides. It cost $4.50 for something that might have been served in the 1990's in a country that has never heard of bagels. But I'm determined to finish this thing because I am stuck on a plane and should something bad happen before I'm done, I will have a hard object to defend myself.

I always try a mocha when i go to new coffee shops. I see why the reviews are bad 😅 i could swear i was just drinking an iced oatmilk even if it has a bit of coffee coloring. Has to be in my top 2 worst mochas I’ve ever had. And it’s not number 2.

Lady behind the counter at Oakland airport being difficult and told me that the dressing wasn't available. This is after she argued with me that the micro greens on the avocado toast were just cilantro like it was a big pile of cilantro. I explained to her those are micro greens and I'm sure there's cilantro in it but those are definitely micro greens (it’s even on the menu as this) and she argued with me and then she told me that I couldn't have the dressing. this is so funny I can't even handle it right now. So now I'm sitting here with an avocado toast that I can't eat because I won't be able to eat anything but the avocado part and not even get this hard ass bread down. I needed the dressing because I can’t swallow the bread down without it being moist due to a medical issue/extreme acid reflux. Ridiculous. She was willing to sell me the dressing for $.35 and then after we argued micro greens she’s like no dressing for you. 😆

Don’t go here if you are trying to get an easy breakfast meal. For a single egg sandwich, where the picture shows bacon and cheese with the egg. They charge you an extra dollar because of the egg shortage. And the bacon and cheese arnt included and cost 3 bucks each. So basically you can spend 11 bucks for bread and eggs plus the dollar because of the “egg shortage”. And an additional 6 bucks for what the sandwich should already come with. So what shows as a 11 dollar sandwich. Comes to either a 20 dollar breakfast sandwich or a giant disappointment when you don’t see the small print

Probably the worst cup of coffee I’ve had in a long time. Do they ever clean their machines? Burnt and overly acidic. This belongs to management and owners. Will say my wife liked her Chai tea. If you’re desperate, might work.

If you are stuck in this part of Oakland Airport make the hike to somewhere else for coffee. Understaffed, mediocre coffee, industrial strength stale croissants, bad. The hike away is worth it.

I know it’s just an airport coffee shop and these are first world problems but actual Farley’s outside the airport is so good and this one sucks. Giving Farley’s a bad rep. Croissant is literally at least a day old, dry and stale. The person who made the latte literally just let the milk steam, over bubble and then just dumped it into the cup with a shot. Just hot milk over espresso. $15. I just want my money and calorie count back.

The hispanic lady working may 9th at around 12:30pm was SO RUDE. So unkind and inpatient to the customer in front of me. When I asked for my croissant (which is already pretty stale) to be warmed up, she got annoyed even though it’s her job. The cafe is a typical overpriced airport spot to go in between layovers. On a positive note, my latte was actually pretty good.

On Monday, July 7, 2025, the same Hispanic woman everyone has been complaining about treated me very poorly, disrespected me, and even threatened to call the sheriff just because I told her she was being unfair and rude. I came over for help because the drink I wanted wasn't on the menu. She yelled at me, saying I had to order using the screen and that the drink was listed there. After searching for five minutes and not finding it, I told her I needed help, but she yelled that she was very busy and I had to wait. Then, someone got in line behind me and was immediately served without any problem. When I asked her what the difference was between me and that person, she angrily snapped at me, saying if I was done talking, she wouldn’t serve me and I should leave. She threatened to call the sheriff on me. It was an absolutely degrading and humiliating experience. I strongly advise against going to this place. This incident happened around 4:10 p.m. on July 7th 2025 I don’t understand why management keeps this employee after so many bad reviews that seem to be about the same person.
