Red Bay Coffee Headquarters & Cafe

Red Bay Coffee is a Black-owned Oakland roaster founded in 2014 by Keba Konte, with direct trade beans and cafés around the Bay Area. A December 2025 sign said the International Boulevard HQ café has closed. Coffee is still served at the original roastery on East 10th, a few blocks away. Street parking is paid and hard to find.

The Saigon latte with condensed milk is the go-to, along with Vietnamese cold brew, a candied yam latte, Red Bay Fog and a charcoal latte. Coltrane and Brazilian Cake Lady are the classic roasts, and People Get Ready is the newer series.
