Cafe Lakeview

Our favorite Oakland cafe!! Sara is wonderful and the smoothies are the best! ♥️

Ethiopian breakfast was yummy & flavorful.

The proprietress runs a quality operation all by herself. The vegetarian sandwich which we've had several times is excellent. The service is top notch. And the location is right by Lake Merritt with a great View. I highly recommend this place.

Such a pleasant place. I ordered the Ethiopian breakfast assuming it came with the injera. When she served it up she could tell I was expecting something else and offered to make me an Ethiopian breakfast with injera!! Very genuine service and flavorful food. The inside is very nice and cozy too, lots of tables and chairs and couches. Easy …

And we normally play cards and just spend a couple of hours there. My favorite part is the Chicken Pesto sandwich with ethiopian spice, it's not spicy not.. it's very flavorful. And best …

Passed this place a million times, but I won’t pass it anymore! Great coffee! Did t get food this time but they have a nice menu that I would like to try in the future. Went back again today and had a veggie omelette and coffee. Great coffee and a fantastic omelette. This is a no frills place of peace …

Delicious coffee! We were lucky to try the Jubari coffee tonight, and it is fantastic! We will definitely be back to try more soon
