Coffee Shops near Ashland

“All I gotta say is the younger guy Luis with the glasses and short curly hair has 100% customer service, went there today with a long line and was short one of my drinks, usually the rude girl there gives attitude and says you gotta go around and wait again. Left happy as hell that I got my drinks and customer service!“

“Incredible chai and excellent service. Chatted with the person behind the counter for a bit and he was so nice and gave me a bit of the history as to why there are more and more yemeni cafes popping up (I lived here many years ago and was back to visit). He recommended the chai over the house latte and it was a solid one. They make it on the spot so it’s literally boiling hot. I had it to-go and part of me thought the cup was going to melt and hello microplastic! If any that’s the only thing for me, not a criticism per se, but it took 20 mins for it to cool down enough to take a sip. Delicious though! Lots of people working with their laptops, and some mingling. Seems like it is a neighborhood hub.“

“Best avocado toast evah! I love it“

“This was my first time going, but I found this cafe to have a perfect atmosphere. I have only tried their variety of matcha/coffees, but the food looked pretty good as well. Customer service was great too, very kind and friendly, definitely will come back.“

“They have fresh beans if you are into those:
- espresso blend is decent - I have not used those beans in my home made espresso but tasted doubleshot - good crema, good neutral taste hinting towards chocolate, walnuts minus bitterness, maybe lack of fruitiness but I do not particularly enjoy fruitiness often.

I took columbian medium roast, will update on how it went there, the beans look really fresh (roasted in 25 and I took on 28 so maybe too fresh for espresso but I like fresh personally)

UPDATE: Espresso Roast and Columbian Roast AND Ethiopian Y. Roasts are incredible! They really do it so well, I am shocked I did not go to them any sooner…. Wow!“

“Friendly place with great coffee and breakfast snacks. Bonus they welcome dogs there 💙🐶“

“great atmosphere and a very relaxing place to get some work done or fellowship. Very accepting of everyone No judgment just great ambiance.“

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

“Fatima is such a sweetheart and literally everything we had was delicious. My mother in law and I got a baklava croissant, several savory croissants and a piece of the Arabic Leche cake and it was all so fabulous and an extremely good value for the cost! I can’t wait to come back and try the cupcakes!!“

“This is one of our favorite weekend brunch spots. The owner could not be sweeter, and the food is always fresh and delicious. I'm vegan, so I always get the vegetarian combo plate, but I never bore of it. Feels like home cooking, with the freshest of ingredients. And the injera is delicious, too. Our favorite Ethiopian spot in the East Bay...and we have a lot of great Ethiopian restaurants!“

“It wasn't busy yet and the service was a little slow but the food was good. I wanted it to be hotter. My seat was very dirty next to me and that bothered me. And then they had live music setting up next to our table, it was a little awkward. Pretty good. Could do better.“

“Great local and family owned coffee shop. It's small but we appreciated the space and the wonderful service very friendly and she made our breakfast sandwiches to order. They take cash, Venmo, and Zelle just a heads up but that wasn't an issue for us. Would highly recommend to anyone.“

“OMG!!! Time stopped as I bit into a donut savant cronut for the very first time. I live in N. Sacramento but I am fantasizing about the next trip to #oakland. You people are truly doing god’s work here. Carry on😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“It’s a Beautiful place the guys very Friendly and Nice costumer Service the Best Boba In the Bay Area. We loved and recommend ;they have a lot of flavors every fruit it’s Natural and the tapiocas so good 😊“

“I love ❤️ this place. and delicious hot chocolate and coffee“

“I love this cute and charming little coffee shop! Reasonably priced and delicious drinks with great service from Sherry, Alex, and the rest of the staff. They serve Cat & Cloud coffee and pastries from The Midwife and the Baker and Good Luck Bakery. Stop by next time you’re in the neighborhood!“

“Great pastries and coffee!“

“My fiancé and I came here for a rare morning coffee date, a perfect pause in our busy lives as parents. Parking was easy and free just around the corner. We grabbed a sunny table outside, soaking in the morning light and each other’s company, while sipping lattes topped with delightful foam art. Warm, bright, and full of life, the Mother Tongue was inviting and cheerful, with wonderfully friendly staff. It was a lovely, and simple, a great and sweet experience.“

“Sandwich fruit decaf coffee“

“This is an amazing cafe/viennoiserie. It’s small and unassuming, in a non trendy location. If it was in SF, lines will be out the door. For me, it blew Tartine out of the water. Food reviews are subjective in its nature and although some might disagree with that, you will know immediately this place is serious about their craft.

Orange and vanilla lattes are amazing. Regular latte is also very rich and dense in the best way possible. Orange latte is out sometimes, but I highly recommend you come back and try it.

I tried several pastries here and all were buttery, flaky, luxurious goodness. Black sesame Onigiri and strawberry moon were excellent. I thought there weren’t a lot of chocolate in chocolate croissant but somehow it was right amount once I tasted it. It’s also relaxing to watch barista going through rituals of espresso making without rush you see in most coffee shops.

I’m kinda impressed about this place. I was excited to come and try and it exceeded my expectations. I come here regularly now.“

“So excited to have another coffee shop in the area that isn’t Starbucks. I got the seasonal pumpkin spice iced latte and it’s delicious—i was worried it might be too sweet but it’s perfectly balanced and strong!!!! excited to have this in the neighborhood :)“

“Excellent place to get breakfast or sandwich and a coffee. Small, efficient, friendly, delicious, and well priced! As of December 2023 a sausage egg and cheese croissant is still just $5.45, when donut shops are charging up to $7/8 for the same thing.“

“Different name same/similar menu to previous restaurant. Something is lacking but not sure what entirely. Food options didn't wow me. Had the sweet and savory toast. They were just alright. Seems like a great spot for folks who want to work and have a coffee. Probably not somewhere I'd return.“

“Ten of us in Oakland for a wedding just descended on this suggested cafe for breakfast. A family member who’d lived in Oakland recommended it. She was right to. Our server was absolutely fantastic. She was prompt, had a wonderful attitude and a genuine personality. Our breakfast orders were varied, came out accurate and all of us enjoyed a great 40 mins or so. Parking was easy and pretty much right out front. Definitely recommend the Coffee Mill for a no frills authentic breakfast experience where you feel welcome.“

“We stopped in at the recommendation of our local hosts. If you’re a Starbucks person or a cop, don’t come here. This is a real neighborhood cafe. The community is outstanding, the people are incredibly nice and social, and the chai I had was amazing. Vegan baked goods are also delicious. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Oakland!“

“I catered a small surprise party from Toastique for my husband's 50th. The plans were last minute, but Linh was most helpful. She worked with me to sort through options, and helped me come up with a menu that worked well for a Sunday brunch. Loved the toasts we ordered (avo smash, greek and pb crunch) and the fresh juices were an absolute hit. The fruit platter was oh so good. Everything looked beautiful! Linh was very flexible and delivered on time.“

“Good prices, portions are reasonable brunch-sized and the back garden seating area is quaint. Be patient as they are often busy.“

“I just went to sujues a few days back .I order my normal small or large iced Carmel macchiato with whip cream and extra Carmel .it is one of my favorite drinks when I go there .The people are kind at the cashier area .I sometimes tip here n there because I like there place .they have the food and snacks behind the glass which I can see clearly .There prices are a lil high but it's the bay area Ca .I might go back again tomorrow for another drink. Small is $5.75 and a large is $6.92.I wish they were only $4-$5 but that's the price we pay for the best weather state in America and in the west coast .“

“♿️Cafe has a wheelchair accessible seating, entrance and toilet. Seating available outside in front of the cafe, in the cafe and in the back patio .

Wonderful family run cafe. Popular with many Glenview elementary families in the mornings before school. Excellent selection of coffees, teas and breakfast pastries and bagels. Great to sit inside or outside. And nice spot to get some work done. Customer service is personal and so kind. As we are regulars, they recognize our son, and they always say hello to him.

Parking: Street parking on Park Blvd varies. Sometimes easy to get a spot in the morning if needed, sometimes a bit challenging later in the day.

Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entrance, seating and restroom“

“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!“

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

“I saw the ratings and didn't know what to expect. Brought my family here to avoid the Berkely Parents' Weekend crowds. I was so pleasantly surprised the quality of the food and service. The roti is so fresh - perfectly crispy and chewy. The spices on the food and house coconut dipping sauce offered so much flavor - we were all blown away. Our kids loved the Thai Tea. Accomodates vegan taste buds and all other dietary preferences.“

“We loved this place. it was very cute, lots of options to choose from, and very lovely staff! they were very patient accommodating our huge group and all our requests. Definitely coming back!“

“great tasting coffee with robust flavors, very satisfied, going to be a regular customer now that our search for a good coffee is over✌💖🙏✊“

“Wow!! Such a hidden gem. Loved the food, the decor, the hospitality, everything. I stay way away from this place, else would have visited often. But surely would come back.
Some places you feel the people are not just after making money, this is one of those places, love the passion put into this place.“

“Me snd my friends love coming here to study! The environment is perfect, especially with dogs around, staff is very friendly, and its so close to the SMC campus“

“Blueberry Pour Over. Awesome Flavor. Best Coffee Until Dutch Bros.. Starbucks Who Suju's What Bye Phils“

“Magic Silicon Valley“

“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!“

“Quick friendly customer service! My iced mocha was bomb!“

“solid espresso drink game from baristas.“

“Loved my birthday dinner tonight! Portions small for the prices in our opinion. A scallops main dish with 3 scallops is small. Drinks were amazing, decor fabulous and great service. My son had to go eat more food afterwards as he was still hungry. Bigger portions would be good. Loved everything else! Great choices, appetizers, main dishes and creative drinks were delicious. Kind of surprised knowing they knew it was my birthday that they didn't offer me a birthday "something" to make it special. For these prices I would expect something.“

“Blueberry Pour Over. Awesome Flavor. Best Coffee Until Dutch Bros.. Starbucks Who Suju's What Bye Phils“

“Quick walking distance from Union city bart! I was greeted by both workers as soon as I walked in! I ordered the iced caramel macchiato and an everything bagel. Great coffee and food for great prices. I am super impressed by the customer service. The seating is also spacious. Sometimes I dont like taking zoom meetings from cafes but this is a good space to do that. You can be spread out from people if you please. Super amazing small business! Go support!“

“Wow I did not know this place was vegan and I have been coming here regularly recently. Mostly for their cheesecakes and chocolate chip cookies. 🍪 🍰 Must order whenever you’re in town. For someone who has quite the nut allergy, this place has a great variety of pastries and sweets. But make sure you still ask because I didn’t know the pumpkin cheese cake had almond crust and it wasn’t labeled.“

“It’s hard to find parking in the shopping center but it’s worth driving around to find a spot. They are friendly and make the best coffee. The ice coffees are my favorite .“

“This is a cafe, not a restaurant, I am not sure why Google is treating it like a restaurant. It is a very nice cafe with great coffee and home made pastries with smoothies and teas, with a very nice atmosphere. Check it out for yourself. Personally, I loved it.“

“went here the other day for lunch (for the 1st time ever). due to a coworker introducing me to your DELICIOUS sandwiches, you are going to see A LOT MORE!!! Thank you very much! and my one and only recommendation, PLEASE COME AND TRY & SUPPORT! This deli is the real deal & so AMAZING & DELICIOUS! Lastly, the family/ customer service is GREAT!! Thank you again! ✌🏽 ❤ 🥪 😋“

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“
