Cafe Cordoba Oakland Reviews
I love that my work allows me to travel the bay and find awesome little lunch spots like this. I was met by extremely friendly staff who explained their menu a bit and also that they had been open for almost 3 years. I ordered a pancake breakfast and decided to try the cinnamon coffee which was wonderful change of pace for me. This would totally be a go to spot if I ever have business around here again. The neighbors are very lucky to have a wonderful Cafe like this nearby.
Awesome neighborhood mexican cafe. Delicious chilaquiles (salsa rojo/verde are excellent and with cotija cheese), great coffee. Super friendly service.
The iced coffee was delicious! The coffee mugs were so cute and the food was amazing! The portion sizes are perfect! Staff were super friendly too!
Just stopped by here this morning for a breakfast sandwich and iced coffee. So happy this neighborhood has a cafe like this!!! I got the breakfast sandwich and an iced caramel coffee. Sandwich includes: lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, fried egg, and bacon. So full after eating it, it's delicious :) My iced caramel coffee is very tasty too! Forgot to take a picture but trust me it's good! The cashier who helped me was soooo nice. I asked them how long they've been open and he said around 9 months. So happy to have this cafe in the neighborhood!! Will definitely be my go to place from now on for breakfast and a coffee. Happy to support a local business and based on other reviews I think it's family owned as well. I took my order to go this time but there is seating inside and there were people in there enjoying their food and coffee. I'll stay and eat there next time :)
Great spot for breakfast and lunch. I went there to order takeout for the first time on my way to work when I had a half day. The options by the airport are few, so thought I’d try Cafe Cordoba. This place is clearly a staple of the community with owners and staff that have great professionalism and pride in the restaurant - and they should because it’s all delicious. I ordered and grilled chicken sandwich and fries. The packaging was insanely well done. The sandwich was able to breathe and still crisp 30 minutes later when I ate it. The fries tasted freshly cut. I asked my colleague to order our next staff meetup day lunches from here. We’ll be back.
The Mazapan coffee is amazing! The food was super delicious as well. Very well seasoned and filling 😋
I love this cute Café, they have wonderful food and coffee. The people are very sweet and attentive, they made me feel welcome and at home.
The person working the register was super friendly, the food came out fast and was super affordable! 14$ for a whole breakfast plate PLUS a coffee
Lovely place for breakfast. The people are Sweet and caring, and the food is clearly prepared with love. Their breakfast sandwich is very good. The café de olla is also very good and they serve it in these beautiful mugs.
You can tell they put love and passion into their food and drinks. Made fresh. Delicious!
Best breakfast in town! Very friendly and sweet.
Awesome ambiance and food. Even more awesome was the service. The person serving me was very kind and offered recommendations.

Solid and delicious breakfast burrito and lovely cafe de olla!
5-Star Review: I recently visited this cafe and was absolutely blown away! The service was incredibly friendly—everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was beyond delicious; every bite felt like a treat, with flavors that were perfectly balanced and fresh. What truly set this place apart, though, was the wonderful Christmas atmosphere. The festive decorations, cozy lighting, and holiday music created such a warm and magical vibe. It felt like stepping into a winter wonderland! I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for great food and a cheerful, holiday-inspired experience, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The staff are all so friendly and sweet. We got the breakfast sandwich, El Amanecer, breakfast burrito, and chilaquiles and they were all really delicious, but what had me coming back was the rompope coffee. First time I've had it, and it's the BEST coffee I've ever had. I'm glad we're only visiting family for the weekend, otherwise my wallet would be in trouble haha. But the next time we visit, I'm definitely coming back for more delicious food and drinks. Definitely worth every penny spent.
Café Córdoba is hands down my favorite coffee spot in Oakland! It’s this small, family-owned place that just feels like home every time I walk in. The people who work there are super sweet, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. The coffee? Always amazing—rich and flavorful, just how I like it. There’s something special about the vibe here, like you’re part of their family. Whether I’m grabbing a quick coffee or hanging out for a bit, I always feel welcome. It’s definitely a little gem in Oakland that I can’t get enough of!
The food was great. We got the crujiente burrito, and the carnitas sandwich. Both were great and tasted homemade. We also ordered the iced mazapán latte and the rompope late both delicious. The service was excellent very welcoming.
This was a great find for a quiet Saturday morning breakfast spot! We were looking for pancakes but also enjoyed their chilaquiles. The games were a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed a round of mancala. The coffee was delicious and my sons enjoyed the fresh fruit on top of the pancakes! Reasonable prices and they also have WiFi available! Decent location on the corner but we had to park a couple blocks away.
The service was amazing. My dad and I were treated like family right from the start. Cafe is clean and looks modern. The homemade pastries were yummy! The iced coffee was strong lol in a good way and the food was delicious. My dad enjoyed his chicken salad too. I’d definitely visit again.

My friend and I were in a stressful situation and needed a place to sit down and make phone calls while eating lunch. There was café Cordova, and it looked decent, so we went in. Boy were we glad we did. The atmosphere has a positive vibe that really helped us chill out: clean, modern, nice relaxing playlist. The service from the young lady behind the counter was just excellent: warm, friendly and helpful. The food was darn good and she was nice enough to give us the Wi-Fi code so we could make our calls. Such a relief. Cafe Cordoba is an oasis of positive energy.

I recently stumbled upon this cafe and quickly fell in love with the vibe. This is a mom-and-pop in Fruitvale that serves delicious meals and equally tasty beverages. The staff is very friendly, hospitable, and warm! Glad to be able to support local business here in the East Bay. This local cafe needs more visibility and the community needs to rally behind it to keep it going!
This place is pretty great! I like there food atmosphere is good coffee is good though i do feel like some of the menu items are missing a little something.

I was in the area & thought I would try it based on the good reviews. Unfortunately the $18 Carne asada burrito fell short in my expectations. The meat was very bland with a lot of fat/grizzle, not sure what type of meat they use. The service was great, place is nice & clean but nobody there at noon for lunch, so maybe better for breakfast.
