I've been to Golden Outside every day this week. I've had their latte, chai latte, and matcha latte, all delicious. The owner is very nice, quite knowledgeable, and even makes good foam art. Highly recommended.

A neighborhood gem! Such a cute local spot with really excellent espresso drinks (and some fun match and hojicha drinks that I didn’t get to try). The white chocolate cardamom syrup in my latte was very creative and delicious. I went on a rainy day but on sunny days it has lovely sidewalk seating where you can sunbathe on a quiet street.

I’m so happy this place is open! I dropped in today on my way home and picked up a chai latte. It was just what I was craving! The owner is very welcoming and friendly! The shop has an abundance of beautiful and healthy plants that are also for sale. I know where I’ll be purchasing my next plant from. :) Definitely recommend checking this place out.

I came for the coffee and learned they do organic green juice, sell plants, and probably 2-3 other things coming up. I got the Golden Oat Latte Quiet, quaint and quick.

I love this cute and charming little coffee shop! Reasonably priced and delicious drinks with great service from Sherry, Alex, and the rest of the staff. They serve Cat & Cloud coffee and pastries from The Midwife and the Baker and Good Luck Bakery. Stop by next time you’re in the neighborhood!

I never write reviews; I adore this place. Excellent craft coffee, cute little store front, and the energy of the whole place and the woman who runs it always puts me in such a good mood to start the day. If you aren’t sure if you’ve had striking, interesting, and well brewed coffee, get a natural roast for pour over with no milk or sugar (but be prepared for something different than you’re used to)

I adore my local coffee shop. Not just cuz it’s hyper local but because the cappuccino is truly always just right—matcha latte, hojicha latte are real good too. Their miniature pastry selection is good. It’s sweet to be surrounded by all the gorgeous potted plants for sale. Owner, Shelly, is the kindest, friendliest barista I’ve ever met.

I love this cafe! I've been coming here for months now and stopping by during my morning dog walk always brightens my day. Sherry and Dayton are wonderful owners and create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The coffee is great, as well as the pastries. I haven't bought any plants yet but they all look very happy and healthy. Looking forward to my next visit!

So happy to have this new cafe in Oakland! I got an oat milk latte for the first time there today. It was delicious. Coffee is really good! Can’t wait to try other drinks. The owners are also so sweet and the place is so cute. They also have pastries! I’m excited to come back!

Excellent coffee made with care and attention to detail. Simple menu with most of the classic options and a few specialties. Robust plant selection for sale inside too. They could do a little better with signage and some indication that they are open or closed, but would recommend as a better neighborhood coffee shop.
