22 Best Coffee Shops in Alameda

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Favorite coffee shop in Alameda! Everything from food, delicious coffee always and their continued support for local artists!“

“Perfectly temperatures dark roast makes the 9am leisurely cup all the kick you need to your day, although the delicious options on the menu may keep you until lunch. Thanks for the Dark Brew, Coffee Cultures! <3 ☕️ <3“

“Really nice looking place and very comfortable. But the wait is pretty long. Ordered 2 lattes and it took 25 minutes to get the drinks. They were good though so if you have the time to hang out, it's a great place for a lazy Sunday morning.“

“Best chai on the island. Very sweet and solid service. The owner is a gem! Great for hanging out front with a book or working inside. I love that it’s a mix of folks hanging out and working and not just one or the other. Favorite neighborhood spot!“

“We visited Alameda in April to attend a celebration of life for a family member that we lost suddenly. Our family was in town from all over the country, and we found Cafe Jolie Petit near our hotel. They took such great care of us, fed us meals on three or four consecutive days, and we could not have asked for better service or food during an emotional time. Pastries (Koiugn Amann!), Monte Cristo, and the coffee bar were our favorites, but everything we had was delicious. We hope to be back for happier circumstances at some point, and definitely will return!“

“This is a jewel in the neighborhood. Busy in the weekends and the food is amazing. I had the ground meat, egg and rice dish. Yummy! Had an ube latte, super yummy. My daughter had the avocado toast and a tasty matcha with strawberry. Service is friendly and competent. Vibes are mellow. Come here!“

“Nice clean location in Downtown Alameda. Spacious and clean. Everyone was civil keeping conversations low.“

“solid espresso drink game from baristas.“

“This place serves joy by the cup and happiness by the bite. The coffee? Bold enough to turn any morning around. The tea? A perfect hug in a mug, no matter the weather. And the pastries? Golden, flaky bites of pure magic that might just ruin other desserts for you. The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly, and my taste buds are still doing a happy dance. 10/10, would abandon my kitchen for this place again.“

“This tea garden is a charming place with a peaceful atmosphere. I ordered a sustainably sourced tea and the pot was beautifully presented on a quirky display stand - a real delight! The salmon toast was rich and flavourful and clearly made with high quality ingredients. However, compared to other fair trade options nearby, I enjoyed my visit and would happily return for a special treat!“

“We tried Mango and Mint in Alameda for the first time on a Sunday afternoon, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The portion size was amazing for the price huge and definitely worth it, especially I love veggies! I ordered the grilled lemongrass pork chop with rice, and it was flavorful. Few seating capacity but that is totally fine since it it kinda quick service set-up.

The Thai milk tea was just how I like it rich with tea flavor, not overly sweet. We also had the pineapple coconut smoothie, and you could really taste the mint and kale refreshing and fun!

Service was great & the staff was friendly, and the menu is simple, with plenty of drink options. Overall, it’s such a wonderful local find a true underrated spot in Alameda.

I just hope the serving sizes stay consistent because everything we ordered tasted great. We’ll definitely be back!“

“A bit slow and pricey. I wish they cooked the eggs differently for the bagel sandwiches. I am not sure if they are using powdered eggs, but the way they prepare them in thin folded sheets makes them dry and unpleasant. Bacon was also shredded and dry. The sausage was great though, and the quality of the bagels are good.“

“The ube donuts were great but the matcha cocoa bombs were too bitter and the white chocolate bomb was too sweet.“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“During my tour of Alameda's dining scene, I snapped some photos of Bad Barista's offerings for Restaurant Week and these are the coolest dishes I saw. They make sweeter drinks that are almost dessert-like coffee with cream and fruity flavors. Their colorful, fun drinks really stand out, and they also do sandwiches and plenty of other fun food additions.“

“I can not express how impressed and blown away I was visiting Neptune’s today “on accident”. I was driving past neptunes today and we ran into car trouble right in front. We got out and pushed the car into the nearest parking lot which happened to be neptunes. We had just bought a used car in the neighborhood and was trying to make it home and the battery just died. We spent some time pulling out the battery and ran next door to the auto parts store to buy a new one. Out of the blue an employee walked us out some water and said “I saw you out here and it’s hot. Wanted to give you some water and ask if you needed help. “ blown away by his kindness I thanked him but we had it covered. Once we got the battery replaced I decided to get breakfast from Neptune’s to show my thanks for their hospitality. Wow was I blown away. The breakfast was amazing , the coffee on point and the hospitality was unmatched. I give 5 stars for all in. My youngest son said. That guy is a good man! And I agree if you’re looking for good service and great food. Stop here! You won’t regret it.“

“Super good skinny Latte w oat milk 👍😊“

“Thank you for the great friendly service“

“I was working at a cafe, just like any other day, when a lady came by and asked if I needed a coffee refill. I was so pleasantly surprised and happily said yes! To my delight, she even brought it over to my table (with a new lid).

I’ve visited many coffee shops, but this small act of kindness made this Starbucks stand out as the best one I’ve been to in recent years.

I forgot to ask her name, but she truly made my day!“

“Unique Special Order Cakes. Made my granddaughter's 16th heart shaped Birthday cake and she was totally pleased with the results. It matched her wishes exactly. Cupcakes were super delish! Thank you Rosanna for all your help!“

“Nice clean location in Downtown Alameda. Spacious and clean. Everyone was civil keeping conversations low.“
