Loved Akat Cafe and their delicious specialty roast coffee from Chiapas was one of my favorites in town. Has recently changed hands... now called OakCali, it remains a lovely, kind, local coffee spot with more food and drink options and same pleasant outdoor seating.

Very good coffee and salmon cream cheese avocado bagel! Chilaquiles with eggs and coffee is a great deal too the combo is just $10.

Delicious food. Friendly and kind welcome to all. I like the Califas bagel. Pic attached!

This is a popular place, this is like a bar for Local Authority.

Nice, funky/cozy little place. Great vibe. The staff is friendly, as are other customers. The coffee is decent, as are the pastries, and its a local business. Oakland needs more places like this (theyre disappearing in case you havent noticed). Give them a try, and decide for yourself.

Came here because the breakfast wait at Portal was to much and I was hungry. I love the people and the feel of the place. Unpretentious. Could use some window shades and/or better air circulation, pretty hot inside on a sunny say.

So friendly, amazing coffee! They went out and got ice when I asked for an iced coffee 🥰 Will come back ASAP!

So lucky to have this friendly, on-point spot in my neighborhood. And the coffee is amazing! Try the Mexican Latte to stay, grab a bag of beans to go.

Friendly staff. Great food. Within walking distance from Lake Merritt if you wanna enjoy a nice walk in the morning. Coming here has been my Saturday ritual for a while.

Come here often. Really like the bagel sandwiches, especially the chorizo! They have a good message and help the community in many ways.

I just got back from Akat Cafe Kalli with the best Americano Ive ever had. Jose was very helpful and heard me out on what kind of roasts I like and he pegged me correctly with this drink. The place has a very welcoming, cozy and clean ambiance. Your coffee is ready promptly and by the time its in your hands you are not sure youre ready to leave the place; its quite nice.

Discovered this place while in town with my family for a wedding. At least one of us would come by every morning of our trip. Loved the cozy feeling, coffee and the staff. Will definitely pop back in when in town.

Great place, coffee was great and coffee cake was amazing! Coffee and cake for $6

Best cafe in the area. Great local spot. Mello atmosphere, clean, great coffee and food.

Great coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches! The guy working there seemed to be the only one and was a little stressed but he worked quickly and efficiently. Definitely going back!

This is one of the best coffee shops in Oakland. If you like working from coffee shops this is your place too. The music and ambience is very original.The owner imports the coffee from Chiapas and toast it themselves.

Great coffee, owner is involved and nice atmosphere. So good, even my cat wanted to visit!

Great specially lattes. Great neighborhood coffee shop vibe. Plenty of seating including outdoor seating.

Just discovered this little gem in my new neighborhood. So far, I have only tried a latte, but it was lovely. Time to go back I guess!

Great Mexican lattes, chorizo and soy bagel sandwiches

Great neighborhood coffee spot.

Im not an everyday coffee drinker, but I absolutely LOVE this spot!! Jose & his family fit perfectly here in our Hood!! If youre lookin for an awesome cup of Joe around Lake Merritt...head to Akat!!

Excellent hospitality and a calm atmosphere, and for your taste buds some good coffees and bagels as well

I cant bring myself to give this place a good review. Ive tried this place a few times and each time they screwed up my order.

Great coffee and food. Service is great, but its only one person so if you are in a rush Id stick with coffee.

Best chaï latte I ever had!!! The food was super good. Great place, where you feel welcome!

Best coffee and hot chocolateFriendly staff and yummy pastries,etc.

Super friendly guys that run the place. Great way to start my morning.

Great little family-run cafe with ultra-friendly staff, cozy interior, modestly priced single origin pour-overs and a choice music selection. Dont go anywhere else around Lake Merritt for coffee.

Soy chorizo and egg breakfast sandwich!! Literally the BEST breakfast sandwich Ive ever bought. Great atmosphere. Small. But I hung out there all day, journaled, listened to music and worked on my computer. Dope spot. Also POC run so come out and support.

Happy to say, this place is amazing. Great coffee, lovely energy, friendly staff, and uh... seriousllyyyyyy great coffee, wow! Thanks!!!

Good coffee for a GREAT cause from good people

Great coffee and I really enjoyed the Mexican latte, just one block off of Lake Merritt.

Great unique coffee. Best coffee place in the area. Get a breakfast sandwich.

Great spot to have a cup of coffee

Friendly good coffee like home

One of the best coffee Ive ever had, amazing breakfast and all place is beutiful... ✌️😉

Great coffee, great atmosphere but really busy

Cute little shop. Chai tea is unbelievable good!

Finally, a refreshing community-based cafe that diverts from the typical hipster coffee spots. Not only do they have the best drip coffee in the Bay (which is from their partner Sin Fronteras Coffee, a non-profit organization that works directly with indigenous coffee bean growers throughout Latin America), but they also have a variety of drinks with an Latinx twist (e.g. Mexican mocha, Mate Latte). They serve amazing, authentic Latin-inspired grub like chilaquiles, tamales, etc. (their chorizo breakfast bagel sandwich was 10/10). And they display/sell great art pieces from local artists!There isnt a lot of space to work inside their hole-in-the wall spot, but they always have cute little tables outside to people watch or to listen to the occasional musicians that make their way through.Lastly, the staff there is phenomenal and truly makes you feel welcome. Akat Cafe Kalli is trying to foster a great community of support and inclusivity, so yall should definitely make your way through!

Americano and pourover both very good, my go to local coffee shop.

Great fresh coffee.

I love being here.

Good coffee and a Zapatistas theme

Great coffee,service and price!

Ive stopped by Akat Cafe a few times, its great. The coffee is solid, and the staff is friendly.

Great café and amazing service.

A legit neighborhood cafe w outdoor tables!

Best chilaquiles in town!

Family run, great espresso.

Try the Mexican latte and breakfast bagel sandwich!

Important company where the arts meet, such as poetry, song and music, accompanied by good coffee from Chiapas

The atmosphere and the coffee are great. The net feels like home. The geerxs go but there are always more than us. I recommend you stop by for a coffee.

I love the service and support for cultural diversity.Thank you!!
