Great neighborhood spot for excellent coffee. Their coffee is delicious and we also buy our beans from here as they roast them there. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Love this little gem.

Ordered their light drip (Ethiopian blend I think) but came away feeling it was slightly overrated for coffee. The staff was friendly and service great. It’s in an upcoming neighborhood I guess. Will try again given the other reviews and update.

Great spot for coffee conveniently located by the water. Don’t get the boba they offer on Sundays though - overpriced and not that good especially with so many better spots in Chinatown super close by

This is my favorite coffee spot and distributor. They are always incredibly friendly, the price to quality ratio is perfect, and they sell 5lb bags for $50! Plus you get a free coffee with your purchase. Go here and try, you will not regret it.

Always a pleasure dropping in to Bicycle Coffee. Great coffee and super pleasant staff. And of course, there’s nothing like picking up a bag of coffee that was roasted yesterday. Sweet.

Its near public transportation, offers free but slow wifi, a restroom,); has in and outdoor seating (outdoors, a little more space). The coffee was ok; the service couldve been better. They offer free coffee on Fridays!

I am so picky when it comes to place. This place was so relaxing. When I tasted their coffee here, I was so amazed for it has a good mix of flavors. I loved it so much. If you enjoy reading books while having a cup of coffee, they have more interesting books here. Just come!

I was bike commuting around Jack London Square and had a flat. I found Bicycle Coffee and they were kind enough to share the tools and parts i needed to get rolling - from their business fleet of bikes. Matthew and Gavin are great! They deliver coffee on bike - and its fresh-roasted right there on site. Go get a cup - its delicious!

Bicycle Coffee roasts quality coffee, grown by sustainable farms and delivers it by bicycle. Need I say more? Get your bike tuned up every Saturday while you sip on your coffee. Theyre also at Grand Lake Farmers Market on Saturdays.

This coffee shop is original in its concept and coffee. As the name suggests, its popular with cyclists and its themed that way. They have cold brew CBD coffee, has about 15mg of CBD and thats what they are famous for. Its get sold out by noon, so have to come early for that.

A unique place in the Heart of Oakland Port this coffee made my Sunday Awsome Dude .Nice place in the field of Coffee and Tea.I never drank in my life 2nd cup but here I blindly ordered the 2nd cup of Regular Coffee and they make everything in front of ur eyes. From brew to filter and then ur cup. Awsome. Just try it and I want my every morning with the fresh blend of this Bicycle Coffee Company. Thanks for reading.

I am happy with their handling of social distancing.I was visiting Oakland from out-of-state and was staying at Jack London Square; the pandemic regulations have been different from home so it took some getting used to, but these new rules definitely felt more effective.Also, since I wasn’t from the area, I asked the person working that day for some recommendations and she was amazing; very friendly and she gave me great recommendations which was so nice.

Review №24

Nice and simple, no-frills experience. I like how on Fridays they have free prepared coffee for people, and when I purchased my decaf Mexican coffee, they offered a free drink on the house. It’s a really nice touch, thank you! The barista also told me a little of the history of the company. That was a nice touch which made me feel like a welcomed visitor. Almost no need to mention but it’s also nice to see a bike rack right out front. Little area in the back where you can hang out and relax if you want to be out of the hot sun.

This place is so incredible and relaxing. Yesterday, I ordered their bestsellers, and I was so surprised when their staff served it quickly. I thanked their staff for being so friendly and speedy. You impressed me, so I decided to recommend your coffee shop to all of my family and friends! CHEERS, guys!

Super friendly staff!! No line on a Sunday afternoon, but inviting space with good music and chill vibes. Lots of sunny space and chairs/tables to enjoy a chill weekend day. Oh, and yummy coffee and CBD-infused options! Try the Cold Brew abs balance it with a CBD Sparkling Water ✌🏽

Such a good spot. Bicycle Coffee is that nice blend of local hipster and quality coffee. They have a fairly straightforward menu with all the coffee and espresso based items, and they’ve recently added some new CBD stuff. Their merch is top notch—the graphic t-shirt I got from here is my absolute favorite—and the space is nice and open. It’s a great space to work and play and worth checking out when around Jack London Square.

Industrial environment. Good coffee, but I realize that is relative. I like it strong with heavy cream so I bring my own cream since they change extra for it. I can handle sitting in, but some might find it uncomfortable with them going the roasting right there

Bicycle Coffee rocks! A small spot that roasts in house and loves their customers so much they give free drip coffee on Fridays to everyone!!! Their burritos are pretty decent for a quick grab and go. They really take coffee seriously. Enjoy!

This place is nice to come to because its cheaper than blue bottle which is a block over and its never crowded. Ive their drip coffee and their latte.Their latte is great and stronger than any latter Ive ever had. This is great cause its not like the rest of the places where you cant taste the espresso shot.Their drip coffee is drip coffee. Since their coffee is roasted and ground on site like a lot of local places the coffee is almost always on point.Parking is difficult on weekends so make your journey with a nice two block(minimum) walk in mind.

If, for some reason, you find yourself in Oakland near Jack London Square, be sure to drop by Bicycle Coffee. Its an actual commercial roasting establishment with a small cafe inside. If youre a coffee connoisseur, the smells alone are worth a visit and the pour-overs are heavenly. SUPERB coffee, interesting young owners and workers, and an artsy vibe.

Review №66

Their baristas really know to brew a good cup. Their place was ultra clean and cozy which is really perfect for a coffee time. Plus, they have the most considerate workers ever. They put the customers needs in top list priority. And now, I dare to say that this is my new go to coffee shop.

For their price range, their coffee is pretty good. I was having not such a good day when I came in but as it was Friday – they greeted me with a free cup of coffee which made my day all that better. I will surely come back again.

At any opportunity in Downtown Oakland area I make my way to Bicycle coffee. Every Sunday you will catch me in here too.The Chai with Oat milk is my GoTo and the drinks are consistent. I recommend this place to my family and friends who are coffee drinkers. They love it too! Ive converted a few people.

Worst Cappucino I have ever had. First, it was a Latte, though I ordered a Cappuccino. It tasted anemic, like hot milk with a hint of acid. It was dreadful. It made SBUX look good, which is truly sad. Never again.

My favorite coffee. Taste is sometimes inconsistent though. Depending on who makes it. Especially when you order ice mocha. Some pour it over ice and some add ice to it. Taste better to me when they add ice over coffee.

Review №82

Friendly service, super smooth coffee. They dont have flavored syrups (like peppermint or caramel), so I tried the only option on the menu - vanilla (latte). My drink wasnt overly sweet, but it hit the spot. It was delicious! Did I mention super smooth? They only offer one size, but again, it hit the spot. They also have a fairly large selection of House Kombucha. Try the lavender lemonade.The ambience - nothing but men on laptops. Concrete floors. Hipster vibe. Think Berkeleys Peets. I dig it:)

Awesome local roaster. Get a free cup when you buy beans. But best of all, free coffee Fridays!!! Thats right, no strings attached, free pour over coffee every Friday!!!

Bicycle Coffee is a hipster coffee joint with mostly young, hip and trendy people who live nearby. There are some tourists as well, as this location is close to Jack London Square. The service is good, the drinks are good, and the place is always crowded. Come if youre already in the area.

Their chai lattes can be good but the taste is inconsistent. One of the baristas was rude and greeted me by saying what do you want ... He just seems unpleasant. Also they serve other people first, even if they ordered after you (we ordered basically the same thing), not sure if theyre regulars or what the deal was. I was going to make this a regular place but definitely not returning.
