Delah Coffee — Restaurant in Oakland

I liked the decor of the cafe, definitely feels different from other coffee shops. I had a Rose Latte and Rose Milk cake. The cake was actually delicious, wanted to try the saffron too but it was sold out when I ordered, then they brought out a new pan so maybe one of their more popular slices. Rose Latte not a fan of. It's bigger compared to other cafes which caught me by surprise, but the coloring isn't rose; it's beet juice, making the latte grainier than expected.

Was not a fan of the baristas, they seemed like they didn't want to be there. The trash area was stacked crazy and just not maintained at all. The focaccia looked great but not labeled so I didn't know how they differed.

Their bathroom? Disgusting. Trash all over the floor and there was no seat covers. Which is fine I guess except there was so much pee on the seat. Which is crazy because I went in after an employee. She didn't seem to care about cleaning it up at all. When she was back from her bathroom break, the other barista behind the bar had to motion her for help. Maybe she was on a lunch break?

Overall, the table I sat at wobbled. I was excited for a bit more. Definitely interesting coffee but I wouldn't come back for another drink. Maybe to try other cakes and food but service? Terrible. Atmosphere was more like a 3/10 and people seemed to like working here, maybe I just got the last...

I definitely recommend the baklava $6.95/2 pieces. The beautiful interior is a calm, quiet place to study. Wifi was slow so I wouldn't work on a laptop here. I also did not appreciate the service. I ordered a piece of cake. While ordering I said I don't like desserts with a strong rose water flavor and asked for a recommendation. I wish she would have told me the pistachio milk cake was soaked in rose water. Ultimately my fault for not being familiar, but it would have been nice to say. I couldn't eat the bottom portion. After ordering they never gave me the cake or baklava. I had to go back and ask and wait again. The server placed my baklava pieces in the liquid from the cake. She nearly served the cake in a plastic box, but I insisted "for here please" and asked for a plate. Everything else came in disposable, one-time-use plastic when they have plates right there. It's wasteful. Finally, hard dry mint bits in the refresher drink gave it an unpleasant texture. Why not use fresh mint? If I came back, I would try the coffee and get baklava...
