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.

I was there for the first time today, but will definitely go back! New favorite. I got two drinks and the first one was on the house! I am a wheelchair user and it has my stamp of approval for it's accessibility features. Front door opening button, designated handicapped table on the entrance, helpful staff and patrons, accessible gender neutral bathroom. Good background music. Free wifi, but well-used... so I learned Zoom calls may not be a good choice for when I'm there :)

I'm obsessed with the Neptune drink! I go out of my way to stop and get one.

Food is so delicious with a generous serving. Service is quick depending on what time you go. Definitely don't recommend going around 12-1PM on week days because the students flood the restaurant. Very chill vibes with well chosen music. Perfect place to study or catch up with a friend while also grabbing a bite to eat.

Tried this place on a Wednesday morning where I wanted to get a coffee from a place with outdoor seating (we brought the dog)!This place is on Park St in Alameda so it's in a pretty busy area. Parking is street parking or paid lot parking.There is a ton of outdoor seating as the street next to the cafe has outdoor tables.We tried an iced matcha latte and an iced Mexican hot chocolate! Both drinks were so so good! They were about $6 each. I appreciated how when we dined in the cafe we were able to use real glasses and compostable straws. The chocolate croissant was obviously not fresh, but it was decent! Minus one star as their pastry selection was not fresh nor very exciting. This is a great cafe to sit and chat at - free WiFi and tons of seating!

Really great local spot with quick service and really great coffee. I usually get an iced caramel latte and it's my favorite near me.

Very friendly staff.The place was filled with people and music from a local artist. The vibe was as if a coffee shop and a diner had a baby. Coffee was solid
I guess I need to get out more and grade essays at coffee shops! In addition to Wi-Fi and plugs, this place has coffee and adult beverages ranging from canned beer to in-house-made mimosas. Yes, grading went smoothly once I ordered my beverage of choice. I will let you figure out what I ordered to drink! This place on Sunday is not crowded, for there's a decent amount of places to nest and get work done or chat quietly with a friend. There are books and board games if you get bored or need a mental break. Cool little addition! Overall, I was more than pleased with this place! This place is teacher-approved!

Come for the coffee, stay for the vibes ~ if you're working/studying that is.My family and I stopped by The Local for a weekend morning coffee. They have so many options. Besides the regular menu, they also have a few other written menus that show other drink options.I went with the Neptune - a frappe with double espresso, half & half, chocolate, vanilla, and banana. Except I opted to get it without chocolate. It was a good frappe, but I expected more of a banana flavor. Overall, it just tasted like a regular coffee frappe with a subtle banana syrup. Price wise, I'd also say it's more expensive than it's worth.The looks like an awesome space to work though! Lots of tables and couches to study. If working isn't what you want to do, they also have lots of games and books to borrow while you're there.

Look at this wine glass - picture was taken before I took a sip - do you find it as hilarious as I do?I ordered a veggie everything bagel with salmon added to it. It was very tall and packed with toppings, ate half of it and took the rest home. Delicious!Service was great and music choice is soothing.

I come here often and I love the place. It just bums me out that they're letting more and more dogs inside the venue and not doing anything about it. I'm not talking about just the small teacup dogs but big ones that take up entire walkways and sniff up to your table, and this especially happens on rainy days. Who'd want to eat when you're smelling wet dogs? The county specifically forbids allowing animals inside food establishments unless they're service animals. You can see other patrons feeling uncomfortable and moving away to other tables. Lots of outdoor tables available, no excuse for this.

I love trying new coffee shops and this spot is great! The drip coffee is great! Also, I've tried their vanilla latte and Taro latte (with and without espresso) and enjoyed them very much! A wonderful balance of not too sweet and still able to taste the coffee! I appreciate the latte art too :)! I love the consistency in the taste of the drinks and the care that goes into making them. That is what keeps me coming back.
