Haste Muerte

Always friendly. Always great coffee and snacks. Plus, lots of art and reading material. I could spend all day here.

Best vibes, food and drinks. Employee owned and it shows. The atmosphere is welcoming to all and chill. The food is delicious and everything is set up mindfully and purposefully. Love everything about it except it needs more comfy seating ;)

I love hasta muerte. Good politics, friendly staff, and it’s a worker owned coop <3 I have a lot of respect for them

Good food, kind service, clean. Lots of trolls in the comments here but looks like they're just upset about the politics.

I love this place! It's one of the few things I truly miss about living around the corner. Folks who are uncomfortable with this establishment need to keep in mind that a business has the right to refuse service to anybody. If they feel that a guest is making their clientele or space feel unsafe, they have the right to deny them service. No matter who they are. Plenty of establishments are not comfortable with weapons inside, and certain occupations require their employees to carry weapons, so those folks always have the option to come when they are not on duty, as long as they are respectful. Oh, and the cold brew is delicious + they have empanadas. I only wish they were open more!

Have always felt safe and welcome here. Was lucky to be a part of their soft launch and became a regular here with my small children and baby. Love their coffee and the atmosphere!

absolutely love this coffee shop. I wish I was closer so I could come more often. the coffee is SO good, the employees are so kind, and they have a little shop in the back that supports local artists! love that they put their morals before anything else. a must try when in Oakland 💛

Lovvveee this coffee shop. I feel super safe & welcomed here. Coffee is delicious and so is the food. Suggest the matcha or marzapán latte! Chill atmosphere that doesn't feel overwhelming & feels like a breath of fresh air amongst the chaos of the world. Great educational reading materials & clothing / handmade goods by local artists / creators. Staff are authentic and genuine. I'm grateful I don't get blasted with fake smiles & obnoxious scripted greetings when I go in. If it's not your cup of coffee, go get your cup of coffee at any other bootlicker cafe 💁‍♀️

This is by far one of the 2 best coffee shops in the Bay. Not just Oakland. The staff are always kind and friendly as hell, the food is always served piping hot and tastes hella fresh (the empanadas are delectably delicious if you're a first time customer looking for a recommendation), and the atmosphere is amazing. You can tell that a lot of love goes into everything they do here. The decor is dope and reminds me of the kind of place that the likes of MLK, Dolores Huerta and Bobby Seale would all be comfortable in. As far as I know, it's worker owned/operated and HM is as much of a staple of the community as the street it sits on (Fruitvale Ave) itself. You can tell from the mural on the side of the building that they aren't just a part of the community. They embody everything the neighborhood and the people born and raised here stand for and always will. What gets misconstrued as hate is just a deep empathy and love for the most marginalized members of our community and that's what I love most about this place. It gets 10000000/10

This place is the best. Wonderful people. Great coffee they roast themselves. Amazing empanadas, local donuts, smoothies, etc. And badass merch, zines, books, etc. A radical, intersectional, friendly neighborhood coffeehouse. What more could you want?

Honestly, my fave coffee place of all time. And I love coffeeee. Whenever I'm somehow around the area of Fruitvale, I always check if Hasta Muerte is open so I can get myself a treat! Love the non Caffeine lattes!!

This place has such good food and drinks and is such a cool and safe environment for people who are compassionate and believe in human rights. They even have some great reading material and an adorable little art market happens outside once a month! No bootlickers or boots allowed 🥰 Viva Hasta Muerte, VIVA PA LE STINA Y CHING4 LA MIGRA‼️✊🇵🇸🐷🚫🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏴🌍💞

Smoothie was really well priced and delicious!

Everytime this place gets low ratings more people show up... Its soooo packed here and people share seats and tables like family you never had. This place will end up expanding because people will congregate in places they feel safe at. Standing room is more like social room. The most communal coffee shop Ive been too. Coffee is good, environment feels so good. Love the homegirl spinning 70 mexican music. The art is amazing.

This place is ALWAYS DELICIOUS. If I'm driving by or in the area, I have to stop. Not only is the coffee great and flavorful but their food is so yummy!!! I got a coyota this time, raspberry flavored! So much yum. Wish I had taken a picture before stuffing it into my mouth 😂 Also recommend checking out their art and gift section in the back past the barista area. I always find something I need to take home and love supporting local artists :)

Came here with some girlfriends. Had a cappuccino and the kale and mushroom empanadas! Everything was so good! Cosy vibes and friendly staff too. Highly recommend.

Wonderful coffee place! The menu has lots of really yummy options, the staff is kind and polite and service is fast. The atmosphere is cozy and they have lots of work from local artists around. I really liked the avocado toast, it had a sauce that was good.

Humans welcome, people tolerated. One of the best hidden gems in Oakland. Come check it out expand your mind and feel what the world of humans could be like. Much love to my friends at Hasta Muerte

This is the place to Lime in. Open air feeling, old school vibes and a part of the vibrant community that Fruitvale represents. I first tried a Mazapan latte in Newman, CA last September. This is yummy too and the guava coyota to go with. Plus great conversations with locals.

Really liked the gluten free beef empanada, and gluten free avocado toast was great, esp for $7.99. They also have GF chocolate chip cookie but today it would take about 10 mins to bake individually. My latte was solid, oat milk was creamy but somehow could use more kick. 5 stars for the overall lovely service , and 5 for the funky, neighborhood feel, and l, just so happy when places go the extra mile for GF and vegan, thank you!

Casual, airy cafe with rad gift shop of goods made by local artists. Cafe workers were friendly, and the empanadas were delicious. I’ll definitely be back soon.

This is a neighborhood gem! Everything is good in here! I loooove the root yourself brevages they have… it’s like a mix of syrup tea milks idk it’s soooo good, their coffee is bomb as well! Service always 10/10 and the food is really good! I enjoy their pastries so much! And they have a machine to take pics

we visited on our drive back home to LA as i had done a little bit of research and this place was one of the highest rated in the area and well deserved because their mazapan latte was absolutely delicious. i noticed that there was a lot of 1 star reviews and after a quick glance.... i saw why. lol. don't be like those people and do yourself a favor, enjoy an empanada and be sure to grab an iced latte and support your local small business. there was a very nice mural on the side of the building depicting community and you could really feel the kindness and attention to customer service from the staff who served us.

Awesome place! WiFi, and chill atmosphere. I received excellent customer service and the coffee was so good I got two cups. I will go back to try the empanadas. Children’s play area was a nice touch for parents. Easy parking which is rare in Oakland. My new fave coffee spot.

I got the mazapan latte (half sweet) w oatmilk, vegan empanada and a fig coyotas. All delicious, esp the mazapan latte, and I'm definitely returning!

I ordered the gold brew latte. So creamy with the oat milk. The homemade cafe de olla syrup is always EXCELLENT in a latte. Overall, this spot never misses the mark on serving excellent coffee!

I got an amazingly delicious Creamy Gold Brew. I appreciate what this business stands for. Just visiting from Minnesota, thank you for the coffee!

Speciality creamy cold brew is so Good >>> amazing staff n experience !!!!! Good for doing some work. Highly recommend

Love coming here! The drinks are always so well made and delicious. Staff are kind and were able to let me know things I could have based on my allergies. I also love visiting the little shop of locally made goods from clothes, herbal medicines, and more! 10/10 would recommend ✨

Showing love and solidarity from one coffee shop to another. Saludos from Colorado. 📚🤎

Solid little spot keeping the vibes good. Places like this are important because they are transparent about what you support when you patronize the business. It makes it easy to identify a safe space and be comfortable spending your money in a way that helps the local community.

We stopped in at the recommendation of our local hosts. If you’re a Starbucks person or a cop, don’t come here. This is a real neighborhood cafe. The community is outstanding, the people are incredibly nice and social, and the chai I had was amazing. Vegan baked goods are also delicious. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Oakland!

The cafe vibe has WiFi/laptop feel serving a good cup of cappuccino. Food fare is minimal yet healthy. You’ve got to have the empanadas! That’s what keeps me going back.

Love this spot, with great vegan food options, and a great activist spirit. I really wish they didn't charge an extra $1 for non-dairy milks, doesn't make sense when it's an otherwise vegan-friendly place.

I've been here twice now and each time my husband and I have had really great coffee. The cold brew I had yesterday was SO GOOD--super chocolatey! I decided to buy some beans since we were out of coffee at home. Just made a cup (Honduras single origin light roast) and I'll definitely be back to try out their other single origins. I only took one star off for customer service--it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Overall I'm really glad there's a clutch coffee shop right down the street from my house!!

Very cozy with friendly staff. Coffee was very good, and reasonable priced. All walk of life is welcome.

Good espresso drinks. Nice place to hangout.

I heard good things about this coffee spot but I was lied to. The cashier was very rude and felt like she didn’t wanna be there. My drink took 20 min and my empanadas were super cold. The place was very dirty and looked like it hasn’t been cleaning in years. Unfortunately huge disappointment

11/17 I was very excited to introduce my boyfriend to this coffee shop. Everything was fine until it was time to pick up our order and the lady with short hair in a purple beanie was extremely RUDE and gave us attitude when we let her know we were waiting for our drinks. I also peeped she gave attitude to the girl who picked up her order before us. Completely ruined this experience for us!!!!! Disappointed

Last week, my friend and I stopped by recently and honestly left pretty disappointed. The coffee and the customer service were horrible. From the moment we walked in, the staff seemed uninterested and not very welcoming. We felt more like an inconvenience than customers. When we asked a simple question, the response felt short and dismissive, and the overall vibe was just uncomfortable. A coffee shop should feel warm and inviting, but that wasn’t our experience here. Because of how we were treated, my friend and I won’t be coming back. Hopefully they can work on improving the customer service, because that really makes all the difference.
