    Strawberry Matcha
    Patricia M.

    Super friendly & fast service and answered all my questions. I've been on this strawberry matcha kick lately and found this place nearby my house. Not an actual restaurant but still great quality.

    Crispy Pork Belly with Rice Vermicelli Sheets
    Steve D.

    "Bao Bao Kitchen" is a home-based kitchen operating in East Oakland, that serves Vietnamese foods and specialities. I first learned about this place on Doordash, and then read the great reviews on Yelp. All the stellar reviews talked about the great food, but nothing about the actual restaurant. The Doordash pickup address pointed to a residential area in East Oakland. So I placed an order on Doordash (for delivery) to see if the food was legit. My first order was "Crispy Pork Belly w/ Rice Sheets," and " 4-pc Eggrolls." OMG, the Eggrolls were absolutely delicious. I could eat a dozen Eggrolls or more! All the foods and ingredients are super fresh. I was super impressed by the freshness of the crispy pork belly. The meat was juicy and moist. The skin was crispy and crunchy. The food came in nice looking packaging with scan QR codes for direct ordering. Later I received an email from Bao Bao Kitchen thanking me for my order, and hoped I would order again soon. I asked where or what this restaurant is, and the reply was that she was a home chef. So on a rainy Saturday, I decided to solve this mystery. I used the QR code to order directly from the restaurant and go pickup my order. You place an order, pay, and then select a pickup time. I used Zelle to pay, and I received the pickup address. The online menu is different than Doordash. The prices are a bit lower, and you can order larger amounts and party trays. I ordered: (Total $35, no tax) - Garlic Noodles w/ Shrimp, $16 - Shrimp Spring Rolls, 2 x $2.00 ea - Eggrolls, 10 x $1.50 ea - Pork Skewers- Sold Out, so add more egg rolls How was the food? - Garlic Noodles w/ Shrimp, Grade (4/5): Lots of garlicky noodles, but shrimp were a bit too salty. Enough for two servings, not very big for $16. - Eggrolls, Grade (5/5), I love the eggrolls. Crispy and fresh. - Shrimp Spring Rolls, Grade (3/5) They looked great, but I didn't like the flavor. They're salad rolls with shrimp, served with peanut sauce and crushed peanuts. The minty taste made me feel sick. Service, Grade (5/5): arrived early at the address given, called the phone number, and a friendly young lady came out with my order. Later received a thank you email, and copy of the final receipt. Would I order again? Yes

    Shrimp Spring Rolls!

    Oh my goodness, if there was ever a literal gem hidden in the wall, this is it! You text the number to see the menu, make your order, pay and then pick up the food from a really nice woman. The result is some fresh, homemade authentic Vietnamese food at a very reasonable price! The crispy shrimp&pork eggrolls come with some sweet and sour sauce. This was ok, i like the crunch! Springrolls are filled with beansprouts, mint, lettuce snd vermicelli with 3 shrimp. super fresh - the peanut sauce they come with is delicious! Their garlic noodles have such an intense aroma and flavor Banh Mis are $7.50 each and filled with everything you want: a crispy, fresh french baguette; pickled vegetables, sauces and I love the smokiness of the grilled meat. 100% recommend you get these! My favorite was definitely the crispy pork belly banh mi! That crispy skin and tender meat is too good. Definitely will coming back here again!

    Shrimp Spring Rolls

    Sooo good ! I had been craving these and decided to look for somewhere new. They are home based so make sure to call or text the number when you arrive. The fish sauce was hella bomb !

    First of all, they're VERY well priced. I door dashed my food from here. Everything came warm and still edible. I love that they gave the option to put the ice on the side for my delivered viet coffee. The bread for the bahn mi was soft. I got the grilled pork all the ratios were fantastic! The egg rolls were great as well as the spring rolls! They give enough sauce also they're not greedy with the sauce. (Sorry I started eating before I took the photos obviously) LOL. BUT IT WAS SOOO GOOD AND SO REASONABLY PRICED

I came in around 8:30, a few tables outside had people drinking their coffees and eating breakfast. When I walked in, only one guy was waiting for his order. There was only one person working. The service was not good. I stood at the order counter for 5 minutes, I looked at the lady, she looked at me, and didn't offer a high I'll be right with you. I understand she was the only one preparing coffee and food. I'm not trying to complain about the wait, but the lack of acknowledging a customer to say it will take some time. I finally ordered an iced latte. I do think they have some creative drinks, but I know they are usually too sweet and I just opt for a plain iced latte instead. It was an ok latte, nothing amazing. They have a bulletin board for people to post their flyers or business cards. There was a card on the board that said A.W.A.R - All woke are retards. I'm sure that's not the view of the establishment. I do think they need to screen the board from time to time.

    Beautiful place! Everyone is so sweet, it didn't even bother me there's no WiFi from 8AM -2PM LOL…read more I initially came here to do some work (and need WiFi for my training videos), but I was still able to do work without WiFi. It's also a nice place to bring your dog if you're trying to socialize the little by little (my dog stayed in a stroller). If you want a chill place to catch up with people, read in a beautiful setting , enjoy some good (a little expensive) food. 8/10 caprese sandwich. They use heirloom tomatoes and a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. Comes with a salad that pairs nicely with the sandwich. 7/10 lavender mint latte. Not bad at all. The lavender is strong and the mint enhances it. I don't know if it's the almond milk, but it did taste watered down. I would definitely come back again, but with a book :)

Usually there's a small line out the door and that has remained unchanged for this visit as well. They have a small space and tables for small parties both inside the cafe and along their front sidewalk. Their menu selection is wide, offering a variety of lattes, coffees, and teas, but also both pastries and small meals as well. It's no wonder why they're always popping around this time of day. Although I haven't tried many of their drinks, I can say that their matcha latte has been consistently good. Today I ordered one with almond milk and the matcha flavor is nicely balanced. Good ratio between matcha and milk. The matcha itself tastes pretty well rounded - not bitter, but also not too subtle in flavor. I probably got the matcha here like three times and it has not failed me yet. My partner really enjoys the Malasada but they can sell out pretty quickly. Previously I've tried their Ube Crinkle and their donuts and they were pretty good as well. This time, I wanted something a little less sweet and small so I tried the Bibingka which was great! I love mochi and the Bibingka had a mochi texture to it. It comes with some pineapple bits which I tend to avoid, but my desire to try something new overrode that today and thankfully, the bits were small. It's a dense little bite, but I enjoyed it! A perfect little bike treat. I don't get much interaction here with the workers since it's such a quick stop, but it's okay. I think depending on what time you go, it just gets really busy and employees are just trying to chug out the orders. We'll be back again for those delicious drinks and pastries though!
