Nomad Cafe - Banh Mi, Breakfast & Coffee in Oakland

Nomad Cafe is a beloved Oakland neighborhood spot where the bold flavors of Vietnam meet the comfort of American cafe culture. Nestled on Shattuck Avenue in the heart of North Oakland, we bring together a community of food lovers, coffee enthusiasts, and wanderers who crave something a little different. Our kitchen crafts Vietnamese-inspired banh mi sandwiches loaded with fresh cilantro, crunchy cucumber, tangy carrot pickle, and spicy jalapeños - all tucked into perfectly toasted bread. Whether you choose our smoky Pork Chop Banh Mi, the crispy Chicken Banh Mi, or the savory Tofu Banh Mi, every bite is a journey of flavor. For breakfast lovers, our hearty Breakfast Bagels and flaky Croissant Breakfasts are piled high with eggs, cheddar cheese, and your choice of premium meats. And then there's our Vietnamese Iced Coffee - strong, sweet, and brewed with robusta beans and chicory, blended with sweetened condensed milk over ice. It's the kind of drink that makes you slow down, take a sip, and savor the moment. We proudly serve Oakland and surrounding neighborhoods including Temescal, Rockridge, Bushrod, Emeryville, Berkeley, and Piedmont Avenue.
