A bunch of us stopped in for coffee after Jazzercise, with the intent of supporting a local shop. They offer coffees, teas, smoothies, bagels, pastries etc. I got a coffee and an Acai fruit bowl. I'm always disappointed when coffee places don't offer decaf as a regular option, but they can make a decaf Americano so I went with that. At first they forgot to add the oatmilk so I asked for a larger cup to accommodate the creamer. Another friend got a strawberry banana smoothie. They made it with too much ice, so she asked them to make another one. On the positive side, the acai bowl was good. It came with fresh strawberries, bananas, granola and coconut. Finally one person got avocado toast with bacon on top which looked great. She mentioned the bacon is not usually included, but she always gets a side order and they put it on top.

Food is stale. Coffee is watery. Atmosphere is not clean. This place can be such a gem with right management.

The drinks here are pretty great. They have a wide variety of coffee ranging from regular lattes to Vietnamese coffee to pandan and ube lattes. They also have a bunch of tea options as well like milk and fruit tea with add ins like boba. Theres also a small selection of food such as bagels and breakfast sandwiches too although I haven't tried those. The place is pretty small and unassuming with it having more of a small and local coffee shop feel to it. Theres a tablet at the counter where you can order or you can order at the front with one of the workers if you prefer. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Love this place and supporting local. The line times are now down in the Americano was much better than the option at Starbucks. Great job. Keep up the great work.

Love this place and supporting local but owner please staff a bit better for weekend mornings - 25 minutes for a cup of coffee is painful - if you want to compete with Starbucks across the street you need to step up … also music would be a nice touch with such a long wait …

Visited from out of state for a few days in Alameda. Small, locally-owned business. Friendly service and great coffee, pastries and breakfast food. Worth the wait!

My latte was watery—haven’t tried the other drinks yet but that one didn’t leave a great impression

The customer service was nonexistent. The wait time was really long even though there weren’t that many people. I got a half sweetened iced coffee and it taste like melted ice cream. The place has so much potential, but clearly the owners don’t care to make it nice or tidy.
Place is great but it closes at 1 pm for some reason, was hoping for some ube waffles :(

This place could be awesome with better management. Twice I’ve arrived to pick up an order in the morning and the staff showed up 10 and 15 minutes past opening time. The 2nd time, there was food scraps on the floor. I came back two days later to grab a coffee and the same food was still on the floor.On the plus side, the staff is pleasant and the food is good, particularly the açaí bowl and salmon lox bagel.

We order a couple items at work from this small coffee shop. We order an Ube ice matcha late, Purple Everest, and a Ube ice late Vietnamese coffee. All the drinks were really good.

Food here was on the sweet side definitely wasn’t expecting ice cream on top but the Ube sauce although a lot would have preferred it separated so the waffle itself wouldn’t be soggy so quickly. Though I got ti say the drink was bomb 100%recommend viet
