Im Moment Kaffee Oakland Reviews
Our first time here, ordered the chicken wrap, which is amazing!!! The owner complimented a cheese cake while we wait, cuz they made a mistake. This shows that they care about their customer. ❤️ Love the atmosphere here. Lots of table and seats to hang out. Keep in mind about the laptop rules. The idea 💡 is to hang out with friends and enjoy the food in the Moment. 😉 Food taste fresh and healthy and love the drink here, sweetness is perfect not too sweet. U will leave here with 3H. Health, Hearty, and Happy!
Incredibly positive surprise after wandering around rockridge to avoid a wait in line. The atmosphere of the cafe is warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly courteous and friendly. The drinks were exceptional, with both the matcha and coffee being exceptional. The tofu frittata was excellent, even as a non-vegetarian. My favorite coffee in the area!
What a great find, this multicultural German / Eritrean coffee shop almost flew under my radar, but luckily I gave the place a try. I have no regrets. They have an excellent selection of coffees, a good array of pastries, German "brot" toasts, Eritrean Habesha chicken all with a touch of Eritrean spices. The charming owner has a fascinating background drawing from all of the above cultures. When you visit the shop, it will be a treat to make her acquaintance and learn about her heritage. I enjoyed a latte which had a distinctive coffee flavor as you would expect from Ethiopian beans, where coffee was first originated. The pretzel sandwiches are to die for, a mix of fresh cucumbers and tomatoes along with an accompaniment of your choice, I chose a simple cheese, enclosed in a delicious pretzel bun soft and doughy to the taste. The location on College Ave. was very welcoming with plenty of seating and a subdued selection of music playing. They have an upper loft-like area and a lower table based seating area next to the Barista's area. There is also seating outside on the sidewalk, and the loft area has a bar-like seating looking out onto the street where you can watch the people walk by. The service was very nice, partially by the owner and later by a dedicated barista.
This place feels very special and intentionally welcoming and warm. Great spot for those looking for community, connection, and good energy. Their cappuccino was solid and the prosciutto toast was very well seasoned and so delicious! Very excited to come back for more.
A cute little place where you can get a coffee or a small lunch. There’s space to sit down inside. I had a bagel with salmon, I liked it and would recommend.
I love im Moment Kaffee as much as I love Semi, the sweetest cafe owner and barista you could ever meet! Her cafe is my go-to spot for all of my friend dates--I love sitting by the front windows catching up over a cup of latte and (turkey) sandwich (my favorite!). Come in for the good vibes, Semi's smiles, delicious coffee and/or food, there's no way one can go wrong.
Love this place, so nice to have a good coffee shop in the neighborhood. The coffee is delicious and strong, and the people couldn’t be nicer. The pastries and toast are also great to accompany the drinks. This is our new favorite spot!
Like many place in this part of the strip - a totally understated gem. The coffee was excellent, the staff friendly, super clean place where it’s pleasant to sit. I just wish the advertising was more prominent. It took me too long to find.

I love this place. The staff members are warm and kind, the ambiance is chill, the coffee is solid, and the cheesecake is out of this world. One of my favorite spots. Much recommended.
This was my first time going, but I found this cafe to have a perfect atmosphere. I have only tried their variety of matcha/coffees, but the food looked pretty good as well. Customer service was great too, very kind and friendly, definitely will come back.
Love everything about it! This cafe is right next to my office and every time I go, I'm just delighted. The sandwiches are healthy, the bread is great, the food is high quality and handmade, and the ladies at the front are very kind. Great prices too! I highly recommend.
their hibiscus lemon ginger tea is house made and absolutely delicious! very friendly folks working as well. will definitely be returning very soon
This is, hands-down, the nicest café in Rockridge. The owners here always provide exceptional service and excellent food/drinks. It also has great drinks in the evening if you want a place to relax.
First time here and loved it! The chicken wrap was so good. Staff were friendly and even gave us cheesecake while we waited — really nice of them. The space is cozy, perfect for hanging out. Food is fresh, drinks are not too sweet — just right. I’ll be back for sure!
The small shop front cannot prepare you for just how spacious and fun the space is or how delicious the food is. We came here looking for a nice laptop free atmosphere and ending up finding some of the best dishes in the bay. They are a great option if you’re vegetarian and now I’m obsessed with getting more Eritrean food. A new staple for our family and a hidden gem of the bay.
Amazing food and amazing service! Baristas were very kind and the owner came to personally check in on us and make sure the food was up to par. It was so good in fact that we ordered seconds to save for later. The chicken wrap is, quite literally, probably the best I’ve ever had in my life.
Nice place. Great coffee and cheesecake. Quite a lot of room and different sitting options. Beautiful, friendly people behind the bar. You have to find street parking.
I rarely make such review but it's well deserved. This is a wonderful place. The service is great, warm and welcoming people. They offer a light and a medium roast coffee drip, delicious blueberry cake, bagels and almond croissant TO DIE FOR.
One of the best coffee experience I've had! The coffee was perfectly brewed, rich and smooth with just right amount of depth. The atmosphere was cool and inviting, and the staff was incredible friendly and knowledgeable. The selection of the pastries was top-notch, adding the perfect touch to my coffee. Definitely a place I'll be returning to highly recommend

Great location for finding parking and having a coffee before you stroll through the Rockridge shops. The lighting is as chill as the music so bring a sexy friend. Love it!
