Caffe Teatro Oakland Reviews
The person at the front was incredibly nice. I got to try their food through TooGoodToGo but I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu. The pesto pasta had great flavor and the grilled chicken was still juicy. The spring roll is a must try!
I ordered the rotisserie chicken sandwich one day and the fried chicken sandwich today. Both great. Both hot and delicious

This is my spot! The food is fresh, there are a variety of options to choose from and the prices are great. The breakfast burrito is delicious.
Best Lunch/Salad Bar in downtown Oakland. The wok cooked sole is my favorite item
That chicken verde posole is fire. Wow, it was so so good. Coming back for more.
Hot pastrami sandwich👍
Fantastic! Clean ! Fresh EVERYTHING ! I am a tea drinker , it has been a struggle to find a properly brewed cup as the water is never the correct temp. As I was grateful, the kind lady (should have gotten her name) said this is why they don’t keep hot water at the self serve , it’s doesn’t stay hot enough The salad bar was so absolutely enticing , you can tell absolutely everything is made fresh daily . I will be a contributed patron at their establishment .
My coworkers and I come here religiously. There's a variety of foods to choose from a full salad bar to soup, to hot Asian foods. I typically make myself a healthy salad and add some solefish or grilled chicken to my tray for a super quick lunch to grab and go

I stop here a couple of times a week; cute on the inside, fair amount of variety, and friendly staff.

This is a deli, serving both breakfast and lunch. They have an array of sandwiches, salad bar, and hot food bar. Some of it is price by order, some by weight. This place is very busy. There's also outdoor seating.
Staff was nice. I ordered a Corned Beef sandwich. Sat on a bench in the plaza to eat it. When i unwrapped it and separated the halves, presentation looked amazing. To my surprise, after taking a few bites, there was only meat in half (of the half) sandwich. So after the meat was gone from my first half, i was left with just lettuce & pickles in the rest of the bread. i opened the other half of my sandwich and the same. They pile the meat in the center of the roll, so when cut in half, it looks packed with meat, but then there’s no meat in the back. I went inside and told the guy at the register that they need to spread the meat across the roll. Even if i guess it appears as a thin sandwich. Nobody wants to pay full price ($12) for a half bread half meat sandwich. Then just charge half price!

Terrible customer service… Not acceptable. I was a first time customer and I was browsing the menu as the associate already seemed impatient to begin. I decided to order a burrito I asked for steak and thought to add shrimp but, I asked the associate for shrimp if they had it and he responded like is that up there. Referring to the menu but I didn’t know I’m new. I canceled immediately.
