La Perla Tapatia Cafe

For coffee, matcha and fresh bites in Oakland's Allendale neighborhood, La Perla Tapatia Cafe is here to help you start your day right. We opened on High Street to bring authentic flavors and traditional café de olla and coffee to our community at prices neighbors can afford.

Our menu features freshly made favorites like the La Torta Tapatia, smoked salmon bagels, chipotle chicken sandwiches and fresh conchas, alongside seasonal matcha drinks with real fruit and generous cold foam. Everything we make is prepared fresh and full of flavor, and we take pride in generous portions and a salad dressing that our guests keep coming back for.

We run a relaxed, welcoming space with warm, attentive service, and we're always working on expanding our dining area and adding touches that make it feel like home. Many of our regulars are families and dog walkers from across Allendale and the rest of Oakland, and we love being a low-key cafecito spot for early mornings and everyday treats.

Stop by to try something new, or come back for your usual, and we'll make sure you feel welcome.
