1888 Coffee Station

A nice stop after/before a walk in the park and the breakfast sandwich was unexpectedly delicious with flavor. The Americano I got was quite bold, I'll probably ask for a medium roast next time.

I love this little coffee shop breakfast sandwich is great too

A perfectly serviceable on-the-go coffee shop that also has good pastries. There is limited outdoor seating, but if you're circling the lake on a nice walk this is the perfect place to refuel. It may not be ideal for a sit-down coffee / work session, but any place I can get good cold brew and a croissant around the lake will get repreat business from me. Just keep in mind there is no indoor seating available.

Ideal for a quick "grab and go." There's no seating but they do cater to furry friends by always having treats out!

Got some of their "award winning" drip coffee to go. Slightly burnt.

This is the best place to grab a coffee and a pastry on your way to Lake Merritt! Friendly staff and great food offerings. I love that they typically have treats out for your dogs.

The spinach egg quesadilla was good, but not as good as the photos I saw on Google Maps from a year ago. The one I got today was very spinach forward and light on the eggs. (See photos) It also lacked structural integrity since there wasn't a cheese layer holding everything together like in a normal quesadilla. As a result, it kind of falls apart while you're eating it. Would be nice if it were grilled too.

I've always had a great experience at 1888 Coffee Station! They are one of the few places who use A2/A2 milk, which my husband and I really appreciate because a) it's better quality and 2) easier to digest. The cashier/barista are always so friendly and whenever I'm going to walk the lake with a friend, they are my go-to spot!
