Grab A Drink At This Communal Coffee Shop In Oakland<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for Coffee\/Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The concept for this 1,200-square-foot Oakland coffee shop, The Caff\u00e8 by Mr. Espresso designed by Jones Haydu<\/a>, is informed by the Italian ritual of drinking an espresso at a communal bar. At the center is an island where all activity happens. On two sides, its standing-height construction is made of white oak slabs from a single tree that fell in nearby Sonoma County in 2008. One hosts a low-slung pastry display, the other, stools to enjoy meeting with a friend. Behind, baristas work at countertops topped in hand-polished copper. To further emphasize this hub, a crown of concave timber slats floats overhead alongside linear pendant fixtures by Dals Lighting. A second curved wood series lines the walls to meet it at this clerestory level, creating a domelike visual pattern that appears either open or closed when viewed from various angles on the ground. Along the perimeter, a Calacatta marble ledge offers another luxurious option to pause with a caffeinated beverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
