City Cup Cafe

Absolutely wonderful little cafe! Quick with delicious espresso drinks and super tasty pastries. Best almond croissants I have ever had! The sandwiches are also spectacular and super fairly priced.
The lady who runs the place is so very sweet and on top of things. She also sells handmade jewelry, which is all beautiful. Great for gifts - to others or yourself.
I will absolutely be back if I’m ever in the area again!

5 Stars because it's right across the street from the IRS. Whether you leave that building happy or sad, both attitudes could use a cold brew and a croissant -- both of which were good.

This cafe is exactly what you need, exactly where you need it.

Considered dropping it to 4 stars for not providing the opportunity to get drunk if that's what you needed after the an IRS meeting instead.

One of my favorite places to get a latte in the area, it tastes great and service is fast and friendly!

Andre Iguodala, GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS & Sam Samhori, CITY CUP CAFFE OWNER, celebrate FOOD, FAMILY & LIFE together. The owner Sam, his wife and their three children are the American dream of who we are as a country. Success through Perseverance by anyone who chooses to do so is the American Dream.

Came here for a chai latte and now I’m a regular they always have fresh sweet fruit too. The service is great and hands down the best chai latte I’ve ever had!

been going for years .. great staff .. open early.. great food ..

Might have the best bagels near downtown Oakland, when there are whole bakeries and bagel shops nearby.

Something about these bagels! Always fresh. Always good.

This is a great place! The owner and the staff are always so friendly. Nice, quality, delicious sandwiches. We always loved getting a new bracelet each week as well that were handmade. My partner and I lived at the domain and ate here at least every day.

Absolutely love this place! The owners are amazing, kind and very friendly. The have many options to choose from and the food is absolutely fantastic! This is my go to place for breakfast and lunch. I always grab a green juice to go with my turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch. You must get the bread heated on the flat iron toaster, wow amazing. Don't forget to add the avocado 😉 tasting. Making me hungry now. If you need that quick pick up they have fresh coffee, flavored red bulls for that big taste and big jum start, lol. I would highly recommend this place. WARNING ⚠ you will get hooked 😋 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome staff - busy and food is always fresh. Love their eggs, salads, sandwiches and soup! Coffee is a blend that is different than most and I'm addicted to it! Family-owned and clean!!

City cup is amazing! I had a team event & they came through last minute with delivery amazing coffee and pastries, thank you Sam!

best service ever !! i love this place

Good casual spot for coffee and food. Open early!

Very nice people and great coffee! Also in a very convenient area if you live or work downtown.

The bagels are really fresh and the drip coffee is the most reasonably priced in the area!

Very delicious food. Very pleasant owner. Helped us very much when we were travelling from Europe! Hope to visit this place again some day!

Whenever I don't prepare in the morning, these guys are here for me. Thanks for keeping me fed & caffinated.

Tired from burnt Starbucks coffee, I'm glad I found this place! Great americanos and good atmosphere. Not enough places like these on the west coast.

The best moules frites in the city! Everything I've eaten here is amazing...escargot, baked camembert, all the bubbly!

Friendly staff and tasty treats. Sandwiches already prepared or made to order. Place is kept clean.
