The building is awesome and it's a great place to rest. The food and pastries are all amazing, but the coffee is all the typical third-wave light and sour variety.

Great macchiatos . I appreciate the little pallet cleansing glass of sparkling water offered with espressos and macchiatos , a refreshing reference to Italian coffee bars . Great place to buy beans too.

The old WC Morse building is a lovely space. I love the old school tiles and unique chandelier . Bonus: their espresso machine repair workbenches are out in the open. Get the New Orleans Ice Coffee !

Adrian Phillips

Come here for the coffee , stay for the amazing space. The WC Morse building is beautifully restored and a great place to enjoy a coffee . It's an inspiring place to work , especially when it's quiet .

Carter Moore

Blue Bottle can be a bit expensive , but if you want a nice drink and a great atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend coming to this location early in the morning for an almond milk cappuccino .

Kevin Pratt

Mexican Oaxaca Oliva Gutierrez prepared as a Chemex pour has a delightful aroma and bright mouth of cherry and peanut . The body is captivating as it subtly sets in with roasted candied nut tone.

Brian Strauss

Love the building as much as the coffee . Get a made-to-order Belgian "gauf" and the step over to the espresso machine repair shop to geek out on the tinkering action.

Jonno Schmidt

Phenomenal coffee shot. Everyone working there is so knowledgeable about their coffee . They even have free barista classes !

Kevin Pratt

The single origin beans from Guatemala, Antigua Bella Vista, are for fans of big, bold coffees . Sweet corn aroma to a mouth-forward, clean toffee flavor and a small body oddly acidic without citrus .

Noelle McReynolds

This is my favorite place for mochas . Not too sweet. No whip. Just dark chocolate , espresso and the right amount of milk

Frank Kim

The the single origin iced coffee here is pretty damn good, and they have an "oji style" iced coffee want to try next time, but the waffle they serve here is awesome yummy.

Jay L.

Definitely the New Orleans iced and drip coffees with cream are worth stopping by. Not too much of a fan of cafes without WiFi

Ashley Mowrey

Huge space and the same lively service and consistently impeccable quality. This location has espresso machines for sale and a repair shop attached.

Kevin Pratt

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gelena Abaya Washed is a subtle African coffee with fruity aromatic quality. Light to mid roasting creates a flow bxn mouth and longer body. Deep, yet acidic- maple pomegranate .

Kevin Pratt

Single origin drip coffee with the Rwanda Kirezi beans is bright and fruity of mouth with strong orange and lemon tones. The wet processing method gives the cup a clean taste and a low or mild body.

Kevin Pratt

Brazil FAF Santa Clara Icatu Natural is a single origin that has a full body. Body fullness is due to the natural processing of the beans. Lemon sharp tones make rockyroad with cactus soil backdrop.

Hey what’s the next update I wanna grab a coffee and then I’ll hit ya up! All my friends were good here! Oat capp blessings thanks!

Jason C.

Hooray for no WiFi otherwise despite the spectacular coffee in both choice and quality of bean and execution this absolutely beautiful space would be completely intolerable at peak hours.

Andrew Choi

Love the decor of this one! Beautifully designed.

Paul Mederos

Great open space , perfect for a lazy weekend morning hangout with fam and friends.

Jeremy

Airy and friendly . By far the best Blue Bottle location. Not a lot of seats though.

Gabriel M.

Our breakfast spot during our trip to Oakland! The pour over with oak milk and the overnight oats were my favorites.

George Dy

Great spot, fast service . Food menu also still available during COVID. Outdoor seating removed and parking is sparse.

Kyle Youngblom

Cappuccino and a waffle for here, please. Seems like it might be stuffy at first, but generally a really friendly neighborhood vibe . Not a place to hang out, but a special treat.

Martha Hill

The chocolate pudding is a heavenly pillow of mouthfeel, with a deep, unfettered chocolate flavor . And you can keep the cute little mason jar !

ultraviolet schneider-dwyer

very rich and high quality coffee and very aesthetically pleasing/calming atmosphere!

JT

Great ambience! High ceiling and communal tables . Barista super friendly

Jason Ferrier

The lease was just signed, but the very early ETA is later this year. <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2013/04/16/blue-bottle-coffee-inks-a-new-oakland-location-in-the-historic-w-c-morse-building/"target="_blank" data-sig="oUnQ6bjtBWH/UeROQokH9ySIJ58=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2013/04/16/blue-bottle-coffee-inks-a-new-oakland-location-in-the-historic-w-c-morse-building/</a>

Matt Opsahl

Wonderful old tiny building with white floor tiles and high ceilings . Delicious coffee and Belgian waffle . Minimal seats.

Annalynn

Three Africans (hot/cold). NoLa iced coffee , cold brew , and mochas are delicious!

Indy Sen

They'll play old school hip hop on Fridays. Add the caffeine, and you may find yourself doing a spontaneous running man

Duc Le

Don't forget to try the chocolate cookie . It's sweet with a touch of sea salt for some yin-yangin' taste sensation.

Agatha Yu

Get the wafflgato (off-menu item) and make everyone else jealous 😏

Steve-o

Beautiful industrial space, adequate seating, friendly service , predictably high prices... Why don't I like this place more?

Martha Hill

Open & airy, with a touch of Auto Row vintage. And - oh yes - fine coffee and pastries !

Mark Urich

The Ethiopian single origin iced coffee they have right now is amazing.

Marlon Molinare

Beautiful space with great light

John Kiechel

It's nice (their interior) but crowded with not a lot of seating. The product is as expected. The rosemary shortbread would be my reason to return. Parking is scarce.

Gnat Brain

House made granola is fantastic

Craig Villamor

Beautiful location. They do espresso machine repair here as well .

Nick Doty

Granola with milk (they ran out of waffles ), surprisingly satisfying and breakfasty.

Jeff Wittich

Best coffee in Oakland but can be a long line

Ninon ™

the yogurt parfait is p bomb but honestly ur paying for the beautiful atmosphere

Mike McLaughlin

Get the nut , berry , oat seed bar and a mango nectar juice for a healthy boost

Duc Le

Try the New Orleans Iced Coffee . The waffle is good as well .

Avan Allen

very simple and delicious.

Andrew Ander

Oji cold press is a delicious strong coffee . Get it.

Vincent Tang

The waffle is bomb and the flight is a must.

Steven Wirt

A beautifully sun - drenched space and great ginger molasses cookies .

Jessica

Only the second time I've seen a coffee flight offered at a cafe . No wi-fi but baristas are nice!
