Oak-Dar Broadway Reviews
Such amazing flavor!! This is my new spot to get shahan ful (foule) and Ethiopian coffee. The artfully done decorations and jazz playing lightly from speakers set high above create a great atmosphere to AHHHhhh. I'll be back.
I got the vegetarian combo and ginger coffee to go, and both were delicious! The portion size was generous, the food tasted very fresh, and the service was excellent. I'm already looking forward to returning.
Beautiful food at a fantastic price! If you’re a coffee aficionado this is a great place to try traditionally prepared Ethiopian coffee (rich, smooth, SO good!)
New favorite coffee shop in Oakland Love the “elielieli” sign and the “Oakland” signs written in Amharic. Love the coffee, the colors, the music, the hospitality. It’s right off 12th St BART, easy to get some good coffee and relax.
I only had coffee, but the service was excellent!
We never had Ethiopian food before, I don't even know how to order. After the owner kindly suggested the most popular items, we tried the lamb & the fish, and I was blown away. Price-wise, it's inexpensive and delicious. Love the decor here, it's comfy and neat, you can even work here with the music and the delicious coffee or specialty healthy tea called Renaissance ( love the name). Glad I get to try this restaurant even though I just curiously walked by.

amazing authentic food, really affordable and the workers are really sweet
Exceptionally good coffee. Friendly people. Inexpensive food.
I have been here a number of times and every visit just gets better and better. Their coffee is the best you can find in the area. Their lunch specials are all amazing, especially the beef with injera. It's the perfect amount of food for a great price, and the staff is so friendly.
Oak Dar has some of the best coffee I've ever had. The prices are great and the variety of coffee choices is excellent. I buy the coffee beans regularly because it really is the best coffee you can get. The service is also great, and the staff makes you feel like a valued guest. Highly recommend.
Really a beautiful storefront, its like a little oasis in the middle of City Center. Ginger flavored coffee is fabulous. Great service from wonderful woman behind the bar.
I went for breakfast with my family while, we all had a great time. The staff and owner were very welcoming, I had the foule and a traditionally prepared Ethiopian coffee. The foule came with bread and aromatics- it was super delicious and filling. The coffe was also excellent.
It was really amazing they had some good vibes great coffee amazing food I like the egg how it was blended with everything else on the pallet really tasty I'll go back any more times in the future.
the lady is super nice and the vegan dishes are delicious
Some of the best coffee you can get in the Bay Area! And the Owner is lovely.
The coffee punches you in the face in the best way possible. If you want good coffee, you’ve gotta visit this place.
The owner has been serving foule and Ethiopian coffee at the Grand Lake Farmer’s Market for a while now, and I can get it Monday throat Saturday now in downtown oakland.
