    Banana Oreo
    Simon L.

    Cookiebar is such a fun ice cream spot because the flavors feel way more creative than your average shop. I love that they lean into unique options like durian and banana Oreo, and the whole menu has that same playful, unexpected vibe with flavors like Thai iced tea, jasmine milk tea, dan tat, and matcha Oreo.

    Rarely seen flavors - many of them Asian inspired - at this cute local scoop shop. I ordered lychee black tea, Dan Tat (egg tart with flaky crust pieces) and pandan coconut (with coconut shreds). $9 for a double scoop (up to 3 flavors).

    Amazing ice cream and I don't even like ice cream that much so thats saying something. I know what kind of monster doesn't like ice cream. Anyways, their flavors are amazing!! The dan tat blew my mind and is a must get. Their jasmine milk tea was very strong in the best way possible. The mango sticky rice tasted EXACTLY like mango sticky rice. They take their flavoring very seriously, a big pet peeve of mine is getting asian flavored things that taste nothing like what they are suppose to taste like or are too mild in flavor. Not here the banana oreo tasted intensely like banana in the best way possible. They have a sign that says free samples, which is very thoughtful, its nice to be able to sample all of the interesting flavors before committing. Def a favorite!

    Overview: A gem in small town Alameda, unique ice cream with a focus on Asian flavors, a nice treat on Webster Street ---- Single Scoop ($6.50) - can choose 2 flavors! - I got Dan Tat (egg tart) and Durian - I really liked the Dan Tat bc I've never had it before - nice durian flavor, tastes like the ones in-stores - I chose the sugar cone (free of charge) and they also gave me a cup and a spoon so that it is easier to eat - cake cones and gluten-free sugar cones are also available ---- Notes: - service was friendly, the worker was sweet :) - gluten-free options, but no vegan options - able to try different flavors to see if you like it before you buy it - parking is a bit difficult, park in the residential areas then walk over - outside seating only - cute little shop, green themed color scheme ---- Overall: Glad to have found this local ice cream shop, reminds me how much I love Alameda for it's small businesses. Unique flavors and a must try once if you are in the area, can't wait to come back

    A very unique ice cream shop in Alameda focusing on Asian flavors! I was grabbing dinner nearby with friends, and we decided to pop by Cookiebar for some ice cream afterwards. Parking is all street parking, but it was easy to find half a block away. When we came Friday night around 8:30 pm, it wasn't crowded at all and we were able to order quickly. There were so many flavors that looked interesting, like lychee black tea or pandan coconut, but I didn't want to ask for samples of everything so I limited myself. I did sample the dan tat (egg tart) flavor because I was super curious about it. It tasted very similar to the custard filling of an egg tart, but I didn't think I'd want a whole scoop of it, so I passed. I ended up getting a single cup with 2 scoops - one of Hong Kong milk tea and one of the mango sticky rice - for $6.50. The HK milk tea flavor tasted spot on, and the mango sticky rice was super mango-y as well. The only thing I didn't like was that the mango sticky rice had some annoyingly large chunks of rice in it. But otherwise both flavors were delicious! There is no indoor seating here, though there are a couple tables outside. It's not a place to sit and slowly chat with friends but rather a place to quickly eat some ice cream and go.

    This was just one of those accidental finds that may not have been so accidental when it came to calorie consumption. Jamie W and I were having tiki libations at Forbidden Island and decided to take a walk over to Webster since we don't venture that much on this side of Alameda. We even played pinball at the Pacific Pinball Museum. All that thumb wrestling with those vintage pinball machines must've made me peckish for ice cream. I managed to finagle Jamie to enter the compact shop, and I was immediately impressed by the Asian twang of some of the flavors like Hong Kong Milk Tea, Durian, and Mango Sticky Rice. I surprised even myself and ordered the $4 Kid's Cup of Rocky Road (photo: https://yelp.to/Mh0fd59F-o). It was quite rich and creamy, so the size worked fine for me. The Asian flavors would be worth a return visit. Good to know there's ice cream beyond Tucker's and Loard's. ICE CREAM - 4 stars...pretty yummy, on the thicker side AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...compact spot with bench seating on the outside SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...nice option for your sweet tooth on Webster RELATED - Exploring Alameda?

    Single (2 flavor choices) of dan tat y pandan coconut l, and cookies n creme y dan tat
    Leslie Q.

    Came to Cookiebar Scoop Shop because their ice cream menu intrigued me and we were in the area. The main flavor that pulled me in was the Dan Tat (egg tart) flavor. Located in Alameda off Lincoln and Webster, Cookiebar Scoop Shop doesn't actually serve cookies as its name might infer. Instead they serve ice cream with Asian and classic flavors. The inside is small, but cute with hints of mint green and classic black and white checkerboard flooring. My sister and I were able to sample a bunch of flavors, and the ones that stood out to us that we ended up ordering were: - Dan Tat (egg tart) - so custardy with bits of flakey pastry - Pandan Coconut - great pandan flavor and the coconut gave good texture - Cookies n Creme - this one was like an intense version of a classic cookies and cream ice cream you'd get at any other ice cream shop. It was creamy delicious, Oreo x1000. The girl who helped us was super nice and helpful too. She explained the intensity of the cookies and creme, which convinced my sister to order it. Overall great flavors, and I would definitely come back! I want to try the Banana Oreo!

    every flavor that we tried was delicious!

    This is one of my friend's favorite ice cream places, so per her recommendation, our group of five came by after lunch on Saturday a little before 4pm (found metered parking across the street). There were only a couple of people in the shop when we arrived, and we took our time looking over their options. They had so many Asian flavors, and I ended up trying a good number of them (durian, dan tat/Chinese egg tart, Hong Kong milk tea, London fog, ube, and pandan coconut). There wasn't a single flavor I didn't enjoy, which made the process of choosing quite difficult HAHA. I finally settled on a single with durian and Hong Kong milk tea. I really appreciated how patient and helpful the lady at the counter was when I was feeling indecisive, so huge shoutout to her for providing great customer service. I would come back more often if I lived in the area, but if you're in the area, I would HIGHLY recommend trying this shop out!!

    Was in the area for the weekend and wanted to grab dessert with my friends after dinner. They suggested this spot for its Asian inspired flavors, especially the Dan Tat. I highly recommend trying it as it actually reminded me of a real egg tart, especially with the chunks of crust mixed in. They also offer other delicious flavors like Mango Sticky Rice, Pandan Coconut, and Matcha Oreo. I already know I'll be stopping by every time I'm in the area again.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon to satisfy my post-lunch sweet tooth craving. I like the variety of flavors, especially those that have an Asian spin to them (I.e. Hong Kong milk tea, dan tat, ube, etc.). My post-lunch sweet tooth craving clearly got the best of me because I took photos inside the shop, but totally blanked as soon as I got my ice cream and didn't take any photos. I ordered a single cup with matcha Oreo and ube. I wish the ube was a little less coconutty (I have found some places make ube treats with a strong coconut taste and some do with no coconut taste). The matcha Oreo was also kind of grainy, which was weird. There were two staff members working. They were nice, but not super engaged with customers from what I saw. I wish they offered a sample to try a flavor when they saw someone struggling to decide between flavors. The shop is small with no seating, so we took advantage of this and walked around the neighborhood with our ice cream. Parking is available via street parking.

    Small shop with no seats inside. Ordering was easy and able to sample the flavors. The Dan tat one was really good! Good custard flavor and not overly sweet, and there are also bits of crust mixed in with the ice cream. They didn't have pandan when I went, or Hong Kong milk tea which were the other flavors I've seen and would like to try.

    a cute little ice cream shop in alameda with fun, unique flavors! i love that the workers are so patient with sampling,, all the flavors sounded so good; it was hard to decide which scoops to do,, i ended up doing a single scoop on the dan tat and the jasmine milk tea. ive never seen dan tat as a flavor before, so i was really excited to try this one. it was a little bit more of a firmer/icier texture than the jasmine mt one, but i enjoyed the eggy custard taste + the little tart fixings! the jasmine mt was soft and so strong in jasmine - it was my favorite of the two. im excited to return when they have their soft serve available!

    I loved that their London Fog actually tasted like earl grey! It is on the sweeter side, though. I sampled some other flavors as well. Delightful! I love that Cookiebar spotlights on Asian flavors. Service was ok. We were the only ones there, but the worker wasn't really friendly nor rude. Just existing and doing her job.

    Do they sell cookies?

    No, at the moment we don't. Our kitchen is too small to accommodate a full kitchen for baking.

    How do I get an contact with the manager for catering?

    Hi do all ice cream here contain eggs as an ingredient? Thanks

    Such a cute experience, British afternoon tea meets Malaysian comfort!…read more I came here recently with my partner for our anniversary and was completely delighted with the experience. Heads up, this place is street parking only so come prepared! I would also recommend making a reservation since it is a smaller space (it was busy when I came!) The menu is pretty straight forward and majority of folks including us ordered a set for $45 each person. It comes with two choices of sandwiches, a scone, an array of sweets, and tea of choice. What makes this place so great too is that they allow you to pick sandwiches that are traditional to English Breakfast or you can go out of your way to pick traditionally Asian flavors. Between my partner and I we ordered: Meat floss sandwich (my favorite but that is because I have an affinity for meat floss), beef jerky (love how it paired with the creamy mayo), kaya jam with butter (a delicious salty sweet blend), and chicken curry (comfort food at best). We both enjoyed the scone with clotted cream and jam, very typical for afternoon tea, and in the dessert tier we got chocolate rocks (fun!), macarons, ube chiffon cake, and a strawberry sago pudding. Heads up everyone in your party gets their own tea set so you can mix and match to share with folks. Btw, they do have square sugar cubes, a nice accent. Overall, I feel like you should try this place at least once! Everything was great including our service!

    Great little spot for a girls date! The ambiance was so cute inside. Small but very cozy feel…read more Service was great, she checked in only when we needed her by ringing the bell. They had an abundance of tea selections to choose from. You can also have milk on the side and sugar cubes are on the table. The food was delicious and had a nice twist of Asian spin on some sandwich selections and desserts. Nice spot to check out if you want a cute date or hang out with friends!

It wasn't overly sweet and still maintained that earthy matcha flavor that many places tend to lose when they jump on the matcha trend. My husband ordered the Vanilla Bean Caramel Latte, also from the seasonal menu, and loved it so much that he said this is now his favorite coffee spot.

The seating is mostly at table tables along the wall walls of window. It was kind of neat to be able to sit and watch people walk by in the traffic as it ebbed and flowed toward the bridge. The early morning was rather quiet outside so it wasn't noisy at all. I had a lovely chai latte, extra spicy. It was perfect after the chilly walk to this little space of warmth. They had a nice selection of pastries, ultimately I chose a danish because I love them. This one did not disappoint. It was tender and flaky and went perfectly dipped in my chai. If ever, we are in the area again, I will definitely pay another visit. It was nice to step into a local place that wasn't a chain. I think the quality of staff and consumable offerings was just so much better than you would find at one of the other places.
