I love this plaaaaaaace!!! Please try this place If I lived closer, I would be coming here everyday. First of all, the ambience is so cute and warm. The vibes are far beyond just immaculate. There's not a whole lot of seating area, but it was empty when we got there, so we just sat and chatted for an hour by their little fireplace thing. The place gives clean cozy mid century modern bar vibes. Minus the alcohol. Service was 100/10 as well. They were so patient with us as we couldn't decide what to order from their delicious selection of drinks. We ended up getting 4 drinks for 3 people because of that My favorite was definitely the golden nectar. It had such warm fall flavors while being light and refreshing. Second favorite was the matcha calamansi. Wasn't sure if the combo would be good, but it was!!! Overall, amazing cafe!!! 10000/10 they also have a little dog that came out to tentatively greet us for a couple minutes haha read more

Date: 9/19/2024 Time: 3:40 PM 64° Sunny Gate 6 Garden opened about two weeks ago. I was next door at the post office delivering a piece of mail. I decided to stop in for a liquid enjoyment. The menu is limited to three refreshers and two matcha beverages. I ordered the after school refresher. Indeed it is refreshing and quite delicious. It consists of calamansi juice topped with butterfly pea tea. Wow! I love it - my school colors, purple and gold. Nice! Customer service is excellent, attentive and friendly. Seating is limited to four highback chairs next to the long counter. I asked an employee whether they will have artwork on the wall. Yes, they will in the future. Artwork definitely will liven up this venue. Ambiance is comfortable and casual. Cost of beverage is $6.04 (excluding a $1.00 tip). Hopefully, they will have more seatings and more selections of beverages and food in the future. read more

I've had Gate 6 Garden twice now. The service is good. The barista was very pleasant both times and knows how to make a good, delicious and aesthetically pleasing drink! I love that they utilize the best equipment to make the drinks. I do wish that the menu was more extensive and that there would be louder music or a tv or so inside the business. I can literally hear my thoughts in there. There is bar top seating and 4 chairs, but it's just not the vibe for me to sit down and relax bc it's TOO quiet (if that makes sense?) Now the drinks. I've tried the following: - After Sunset: SOOOOOO refreshing and aesthetically pleasing. Double win on a hot day! - Matcha Latte: matcha was made the traditional way so A+ for that. A little heavy on the oat milk for mine, but overall, pretty delicious Not sure if there is a bathroom available for customers but will check the next time I go and update my review read more

Looking forward to this opening back up, the drinks we had when they were last open were great.

Stopped by this cute cafe after a stroll along the crab cove area. Tried the matcha calamansi and choco banana. The matcha calamansi was very refreshing, and the choco banana wasn't too sweet - it was a nice blend and the banana wasn't too overpowering. The service was very friendly and the owner (I think) came by to check in on the drinks were going for us. The space is well decorated with cute furniture. They are dog friendly which is awesome since many cafes aren't. Would come again! read more

A friend recommended this spot and it's so delicious! I ordered the Matcha Calamansi. Delicious and super refreshing. It's literally pure matcha poured over calamansi juice. Not too sweet either. Super quick service. Drinks are made to order, so it was roughly about a 5 min wait. There were a couple folks ahead of us. Highly recommended! If I'm in the area again, I will definitely stop by again to try their other drinks on the menu. read more

A fantastic addition to Webster. We can't wait to come back and see what they add to their menu. We got the Sampalok with the calamansi juice on a cold evening stroll last week and it was somehow refreshing like a cold drink on a summer day. We also got their coffee biscoff drink that we finished in a few minutes. So good! read more

This place is very aesthetic and the coffee hits hard. I got a matcha latte -- it was a mild sweetness with a strong uji matcha flavor. My girl got a hot Biscoff latte, which was perfect for the rainy weather that day. Shout out to Earvin for making our drinks with precision and passion, please support him and his team in Alameda! You won't regret their specialty coffees. read more

Had the chance to go to their menu tasting back in December for their Filipino/Latin-inspired shop that will be opening in Alameda (TBD on opening date but sounds like currently doing popups only for now)! . Gate 6 Garden has a very earthy and cozy vibe with a great menu that (so far) has a wide range of drinks etc that make you reminisce a childhood in Filipino/Latin culture. Out of the fruity ones during the menu tasting, they all tasted unique to me but the Mango Hibiscus Yakult was my fave with all the fresh mango in it. The Ceremonial Matcha by itself had no bitterness to it, and the owners sorted through many kinds to find the best one to use for their shop. read more

I got a matcha latte and they asked if I wanted honey in it and I said no since I wanted no sugar. The matcha isn't that strong in my opinion. I overheard the staff telling another customer that the matcha is from Japan. The staff are really nice and friendly. There's some seating but I also overheard they are working on expanding the other part of the cafe to have more seating. read more

We love late night anything, so of course we came here to try a couple coffees after 10pm. Dalgona Dream - ohmahgoodness, what in the world amazing. The cookie/biscuit thing they serve with it melts in your mouth with the taste of burnt marshmallow and texture of crunchy fluffiness (I hope that made sense LoL), I nearly died from how delicious it was. Dulce de Leche - flavorful, thick and creamy *drool*. I can't even decide which I like best out of the two. Service was warm and very welcoming, we are definitely coming back. I don't think I can have coffee anywhere else after coming here. Ambiance was chill, dim (we went after 10pm), perfect for late night conversation or having coffee with a good book. Looks like a great place for afternoon chill time as well. Looking forward to enjoying more coffees here! read more

I love this place - my new go to spot for drinks and studying!! Discovered this place through Yelp & was initially captivated by their drinks & ambience. As soon as I set foot in this place, they exceeded all expectations. Customer service was amazing, they were so accommodating & patient with my order (since it was my first time there, I was having trouble deciding on what to order). I ended up ordering the Matcha Calamansi, & oh boy - it was so delicious & refreshing! Highly recommend. I look forward to coming back & trying out the rest of their menu :) Truly a hidden gem! read more

Gate 6 Garden - Great ambience & drinks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Stumbled upon this place on a whim and glad we did! We ordered the matcha latte and it was so good -- this is coming from someone who doesn't love matcha but I am now a fan and will continue to come back here to try the rest of their menu. The worker was really friendly and told us that they've been open for about 3 weeks and still in the process of furnishing the place but I think it's already cozy and in a great location. He said the most popular a favorite drink is "The Afterschool" which I need to try next time. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a nice refresher or a matcha latte! read more

Oh my God. Just found this place on UberEats. How have I never seen this place before. We're visiting from Socal and wanted something to drink that wasn't Coffee or Tea. We were not disappointed. The "Golden Nectar" drink has sugar cane in it and is unbelievably good. The After School" butterfly drink has got the right amount of citrus and sweet. My new favorite spot in Alameda when we come to visit. read more

I had the incredible opportunity to attend Gate 6's exclusive menu tasting, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Beyond their fascinating story and the vision of Gate 6, what truly sets Gate 6 apart is their enchanting drink creations. Their specialties span from expertly crafted coffee drinks to refreshing teas and revitalizing refreshers. The After School refresher stood out to me not only for its vibrant, eye-catching colors, but also for its incredibly refreshing taste. The blue is from butterfly pea tea and mixed with tamarind and honey, it creates a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing concoction. My other personal favorite would have to be the matcha latte, topped with their house-made dalgona crumbs--another absolute delight to my taste buds! I wouldn't say I'm a big matcha snob, but after trying different kinds of matcha, I could tell the quality was really good and confirmed with the owner that it was ceremonial grade. By taste, everything seems to be made with top tier quality. However, I believe the dalgona crumbs might have been a limited-time or seasonal offering. Be sure to stick around in the case they bring these back, along with the other magical creations they'll be coming out with. I'm thrilled to watch Gate 6's brand grow, and I'm so excited for the next pops ups. Be on the look out for them! I truly mean it when I say, 'Run, don't walk,' to try their drinks--you won't regret it! :) read more
