Oakland’s black-owned Red Bay Coffee, known for its candied yam lattes and charcoal vanilla lattes, has quietly opened a new cafe in San Francisco. It’s a quaint operation — little more than a stand in the lobby of the WeWork building at 650 California St. — but Red Bay considers it the company’s first standalone outpost in the city.

Red Bay Coffee, founded in 2014 by Keba Konte, has three locations in Oakland and roasts and serves coffee at Daily Driver, a bagel shop and creamery in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood. Red Bay Coffee is also a supplier for several Bay Area companies, including Facebook’s offices in Menlo Park.

The new setup on California Street has a few counter seats and a simple menu with drip coffee, pour-overs, nitro cold brews, Americanos and espressos, among other things. The prices fall between $3 and $5 for medium drinks.

The rapid expansion for Red Bay Coffee fits a trend for the brand. Last year, the company moved into a new 11,000-square-foot building in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood that now serves as its headquarters. The original Red Bay Coffee roasting facility on East 10th Street in Oakland remains open.

Red Bay Coffee is also expanding to Los Angeles with its 11,000-square-foot cafe and roastery in Jefferson Park. The Southern California space will also be used to as a community hub for events, concerts, panel discussions and festivals. As for what’s on the horizon for the company, Konte told The Chronicle last year that fans of the brand can expect more growth, starting with the San Francisco cafe.

“As we’ve matured and gained traction out there, I realized it’s time to start focusing our energy on developing a position in the San Francisco market,” Konte said. “This opportunity was just too good for us to pass up.”
