About the Oakland Coffee Scene
Oakland is where some of the Bay Area's most exciting specialty coffee work is happening — a city whose creative energy, diversity, and authentic character have produced roasters who are pushing boundaries without the self-consciousness of the San Francisco scene.
Temescal, Fruitvale, and Grand Lake are the main specialty areas. Oakland roasters tend to be bolder and more experimental than their SF counterparts — in the best possible way — and often more deeply embedded in their communities.
