Reviews for Nomad Cafe in Oakland, CA
Just updating this to note that Nomad is still great, and are now opening earlier (6:30 am). Great for grabbing a quick coffee... and breakfast on your way to work. Read more
Chill neighborhood cafe with outdoor seating & people watching. A variety of non- diary milk. No gluten free options.
Great spot for a quick breakfast, the lox sandwich was packed with veggies and the sausage breakfast sandwich was pretty... tasty. The bakery items in the morning seemed like they were from yesterday but we're still good. Quick simple breakfast for onthe go. Nothing too flashy here. Read more
Reliable spot for coffee and sandwiches. Minus one star for overcharging for alt milks (+$1 for a splash of oat milk in a... coffee? Come on). The croissant sandwich I ordered was huge and I barely finished it. The croissant didn't seem very fresh, butoverall it was a fine sandwich. Read more
Nomad Cafe is a neighborhood staple. The owners and staff are always friendly and they learn your name quickly if you visit... regularly. We've been patrons of nomad for ~5 years and we eat their banh mi sandwiches at least once a week. Thus, they've alsomemorized our order. As a 9-year vegetarian, their tofu banh mi is one of the best I've ever had. The veggies are fresh and letme tell you -- they do NOT skimp on bread quality. Have you ever had Semifreddi's bread? (Think: fresh baked bread shelves atBerkeley bowl) Well, that is the bread you'll get with the banh mi and it is perfection (not like the styrofoam vehicles forveggies that you might get from other spots). At any rate, I buy a banh mi every time I go for a day hike, and it's becausethey are quality, well-wrapped, well-presented sandwiches. If you look at my photos, I took them AFTER hiking 5 miles uphill andthrowing my backpack around a few times. You'll notice: the banh mi looks perfectly ready to be eaten - next to a stream in theredwoods. Many thanks to Nomad for powering me through hikes, bike rides, and at least one super long trail run :) Read more
