36 Best Coffee Shops in Alameda

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Delicious coffee and a beautiful local shop!! Smells delicious inside and the people there are always friendly. Wifi and comfortable seating too!! Mocha is perfectly balanced not too sweet not too bitter. Will come back for the fresh fruit smoothies and banana nut bread with chocolate 🤤“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Delightfully charming little spot! Welcoming atmosphere and best Americano coffee in a long time. Apparently, not all baristas can make a simple cup that just fills the soul with that perfect sip of magic. Thank you Jaylen💖

Bibim Rice Bowl that was beautiful in presentation but also in flavor. Huge thank you to Dandelion Kaffe for giving us a lovely break during travel. Sometimes you find a gem that stays with you, this was definitely one of those places.“

“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!“

“solid espresso drink game from baristas.“

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

“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!“

“A lot of people had been raving about Mango & Mint. I finally made it there yesterday for the first time and ... it was even better than my expectations!
I ordered the spring rolls. They were so fresh and so tasty! 👍The flan is also a must eat! 🙂The waitress double checked on the ingredients of the sauce to confirm if it was GF or not.
I loved the food so much I returned today for more spring rolls and flan. The waitress greeted as if I was a regular as she recognized me from yesterday. 😉😊
Check them out; they offer much more than what I opted for.“

“I am surprised I hadn't done a review earlier! The Bad Barista people are very nice, full service (remembered that we might want Splenda and added it and cream for us to decaf espresso Americanos for $3 each and added ice for Chris.) really good blueberry muffins too! Squaffins are great! I'll have to try a breakfast sometime too.“

“Lovely and cozy coffee shop with a bright, modern vibe! Lazybird Coffee is a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. The coffee is rich and smooth, and the food is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the brunch dishes and specialty drinks.

The staff are friendly, welcoming, and quick with service. The space is clean, stylish, and very comfortable. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended if you’re in Alameda — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Wescafe is my favorite coffee shop.“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“Thank you for the great friendly service“

“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.“

“Super good skinny Latte w oat milk 👍😊“

“Best ube dessert I've had yet! And the apple pie cake at Christmas was delicious. The cupcakes come across dry to me, but the actual cakes are impressive.

Google seems to think this is a dine-in spot -- not really. There are a couple outdoor tables from that's it.“

“OMG! The Chicken Mole dinner was off the hook! So flavourful tender and juicy....the mole sauce was perfect! Highly recommended. I can't wait to try the meat loaf! 😋“

“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!“

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

“I like what they’re trying to do here, but it lacks soul. The place feels too sterile.
Not human enough for me. The donuts are yum, boba average. Four stars because person helping me was genuinely “helping me” with good attitude and all.“

“Love the place and the staff is so friendly. But the lack of hand hygiene is gross. Can we still be mindful that you are preparing drinks for people, so if you are texting and utilizing your phone or even eating before someone orders a drink, pause and WASH YOUR HANDS! This is the third time, where it’s been so relaxed with hand washing and I find that super unsanitary. Hopefully you guys take my comment into consideration.“

“You must come here to taste the breakfast“

“I'M a regular costumer at this location. they have they highest level of customer service I ever see in any other location. as soon as I walking you can feel the vibe of every single employee welcoming with a bright smile at any time of the day. they all for sure take pride in their work , they make sure you leave the store with a smile on your face. I highly recommend this location specially if you're running late to work. they will have you all set up before a blink of an eye.“

“Great customer service and plenty of parking :)“

“Top quality in the area, doesn't compare to crazy Michelin restaurants in San francisco or 5 star resorts such as local 4 seasons or the Ritz Carlton. They have a long way to live up to the freshness and quality at this place. I don't understand why bay area can't make simple quality food like this place. Chefs literally go to school to learn how to cook crap but not this place. A hidden gem 💎 and gives an overseas vibe in quality. Also value is unbelievable and makes you wonder how other 'top rated' local restaurants charge double and triple and manage to present inedible garbage. This place gives hope and shows that its possible to make real food im this area without the need for making loud statements 'true food kitchen' 'real food' exc. Bay area restaurants($300-$500 per meal) royally disappoint. This place is like a beacon of hope and one would be a fool to give anything lower than a 5 star here but hey those fools support the overrated bay area garbage restaurants.

Keep it up. You guys are simply quality and there are people that really appreciate and understand your quality. Keep it seasonal, whatever produce is in season and quality rather than adhering to a menu out of season achieved by compromising produce quality like other places.“

“Clean, friendly, good place to get a cup of joe or some mints, while you get yourself ready to talk to that cute girl/guy you see shopping there. NOTE: this Starbucks is inside Safeway. They do not accept corporate rewards, so if you have a freebie as a Starbucks card holder, you won't be able to get it here. The receipt you receive after a Starbucks purchase will say it was made at Safeway.“

“Not that many people in there. I haven’t been out to do grocery shop for 1 and 1/2 week and it’s good for me. Just be mindful and kind to others.“

“Friendly customer service and great drinks. Unfortunately, they installed a noisy fan, directly above the side door....which turns on/off every time the door opens/closes. It interrupts the relaxing outdoor environment, I enjoyed sitting to drink my coffee. (I googled the door fan model, and it's an "air curtain" that blows to protect the indoor environment, when the door is opened)“

“Raretea. The name drew me in. I ordered the Matcha Rose Tea and asked for it to be made with oatmilk.It was Deliciously Different! I felt I had a taste of Oriental Specialness!Two layers of green matcha tea and pink rose tea with rose petals at the bottom. Not only was the drink deliciously different, it was Beautiful! I'm stuck on that Matcha Rose Tea.Have ordered anything else. Yet.?“

“It's starbucks. What else is there to say? Whether you're looking for something hot or cold, coffee or tea, this is the best place to go for quality. I also recommend downloading their app to earn rewards for free coffee or for some free merchandise. 10/10

Dietary restrictions: They have many different options for everybody's food choices.

Kid-friendliness: Non caffeine drinks are available as well as fantastic breakfast options for the whole family wether you want sweet, salty, savory...... it's all here!“

“there are changes that i did not know. full serve now.“

“Cheap meal to feed the kids!!!“
