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.

This place is somehow simultaneously chill, cozy, and hip. I love being there.

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.

No names with orders makes for chaos when two people have ordered the same thing

I used to frequent this place in the late 90's. I am told that is has changed hands a couple times, but the atmosphere has not. If possible, it it's even better than before. Comfortable, welcoming, smelling of fresh brewed coffee. Warm atmosphere, lots of nice customers, books and games, and Wi-Fi friendly. Over the past two decades I have often wondered how they had fared. On this trip to California, I finally made it back. It was all I could have hoped for. I am happy to report that all is good, especially the coffee!

Really good food/seasonal latte's and drinks. Food is predominantly breakfast fare. It does not have a child friendly environment, which is my only complaint. It seems like it's a place where people mostly go to work remotely. The staff is friendly and open to kids, and there are books and drawing materials for them to play with. Just bare in mind that you might get mean-mugged by the regulars.

Warm and lovely place! Best coffee shop in town I would say. They have food choices as well which are also good! Especially their reuben. Check it out! Staff are very friendly too.

Maple chai was yummy and incredibly sweet. Prices are higher than we were expecting.

Pretty good coffee shop, plenty of choices in coffee and food. Plenty of seating area with wifi and outlets. Parking isn't too painful to find around the block

I really enjoy this place and it’s a nice environment to do work in. I love the taro latte and you can get it hot or iced; I’ve gotten the avocado toast a few times and it’s so fresh and wholesome. The club sandwich is great too!

Friendly staff, had the west side smoothie and carrot cake... tasty and fresh, not overly sweet like most carrot cakes... parking is a premium....

Great spot for good coffee, solid wifi, and a fantastic matcha latte! A ton of tables and outlets make this place one of the best options to work/study in Alameda.
