Always worth the drive. Great coffee, great pastries, great potato salad.

The 3 hours atmosphere, old floor and laughs among staff are delightful. There I met one of my youngest pale of 3 years old randomly and it seemed to have been a memorable moment for her

Really good food + drinks and a cute albeit slightly rag tag spot.Little bit pricey, but its worth for the quality.

I ate at Blue Dot on several occasions before the pandemic and just went back for breakfast for the first time since then. I was 100% disappointed. The best thing on the menu in the before times was a bread pudding french toast that is no longer available. I opted to order the only other interesting breakfast item, the chilaquiles, but was told they were unavailable. There were only about five breakfast options, so I ordered the pesto scrambled egg sandwich. The sandwich’s most prominent feature was the very mediocre bread, next was the pesto, and last was a tiny bit of flavorless egg. My side was a two grapes, half an unripe strawberry and two completely unripe pieces of honeydew melon that were inedible. My friend chose the eggs, bacon and toast. The bacon was fine but the eggs were rubbery and flavorless. My cappuccino was nice. The bill was $37 (I added a $3 tip, which was generous since I had to stand in line to place my order and get my own silverware and water and bus my dirty dishes). I will never go to the Blue Dot again.

Blue Dot is amazing. Gotta try their Artemis salad…named after Team Artemis when the World Cup was here in Alameda. Their coffees are great, as are their scones (love the almond ones but they’re all good) Support a local small business.Parking: Street parking but usually plenty
Great service! So friendly, and great pastries and coffee.

Wow! I have been wanting to go here for awhile and I am sooo glad I went! First of all the atmosphere is so cute! Different sized tables, in and outside and another section with a door open to the sidewalk.The food was delicious! I ordered the lox on everything and it hit the spot. Salty and perfectly proportioned. Flat white coffee was great and I ordered a blueberry muffin to top it off. Homemade and divine.Run, don’t walk here! ? I brought my laptop and was able to get some work done in a lovely place. I felt welcomed here as well, baristas were kind.

Really enjoying this place. I've had a few meals because I work near by, but I've come in a few times as well now. The staff is always pretty nice. Especially the coffee maker person. Always clean tables. Lots of places to sit. The house made pickled onions on the avocado toast drive me wild!Fast service, clean restrooms, outdoor seating available.My only gripe is there are a weird amount of dogs every time I come to this place. So there's a bit of fecal visibility and noise while you eat/chat but not the restaurants fault.Definitely come check this place out. Bring your dog.Wheelchair accessibility: It's flat at the front door but they also have a ramp to the secondary seating area from the outside.

Went here while I was waiting for someone. A cute cafe with lots of indoor seating. The dishes are all around $11-14. I just got a scone and a coffee and let me tell you, I would go back for a scone!! I had the feta spinach one and it was buttery delicious.
Always worth the drive. Great coffee, great pastries, great potato salad.
