    Yummy and hits the spot! Chocolate filled was too sweet for me. Prefer the plain. But I'm not a huge sweets person. Kind service and hope there's more business this summer!

    Filled churros with caramel and chocolate
    Odalis G.

    If you're looking for the best filled churros in Oakland, this is it! We've been coming here for years and always get ours filled with caramel and chocolate--fresh, warm, and perfect every time. Other spots don't compare. ($3 regular / $4 filled)

    Small food stand across the street from the bart and many outdoor tables to sit and eat. My friend was craving churros so I went with her and we shared the following: -Original churro: Good for satisfying a little sweet tooth. Not too sweet. A little chew to it, but in a good and satisfying way. Can't go wrong! -Vanilla churro: Favorite! It was creamy, and even though it looks like it would be sweetness overload it wasn't too sweet at all! Like a vanilla pudding stuffed into a churro. Can't go wrong. -Strawberry churro: We thought this was going to be cream based, similar to the vanilla churro, but it was jelly based (no cream). I thought it was pretty good, but my friend sensed a bit of bitterness to it (I didn't taste it) so I finished it! My friend's craving was satisfied and she thought it was better than a lot of overpriced churros she's had elsewhere! Very quiet (only one couple who was finishing their churros) when we got there around 7pm on a Friday night.

    We visited this food stand on Sunday, for a chocolate filled churro and fried plantains. Street parking was free and easy right across the street in the afternoon. Service was quick and efficient. They accept credit cards for payment, which is convenient. And outdoor seating was plentiful just outside the Fruitvale Public Market in front of the food stand. The churro and plantains tasted freshly made and delicious, satisfying treats to enjoy in a casual and carefree atmosphere.

    There's a sign on the back of the Churros Mexicanos cart that says "Los mejores churros rellenos" (The best filled churros), and the tagline is 100% true! I've been coming here for a while, and the churros are always fresh, hot, delicious, and consistent. They offer both regular churros and churros rellenos--filled with vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or caramel. They're all great, but my favorites are the chocolate-filled churro and the classic unfilled one. They also serve plátanos, but to be honest, I've never tried them because I love the churros too much. I always tell myself I'll give them a shot next time, but the smell of those freshly fried churros gets me every time. The cart is conveniently located near the Fruitvale BART station, with easy parking. The woman who works there is incredibly kind and always so sweet. No matter how busy it gets, she greets everyone with a smile, making the experience even better. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit.

    Churros Mexicanos - Fruitvale Public Market, Oakland, CA Rating: 10 out of 10 This little cart is a whole vibe. Tucked inside the Fruitvale Public Market, Churros Mexicanos always has a line when I show up and another one when I leave--and honestly, I get it. I ordered four plain churros and four churros rellenos in vanilla, fresca, caramelo, and chocolate. Everything was made fresh on the spot. They were steaming hot, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and hit with the perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar. The flavors didn't taste processed or overly sweet. Just comforting and real, like a bite of childhood. My son loves this place too. He always gives it a 10 out of 10. This time, I agree. If you're in Oakland and want something sweet that feels like home, this is it. A true Oakland gem. I'll definitely be back.

    Our church catered their churro truck. They were efficient and fast and kept the line moving. Churros were so good. Crispy on the outside. Good and balanced texture on the inside. I got the caramel filling, expecting it to be very sweet. It was perrrrfect! This is probably one of the best churros I've ever had.

    Hot, crispy, and delicious. Quick and friendly service. The churro had a great flavor, clean oil, nice dusting of cinnamon sugar on top. Crispy on the outside with a soft interior. Perfect $3 dessert.

    Churros: Im a churros lover and this was FRESH!! They literally fry it right in front of you. And its so cheap! I'd be careful though, its piping hot . But it cools down surprisingly fast. But genuinely is really hot and I bit a few right when they gave it to me and had to toss it like a potato around my mouth to avoid burns. Delicious churros, crunchy and sweet, I'd come back for more. That was just the regular, imagine the other flavors! Extra In a pretty nice Mexican community They accept debit, I gave them my card and they did the paying thing for me. Wait time is fast obv 5/5 churros

    Vanilla and caramel
    Ashley C.

    Hot and fresh churros with many filling options -strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. Each was only $3 and they accept cash and card. This was a sweet treat and would love to get back, definitely check this our as it's made to order and fresh!

    Plantanos
    N M.

    We had the plain churro, hot and smothered with cinnamon sugar. It was perfect - proper crunchy exterior, good balance of savory and sweet, and full of texture and flavor. The woman behind the counter is highly competent and very nice. The plantanos was by far the most delicious though! It was served perfectly caramelized and drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. Food of the gods! Warning: be careful not to burn your tongue! Everything is *very* fresh from the fryer!

    $4 each for the filled ones
    Brianna R.

    Flavor wise, always excellent. With inflation though, the prices keep rising and the churros are getting smaller for sure. I've been coming since I was a kid and was shocked at the size this last time. Still love this place though. There are other carts as well nearby, but I like this place. They take cash & card.

    She was very friendly, full of smiles and efficient!

    Made to order, flavorful, a large portion of what became my favorite churros spot in Oakland (no more waiting to enjoy them in Lathrop). I purchased 3 total-caramel and strawberry flavors- whew wee they were so fresh and hot! The parking can be a challenge up close, , but there is plenty in the area, and I'd park around the corner to enjoy this spot! My service was excellent! I'll be back and I'll return!!

    SO GOOD. Loved all the flavors I tried (minus the Cookie Milk & Cookies--for some reason I wasn't a…read morefan). Every ice cream, including the vegan options, was so creamy and soft. Highly recommend the Pandan Hojicha (not too sweet--very rich in tea flavor), Ube Flan (sweet and ube-y with milky flan swirls), and Banana w/ Dulce de Leche (fresh and sweet banana flavor with caramel). They do charge $1 for any kind of cone FYI Will defo be returning!! Especially to try Breakfast Brownie & Cantaloupe (both were sold out when we went).

The moment you walk into the shop, you'll notice the current flavor offerings displayed on colorful ice cream-shaped signs across the wall to the right. I could spend an eternity studying each flavor, but there's limited space to queue indoors so really gotta decide on a flavor and serving style fast in order to keep the line moving. Among the flavors were some classics, fruity/floral mixes, and dessert-inspired ones too, a whole range so there's something for everyone. I got the Breakfast Brownie and it was unforgettable! It tasted creamy and delightful without being overwhelming, while the cornflakes mixed inside added a satisfying crunch to each bite. I came back a second time before a show at Crybaby, a smaller venue across the street. Grabbing a scoop here to-go has naturally become part of my pre-concert routine at this point and I plan to come back again next time to explore more flavors. If you're ever heading to a show nearby, I'd definitely recommend stopping by beforehand for a lil energy boost and treat.

When you go inside all the cheesecake and cookies, Peach cobbler just makes you feel so at home and feel good. Place was operating well, seem like a great business. The food taste as if it's made with Love.

    I've heard many things about Gregory's Gourmet Desserts but tried it today for the first time…read more Parking was a challenge, with the location being nestled within downtown, closer to Lake Merritt. I was surprised that no one spoke of business specifics in their reviews. There is a limit to how many can come in; and you are not allowed to touch anything when inside. There are also no prices listed anywhere. We thought this was odd. Our order: * Personal Peach Cobbler * Walnut Brownie * Banana Pudding For these 3 items, our total was over $25. The service was friendly but a bit awkward. You are only able to see cases of dessert options, it is more of a pick-up point, not so much a bakery location you can browse. I wouldn't suggest coming as a large group, there is no where to sit to enjoy your baked goods and parking is very difficult. While the cobbler and banana pudding were good, I wasn't a fan of the brownie. My partner enjoyed the cobbler a lot, but when we did the calculations, the prices were astronomical. I'm not sure what gourmet difference the items contained, but we likely would not come back to this bakery considering prices and parking. The location is cute, in theory, but with no actual location or displays, or price lists- what you pay for doesn't balance out. The lack of transparency for prices was very sus to us. I'm sure the business will continue on especially with how much they charged. I can't imagine the bakery location and building rent costing a lot as far as operating costs; as it is small, and not expansive at all. The price of the baked goods doesn't even go towards branded packaging. Which could be understandable. The only beverages available that I seen was Nesquik. Steep prices with no justification - especially when you have other bakeries in the area, in addition to Nation's for Pies, very affordable and classic as well. E&J's has a great banana pudding and cobbler as well for $6- they are also a Black-owned business and family operated. Absolutely no bad intent, just wanting to share transparency in my review so Yelpers know that prices are not listed, which means they are subject to fluctuation- in this economy that is not a fair way of doing business. One star per item we liked, for this review. As much signage is visible upon entry regarding rules and limited persons for entry at a time- not one area provided prices; only signs that tell you not to touch. It's required by law for prices at every establishment to be listed, according to SB 478 for general consumer goods and services in California.

I've been lucky enough to try four of their flavors, and each one showcases their signature silky texture and deep flavor. All are not too sweet! My personal favorite is the Kyoto Matcha - the matcha is high-quality, with a vivid green color and rich flavor that balances beautifully with the creamy cheesecake base. The Original is a classic for a reason with deeply caramelized top and creamy interior. I also tried the Iribancha, a roasted green tea flavor. It's intense, smoky, and unique..maybe not one I could finish in one sitting, but definitely memorable and recommend for those who want that earthy/smoky taste. The truffle was also a standout, adding just enough umami to round out the sweetness. Preorders drop via Instagram (@basukucheesecakes) and sell out lightning-fast. Otherwise, plan to line up for slices! Wishing Basuku all the best on their next chapter. Fingers crossed for a return to the Bay someday! Until then, don't miss your chance to try what might be the best cheesecake you've ever had.

    I won a Bad Walters gift card in a white elephant exchange. I was initially fighting for artisanal…read moreolive oil but decided to let my uncles have it. They own an apartment in Paris and I didn't want to offend them with my usual guerrilla tactics. I'm known to fight dirty and conspire with others during this game and everybody hates me because of it, and I didn't want to be banned from their apartment, as Paris in the fall is lovely. Thus my journey with Walter began. One thing about me, is I respect a place that knows flavors. I don't want basic vanilla, give me some weird and strange and flavorful that will tantalize my palette and ignite my senses. Give me salty and sweet. Give me TANG. Give me these things and DONT give me gas. Bad Walters cracked the code. All flavor, real dairy, no lactose, no gas. Each week they have a different batch of flavors, so there's always something new to explore. There's like 6 flavors to choose from at once and they let me try them all before I selected my choice hehe. I tried to sample 6 flavors at Cold Stone and they took me out back and shot me, but here, nobody was mean to me. Mr. Potatohead is the flavor I landed on--brown sugar custard with peanut butter swirl and chocolate covered potato chips. The chunks of chocolate covered potato chips were lodged in the ice cream and I felt like an archaeologist excavating ancient rocks as my spoon lifted the potato chocolate chunks out of the creamy custard into my mouth. I bought a pint. The Mick Jagger was another joy, with its salty caramel and Oreo chunks. They're lucky Peaches Christ was sold out because I might've lost my mind for a peach cobbler ice cream! They wouldve had to drag me out by the back of my neck like a rabid dog! Maybe next time. All in all, tasty ice cream. Would recommend.

We have been extremely loyal customers ever since. They rotate flavors, but through many months and many visits I don't think I've ever tried a bad one. The flavors are also very fun, not your typical cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc. Although they do have a plain version sometimes. The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces. They also sell points to the side- take advantage. You'll want more when you're done! The ambiance and vibe of bad Walter's is perfect. Bright colors, disco ball dripping, fun sayings on the cups, the whole 9 yards. The take home pint we got has Reddit "hate" comments and their responses, it's hilarious. This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

However this visit has been different. The quality of service has fallen tremendously. Despite the specific but extremely simple instructions of the order, it's rarely followed fully. One day it will be perfect, the next the coffee is barely warm when one has asked for extra hot; or one coffee will be sweetened and the other not at all when the instructions clearly ask for light sweet.

It's not even as if one is asking for anything outside of their ordering menu. We're really dismayed and saddened to see our favorite coffee haunt fall so far from grace. Here is hoping, though, that they will rethink their service attitude.
