Motivāt Coffee Roasters

I love this local coffee roaster. I usually have their espresso or americano and it truly is one of my favourite spots. They roast the coffee themselves and they have a rotating menu of coffee beans. I would also buy their beans to make my own drinks at home and they were always a nice blend! The staff is also knowledgeable and kind, there is no indoor space but there is a little terrace on the street to enjoy your drink and/or pastry.

This coffee had been so deliciously sweet and showing a strong taste of strawberries (be aware there was no sugar involved in the cappuccino) and the baristas had both been really nice. I also got a V60 filter, which also highlighted the berry taste. Very nice (taste) experience 🫶 I even left a conference and took the e-scooter to get this coffee again 😍

Excellent coffee, great service. The seating is outdoors only, pleasant, but very limited, so a few points off there.

I was one of the very few people who'd sit there and work; vast majority of customers just did pick up.

A charming spot in downtown Oakland, where great service meets quality coffee. The owner’s dedication to improvement, seeking customers feedback, and surprising us with special treats, be it coffee or pastries, adds a delightful touch to the experience.

Hidden gem of a coffee roaster tucked away in downtown Oakland. Their cappuccino was amazing, with a nutty smooth taste despite not using alt milk. They have a selection of pastries, outdoor patio seating, and metered street parking around the area. Overall, I would recommend!

My order: Oat milk latte
Espresso beans used: Columbian
Price: $5.50 which is average for Oakland
Outdoor seating: yes
Indoor seating: no, this coffee roaster is located below a co-working space. The co-working space is not available to customers of the coffee roaster
Wheelchair friendly: yes

Fun fact: they donate $1 for every bag of beans purchased. Their coffees are also single origin. In addition, if you ask a barista to tell you a joke, they will.

Cute coffee shop find. The inside seating looked nice and spacey. The pastries at the front were really good, and the cortada had very rich flavor. There was a cute outside area, as well.

A friendly spot in downtown Oakland for yummy coffee drinks with an added bonus...pastries from Starter Bakery! Service is welcoming.

This coffee is special. I haven't had a drink this tasty in a long time. Every sip was better than the last. They were really friendly and service was super quick. Please come here.

Such a gem. Delicous coffee. Mellow outdoor vibe. Great staff, so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

The baristas are incredibly nice & personable. The coffee is always made to perfection.

A small coffee joint in the opening of a co-working space.

Decent coffee for a non-descript place on the block. Not masses of seating, but when we came at 3pm it was deadsville anyhow.

This is by far one the best coffee spots in the Bay Area, possibly in our country. If are in the Bay or visiting this lovely state then stop by, this is a must stop for all coffee loves. I give thanks to God, my Lord and Savior for this company. THANK YOU JESUS FOR COFFEE!!

I had the honey lavender latte it was really good also this strawberry jam filled muffin like croissant 10/10

had a very nice affogato from here today. it's grab-and-go here or just a few outdoor seats.

Kevin made a flavorful iced coffee ☕ for my first experience. I highly recommend it!

Super tasty & unique third wave espresso roast. Delicious cortado.

Favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. Simple outdoor seating, WiFi, great coffee, great service, awesome baristas.

I went there for the first time today with a friend. The barista was really sweet and my cappuccino with oat milk was delicious! I will be back. Cute spot! The company has a great mission too.

This place has the best oat milk cappuccino in Oakland by far. I don’t know why this one tastes so much better than all of the other oat milk cappuccinos out there, but it really, really does. Every time.
