27 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Castro Valley

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.“

“😋 definitely recommend. Get the vegan Potato, the apple and also the beef for sure!! Their espresso is amazing too 😊“

“We visited Ones Cafe and Bakery on a Saturday around midday to try some of their popular pastries, and everything in the display looked straight out of a Paris bakery. The selection is super unique and beautifully made.

The croissants were incredibly flaky and tasted extremely fresh. My boyfriend got the fresh tart (kind of similar to an egg tart), and I got the cinnamon monkey bread. They heated everything up for us, and we shared the salted egg cream latte — absolutely phenomenal. As Asians would say: not too sweet, perfect texture, and very balanced.

We actually loved it so much that we brought a friend back the very next morning. This time we ordered more fresh tarts and tried the orange pineapple kouign-amann, which ended up being my favorite pastry overall. The tarts tasted even better earlier in the morning, probably because they were extra fresh right out of the oven.

For drinks, we got the salted cream latte again and also tried the ube latte. We added espresso to the ube drink since it normally doesn’t come with coffee. It still tasted a little mild for our preference, so next time we’d probably try a different specialty drink instead.

Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype for us. Amazing pastries, thoughtful flavors, and such a cozy weekend treat spot. We honestly can’t wait to come back again (probably every weekend at this rate).“

“Yummy food! Big portions!“

“Good atmosphere and a good beer selection. Great food but can be pricey. Great breakfast Friendly staff. Can get a little noisy in the bar but that's to be expected. Always a good experience.“

“We visited on Valentine's day. which happened to be there one year anniversary. food was delicious! the pasteles were just like eating our families homemade pasteles. I wish I would have ordered more to bring home. I'll be back!“

“I love recommending Always Yours to my couples as a wedding planner! They have great rates, always execute a timely and well-designed delivery, and everyone loves their treats!

If you're looking for a great mini dessert vendor that offers great variety, look no further than Always Yours!“

“Lake Chabot is a great place to walk - shorter walks or even the 9 mile very scenic loop around the Lake starting and ending at the Marina Snack Bar/Cafe. Not much of a place to eat through very limited selection - much much less than a 7-11.“

“Best Yogurt in Town! Very friendly owners!😃“

“Wonderful! Today (5/18/26), at around 4:30-5:00 PM, I was craving a fresh, not too heavy meal to satisfy my lunch cravings while on break. I was recommended this specific nick the Greek from a good friend of mine, as it was local, and was said to have great service and good food. When I entered the store, I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely decorated and clean the store was, along with its upbeat, Greek themed atmosphere. My highlight of this visit was the food and service though, as the two employees at the front taking my order were extremely kind, patient, and were actively engaged in assisting me in ordering my meal. I ordered a beef gyro, which was absolutely delicious, filling, and perfectly satisfied my lunch cravings. I also ordered Greek fries, which came out about 1-3 minutes after my gyro came, and they were just as good, a perfect combination with my gyro. All in all, a great, fast, clean, and delightful experience from this restaurant, props to the workers at the cash register! This visit made my day, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more.“

“You will enjoy this place I sure do.“

“Came here after a long drive and the pho was exactly what I needed, broth was super rich and flavorful. The place is small and kinda casual but the lady working was so sweet and patient while I figured out what to order. Ended up also trying the spring rolls and they were fresh and crunchy, totally worth it. Already planning my next trip back cause im craving that soup again.“

“Love love love their bobas! They are so hot, soft, & fresh. It’s my first time here today & I love their cute shop. Very welcoming, friendly the moment you opened the door. It’s very impressive. I tried the jasmine green milk tea today. It’s a little too strong for me but their bobas won me out. I will definitely comeback!
My new fav is jasmine dream pistachio!“

“World’s Best Pizza! Great place to grab a quick slice. Or order a whole pie with options of four crust styles, (New York, Sicilian, Grandma or Detroit). Then choose from over 25 different combinations of sauce & toppings! Pizza has never been better than this!“

“Came here with a friend and they had such interesting flavors! I got the plum tea with water chestnut boba and it was delicious 😋 My friend and I caught up for hours in the cafe and the owner/workers were so kind and offered us a mochinut! Delicious; so glad this place is nearby. Can't wait to come by again! :)“

“Everybody is just hanging out having a good time! No drama!“

“Real, honest BBQ. I had the 2 meat combo with brisket, ribs, mac & cheese and potato salad. Best BBQ I have had since I was in Austin Texas! The owner was working hard with the rest of his employees and was the one to take my order. He seemed very nice and was helpful. I work within walking distance so I can see myself becoming a regular here. Canyons is an excellent addition to Castro Valley's food scene.“

“Me and my husband are new customers at this pizza place and it’s now our go-to spot.

Food tastes great, store is aesthetically pleasing.

The employee named Shana/Shauna is very kind and helpful. Made the experience very welcoming. Thank you☺️“

“I’ve had chicken and waffles throughout the U.S. and this is the best place that I have had chicken and waffles. Wife loved her French toast and son loved his churro waffle. Definitely recommend this place to everyone. Great food and prompt service!“

“Do yourself a favor and get their chimichurri steak wrap with guacamole. Bursting with flavor and veggies, they made it super quickly and it was still pleasantly warm when I got to my classes. The atmosphere is quirky in a good way- reminds me of classic Berkeley restaurants. Can't wait to try their coffee smoothie.“

“Who would have expected a really good bagel place in Castro Valley? And yet this place consistently impresses. The service is beyond reproach, polite but professional with a smile. The bagels are great: bready, just chewy enough but not so much that it will hurt your jaw, crisp on the outside. Toothsome, would be a good way to describe them. The cream cheese is always fresh and tasty, Overall, for the area, a very good bagel place. PS Try the crepe with whipped cream and Strawberries, yummy!!“
