Great prices and very fast service. Good coffee too! Due to the pandemic this is literally a hole in the wall now, but they have two little benches outside so you could enjoy your coffee while seated as well. Very happy to have the Good News Cafe in the neighborhood.

Back when I used to go to Laney i would always go here to grab my usual iced coffee’s and a good old classic bacon egg and cheese, they know what they are doing making the best coffee and breakfast sandwiches, thank you for always taking care of me and always making my mornings better, definitely recommend their iced latte’s and my go to bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. Very reasonable prices and overall just amazing people❤️

Such a hidden gem in Oakland! When I saw the low prices for food I expected that would reflect in the quality as well, but instead all the food is super fresh, hearty, and delicious! Their sausage egg and cheese bagels are the perfect start to a cozy day. I’ve been going frequently since I discovered it and it doesn’t hurt that the staff are so incredibly friendly and kind!

Lovely little coffee shop near the lake. Bagel sandwich was great, latte was great and Fair Trade, and the little outdoor seating section has a good view of the lake while you eat said bagel sandwich

We found this place by chance and decided to stop for breakfast. The food was delicious, and there was a great variety to choose from. If we pass by again, we will definitely stop by!
