What to know

Proyecto Diaz Coffee opened as a labor of love from local coffee enthusiasts determined to create a consistent, welcoming coffee house in Downtown Oakland. The concept centers on sourcing quality beans, dialing in reliable espresso, and offering a steady rotation of pastries that pair perfectly with morning and midday drinks. More than a grab-and-go spot, it aims to be a community hub — a place where neighbors meet, freelancers settle in, and the city’s day gets a steady, careful start.
