What Fé Ponce likes about Cafe 817:
I’ve been coming to this café for breakfast in Old Oakland for over a year now and it never disappoints. After buying fresh produce on Fridays from the Old Oakland farmers market, it’s become my ritual to stop here and have a light breakfast. Food is of quality ingredients and service is warm and efficient without being pretentious. There’s free Wi-Fi and outdoor seating available. I highly recommend this place. View all feedback. What Iker Lucio doesn't like about Cafe 817:
The place has escaped a bit from its Italian roots. There are still Polnta, but it is no longer served with filled Fontina, policing eggs and the beautiful parsley garnish. The Avocado Toast is satisfied and the presentation is excellent. The staff is friendly and efficient. View all feedback.

The ambiance is cozy with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to hang out, work, or catch up with friends.

I have been going to this place since it originally opened, and never had anything but good things to say, even through several owner changes.

Having rotating art shows sets this coffee house apart from other coffee houses. The coffee and pastries are good as well!
