Cafe 4

The coffee is from Verve, which in my experience is as much about surfing and Santa Cruz as it is also quietly about Jesus and more vocally about good coffee. There are a handful of quietly faithful based roasters like Verve, Temple, Land and Water, and Devout. All them follow in the evangelical tradition of taking counter cultural trends and converting them into deeply religiously tied expressions of that thing while simultaneously becoming done of the best versions of that thing; think hippie congregations in the 60's and 70's, hard-core bands in the 2000's, and coffee houses in the twenty-aughts. The coffee is great, and the people are kind. There's a beautiful view. The only caveat I would add is that your purchases are likely feeding into a mega church that may have differing values or beliefs from yours. At this point in late stage capitalism, you are likely better giving a group of religious folks your dollar that you don't agree with than a large corporate chain who supposedly support the same humanist values you do because ultimately these films give back to their local communities, and the corporations only give to their shareholders. The only true downside is the atmosphere: it is akin to a lunch hall cafe on a large college campus. There is plenty of room, lots of tables, but if you are not part of the campus or community, it can feel alien and isolating. Really cool view though.

My main memory was it was pretty warm but I also burn like a volcano so you ladies might love it here plus 18 sweaters haha. Grabbed a tuna Sand that had a nice hint of sweetness to it. Wifi at the nook I sat at was pretty spotty I believe I ended up on a hotspot from my cellphone They recently extended their hours and I think I left at 4pm this day

New coffee shop in Castro Valley with big space and nice staff and service. It was previously Cafe 4. Lots of space to study and natural lights. They use Cat & Cloud Coffee from Santa Cruz which is great coffee They have some pastries options as well. Let’s support them!

This place doesn’t disappoint!!! The working crews were all kind and friendly. Very comfortable outdoor and indoor seating. Wide selection of drinks and treats. My cappuccino here is perfect every time. I would highly recommend Cafe 4 Coffee! Also, check out their books section :)

I love this place! The coffee tastes great! I got a latte. The atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly. There is PLENTY of space! They have a lot of outlets if you need to work for a while. It seems like a great place to bring friends, read, or get work done. The baristas were so friendly! It has a very nice look and calm music.

Good for a morning coffee and a sit. With baked goods. Easy parking, lots of space inside, and some patio seating outside. And being right next to the freeway makes getting on the road again convenient. The Baristas are nice, it's a good place to start your day out with a happy face. I'd highly suggest the place.

What a great church with a safe cafe to work in if you want a warm drink or snack. They have ice skating during the winter holidays with plenty of fun things to do there's a free Choo Choo train Christmas lights vendors and food. I'm sure they have many other special events. I want to make it to the services, but they are at 9 and 11 am on Sunday, and I am working at that time.

I love the place. My husband introduced me to this place when he was reviewing. It's very spacious, cozy and perfect for studies. Like everyone do their stuffs respectfully. See photos for references. I love their matcha latte if your into hot drink and chocolate for iced (kid-friendly). Can't say anything bad. I really like it. They also have wifi for public.
