Even though the Black Diamond Café is close to the Emeryville Public Market, it’s an easy place to overlook. However, once you discover it you’ll probably go back. The set-up is nice – a central area near the counter with a variety of tables and lots of light, and then a longer section with small tables set into alcoves (perfect for working) and a great water feature with plants. You should have no trouble finding a seat and the WiFi is free (and fast enough). Service (from Joanne and others) is always friendly and they have a rewards scheme where you get $5 credit after you clock up $50 (better than Sbux rewards!). I’ve been there several times for a latte ($4) or cappuccino ($3.50) and various bites (homemade pastries, bagel with cream cheese, tomato and pesto) and always find it good. They use Ritual coffee beans combined with Clover organic milk to make exceptionally good drinks - I’d put them in the top 5 in the East Bay (along with the likes of Blue Bottle) for their coffee drinks. They have a decent selection of about 6 local beers on tap (with happy hour from 3–6 PM and free bagel chips with your drink!) and some really good bottles (Belgians, Ommegang, etc.) and a selection of wine. For social and environmental responsibility, I’m giving them 4/5 green stars for their Ritual coffee and organic milk, homemade pastries and bagels. I asked if they use free-range eggs but the server wasn’t sure. More info on ingredients would be helpful.

Small cafe with free Wi-Fi. They give you the wifi code on the recipient so if you are planning to hang out for some time then use the code to access the wifi. It is not crowded and staff is really helpful. Bus stops are also super close so in case you are waiting for your bus you can hang out here.

Wow! What a great cafe! I had their chicken panini sandwich and it was so good. I believe it was around $7 and the customer service was very friendly. They also have small Thai specials on the side if youre crazy for some zest and spice in your life! =)

I usually eat once a day at the Black Diamond Cafe. The food is fresh, good, and very spicy. I have taken 2 guests here who found the food very good. Not everyone likes very spicy food so if in doubt, ask.

Cool spot on the corner. Friendly staff, nice vibe. I only gave 4 stars cause I felt that the bagel was a little over priced, but what are you going to do when youre hungry...

Absolutely fantastic staff and lattes. The pastries are great in the morning, and in the evening they have a great draft beer selection. Highly recommended.

Good place to get lunch as they have a mediocre sandwich and panini selection, theres adequate seating to eat. And theres free WiFi.

Always great service and reasonable prices. Opens early and stays open later than most coffee shoppe shop-esque businesses.

I could live on just their bagel sandwiches. Their homemade bagels make them amazing sandwiches. Best bagels around.

One of the best cafe in Emryville, not just a regular community cafe.
