Very cute robot!!! I recommend the foamy hazelnut latte.

great place to grab a coffee or work remotely!

It was my first robot barista. The manager on duty was very nice and the dining area was attractive. I would have loved the opportunity to sit and enjoy the space. Touchscreen to order, it was fast and fresh. The Cappuccino is quite good. I would recommend.

New coffee shop located in Downtown Oakland! The coffee here is fantastic, and the vibe is unbeatable. What sets this place apart is their cool robotic barista—it's a unique experience to watch it craft your perfect cup of coffee. The staff is super friendly and welcoming.

Really cool place! The coffee-making robot is really interesting to see, the coffee is good and the manager is super friendly. Stop by for a coffee if you’re in the area :)

A hidden gem in the heart of downtown Oakland where you can enjoy coffee and some good company. This place has a very nice setting where you can hang out and do your remote business.

Great place to hang out with friends! Nice small place. Robot is pretty cool to watch and makes coffee fast.

Honestly, a great place to go. I had no complaints at all.

Coffee was good and the manager was super friendly. The barista robot is pretty neat :)

This is the best espresso robot I have tried. The robot obeys coffee orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

Cool to see a robot make your coffee but the taste was just okay. I got the foamy oatmilk latte which was a bit weak and not foamy at all

When I went here I was really excited to see the robot make my drink. The human attendant was very friendly and helpful, and I wish him all the best with the business. But essentially, the robot's purpose was to hold a cup in front of one of those machines that just makes you a sub-par latte. And when the robot put the cup down in the cup holder, the cup almost tipped over and spilled out. They did give me a cookie with the coffee, which was a nice bonus, but the cookie was nothing to rave about.

If the AI revolution is as big a scam as this place, we’re really wasting a lot of resources worrying about it. Terrible overpriced coffee. The only thing the robot does is hand it to you, except that doesn’t actually work so the person that works there just does it.

Totally automated as advertised. Easy touch screen. Cute robot. Very stale coffee. Uncomfortable white fluorescent decor.

Dystopic. A robot places the cup and then presses the button on an automatic office style espresso machine. It then places the cup on a stand for you to grab. It's automatic espresso machine coffee - literally, the type of machine in an office. Why? There are real coffee shops in the area. Your money can go towards paying wages to a human that will make you better coffee in a spot with better ambiance. Believe it or not, there is a tip screen when you pay. You must be joking. I am not tipping a robot. 2024 folks. Jesus.

coffee tastes like nothing, robot forgot the cup for one of 2 cups, walk a block, get a coffee somewhere else that actually goes and pays a barista
