Haddon Hill Cafe

Great drip coffee! I wish I had asked what beans they used. My stomach is sensitive so I don’t drink coffee often but this 12 oz drip I got was so flavorful! Also some very tasty pastries, my friend and I got the caramelized onion and mushroom croissant and I definitely want to try the guava one the next time I go. Friendly service and a cute neighborhood spot. Not really a sit down space, but they do have outdoor seating for people to use while they wait or if it’s just two of you. Great place to grab coffee and a bite and then take a little walk by the lake.

This coffeehouse with its nondescript storefront is a local favorite with people lined up from the time it opens. My place for coffee while waiting for my laundry two doors down. Features amazing baked goods from the pizza place on the next block (same owners, I think), including morning buns, sourdough cheese rolls, and a delicious Khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread with spices and a runny egg on top).

Super nice, cute spot. Very understated, in a fun way. In fact, if you weren’t paying attention driving by you’d barely know it was a coffee shop. Their pastries were delicious and the coffee was great. Awesome little gem to have walking distance, because it seems like a perfect lazy Sunday morning choice.

Highly recommended. Pastry were very tasty.
Will definitely come back!

Love this cozy cute little place right across our apartment. The service is always so friendly and warm. Quite a few seating options and more outside :)

Super coffee (so many options even for non dairy users) with great varieties of savory and sweet baked goodies. Have enjoyed their sourdough rolls stuffed sausage and peppers and their veg version of muchrooms and onions. Needless to say I am in love with their almond and chocolate croissants :)

It's a really lovely local place tucked in within our neighbourhood and still so close to Lake Merritt and other places in Oakland.

Highly recommend :)

A fabulous cafe in the Cleveland Heights neighborhood of Oakland. Near the intersection of Wesley and Brooklyn, the cafe has a well-deserved reputation for its baked goods and coffee. Outdoor seating in front of the store.

My croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky, and my latte was bursting with flavor. The roast is a little brighter than I usually choose; next time I'll ask if there are options. The proprietor was friendly and engaging, and service was prompt. Only potential minus, at 2pm on a summer day all the seating was outdoors, albeit on a quiet neighborhood street. Would absolutely go back.

Lol I’ve gone here 4 times in a couple weeks. It’s amazing. Pastries are large, mushroom one is filled with flavor! Latte is pretty good, coffee strong. Expensive. And little cute seating. Really lovely spot.

This is by far one of the best caffee around the area. The staff is very friendly and you can tell that they have a passion for what they do. Their pastries are baked less fresh every morning less than a block away. So you know you are getting fresh and handmade quality food.

Coffee is great but the pastries are a trick! I've been visually duped three to four times until I finally learned my lesson - they all look delicious but not worth it. Again, their coffee is great.

This is a cute little cafe in the neighborhood, I was pleasantly surprised to see khachapuri on the menu. It’s a Georgian pastry with eggs and cheese that I’ve only had when made by family friends.

I had the lychee iced tea, it was great. Also cafe is very dog friendly since the seating is outdoor only, which is a plus for me.

Stopped by for just a croissant and it was delicious and gooey. Great to take to the cascades ans enjoy on a sunny bench.

Local establishment with good coffee and pastries. Outdoor seating. One block from lakefront.

Great coffee and good pastries. Nice little
Oakland gem.

Nice place to relax and enjoy some coffee. They have great baked items such as almond croissants and everything is well priced.

I love Haddon Hill Cafe. I've lived in the area for 7+ years and Haddon Hill is by FAR my favorite cafe in the east bay. I recently moved and it's one of the places I will miss most in Oakland. For the starters, the espresso beverages are 100. It's hard to find a place that makes a good Mocha - most places overdo it with the chocolate but HH makes very well balanced coffee / espresso beverages. The pastries are always delicious and made fresh with their proprietary sourdough from their sister company, Leaning Tower Pizza. (KILLER PIZZA BY THE WAY!) The staff at HH are always lovely and friendly. HH also has a great community vibe - everyone in the neighborhood is super nice. Don't waste your time at other cafes :)

A great tiny cozy neighborhood spot. On the expensive side but with very very good pastries. On nice days it's lovely to sit outside on the sidewalk! There's a piano inside the shop but it's not in great condition and I think they mostly use it to display flyers? Flyers are great but you can totally use a piano for, you know, music.
Anyway the coffee here is also delicious and it is very dog and little kid friendly.

I think the coffee/espresso is good, but that's not why I come here. It's for the rotating selection of great pastries, the impressive teas (though a limited selection), and the funky but nice decor and seating. Wifi is available, and there are some plugs for the limited indoor seating. Outdoor seating is great, just a block from the lake. Nice local spot, not too crowded (or big), with a laundromat next door just in case.

Awesome coffee, great GF muffins! Have yummy looking treats for gluten lovers too! A must try if in the area! Almond milk on hand for dairy free peeps. I love visiting my daughter and walking to this coffee cafe to grab a coffee in the morning. Love the piano. Hope to hear someone playing it!☕

Sweet little cafe near Lake Merritt. Nice ambiance. Tables on the sidewalk outside. There's often great music playing -- I asked the barista for his playlist one time -- very interesting picks! I get a latte there, and it's always delicious. Their baked goods are house made, shifted off of ordinary, and far superior to what you will find at other cafes. I love it when I have a chance to go to Haddon Hill Cafe!
