16 Best Coffee Shops in Alameda

“The iced jasmine matcha is the best matcha I’ve ever had hands down. It’s not overly sweet. Amazing with a warm butter croissant. My partner loves their espresso. Staff is also so friendly and kind. Super chill and awesome vibe. All around high quality stuff. Would absolutely recommend anyone check out this gem of a place! Parking can be tricky but totally worth it.“

“Smooth, rich, delicious!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“Don’t miss the green coconut pandan buns. I have no idea what the green stuff is, not the coconut creme filling is great!“

“Quick service and friendly staff“

“A true gem in Alameda. Shannon and the staff actually care about the community and the food they serve is nourishing. They also have killer pies and pot pies usually frozen you can take or order. I have worked in food for 25 years and can honestly say what they say they serve is what they serve. No lies no dishonesty. Just good nourishing food at a decent price.“

“Loved this place! I got the mini egg sandwich with spinach and added turkey. It was delicious and nicely presented. The latte I got was also very tasted. Great atmosphere, really nice service. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place with good food, coffee, and vibes“

“Came here really quickly because a bunch of other places on the island had already closed by 1:00 p.m. The process was easy enough. The selection was still really good at the time and the bagel sandwich was overflowing. And let's be honest, that's what we really want when we order something right? Overflowing bagel sandwich?. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again.“

“Super friendly staff and generous portions! I got the spring rolls with tofu and avocado added and my parter got the tofu and mushroom banh mi (with avocado instead of mayo, since we're both vegan.) Both very delicious. Also wanted to try the spicy seitan sandwich but didn't see it as an option until later – next time!

Dietary restrictions: For vegan options they have tofu offerings, and can sub in avocado instead of mayo. Also a spicy seitan sandwich but not sure if that's going to be a permanent menu item.“

“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 !“

“Apparently it used to be a wine bar but it’s been rebranded with the new owner. I’m not from around here but visited this week and it’s a great warm up spot. It’s got great music and the vibes were amazing. Thank you to the staff (especially the DJ) :)“
