Will travel for coffee? The scene in Oakland, California, is thriving, and the city has launched a new campaign and visitor’s guide, “Oakland Coffee Rush,” to celebrate it.
Oakland is home to more than 2,300 coffee shops and 17 roasters, offering a variety of unique tastes and experiences. Customers can sip hand-roasted brews in spaces like Red Bay Coffee’s shipping container turned coffee shop; get bicycle-delivered cups from Bicycle Coffee Company’s mobile coffee roasting bike, and learn from hands-on experiences from tastings to brewing and latte art classes.
