Coworking room in the back for longer sessions; the small front room is 'WiFi-friendly but not laptop farm territory' (Filter Notes, last edited Sep 2026, quoting Corner). BrewAtlas (Oct 2026) names it 'Speciality Coffee & Co-Working'. Prices or booking for the back room not found.

The notes

What the sources say (research)

  • Coffee roasted on site; espresso, filter, cold brew, nitro; breakfast and brunch. “This is a Wi-Fi-friendly room, but not one that turns into a laptop farm … there is a separate coworking room in back if you need to settle in.” Better for a short session in the front room. [filternotes.com, read 10 Oct 2026]
  • BrewAtlas lists it as “How About Coffee | Speciality Coffee & Co-Working” on its October 2026 work list. [brewatlas.co]
  • Near the Alameda metro (our reading of the map; green and red lines).
