About Motivāt
An independently owned Oakland roastery, café, and espresso catering company.
Motivāt Coffee Roasters is more than a coffee company — we create meaningful experiences around great coffee. We're an independently owned specialty roaster, café, and espresso catering company based at 1528 Webster St in Downtown Oakland, California.
We believe coffee has the power to bring people together, and everything we do is built around that idea. We roast high-quality single origin coffee in-house and serve it through our Oakland café, espresso catering, wholesale partnerships, e-commerce, subscriptions, and community events.
Whether we're serving one person at our café or hundreds of guests at a corporate event, we bring the same standard: great coffee, great people, and an experience worth remembering. Our catering is where that really comes to life — our baristas show up prepared, engaged, and ready to represent your event well, because when a company hires us, we're becoming part of their brand experience.
That trust is reflected in the organizations we've had the opportunity to serve — OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Meta, SiriusXM, HP, Logitech, Cisco, Rosewood Hotel Group, Equity Residential, and TriplePoint Capital among many others. But what we're most proud of isn't the logos; it's the relationships behind them.
Our mission is simple: to motivate hope-filled action through meaningful human experiences. Coffee happens to be how we get to do that every day. Drink great coffee. Change the world.
