I visited at a busy time. It seems that the cafe was short-staffed as the employees seemed stressed. I received my sandwich immediately and my tea 15 minutes later. The store has a beautiful space but it is worn out and dirty.

I was fired from here when I was a teenager because I was pregnant by a manager named Steve. Will never forget how badly I was treated. They don't treat their works right. Stay away.

First time in Alameda. Visited this Starbucks and the quality of their coffee was different than what my local Starbucks serves. I am not sure if it is the machines they use that my latte came out so creamy and delicious or if it was the skill of the barista?!

This is a major upgrade from my previous review. Today this Starbucks was a decent experience. Staff for reasonably helpful. Seating area was reasonably clean. Bathrooms, not so tidy.
Today, I was really disappointed. I came in with my dog and was told he has to be a service dog to be allowed in. I thought this is so ridiculous considering I come into Starbucks every weekend with my dog for a beverage and a puppicino. So I went over to Pete's Coffee & Tea. They allow dogs. Starbucks just lost a loyal customer.

This is the closest Starbucks to my job so it's safe to call it my regular Starbucks! Love how fast and accurate they are but this one employee Sophia is RUDE every single time, I ask for a straw and she gives so much attitude! Takes over 3 mins to grab me a straw so I asked the cashier for one and it was given to me so quickly after.

Just ordered a latte. They don't leave out sugar/Splenda, so I had to ask for that, as well as a stirrer.

I've always avoided this particular location because since the day it opened it had an overpowering odor of mold, like old wet mop smells. Every time over the years when I'd sporadically try again only to be disappointed it was the same. I couldn't understand how it had never been addressed or resolved over the years. I am very happy to announce the smell was actually gone, thank Goddess for that! Enjoy the pleasant aroma of brewed coffee as it should be, untainted.

It's 1pm on a sunny Saturday. Somebody put the tables out, then left the chairs stacked and chained together. WHY??? I've been going to this Starbucks location since it opened. Unless the weather is bad I like to sit at a table outside. I'm not the only one. This isn't the first time the chairs have been left chained together. I didn't see the regular manager today, but I asked a woman who appeared to be trying to run things if she could free the chairs and she said something like they would when they got a chance. I think they open at 6am, but by 1pm they "haven't had a chance" to spare the 10 seconds it would take to turn a key in the lock securing the chairs. Nice mismanagement, Mz Manager.
Great location and a friendly staff!
