Terrace Gifts & Coffee

Now that we can bring our dogs again it is convenient to sit on the patio and have a coffee or breakfast. There was one. Where they were not even letting dogs on the patio for no good reason. They reverted the rule.

The breakfast burritos are surprisingly well stuffed with eggs and cheese and the hot sauce is a good amount of spice. Not too hot not too mild.

They do not have straws. Take your own. If you need it.

Patio is slanted, but it is covered with a tent. There are wooden benches to sit on. They bring you out your food if you are eating there.

I haven't had a salad this good in a very long time. I hope if it's a seasonal salad, they replace it with something just as good, because, Yum. The coffee isn't the best in Oakland, but it's serviceable. It seems to be pretty packed often, so don't be surprised to wait for a table to open up. As such, DO NOT expect to be able to park yourself and work on a computer inside here. There are large signs posted everywhere saying "No computers!!" Which I somewhat understand, but I don't see the harm if it's not busy. It seems like people should be able to use responsible freedom on that, but....I digress...

Loved the vibe, and it felt like we were in England for our lunch. The food was delicious and tasted like homemade.

What a gem nessled in the hills of Piedmont. Husband and wife pair own the chic coffee and gift store, which also has some nice bistro options - specifically liege waffles. The sound track is a pleasant French style coffee shop. I am not sure I can say enough good things about this location. It is a stellar experience.

I love this little spot. Great for outdoor eating (they also have inside seating). Don't sleep on their specials!

Jewel of a place. Food is really good and the place is fun.

This place is my neighborhood go-to. The level of culinary excellence is super high. Do not underestimate the quality here, as it’s unlike any other cafe. From coffee drinks to daily specials, everything is very well thought out in terms of ingredients and flavor.

Great breakfasts. Cozy, friendly, personalized atmosphere. I got a gift certificate there for friends in the area and they were delighted. It was hard to reach the coffee shop at first by phone to purchase the gift certificate, because the answering tape did not take messages, but once I reached them by email, they were very attentive and helpful.

A quaint and cozy eatery that I visited twice in recent months and both times I left with a happy stomach and spirits. The lunch menu had a number of great offerings but I choose my favorite selection, an avocado BLT, and was pleased by the generous portions of all four ingredients. The thick bread appeared to have been slathered with a tasty garlicky spread which set it off! My companions reported that they were equally pleased with their selections. There is free Wi-Fi and a cute little gift shop to check out if that is your thing. Overall this is a pleasant spot to relax and gab with your friends between bites of the yummy food.

Jalapeno bagel with plain cream cheese and bacon. Always a great place to come.

This is a must go to place to enjoy a neighborhood Cafe with the nicest staff that Work to make your lunch relaxing and friendly! I will go back again the next time I am in town.

Coffee, breakfast, lunch in a comfortable neighborhood spot. Many small dining rooms so it's never too crowded. They recently expanded the seating, as they moved the gift sales to a new store in Rockridge.

Altho the menu is limited, the food and coffee drinks are top quality. The place is quiet and intimare. There is indoor and outdoor covered eating areas. Good gifts in their shop as well.

This is a real find inviting atmosphere friendly people and good food. I like to eat on their little patio. They let you stay and talk without bothering you. Stop in after walking around lake Temescal.

Hidden gem! Cozy, beautiful decor. People are friendly. A place that raises your spirit!

Yummy and wonderful services. Very friendly owner. Well extra mile to make your lunch enjoyable and comfortable.

I l❤ve this place since I’ve been there.
My favorite is ‘Tuna sandwich’ and coffee!
Staffs are also friendly!!
Every Saturday I want to have a brunch at Terrace.

This is a great spot for freelancers or writers looking to work for the afternoon. Good food, good coffee, and plenty of space. Love the easy, family vibe.

Great local sandwich and bakery shop. If you're lucky, you can spot some deer across the road!
