Botbar Coffee

Michelle Stevens a year ago

When I went here I was really excited to see the robot make my drink. The human attendant was very friendly and helpful, and I wish him all the best with the business. But essentially, the robot's purpose was to hold a cup in front of one of those machines that just makes you a sub-par latte. And when the robot put the cup down in the cup holder, the cup almost tipped over and spilled out. They did give me a cookie with the coffee, which was a nice bonus, but the cookie was nothing to rave about.

Cool to see a robot make your coffee but the taste was just okay. I got the foamy oatmilk latte which was a bit weak and not foamy at all

I’ve been knowing that Robot can make coffee and drinks but have never seen it in action. This robot bar just has that. A robot making coffee for me. The drink is pretty good and I think it would catch a lot of young people.

Based solely on the experience of purchasing an espresso, the service went well as intended with any type of service from a traditional cafe. While the espresso itself is up to the standard where it doesn’t shine by itself (judging only on my own intuition as someone who casually consumes coffee), the gimmick more than makes up for it in a time where such thing is yet to be the norm or at least be less uncommon. As for the atmosphere, the future spaceship theme is apparent but can give off feelings of uncanniness and may be misinterpreted as dystopian; from there, incorporating some elements that goes easy on the mind. As a bonus, the store manager himself was polite and easygoing with how the cafe came to be.

Very unique coffee place in Oakland area! Coffee is great and the store manager Cong is super friendly and explains everything you need to know from order to pick up. Strongly recommended this place !!
