“ Omg, I was expecting corporate office park, and instead this is a really cute and delicious coffee shop! Friendly staff, more than Ive come to expect from most places. Tasty coffee, well dialed in espresso. The food was sourced from Boichik and Firebrand, and the sandwich we had was fantastically balanced. Then the atrium was filled with plants and stone benches, with a big fountain outside. Very big fans of this place. ”
“ Love this little cafe! They turn out some delicious flavors. I get the breakfast burrito and its fire every time. So many yummy options for lunch too! The order ahead option is great too. Overall really cool atmosphere too with small little nick nacks and sauces to purchase. ”
“ A little atrium sanctuary with great coffee. We stopped in before a work meeting, anticipating Ill get done black mediocre coffee. Instead I found they had ever kind of milk including a homemade hazelnut. They were out but I was able to snag my signature oat late. Milk we the eighty temperature and espresso wasnt bitter. My colleague for the avocado toast with truffle oil. If only they offered gluten free options. We tried to find out if the hash browns were flourless but the box was already tossed. ”
“ One of my favorite places! The seating area is serene and very green. The Vietnamese iced coffee with their seasonal cold cream is always perfect. The staff is also friendly. ”
“ This place is right across from Amtrak. We were looking for a muffin or something of that sort and a cup of coffee. A quick search in the Waze app landed us here. We were greeted with a very chipper and welcoming staff and a calming atmosphere. You can sit at the tables outside in a lobby type area. I gave the Leeche tea a try. They make and sweeten it over night. It was delicious. There is some type of fruit in the drink as well. Very refreshing fruity sweet tea. But onto the bacon breakfast burrito. Im not a breakfast person but this was hands down the BEST breakfast burritodish I have ever had. My husband said the same. Highly recommended!!!! ”
“ This is my FAVORITE cafe, any time I can make it over is a special treat. They have such uniquely crafted drinks, and such kind workers. They also have really cool art and teaesque things for sale instore!!!! Ive gotten yummy syrups from there. ”
“ polaris cafe is tucked away in the most unassuming place! I came here to pick up my order from Oakland Tea Co. Peggy, the owner, was amazing and so enthusiastic about her teas. I tried the Brown Rabbit drink, white rabbit cream with a shot of espresso, with brown sugar boba while my partner tried the Caramel Cold Brew with Vanilla Cream. Both were absolutely delicious! Whoever thought of the Brown Rabbit drink is genius as the shot of espresso balances out the sweetness of white rabbit cream amazingly. Caramel Cold Brew was amazing too, with a rich thick foam made from Strauss milk. Im a fan!! This spot deserves better lighting! But the indoor rainforest seating area makes up for it yall did great ”
“ One of the best breakfast burritos of my life. Lots of eggs and veggies and they didnt skimp on the sausage. 16 is pricey but so are most things in California. Come here if you get a chance you wont regret it. ”
