Cozy little spot with everything you need in terms of coffee, tea, and food options. Plus, it's not a big chain, so no corporate greed stuff. That's my bias anyway. Lovely breakfast sandwich, tasted like home made and I watched it being made fresh. Friendly lady behind the counter, patiently waiting while I was half asleep and trying to make sense of what I wanted. Free WiFi available as well. read more

We were looking for a local business near OAK and this cafe looked pretty good from the reviews. Well, our experience not so much. Flat bagel with cream cheese is not much to talk about. Vietnamese sandwich was just a let down. Veggies are barely picked and not tasty. Did not taste fresh. Chicken pieces were gamey and we were deliberately dropping them out of the sandwich to avoid eating them. For me, 3 stars is a place I would go back if I'm in the area and cannot think of a better place to go. This one is 2.5 for us and so no return visit for us. read more

The service was nice. The sandwiches were good. Unfortunately, they made the wrong flavored smoothie. I would go there again.

Cute cafe in San Leandro and great Vietnamese iced coffee! I'll have to come back another day for some bagels but I was strictly here for just coffee last time. Great quick service! read more

This is a nice, casual Asian-run restaurant with a dog-friendly patio. We came by after taking the dogs for a walk at Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline. I had the egg salad sandwich, which was pretty good. My husband had 1/2 turkey sandwich and chicken won ton soup with a cold matcha latte, which he enjoyed. We shared an order of 2 spring rolls, and they were good-sized. You order the food at the counter, and pick it up yourself when it is ready; they give you an estimate of how long it will be. The employees were helpful and friendly. read more

Cute coffee place. I came with my friend. They have a patio too. I will com back again

I love them. The woman who owns/runs the business is very pleasant. They have a nice selection of breakfast sandwiches and they also do Vietnamese sandwiches. The place itself is cute. It gives you a calm feeling being there, like being in your own cozy home. There is a lot of windows which allows for the natural light to come in. read more

Stopped by this small cafe in the middle of the afternoon for a chai tea. This place wasn't too busy and the drinks were decent. I'll have to come back to try the food. I think the only downside is parking. It's difficult finding parking in the area when it gets very busy, read more

Cute interior with good soup and banh mi, good study space inside, almost like some turned their home into a cafe.

What an absolute GEM! I'm so happy I found this lovely mom and pop shop. FOOD - amazing! They have fresh bread delivered every morning to make their sandwiches. Their sandwiches have a generous amount of meat and veggies in them, and the bread is always toasted right before being served. DELICIOUS. And such an amazing price for the quality of the food! Can't beat that! They also have good lunch deals that include chips and a drink :) SERVICE - fantastic. They are so sweet!!! They pick up all of their phone calls, and will walk with you to make sure they understand your order precisely. Fast, accurate, and efficient. CATERING - I highly recommend catering for bigger parties. They are on time, efficient, and will follow up with you to see how you enjoyed the food. I ordered for 40 people and they separated and labeled each sandwich so it was easy to serve to my guests. LOCATION - convenient and close to walkable areas! Enjoy your sandwich and a drink! I'm so happy I found this awesome place and can't wait to keep coming back! read more

The latte was disgusting... they need to clean their machines. I couldn't even drink it.

Café Sorriso 1501 Washington Ave San Leandro, CA 94577 (510) 351-3605 September 09, 2023. I love having "Me" breakfast time. A break from my dogs and before I start my weekend mornings of errands and to do's. Standard coffee. I ordered egg, ham sandwich everything on its bagel. It was delicious, fairly amount of eggs and ham. I noticed when a couple came in with their kid, she stopped midway of making the sandwich and proceed to take their orders, then proceeded to make their specialty coffees. Granted I saw that my sandwich was 99.9% percent done and all it needed was to pop in the toaster oven. But I guess regular customer gets preferences and priorities. I asked her if there is a time policy regarding customers and working at the café. "Two hours and you must order drink and foods." OK! Like I was just going to go to the café and use their resources and not order anything? One of the coffee carafes was low on coffee and only spurting coffee here and there. The Dark Roasted coffee carafe. I walked back to the counter and let her know, her reply was use the other coffee, she may not make it for another 10 minutes. There were only 3 people in the café, and she could have the time to check it if it still full or empty? And I did not want nor to drink the medium blend coffee. If this is the case, I would take my own coffee next time and just order off the food menu. Even if it's a coffee gas station style, please at least make sure it is clean, fully restock and coffee full. They have a small parking lot but otherwise pay n park. Not a big deal to me. Outside patio seating areas with outdoor heater if needed for those cold fall and winter mornings. Yes! I will come back; I believe in supporting local businesses. They do have an aesthetically pleasing set up. **ADVISE: Treat your customers equally-whether they are your regulars or non. I am still a paying customer and would like to support your local business and recommend it as well. read more

I really like this cafe but there are a few problems 1. its often too hot I wish they would turn on the AC 2. there is a 5 dollar minimum for cards which is not so bad when you make your first purchase but if you just want to buy drinks and stuff later this is kind of pricy 3. the wifi compared to near by caffes is flakey. I love this place and would make it my primary caffe if these issues are fixed I hope they do read more

This is great lunch spot located in the heart of Downtown San Leandro. They have a nice outdoor seating area on the deck although, it can get a bit noisy since it is located in the heart of downtown. No need to pay for metered parking. They have a small parking lot area behind the cafe of you can park at the Safeway across the street for free. Service was friendly and I enjoyed their banh mi and Thai tea. Great place to stop by and grab lunch. read more

Inside was pretty cozy. My friend and I were so hungry after a long hike by the lake and wanted some sandwiches. We ordered 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad combo, the tuna or turkey sandwiches we got were really sad, just small amount of tuna salad or turkey slice, and the salad was literally just lettuce leaves. We wanted some chai tea, but we got chai latte and it's super sweet. But at least they changed out drink later. Maybe I just chose the wrong food. read more

Was craving a breakfast sandwich so decided to come here. I got an egg, ham, and cheese breakfast croissant, and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was great! The woman there was cheerful and pleasant, even though it was half an hour before closing time. The smallish place was quiet, clean and welcoming. I sat out on the patio to enjoy the sun and my food. Bonus: they have free Wi-Fi! Sorry, no pics. read more

Came across this gem looking for a place a coffee shop with WiFi to take my meeting since I wasn't going to make it to my office in time. I already figured Starbucks and Peet's to be loud and probably crowded, so I opted for this spot I knew nothing about hoping it was quieter and had enough space not to piss people off with my talking during my meeting. Got in to ask if WiFi was available after taking a quick glance to scope out the place and check out their menu. *Whew!* Decent WiFi was available and there were only 3 others in the coffee shop with me. Of course, the two guys at the other table would happen to be talking business loudly since the whole place was pretty dead, but it beats having to somehow block out the blending and grinding of coffee beans and yelling of incorrectly pronounced names to pick up their orders and whatnot. The only worker I saw there at the cafe was very nice. I didn't feel pressured to order anything when I asked about WiFi surprisingly, but of course I felt inclined to haha. At a quick glance, I saw a paper posted on the side below the regular menu for a breakfast croissant sandwich combo for $5.50 that came with a 12oz. coffee or your choice of tea. I can't drink coffee so I chose a breakfast tea. Didn't have enough time to look at the menu, plus it seemed like a decent deal. That order didn't disappoint! The croissant sandwich was pretty basic - sliced with a meat (ham?) coldcut and a slice of cheese with an in between over easy/ scrambled egg. I know, it sounds lame, but honestly, it was prepared perfectly. The egg was not overdone, nor was it extremely runny. And the croissant was warmed perfectly! If I didn't have to be in my meeting for an hour, I would've gobbled it up ASAP. The tea was also a nice temperature, and a great pairing with the sandwich. Loved this place. And it's not too far from San Leandro BART. Yay! read more

Food was good but I requested for a chai latte with oatmilk (I always order an oatmilk chai everywhere I go and have never had a problem). The drink overall did not taste right. I requested if they could change it for normal milk or soy, and the lady said I would have to repurchase another drink in order to get a new drink. I was disappointed overall because cafes normally have no problem changing your drink! I've had great experiences with those who have accommodated my requests or if I'm not happy with my drink, can change my drink. But they had told me since they made it already Id need to buy a new one. The chai they have is a simple boxed chai you can grab from Safeway for $4-5, so I just didn't understand why they couldn't have made me a new one. :( Customer service overall was 0/10. read more

Love this place. Breakfast bagels are really good. They season the eggs (many places dont) so it makes it all that more delicious. Friendly staff. Ice white mochas and their coffee is delicious. Customer service is great, just read some reviews that try to besmirch the owners character, but they've been nothing but kind to me and my wife and really accommodating. Sometimes people have no self awareness and make everyone out to be the villain in their story. Thats all to say, try it and judge for yourself. Great food. Great place. Awesome people. read more

I absolutely adore this place! Very mom and pop feel. i love the outside patio area, they were so nice about moving tables to let us sit in the shade when the sun was still covering a lot of the area. i especially love how big the menu is, everything we have tried so far was amazing from the coffee, smoothies, spring rolls, Saigon salad, sandwiches and pastries. The owner was extremely kind and generous to our group, me and my friends are definitely coming back. read more

I came here yesterday when I had a 30 minute lunch break during a long meeting. As long as I've lived on this street, I never tried this place but I've always wondered about it. The outdoor seating is cute and great for a working lunch or break from the every day. I ordered the grilled pork banh mi combo. It came with a drink (I upgraded to Thai iced tea) and chips. Wow. Just wow. This bahn mi was incredible! The bread was fresh and warm, the pork was perfect: not too fatty and super tasty and just enough of it. The veggies were also fresh and provided such a delightful crunch to my sandwich. This seriously is one of the banh mi sandwiches I've ever had and I'm just mind blown that all these years I never knew this existed within walking distance of me. The Thai iced tea was also exceptional: it wasn't too sweet which I'm always grateful for. Just a nice balance to hit my Thai iced tea preferences. I will be back again! read more

Great place for a cheap yummy breakfast! I ordered the croissant sandwich breakfast combo. A freshly made croissant sandwich and a small coffee for only $5.30! The sandwich was delicious. The coffee was lukewarm, but can't complain. Lots of small tables inside for seating. There's a small parking lot to the side. Located in downtown San Leandro. It wasn't very busy when I visited on a Sunday at 10am. Service was friendly. You can just leave your dirty dishes on the table, as they clean up after you. I would definitely be back if I'm ever in need of a quick breakfast! read more

Cafe Sorriso is pretty cute, looks and feels like a house that was converted into a restaurant. When we walked in, we were greeted by a fireplace, and the rooms felt like they all were once living rooms in a modest house. Banh mi is okay. I had the pork combo one. It was room temperature. It was better than a normal Western sandwich, but fell beneath my expectations for a great banh mi sandwich. At least when I go to Chinatown, the banh mi is hot and crispy, freshly heated, for a fraction of the price here. Their Thai iced tea is very delicious though! Sweet, but with just the right amount of bitterness from the coffee. read more

The owner is rude and Hoovers if you're waiting for a date. This woman has seen me many times. I don't loiter. I always buy something. She's not very accommodating either. Wouldn't give a cup of water when something else was ordered instead insisted on bottled to charge more. She's greedy and impersonal. Wouldn't let my five year old daughter use the restroom once the only time asked when she was heading home from school. read more

Quick Summary: - Beautiful interior - Lots of space inside and outside the cafe - Close to the BART station - A high variety of snacks, savory dishes, coffees, and also boba drinks An adorable cafe with really good coffee drinks. I ordered a latte and also got myself a plate of marbled sweet bread. As I was thinking on what to drink, I noticed there was a long list of different dishes. I only visited here once, but when I was craving for a good coffee place, and this place delivered it. I loved the coffee taste. The taste was so good; not bitter or sour at all!. The second surprise was that the milk for the latte was really creamy and frothy! It made the coffee even creamier. And one last thing, a warning for some, a pure glee for some, the coffee is extremely hot, so be a little cautious when you take a sip. read more

I was in the mood for a smoothie and saw that Cafe Sorriso was about a block away from where I was and decided to come by and check this place out. This is a Vietnamese-American fusion cafe with your basic breakfast bagel and pastry options as well as your more traditional Vietnamese options like banh mi sandwiches. They also had an assortment of coffees and smoothies to choose from. For the latter, you can add on additional toppings like boba and jelly. I decided to go with a basic mango smoothie and it came out delicious! The mango tasted fresh and all they put in it is ice and milk - pure and delicious, it was the perfect drink to have on a sunny afternoon. Just keep in mind that you need to spend at least $5 in order to use card here so it might be handy to have some cash on your person if you just want a cup of coffee. read more

Came with my mom and sister plus our two babies. The standard sandwiches are offered but they also have a Vietnamese sandwich option (3 varieties). I ordered the soup of the day with a half sandwich. The soup was a tasty chicken broth based wonton soup; the dumpling filling tasted like ground chicken and possibly shrimp. My mom ordered the grilled chicken banh mi sandwich. My sister ordered a turkey cranberry. We came after breakfast was stopped being served (11:30am) so my niece had another soup and my son had another half a sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised at the drinks we had. Mom had a fresh squeezed orange juice which was pretty good and not too sour. I ordered a watermelon icy with actual fresh watermelon and green apple jelly. My drink looked odd at first but it was amazing, highly recommend the fresh fruit drinks! Parking at this place can be brutal with so many shops around the parking can be hit or miss so don't be afraid to walk a little! Try the Safeway parking lot or the one in the Pelton Plaza. read more
