Reliable We are a women-owned coffee roaster and beverage company in downtown Oakland, CA, established in 2009. Our company prides itself on serving you the perfect delicious espresso coffee at reasonable prices. We believe that the best coffee shops should have a cheery and inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and tasty products. Our employees are dedicated to making you happy by serving you the best coffee, tea, latte, or Chai you've ever had. We do not attempt to change the world, but instead just want to give you a better drink and brighten your day. While we have many fantastic roasters on the West Coast, if we see something special from out-of-town, we may buy some to show off. Our regular roasters include, but are not limited to: Chromatic Coffee Co., Counter Culture Coffee, Linea Caffe, Stumptown Coffee, Verve Coffee, and currently, Coava Coffee. We sometimes feature guest roasters; some of our past features include Noble Coffee from Ashland OR, 49th Parallel Coffee, Vancouver B.C., and Maquina Coffee, West Chester PA.
Reviews encompass the following: The coffee shop offers friendly staff, commendable service, and a wide range of savory drinks. Thus, clients commend the unique options such as Lavendar Latte, Burnt Cinnamon Latte, and Blackstrap Iced Coffee, made with homemade syrups. Additionally, the ambiance is calming, and the numerous seating options provide a conducive working environment. Patrons describe the coffee as affordable and delicious, with the chai being a stand-out drink. Regular visitors also love the alternating seasonal lattes and hail the lavender latte as a must-try. While pastries come in for criticism, they are often rescued in some instances. However, croissants can be a hit, and the ongoing delight regarding the banana bread cannot be ignored. The general concert is that Modern Coffee is one of the best in Oakland, offering sumptuous lattes and "phenomenal" coffee.
