The Beanery is one of my go-to spots for coffee! The coffee here is always smooth and delicious. I really enjoy their iced and hot oatmilk lattes. Great value for the quality and staff are friendly and efficient.

Do not buy a panini from here. What you will get is an overpriced sandwich that has not been pressed.
The bread will be so soggy it’ll fall apart in your hands, and pieces will fall out onto your shirt and stain it.

The coffee is bad and the service is bad.

The hot and cold beverage options are all fantastic here. The sandwiches and pastry selection is varied and there are specials based on season as well. My current favorite hot beverage is the peppermint bark mocha and cold beverage the Vietnamese coffee. I love the Thai iced tea in the warmer months and that they will make the Vietnamese coffee hot if you request it. The syrup flavor selection is unbelievable and I have enjoyed many different lattea and London fog options as well. The jambon and buerre or brie (ham and butter or brie) sandwich warmed makes for a great breakfast that tides me through the busy work days.

There's no surprise as to why this place is always busy. I have always said that half of the experience of a food establishment is how you are treated. At this place, the people behind the counter are always friendly and they work fast!
I also give them huge kudos for the vast selection of food that they offer. Everything I've tried has been very good. The only thing I have yet to order is coffee to make at home which I can almost bet I am missing out on.
We've been coming to this place since forever, and we hope to continue to come here for many more years to come.

This is a popular place and it’s no wonder! I have been buy their medium roast house blend coffee by the pound for years. It robust, smooth and delicious. I make my coffee in a percolator and it’s the best. Everything I’ve tried from their baked goods sandwiches has been very good. I mostly go there just for the coffee, however. The staff and service has always been consistent and courteous. I always recommend The Beanery coffee to all my friends.

This an excellent place to hang out, drink a slow cup of coffee, enjoy a snack and enjoy the social milieu for people watching and lots of varied conversations. This is not a place to go to if you are expecting to have table side service. When you order - you need to keep an ear out for your number to be called. On occasion - mistakes have been made with my order (not recently). The menu is simple. The coffee decent.

Loved this place! I got the mini egg sandwich with spinach and added turkey. It was delicious and nicely presented. The latte I got was also very tasted. Great atmosphere, really nice service. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place with good food, coffee, and vibes

I love lattes and they make the best foam in town! Excellent mini breakfast sandwiches as well. And great employees. My go-to spot.
There are several excellent coffee shops in Alameda, and the Beanery is certainly high up on the list! Their espresso drinks are great and consistent, food & pastry selections are varied, and the staff are some of the most sincere folks around. They are my go-to spot for a nice morning brew and occasional fresh beans ☕️

Long, loyal customer of the Beanery. Enter today a few minutes after 7am, order 2+ lbs of coffee. It started to get busy, 20 minutes later I asked the status of my order, was told they knew. 20 more minutes later, my order was still not filled as other customer orders were filled. A few minutes later my order was filled but with no apology or acknowledgement. Overall, I spent 50 minutes there, was late for work, my boss was angry with me. I am upset! If local independent business want support, they need to support the people who support them. So, if you go the Beanery be aware it may take forever to get your order. I hope you have that much time.

Stepping into the Beanery of Alameda is always a delight. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of superior coffee fills the air, promising a perfect cup every time. What truly sets this place apart, however, is not just the exceptional coffee. The service here is impressively fast, ensuring that even during the busiest hours, you're not kept waiting. The staff are genuinely friendly, making each visit feel personal and welcoming. It's the kind of place where the baristas remember your order after a few visits, which adds a lovely personal touch. The environment is another highlight – clean, cozy, and perfectly conducive to either a quick coffee stop or a longer, leisurely visit with friends or a good book. It's this combination of superb coffee, swift service, warm hospitality, and a spotless setting that makes the Beanery of Alameda a standout. A well-deserved five-star experience that I can't recommend highly enough!
