This place is yummy! They have good brunch food. Korean fusion. Their coffees are yummy too i like their tiramisu latte & my boyfriend gets their Einspänner. I'm so glad their got bigger cups because their small is tiny & i would finish my drink so quick. The first few times i went their wait used to be long but more recently they seem to be quick. They are also dog friendly they have the outside seating. read more

Dandelion Kaffe - Einspänner & tiramisu latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Came for a Saturday brunch, and it was busy but there was still a decent amount of seating. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter then sit down at a table of your choosing. There were other groups getting lunch, sitting at the bar, and studying/working on their laptops with a drink. I've tried a few drinks here, they have all impressed me. I'd most likely come back for the drinks, not the food. It's a cute spot to work from or hunker down with a book at. Matcha Einspanner (5/5) - Delicious! Lavendar Latte (5/5) - Delicious! Been enjoying lavendar lately, this was lovely. Bulgogi Sandwich (1/5) - I did not enjoy this unfortunately. The bread soaked up the sauce & I am not a fan of wet bread. The sauce coating the bulgogi was not very fitting. It tasted like a thousand island sauce or burger sauce. It was different than what I expected. read more

Hella cute inside! I would come here for the vibes, for sure! They offer a variety of drinks and Korean inspired dishes. It is pricey. Nothing less than $15 for a meal and drinks can easily rack up to $8+. I tried their biscoff latte with oat milk. Light ice. The biscoff was literally just the topping and a cookie on the side. There was no biscoff flavor throughout the latte. The cup was small too. I don't feel like it was worth the price I paid. It's more for the vibes than for the coffee. They did a good job with color theme and decor. It looks like an elevated space. But also maybe that's why it's expensive haha read more

Finally got a chance to try Dandelion Kaffe. This spot used to be known as Preacher's Daughter, which we frequented semi-regularly. Still pretty much the same setup inside, but different menu, and only non-alcoholic bevvies. I went with an iced coffee with oat milk which was good. I also ordered the eggvocado toast - half omelette, half toast with hummus and avocado. Quite tasty, especially with the seasoning, which was some combination of sesame seeds, seaweed, and something else perhaps - very good. Generous portion, good for sharing. Prices are reasonable. Service was good. Would return. read more

Dandelion Kaffe - Eggvocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Cozy weekday brunch gem of a find! What was interesting was this place offered multiple different seatings - table, bar side and outdoors especially for those WFH folks! Dandelion offers Asian type brunch fusion! We had the bulgogi croissant - an interesting way to serve bulgogi on a leafy veg inside a croissant and we had the sauce base served on the side and that baby was filled with meat! The second order was also a shareable plate! Sauce on the side was requested! They also offered so many choices of drinks but since our tab was over $30 we were able to spin their birthday wheel and got ourselves a yummy delicious birthday latte with sprinkles on the foam!!! All in all a good find for the dollar! read more

Service and Staff: - Order at the kiosk or the counter in the back of the restaurant. They will call your name when the food is ready for you to go pick it up in the back Food and Drinks: - Hojicha Latte: delicious. Anytime a place sells a hojicha latte, I'm all over it. It wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated - Bulgogi Egg Sandwich: this was very tasty! Love the Korean and American fusion with this dish. It was also very filling Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via metered street parking (free on Sundays or weekdays after 6pm) - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Good for pairs and smaller groups (might be able to get away with pushing two tables other to fit 6-8). Most tables fit 4 - Lots of food and drink options - Casual ambiance - some people were working and some were brunching read more

I was looking for a coffee shop to do some work and came across this gem. The interior is so cozy and aesthetic with a good number of tables whether you're eating or grinding through some work. It wasn't super loud, just light ambient noise, which made it a perfect spot to get things done. They have food options on the menu but I didn't get to try any, so I'll have to report back on that. You can order through the kiosk up front or walk to the back to order with someone. I was ready to listen for my name but they actually brought it to me, nice touch. The tiramisu latte was good but not extraordinary. I got what I paid for and it definitely gave me the caffeine I was looking for. I'll be back to try other drinks and eventually the food. read more

Super cute cafe/brunch spot! Love the interior and aesthetics, with the green walls, dark wood, and plants. My friends and I came this past Saturday a little before noon. We ordered on the tablet near the front entrance. Some of us wanted our drinks to-go, so we ordered those separately at the register in the back. I ordered the Pesto Egg Toast and an iced Horchata Latte with oat milk, less sweet. The toast was yummy, and the portion was perfect for me. It was enough to make me satisfied. I liked the sunny side up eggs and pesto. The latte was also good. I could really taste the cinnamon in the drink. Even with less sweetness, it was still relatively sweet so I'm glad I adjusted it. read more

Poor experience for coffee on the island. Ordered a Mocha and Tiramisu latte but the mocha tasted like plain milk. Tiramisu latte was decent but cold and too sweet. Very disappointing experience. Will try another place for weekend morning coffee read more

Back and still obsessed with this place! I got the bulgogi croissant this time and... thought it was okay. It was definitely messy to eat and although I could taste the bulgogi I did feel like it was a whole lot of croissant but maybe it was because this was served cover versus hot? Kimchi fried rice did taste like a whole lot of sesame and I wish it was a bit more flavorful. I believe my sister got something with pesto and she thoroughly loved it. Loved my tiramisu latte. read more

Out of all the drinks we tried, I highly recommend the Tiramisu Latte -- I'm still thinking about it to this day. It had the perfect balance of flavor without being overly sweet, while still maintaining a rich, delicious coffee taste. My husband ordered the Honeycomb Latte and really enjoyed it, and my sister got the Biscoff Latte, which she loved as well. We'll definitely be back! read more

Dandelion Kaffe - Honeycomb Latte, Tiramisu Latte, Biscoff Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Date: 12/29/2025 Time: 1:25 PM 57° Sunny My younger sister suggested this restaurant for lunch. It is our first time here and we did not know what to expect. After perusing the menu, I ordered the Pesto Press on ciabatta bread. It included a side salad. My sister ordered the bulgogi croissant. Although the service was a tad slow, it was expected as there were only three employees handling all the patrons who were dining here. My guesstimate was about 15 people indoors and 6 people in the outdoor parklet area. Ambiance is quite comfy and casual. There is a self-serving kiosk near the entrance. The other option is walk to the other end of the restaurant and order food and beverage from the owner/cashier. Two menus are on the counter. One is for the various lattes and hot/cold teas. The other for sandwiches, toasts and bowls. My sister and I enjoyed our lunch. The pesto press consisting with layers of ham, mozzarella cheese, lettuce mix, sliced tomato topped with pesto and balsalmic glaze was absolutely delicious. I am not a coffee drinker, but I was eager to have the tiramisu latte. Other lattes I want to drink are the ube, lavender and the guava matcha. Y'all know what that means - return visits in the future. My sister's bulgogi croissant looked scrumptious. Wow! A crispy buttered croissant with loaded tender bulgogi beef, onions, cucumber, mixed greens and a homemade gochujang sauce was certainly eye candy. (Yummy!) Street parking is slim or none since it is on a main thoroughfare. However, there is a public parking lot across the street between Fire Wings and Sub Par. Public transportation is nearby (AC #30, 31 and 51A). read more

Bright beautiful space to brunch, sip, work and connect. Ordered from the kiosk each time I have been here but I think in the future I will order at the counter to tweak things a bit - I don't like overly saucy, no option for sauce on side. Eats: - bulgogi croissant, satisfying and love the greens - big breakfast plate - all the essentials done well - summer bowl, fresh and bountiful Drink: - matcha cloud latte, w/oat + espresso shot - best matcha on the island and rivals places like Maiko, creamy, matcha forward and just enough sweet to feel like a treat Fantastic curated experience with top notch drinks and service. Love that they use glassware, mugs and plates - so inviting and cozy. read more

The good: a robust drink menu, including a hot matcha guava that might be one of my new favorites in town, cute ambiance for both families and brunching with the girls, friendly service, easy ordering through a kiosk or back counter. The not so good: the food was pretty basic, nothing too special. I liked that they had Korean inspired items, like the bulgogi croissant, and I enjoyed my sweet/savory dish of ricotta and apple toast and hummus, arugula and prosciutto toast. But the sourdough tasted plain and like something I get from a grocery store. My friends all said their food was fine but nothing too special to go out of the way for. I'd return for drinks only. read more

Order: 1 Small Coco Cloud Iced Matcha 1Egg, Cheese, and Jalapeño Croissant Sandwich 1 Coco Muffin Total: $32.45 Visit: Monday, 01/19/26 at 11:00 AM This establishment was The Preacher's Daughter, which I previously loved. The new owner did their thing here, the interior is beautifully decorated--I loved all the plants and framed art throughout the space. They truly transformed the bar area and added an abundance of greenery, making the space very aesthetically pleasing. There is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Parking can be tricky, but there is a parking lot across the street and another around the corner. Overall, the food was great. I enjoyed my sandwich--it was good, though nothing particularly special. I did find the pricing a bit high; however, I didn't mind paying because I love supporting women-owned businesses, and I felt it was worth it. The matcha latte was amazing. I had never tried matcha made with coconut water before, and it was incredibly refreshing, hydrating, and delicious. I also really enjoyed the in-house chocolate muffin. The service was good. You have the option to order at a self-service kiosk or directly at the counter with staff. I ordered my drink at the kiosk and my food at the counter. The staff made sure to inform me that food was taking longer than usual, as the place was quite busy when I arrived around 11:00 AM. Seating was still easy to find. The food did take a while, and while the staff was extremely busy, there was a bit of disorganization when calling out which order belonged to which customer. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would absolutely return to try more drinks and food. read more

I got the honeycomb latte. Heads up - you can order directly at the cafe area at the back. I walked in and was waiting a while because the people in front of me took a long time. Then, I realized you can just order with the staff at that back counter where they make coffee. The honeycomb latte was good. Not too sweet. I like my drinks hotter temperature wise. I did some work there and it was a nice environment. read more

Visited Dandelion Kaffe for the second time after their soft opening and had a delicious brunch. The space was busy but there were plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, a tablet to order, and several staff members to also order from. We went to the back and ordered and was provided some great suggestions by the staff. We ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice, which was so cozy and filling. My partner had a dirty Ube and Bulgogi Croissant and both were yummy. I highly recommend and will be coming back for the wide array of toasts and other dishes and of course the coffees and teas! read more

Our monthly coffee meet-up spot at the Marketplace was busy on our recent get-together and someone in our group suggested we head across the street to Dandelion. It's a newer café in the area and has a good number of tables, a bar counter, two tables out front and an outdoor patio on the side. We ordered at the counter, though afterwards, we noticed a self-order kiosk at the entrance. They have coffees, matchas, teas, sandwiches, bowls, and some pastries in a case. After we placed our orders at the counter, we parked ourselves at the table. When the order was completed, it was brought to our table. I had an Americano and it was good. Nice quaint and quieter atmosphere as opposed to our regular spot. I think Dandelion will be part of our group's coffee meet-up going forward. read more

A nice new addition to the Bay Area cafe scene! A friend and I visited the newly opened Dandelion Kaffe on a whim, looking for a quick caffeine fix after lunch. For starters, the ambiance was great--easily the best part of the entire experience. There were plenty of tables both indoor and outdoor at their patio area in addition to stools at their bar area, although there wasn't anything actually happening behind the bar. What stood out most was the vast amount of natural light that complimented the greenery. It created a lovely relaxed atmosphere fit to sip and hold conversation, or get work done. I ordered their iced Honeycomb Latte, while my friend ordered the standard Iced Matcha Latte. Both came in nice glassware as we opted to sit in. The honeycomb latte was good, crispy bits on top that melted into the drink as time passed to provide a developing flavor without being too sweet. The matcha latte however, was pretty standard. Something reminiscent of what could be made at home, possibly due to the overpowering oat milk or lack of matcha. I can't speak too much of the service as we opted to order from their self order station at the front entrance, but we were greeted with smiles as our drinks were delivered. Overall, I was very pleased. Prices were quite standard, actually a bit cheaper than expected from a new cafe with a vast menu. They also serve food and have other unique drink options that piqued our interest such as the Rose Matcha, Guava Matcha, and Einspänners. Would definitely come back to give them a try. read more

Super cute cafe in Alameda! Loved the vibes inside - beautiful long bar accented by green background and woodsy plants. Really pretty and lots of seating - inside and outside patio! They serve food but we only tried the drinks this visit. We had the strawberry matcha latte, coconut matcha foam and tiramisu latte. All drinks were good - average sized and reasonably priced. Drinks were good and it was nice cafe to hang out or do some work. The patio outside is gigantic and dog friendly. There is a self order kiosk at one entry or in person order deeper into the cafe near the back entrance. Staff was friendly, though I wish they had a better system than screaming out names (disconcerting given the otherwise chill vibe inside). read more

Cute ambiance & spacious outdoor seating. I went on a Tuesday and online said they opened at 10:30am but apparently opened at 10am There were a few people ahead of me in line to order (and the kiosk in front wasn't working) so when I ordered my 1 drink he gave a heads up it would be about 20 minutes. I wasn't in a hurry and sat outside to wait. The drink was really tasty once it came. read more

Hot & new spot, Dandelion Kaffe in Alameda. I believe this location has seen a few different businesses over the last few years ~ the building is so beautiful & location is convenient for metered street parking, I wish Dandelion Kaffe all the best luck in the coming weeks to months. They have a really cool menu and I hope to be back to try a few other of their coffee offerings. I ordered the Dirty Ube (Ube & Espresso Latte) and the B.E.A.T. (Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, Avo, Tomatoes) with spicy mayo and American cheese on choice of sourdough or ciabatta with a side house salad. Other items are sweet and savory toasts, other brekky sandwiches and more hearty lunch sandwiches, and bowls. On my next trip I noticed the Tiramisu Latte, Biscoff Latte, Honeycomb Latte, and Einspänner that all look visually stunning. Food wise I would love to try a bowl or the Gochujang Egg Sandwich next with kimchi..yes please! I think having another option outside of a house salad would be nice ~ I love my greens, but sometimes I just want to go for a carby potato or pop of color with a fruit medley. A lot of potential here & I think they're on the brink of something really special. FYI, you can order at kiosks upon entering or with a live human (hehe) if you keep walking towards the back of the restaurant. Inside/outside seating, WiFi, and changing table :) read more

Dandelion Kaffe opened recently in The Preacher's Daughter's space. The outside Parklet & interior seating is similar. The paintings on the walls have been replaced with potted plants, books on shelves, artifacts, framed pics. Metered parking outside. Free Street parking a few blocks away. Beware of street cleaning days. (tues. & ?) soft music provided via the internet? Greeted courteously, quickly upon entry. After a few questions, I ordered, pay, drink ready in 5ish minutes. Offerings: pastries, cookies, toasts, Asian fusion sandwiches, bowls, coffee, non-coffee. Sips: Biscoff Coffee (6.50) hot -came with a biscoff cookie, nice touch. It fell into covfefe whilst I was taking a pic of drink. Added more sweetness & cookie essence into coffee. -bold covfefe taste re: Counter Culture Coffee. -lst time having this drink. Usually don't sip lattes. This specialty will be an exception. *would have ordered a sandwich if I didn't have a reunion to attend where there's plenty of food. 4.8 stars Worthy! service: Great! Quantity: reasonable for price, Qualtity: Very good. Top grade ingredients. read more

Worst coffee on the island! I ordered a hot mocha and a tiramisu latte, and both tasted like nothing but warm milk with the faintest hint of coffee. It was incredibly bland and honestly one of the most disappointing coffee experiences I've had. We came because of the beautiful ambiance, but great decor can't make up for terrible drinks. Save your money and brew a drip coffee at home-it'll have more flavor than anything served here. read more

Love the bright yet calming atmosphere! Great place to visit in the afternoon on a hot day because they leave the doors open for a nice breeze. They also have an outdoor patio as well. The workers are all lively and sweet. They accidentally gave me the wrong drink but by the time I only took my first sip, they immediately noticed and brought me what I ordered. They let me keep both of the drinks and even gave me a little biscuit on the house. I'll definitely be back to try their other drinks as well! read more

Order at the front and they deliver you your drinks/food. Quick service, aesthetic, cozy vibes.

Sweet Half (thin apple slices with honey drizzle) - not overly sweet but wish apple flavors come through more. Savory Half (Prosciutto ham, balsamic, ricotta cheese, greens) - liked this half more, flavorful (4.7/5) - Fired Bennedict - flavorful but wish the croissant was toasted a little more so flavors stay together more. Felt like they just threw ingredients together (4/5) read more

I'm not from the area but needed a spot for an hour of computer work. Swung by one morning to enjoy an iced vanilla latte. I couldn't find a parking lot so I took a risk with street parking at a broken meter. But I suppose this is standard for parking in Alameda. There's a self serve kiosk, but you can also order at the register deep in into the store. Plenty of tables. Strikes me as a popular weekend morning spot too. Probably not the quietest place to get work done. read more

came by for a quick late afternoon caffeine stop. we parked across the street and walked over. inside was super cute, and the vibes were great! We used the self ordering kiosk which is located right when you enter. We ended up getting matcha latte with almond milk and a vanilla latte with oak milk. Both drinks were okay. I think the vanilla latte was a bit better than the matcha. Matcha was a bit sweet and left a sweet after taste in my mouth. I wasn't the biggest fan of it. The vanilla latte could be a bit stronger, but it was still decent. Overall, I would come back to try other drinks and try the food as well! The food looked delicious, but we weren't looking for food this visit. It also seemed to be a great place to study at! read more

I found this cafe while walking down Park Street in the rain, and it was such a lucky find. I'm more of a fan of sweet coffee over bitter, and their honeycomb latte-which I've tried both iced and hot-hits the spot. The honeycomb adds just the right amount of sweetness, and I'll be coming back for it whenever I'm in town. The interior is super cute with plenty of seating, though it's mostly high top tables with a few regular ones mixed in. It seems like a great workspace; I saw two people on laptops, so I assume they have Wifi, but you might want to call and double-check. The only downside is that it's street parking only. You can usually find a spot in the nearby residential neighborhoods to avoid fees, but just make sure to read signs and be respectful of the neighbors. Alameda is such a cute town, and this is a great place to stop and get some work done. read more
