The Fremont Podcast

Devout coffee provides the best coffee with excellent craftsmanship and service. They truly seem to demonstrate a devotion to each part of the coffee experience. Whether it’s a cup of drip coffee or a shot of espresso or a special seasonal drink, each one is prepared with careful attention. I love the fact that it was founded and is owned by local Fremont natives. I think it’s the best coffee in Fremont if not the whole east bay.

So impressed! Everyone was very attentive and friendly. I’m the type of customer that when I see a high rating I trust that it means the establishment means quality and stands behind it. So I invariably end up having some questions! They handled them graciously and the coffee and banana bread were both divine. First time to Niles and loved the historic feel, esp with the backdrop of the mountains. Wow! 🤩

Cute place on Niles downtown, with very good coffee. Parking spot nearby at a lot (free) with ample space. They’ve got some good beans, and also breakfast sandwiches. Got the avocado toast, and enjoyed it. Wish they had a little more indoor space to work, but there’s lots of outdoor space to sit and sip. Overall really liked the vibe.

First time there and loved the place. They were out of a number of things but it was in the afternoon so not a typical time for coffee. I had the Ethiopia pour over and it was good. It’s very well located but street parking can be challenging—there is a parking lot not far away so not an issue. There is ample seating both indoors and outside.

Nice place, spacious outdoor patio, beautiful cofre drinks. Unfortunately absolutely no pastries by 2pm Sunday, which was a bummer as we were hungry. Coffee is beautifully presented with slight sour and bitter notes.

First time here and I am quite impressed with this nice little coffee shop. I like the mood and tone, the shop is well decorated and styled. Staffs are nice and will help you with order. I think this spot is popular as well, there are a few people here. However, I think the drink is so so, I got myself an iced mocha. It's good, but not stellar. The price is reasonable. I would stop by again if I want a drink.

Nilei is a cool little town, and this coffee shop is a must-stop! The style totally fits the old-school vibe, which I loved. Coffee was good, though that Tonic + Espresso is a bit different. Awesome latte art and a great open space to chill. Friendly folks working there, good atmosphere – just a heads up, it can get a little noisy with the biker shop next door. Still, I'll be back for sure

Devout coffee is a nice spot to grab a latte. They have a pretty chill space, friendly staff, and some food, too. It’s not the most convenient place to park near, but it’s usually not a big walk from wherever you find to park on the street. My main complaint is that they don’t really offer any flavor options for their lattes. That said, their plain latte is quite good for what it is. So, if you’re more of a coffee purist, you likely will very much enjoy their drinks. I personally like a bit of a sweeter flavored drink.

Devout Coffee is a pretty chill spot tucked away in Niles, Fremont. The vibe here is relaxed and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy quality coffee in a peaceful setting. Their coffee beans are top-notch, and the latte I had was incredibly smooth—a real treat for coffee lovers. That said, there are a few downsides. The inside seating is very limited, which might be a drawback if you’re hoping to hang out or work indoors. They also don’t offer flavored syrups or add-ons for their coffee, so if you enjoy a touch of sweetness or variety in your cup, you might need to adjust your expectations. Additionally, the baristas seemed a little unwelcoming, which took away from the overall experience. Another thing to note is that it’s slightly expensive. We ordered two lattes, one butter croissant, and one almond croissant, and our total came to $26 plus tip. While the quality is undeniable, the pricing might feel a bit steep for what you get. Overall, it’s a great place for coffee purists who appreciate well-crafted beverages, but the service, setup, and pricing could use a little improvement.

Used to be a 5 star a week before the transition started , I’m a regular customer, they got no interest to make coffee. Look at the shape , milk is not at all good it is not boiled or foamed . Actual barista and management changed I guess . No more going to Devout . It’s just another gas station coffee ..

Whenever we’re in town, we always stop by Devout coffee. They used to have the best espresso & tonic. We tried to come here twice and they kept saying they don’t have them. So I ordered matcha. Ehhh. I don’t think this coffee shop is worth to go anymore.

When I bought my bag of beans I thought their bags felt lighter/ smaller than a typical 12 oz bag, but still bought it for $24. Disappointed to find when I got home, that my intuition was correct and that their 12oz/340g bags are actually under filled, weighing in at 330g including the weight of the bag. (Edit: weighed the bag itself which weights 15.7g, so really the effective weight of the beans is 315g.) I love supporting local coffee shops but can’t get behind this kind of business practice. :(

I was visiting the area with a friend and ended up visiting this place after reading the reviews . Easy to find with plenty of parking around. Coffee indeed was good . We ordered a cortado and cold brew . The person who took our order seemed too tired to work but the employees were very friendly with customers in front of us . Was too busy talking to them and the rest of the orders were being delayed. The patio is nice to sit if the weather allows it . Few sweet pastries are available at site too. It’s a good spot but probably famous because of the lack of other good coffee shops . 2nd visit was even more disappointing. No food or coffee packs to buy . I ordered a cortado which they have a different name . Coffee was cold and when I informed the staff , he said ‘ it’s as warm as I can make ‘ . Then he made another one which was so hot that you can burn your mouth . Horrible barista skills . I recently went to philz coffee too and they were amazing compared to this place .
