Proyecto Diaz Coffee

One of the best coffee shops in the Bay. Great espresso drinks, top quality drip coffee, and love the assortment of Mexican and/or locally inspired food and products. The cafe de olla (ask for light sweet) is my favorite espresso drink in Oakland. Lines can get long at times and stuff does tend to run out for the kids but outside of that place is my spot.

I ordered the dirty chai latte with oat milk paired with a raspberry jam-filled treat, and the combination was incredible.The espresso in the dirty chai added a great bold kick that balanced out the warming chai spices. Choosing oat milk was definitely the right call—it made the drink super creamy and gave it a smooth, velvety texture without being overly heavy.The real magic happened when pairing it with the pastry. The bright, tart sweetness of the raspberry jam cut right through the rich, spicy notes of the latte. It kept the whole experience from feeling too sugary or overwhelming.Highly recommend this exact combo if you want something comforting with a great balance of sweet, tart, and spicy flavors. Will absolutely be back for this exact order!

Absolutely love the atmosphere of this cafe! Decent indoor seating + ample outdoor seating, if the weather is nice. Lots of people here doing work. Also just next door to Pacific Pipe climbing gym, which is a plus! I tried the horchata latte — wasn’t a huge fan, but it wasn’t bad. A bit more watery than I would have liked. Service is great! Workers are all very friendly and helpful.

This is one of West Oakland’s favorites, and to be fair, is quite hidden from the naked eye — unless you decide to explore the area in more detail. This coffee shop is honestly unique in its own way — the Western kick of coffee meets the Mexican style of pan, tamales, and more. Upon going there many times, i find that they have a wide variety of things that none other coffee shop can do better: horchata lattes. To my surprise they’re honestly one of the best in the area. They source their coffee beans locally from Oakland and Hayward, and their syrups are made from scratch. In addition, they get their tamales from a local tamal factory in Hayward — which tastes authentic and of region. They also give really good hospitality, and the design of the coffee shop is very modern and chique. I will say the down side of this coffee shop is that they have limited seating inside, and the outside seating is usually pretty cold, so some people just take their food & drinks to go. Otherwise, I’d recommend this place forsure!

Cafe is right next to Pac Pipe. Perfect place to get that caffeine fix before climbing. Cute interior with seating inside and outside. Free parking available in front but can get busy later in the day. Staff is super friendly. Restrooms with code on the side. I had the cappuccino which was the perfect balance of milk and espresso.
