Lane-E Kefa Coffee

Went in to grab some coffee and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was warm, not hot as it should. I ordered the egg,spinach & Swiss sandwich and I thought it took a while. The sandwich was underseasoned and lacked flavor overall. However it was fresh. The best part was the English muffin, it was nicely toasted and crispy on the outside. I generally avoid giving average reviews to local business but I was disappointed at this place given the fact it has high reviews! Probably it was just bad luck for me today.

The owner Sifu runs a solid nook here. Study, read, coffee, sandwiches and smoothies. My favorites are the drip coffee which are made with the Ethiopian coffee beans he also sells, and the Laney hot sandwich: a delicious turkey, spinach, egg, Swiss cheese on an English muffin. Consistently good food and great prices. Small drip coffee is $2.75! It’s a treat on the go or for a small stay time for me! Thanks Lane-E Kefa Coffee.

Got a delicious coffee & House Special Sandwich. So tasty and ingredients were really fish. Also great music going which is always a plus in the morning, and local art on the walls. Will be back for sure

Great little joint, right next to Lake Merritt BART station. Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, great food, and reasonably priced!

A special local coffee cafe with good coffee and tasty breakfast sandwich. I ordered a delicious breakfast sandwich with egg, spinach (generous portion), and ooey gooey melted Swiss cheese on an English muffin. Folks here go above and beyond. I had my breakfast and coffee in the cafe. Friendly guy at the register made my coffee in a mug and brought to my table. When I asked for half and half he steamed a little and added to my drink. The person preparing the breakfast sandwiches to order also brought my sandwich to my table and was friendly. This is a great place to hang out alone or with others for coffee and/or breakfast. They have a lunch menu too, but I didn’t hang around long enough to try that menu.
