Shapeshifters Cafe

Love the expanded menu and design of the cafe. Firebrand breads, house made treats and teas, cinnamon syrup! Delicious sandwiches (which you can half and half!) and a cozy vibe.

The space is a beautiful renovation of classic residential home. I had the French toast special, which was only $10! I watched them make the sauce and it was incredible. Not many places in the Bay Area where you get this combination of price and quality. Iced coffee was solid too. Will 💯 return when I am back in the area.

A great Oakland gem with breakfast and lunch options. Their coffee is delicious, and they have a nice sunny back patio. Not overpriced, and the staff is very friendly. A very good brunch option when you want to avoid the crowds and actually be able to sit down and chat.

Absolutely perfect. Sausage sandwich is a masterpiece. All the items I had here had high quality ingredients and careful execution. I rolled up at 6:30am expecting a cold start, but they were already rolling, busy. Cops get coffee here in the mornings, good sign for a neighborhood restaurant.

The special today was a Reuben sandwich, this is hands down the best Reuben I have had since moving to the Bay almost 2 years ago! This place is clutch!

This cafe is awesome! A hidden gem. The coffee beans are hand-roasted here in Oakland by Mr. Espresso and you can taste the love! The staff is friendly and all the baked goods are fresh and yummy. I am so happy to have discovered this lovely spot.

Their Turkey pastrami might be the best sandwich I've ever eaten! Great Coffee! Amazing sandwiches and salads and arguably the best breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich available in the Bay are located here!

I had the house sausage sandwich which was pretty fantastic. A tad on the pricey side for sandwiches, so it's a once a week treat for me, but it's a treat indeed. The ambience is pretty nice as well.

Really tasty sanwiches! There is some real magic going into these sanwiches. They are not huge, or especially creative sounding, but they always achieve amazing flavors. I would say these are the best-crafted sandwiches in Oakland.

This is what a coffee shop should be - local, friendly, affordable and a comfortable place to just sit and relax. That perfectly describes Autobahn, which not only has some great fairtrade coffee and espresso drinks (chai tea was especially awesome), but also a decent selection of fresh pastries and a breakfast/lunch menu as well. The only downside is the somewhat out-of-the-way location. With that said, its only a 5 minute walk from the Old Oakland neighborhood, and there is ample street parking right in front of it.

Lovely quiet spot for your morning/brunch cravings. Quick service with a smile. Vegan/Veggie friendly menu with scrumptious additions.

No frills cafe open early with made to order food.

Recently moved to Oakland from New Hampshire, and this is one of the first places that kept me as a repeat customer. The bread they use for their sandwiches is amazing.

A small, casual, independent restaurant with good, freshly made food. Nice outdoor dining area in the back. Friendly staff.

This is my favorite lunch spot in Oakland! Super yummy, healthy, friendly, and a really cute and shaded outdoor patio in back.

Best Philly Cheesecake I've had in a long time! Nice small place with great food.

Excellent coffee. Great breakfast delicious and fresh. I will make this my regular stop...

Good folks, good coffee, and good food. Great place to grab a bite.

The spicy sausage sandwhich is superb, and so is the customer service.

Simple and DELICIOUS! The baguette is top notch and I suggest the sausage!
