Bicycle is my favorite cafe in the Jack London Area. They've got great cold brew and espresso beverages. I love that they have macadamia nut milk (which is tasty and pretty difficult to find) and their dairy free options don't cost anything extra. The pastry options are also quite good, the Mochi muffins especially. The empendas from Javi's are also really good savory options. I really the like the vibe. The staff are also super friendly and the owner is frequently behind the register. It's a great third place to get work done.

Coffee is great! They have a variety of alternative milks. My favorite was the macadamia nut milk. The downside (and a big one) is that there isn't a lot of space to sit, hangout and enjoy your coffee.

Picked up a nutella cardamom kouign amann to snack on for breakfast. I thought the addition of the nutella was quite unique since I usually only see plain ones. The pastry was fluffy and soft to the bite, with a scoop of nutella on top. I would have preferred the nutella throughout for even distribution but I'm not sure if that's feasible with this pastry. The cardomom could be tasted in every bite but was not overpowering. It was super tasty but I would have also liked a more caramelized crust. I really liked that they offer other baked goods from local places like Third Culture. Really nice to have just a walk away from me.

I love this place! First coffee shop I visited when moving to Jack London Square, and it's my go-to. Their cappuccinos are super good. When I get a cappuccino to have there, it's in a big 'ol cup. Yum. They play good music, the vibe is always nice and chill. I think out of any coffee shop, they have the raddest designed merch. I picked up a shirt. Their whole branding is killer and please take home some of their beans. Your mornings/evenings/nights will appreciate the flavor. They will also grind the beans for you if you do pour-overs at home.

I really love coming here. Their cappuccino is to die for! Everyone's super friendly and they will even grind your beans you purchase for your pour-over needs.

Pastries are yummy and the coffee is legit. So Pre-pandemic Bicycle coffee used to have their location across the street from this one and it was chill then too but the vibe was different. This location is a little more refined, with their coffee making practices gotten down to a "T". They're quick and still nice. They're usually pretty busy but the lines move quickly.

I've been in Oakland for years and it's the first time I've visited this coffee shop. Oh my gosh what an amazing place. The coffee is outstanding and the pastries are the best I've ever had. They have these mochi donuts. Whoever thought of such a wonderful thing? The service could not have been better. Custom-made mocha drink for my friend came out in 60 seconds. My coffee was perfect temperature and they have non-fat milk, none of that 2% crap. Dining room is immaculately clean and very coffee roaster looking. Found convenient parking on the street, but would not recommend leaving your car for any length of time. And definitely don't leave anything visible, your windows will be smashed. One of my favorite things here, diagrams for every beverage product. Clear descriptions with images describing exactly what goes into every one of their fufuy coffee drinks. I generally get plain coffee with milk, but it's so helpful for someone who is relatively new to the fufu coffee world to pick a beverage when they have no idea what goes into it. If this place tried they could easily beat Starbucks hands down.

We passed by this coffee shop because there was like a pop-up sale nearby. I needed a good cold cup of coffee and this was a really good fix. They had some interesting options. We got their two of their Bicycle Coffee in Tokyo drinks which was the Matcha Lemonade and Espresso Ramune. They were both $5.25 just very reasonable. Staff was super nice and gave me a good recommendations and even mentioned that if I didn't like the drink, they could do something and help me figure out what would work best. I'm is really cool. The coffee shop itself is really presentable. With plenty of seating area and you can also work there since they had sockets where you can charge your laptop, phone, etc. I love the vibe of this place overall in the music that they were playing was cool as well. I just wish they had more locations in the bay.

I've been a fan of Bicycle Coffee since they were just a bicycle delivered iced coffee service at local farmers markets. Loved their OG shop just across the street from this new, current home which is brighter and more state of the art. But while the digs have changed, their roasted and brewed coffees remains the same. And I love having this shop just a block away from home. You can still find straight up hot and iced coffees as well as espresso drinks in their Jack London Square shop. They also have a pastry case for a nibble to accompany your drinks. Limited seating both inside and on the sidewalk outside. This is the warehouse district, so expect to see forklifts running produce from trucks to wholesale warehouses. The shop is also just a block from the Oakland estuary, which makes for a lovely setting to enjoy your coffee. I'm also loving their matcha drinks, and am currently crushing on their iced matcha lattes with oatmilk and vanilla syrup sweetener. Absolutely delicious! I do miss their old "free coffee Fridays" from back in the day. And I wish their hours were a bit later than their daily 3pm closing. But that's a small price to pay for having Bicycle Coffee in the neighborhood.

Bicycle coffee has cycled to a new site just across from it's old one. Metered street parking only. Not many. Seating inside and out, just a few. Single barista on duty post noon. Offerings posted on back wall behind counter. Not easy to read. Another copy near entrance would make ordering easier. Offerings: lots of latte variants, a few coffee standards, cold brew, kombucha, empanada, mochi muffins, boba drinks.. Service quick upon reaching counter. Basically order, pour & go. Drink: dark roast drink coffee (3.75) -initially slightly harsh. When cooled, it was smooth... -not as nuanced as some brews, still preferable to most. 4.5 stars not a stellar experience due to parking issues & lack of prior knowledge of offerings. Covfefe is fab!
