“We ordered a mocha milkshake, and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was great, but the mocha milkshake made me hate Starbucks Frappuccino so much.Because the mocha milkshake is definitely a valid reason to visit this placeIt's rich creamy, and has real mocha in itI'm reviewing this place so I can visit it laterThey have some seating featuring a large street facing glass stool areaI parked at the O'Reilly across the street. I am not dealing with street parking in Oakland. Even though this is Alhambra. IYKYK.“
“I tried their holiday latte (maple, hazelnut, and cinnamon) and it was so good. Great ambiance for catching up with friends or working from a cafe. WiFi code is prominently displayed at register. I did not order food, but a friend ordered their breakfast wrap and it looked a little too healthy for my liking. Will definitely be back for coffee and maybe to read a book or newspaper before work.“
“What a cute spot! Love the dulce leche latte! Really flavourful with the coffee coming through. You can taste the smoothness of the shot. The backyard is small and cozy with a water feature and extra points for being doggy friendly with treats for them too! Would I come back - that's a resounding yes from me! Can't wait to try the black sesame latte next.“
“I am so grateful for the food and love that I am experiencing today.Vegetarian options: I saw others order some amazing things, and the coffee and scones were great, fresh, and delicious ( not bland and hard).Kid-friendliness: There is outdoor seating that overlook the boats and the view is soothing ? ✨️“
“We checked out this place for the first time on a recent Sunday afternoon. The place was hopping with wonderful live music (The Lost Cats - jazz / R and B), and the brunch was delicious. Please keep the live music coming on weekends - such a good vibe!“
“A cute cafe and bakery where you can swing by to get some freshly baked pastries or coffee. Service is friendly and the prices are really affordable for freshly baked food. I really enjoyed the banana bread. It was a thick slice of moist and not-too-sweet goodness. Would come back!“
“came here with a friend, on a Wednesday to celebrate her birthday. We arrived at about 11:20 AM. It was not very crowded at the time, but by lunch, it was very busy. We had great service, great food, great ambience. It was a sunny day, so it was great to be outside.“
“Jim's Diner offers a consistently enjoyable experience with great food, excellent service, and the ultimate diner ambience. The California scramble, California Benedict, and corned beef hash were all delicious, accompanied by decent house coffee. Service was attentive, and our order arrived accurately within 15 minutes. For those craving a classic diner experience, Jim's is the place to be.“
“Stopped in for two banh mis after work today, combination for my husband and the lemongrass chicken for me, both very very good. He's pretty particular about his banh mis and he kept saying "this is a good banh mi, this is a really good banh mi!" They're very full and not just a bunch of extra bread which is what I like, actually filling instead of just fluff. Will def be coming again. I also got the veggie egg rolls which are super good, my husband hates veggie egg rolls and loved these! Can't wait to come again !“
“The boba drinks are delicious but we love the mango bingsoo from here even more. It's very comparable to the ones we've had in North Shore, Oahu. The snow ice is perfectly soft and doesn't melt quickly. The mangoes are super sweet. We appreciate the evaporated milk on the side and the extra mangoes and ice cream at the bottom of the bowl. Order using a kiosk inside. Staff is very friendly and costumer service oriented. The place is clean and perfect temperature regardless of the weather outside.“
“MYLA (aka "MAI TAI") IS AWESOME !!! She always provides outstanding service, with a huge smile and incredible warmth. (In fairness, everyone else that I have ever dealt with here was also great.). In a world full of "gourmet" coffee shops, I still return to Peet's, again and again. They are unparalleled!“
“Was at the park with my family and decided to stop by for a drink. I ordered a Mocha Frappuccino with Almond milk and it's super delicious! The drink was so good, my husband and I drank it too fast before I could get a before photo. The owner was very kind and friendly, she made us feel at home, 10/10 all around!“
“This was truly delicious.Best Vietnamese lunch I've had in about 4 years.We like the cuisine, but it is hard to find a place that does a great job. There are good ones in my area, but this was really good.Small place, open kitchen, maybe 10 tables, but clean and good service.“
“I’ve been coming here since 2013. After a decade of patronage, I can say you truly cannot go wrong with Julie’s. Their menu is almost entirely vegan/vegetarian and they’re very accommodating of dietary restrictions. Their drinks are consistent and my favorite is a half-caf lavender latte with oat milk. The patio is so beautiful and perfect for catching up with friends. I miss their wall of teas, but you can still purchase tea by the ounce at the counter. I regularly buy loose floral teas from them.“
“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!“
“"Jay's Coffee Teas and Treats" is a small cafe in Alameda's Morton Station. They offer coffee, teas, sandwiches and bakery items. It's a very neatly organized place, with small tables inside. I was there thirty minutes before closing, and the lady made an effort to fill orders. I ordered a large coffee. They were sold out, so she made the coffee fresh for me. The other customer asked for a sandwich, and they made it "on order" in the kitchen. This extra effort and friendly service will earn them my repeat business. Located near the A-1 Market, near Benton St & Encinal Ave. Street parking“
“Great Boba place with plenty of yummy choices. Decorations are fun, and there is a kids' play area that was clean and fun for little ones to enjoy. Every wall seems Instagram worthy for pictures. It's worth checking out if you're in the area.Kid-friendliness: They have non caffeine drinks with less sugar options for kids.“
“My co-worker friend arranged a coffee meetup with us four former co-workers that resided in Alameda. It was cool since I haven't seen two of them is a while. He arranged for us to meet up at 9am on a Thursday at Bad Barista, his favorite local coffee shop located at the Encinal Shopping Center, a small neighborhood strip mall. When I arrived, I remember this being the former Café Aulait. Checking out the menu board, offering consists of coffee drinks, teas, frappes, smoothies, shushes and breakfast sandwiches and bagels, square muffins and croissants. I got a large drip and was hoping their offerings would including pastries, but they only had bagels and the square muffins as they were out of croissants. They have a quaint patio in the back for you to enjoy your drinks and food. It was quiet and we were able to catch-up with our coffees. Worker was friendly. No restroom on the premises as it is located across at the Encinal Market Good local coffee shop with a quaint patio. Hope they expand their offering to include breakfast pastries options.“
“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 “
“Wonderful service, super tasty food and coffee. Glad we asked about the Spaniard, was a super creamy nice change to try! Loved the longanisa lumpia and chorizo tots shared plates. Silog and loco moco entrees were sizeable and made for great leftover eats later!“
“This place never disappoints!!I was looking for a pick me up to enjoy the storm with a nice cup of coffee, and what did I find?An exquisite guava-cheese Danish ?Crispy edges, soft buttery layers, tangy guava jam over creamy cheese filling ?$5 of joy!!“
“Cane here two different days. 1st time they had all the selection of great toasts the offer (avocado, banana, etc) and we loved them. Next time, no toasts so we were disappointed. Still, good coffee both times.Make sure to get those toasts!“
