Starbucks in Alameda

“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!“

“Zoey at this Starbucks was so kind and thoughtful. She went out of her way to make the experience better, even though she didn’t have to. It is rare to meet someone who chooses kindness just because they can. Thank you, Zoey, for brightening our day!“

“I have been to so many Starbucks, but this one is by far my favorite. The staff here is amazing! The customer service is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Anytime I'm here, I like to spend an hour or more; it gives me the peace of mind I'm looking for. I drove 20 minutes just to come here from downtown Oakland—that’s how much I love this place Thank you guys 🫶🙏“

“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)“

“The place is cute and clean with a beautiful friendly climate. The people very friendly. It has tables inside and outside. They did not have the sandwich I ordered nor the croissant with ham and cheese. I would still come back and I will come back.

“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.“

“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
