I have visited and enjoyed many Caffe Bars all over the world. I like finding the one of a kind Caffe Bars that are unique individual places. I'm a fair reviewer who looks at the whole picture of the business.
The Caffe by Mr. Espresso is an hidden gem located in Oakland California. The unique design inside and out gives you a great warm feeling of comfort of a European/Italian Caffe Bar. The "Bar" concept is out of the ordinary for a Coffee house in the United States but very unique and fun. It is a place that you shouldn't be in a rush to get your beverages and pastries. The coffee they serve is very good and robust flavors.
I also ordered two pastries, which were very good and tasty but the cinnamon roll was hard and seemed like it should have been previously warmed up before serving.. The texture was extremely hard and the cinnamon taste was missing. Good with the caffe but not great.
I will definitely return to try another pastry and Coffee. This is a priceless place for everyone to enjoy. Please have patients when you try this Caffe Bar.
