Solid little spot keeping the vibes good. Places like this are important because they are transparent about what you support when you patronize the business. It makes it easy to identify a safe space and be comfortable spending your money in a way that helps the local community.

Lovvveee this coffee shop. I feel super safe & welcomed here. Coffee is delicious and so is the food. Suggest the matcha or marzapán latte! Chill atmosphere that doesn't feel overwhelming & feels like a breath of fresh air amongst the chaos of the world. Great educational reading materials & clothing / handmade goods by local artists / creators. Staff are authentic and genuine. I'm grateful I don't get blasted with fake smiles & obnoxious scripted greetings when I go in. If it's not your cup of coffee, go get your cup of coffee at any other bootlicker cafe

This is by far one of the 2 best coffee shops in the Bay. Not just Oakland. The staff are always kind and friendly as hell, the food is always served piping hot and tastes hella fresh (the empanadas are delectably delicious if you're a first time customer looking for a recommendation), and the atmosphere is amazing. You can tell that a lot of love goes into everything they do here. The decor is dope and reminds me of the kind of place that the likes of MLK, Dolores Huerta and Bobby Seale would all be comfortable in. As far as I know, it's worker owned/operated and HM is as much of a staple of the community as the street it sits on (Fruitvale Ave) itself. You can tell from the mural on the side of the building that they aren't just a part of the community. They embody everything the neighborhood and the people born and raised here stand for and always will. What gets misconstrued as hate is just a deep empathy and love for the most marginalized members of our community and that's what I love most about this place. It gets 10000000/10

Wonderful coffee place! The menu has lots of really yummy options, the staff is kind and polite and service is fast. The atmosphere is cozy and they have lots of work from local artists around. I really liked the avocado toast, it had a sauce that was good.

This is the place to Lime in. Open air feeling, old school vibes and a part of the vibrant community that Fruitvale represents. I first tried a Mazapan latte in Newman, CA last September. This is yummy too and the guava coyota to go with. Plus great conversations with locals.

Have always felt safe and welcome here. Was lucky to be a part of their soft launch and became a regular here with my small children and baby. Love their coffee and the atmosphere!

Love coming here! The drinks are always so well made and delicious. Staff are kind and were able to let me know things I could have based on my allergies. I also love visiting the little shop of locally made goods from clothes, herbal medicines, and more! 10/10 would recommend
