    Iced Cafe De Olla Latte
    Melissa S.

    Great coffee! Our friends invited us to try this spot out. I like that they have kiosks at the entrance to order. They have a decent amount of space inside to wait for your drink. We tried iced de la olla lattes, super good. You can really taste the spices usually used for de la olla coffee. Can't really comment on the service because there was no human interaction but the drinks. Came out in 5m or under.

    Had mixed reviews so I thought I give it a try. Service was simple. Order through the self kiosk and wait for your order to be called pretty easy and simple. No employee to customer interaction. Inside is pretty small and cozy. I ordered the banana cream iced matcha. The banana cream on top was very good, definitely the star of the drink. The matcha itself could have tasted better. The matcha taste was very plain and simple. I had beater matcha drinks at other cities. Glad I tried it. Overall I give this place a solid 3/5 review.

    Pandan Matcha
    Linda G.

    Love that there's a large variety of matcha and coffee options. Lots of fun drinks too! SL could use more cafe with large matcha menu in my opinion. I tried the panda matcha cream and double matcha a few times but it's wasn't as potent as I would like. However, the cream was delicious and color does look good most of the time. It was good service and I didn't have to wait a long time to get a drink. I'll be back but in moderation.

    Fresa Con Crema Matcha lightly sweetened

    Have been excited to try this place out, saw it on social media a month or two ago. Went in on what I expected (and appeared) to be a slow period, 11am on a Sunday. And no other customers were in the store when I entered. Clean store inside, but small. Doesn't seem to incentivize sit-ins with only one semi-large island table. Anyways now to my negative experience. I placed my order on the kiosk. And waited. And waited. And waited. One by one, Door Dash orders kept getting fulfilled before mine. Eventually even other orders in store after mine kept getting fulfilled. After 20 minutes I finally went up to the counter and asked if my order had been skipped and they admitted it had. For the drink itself, I got a fresa con crema matcha lightly sweetened and I will say it was really really good! The strawberry foam gave the nostalgic taste of a strawberry nesquik. For the drink itself I will give 5 stars. For the POS system where Door Dash (or to-go) orders get incentivized and fulfilled before mine and for the overall sterile, doctors office vibe, 2.5 stars.

    Tiramisu Iced Coffee

    I always give my honest opinion in my reviews, so here's my first-time experience with this drink and cafe. There was no line, the self-checkout was convenient, and my drink was ready in under two minutes! I ordered the tiramisu drink expecting a rich, dessert-like tiramisu flavor, but it tasted more like a regular iced coffee with sweetener and vanilla cream foam. It wasn't bad at all, but I honestly didn't taste much of the tiramisu flavor I was expecting. Overall, good iced coffee, but not really the tiramisu experience I was hoping for.

    I've been holding off writing this review. This replaced the smoothie spot across Itea. This place is overhyped. I was really excited since this isn't their first location and everyone loves it. And ive seen it all over social media So I was so excited when a the location closer opened. I ordered: -banana cream Matcha for $7.75 (size medium) . I didn't love the Matcha here which was disappointing. Not a strong flavor. If a medium was already almost 8 dollars. I couldn't imagine what a large size is. -drop coffee $3.75 - cafe au lait $5.50 Extra $1 for Oat milk Maybe I'm just ordering the wrong drink. Maybe I'll try their specialty coffee, but I also hear that it seems very watered down and not as strong. The place is nice and clean since it's brand new.you order on the tablet. It can get very crowded overwhelming when you don't know what to order. Since it's downtown, you have to pay for parking.

    Entrance. 2 outside tables at end.

    Gold Bean Cafe opened recently in Be Well Juice's vacated space. Definitely a new coat of paint applied. A new logo on back wall. No other new decor seen. Mexican music in background. 2 tables outside. 1 table with 6 chairs inside. Ordering is on 2 kiosks. Menu overhead has no pricing. Just 1 person on duty prepping drinks, food. Ordered on kiosk. Some items marked 15% off. Estimated 20 minutes prep time. Got it in 10 minutes. Offerings: breakfast, lunch, matcha, smoothies, juices, specialty drinks, cold brew, classics, latte, mocha.. Pour over (L.) 4ish medium roast taste. -definitely hot, slightly harsh. Unsure if this was natural taste or was it sitting around. Tastes fresh. -didn't order anything fancier since only 1 person working. 4ish stars. Semi-worthy:YMMV. Quality/Quantity: n/a. Coffee size big *meter parking inside plaza. Free parking on side street a block away.

    I decided to stop by this newly opened coffee shop in San Leandro after seeing several videos about it on social media. At first glance, everything looked incredibly promising. The menu sounded creative and exciting -- Choco Matcha, Cheerios Latte, Strawberry Matcha, smoothies, and even food options. Honestly, it all sounded phenomenal and had me genuinely excited to try it. I ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha, my partner chose the Cheerios Latte, and we decided to split a Chipotle Chicken Panini. Ordering itself was simple, but unfortunately, that's where things started going downhill. For three items, our total came out to over $40 before tip, which immediately felt steep. The payment process was frustrating -- both card scanners were malfunctioning, and the line quickly started backing up as multiple customers struggled to pay. The staff seemed overwhelmed and busy, so we had to keep trying repeatedly until the scanner finally worked. The café itself is also very small, making it difficult to comfortably wait inside or even hear when orders are called. Waiting outside almost feels necessary due to limited space. While waiting, I noticed several customers being told that items they ordered were no longer available or ingredients had already run out. Unfortunately, I ended up in the same situation. I was informed they had run out of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, so my only options were a regular matcha or a different topping. Considering the drink was nearly $10 and clearly marketed for its presentation, this was disappointing -- especially since the shop had only been open for about two hours that day. My partner's Cheerios Latte gave us a laugh at first because it literally came topped with three Cheerios, but the humor faded quickly as the drink itself was overwhelmingly sweet and honestly undrinkable. The Chipotle Chicken Panini was just okay -- nothing memorable, but easily the best part of the order. Still, it wasn't worth the nearly $20 price tag. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind throughout the experience. The service attitude was great; unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't live up to the hype. Overall, I'm not sure I would return. Maybe they're still working through opening challenges, but for now, I'd probably stick with more consistent options. 2/5 -- unfortunately, not a place I'd recommend at the moment.

    Vietnamese coffee, Vanilla sweet cream Matcha, fresa con crema matcha
    Kristina P.

    I was so excited to try this new spot because I had heard so many people mention it. They have self order stations and they made the drinks super quickly-- less than 10 minutes. I ordered Vietnamese coffee, vanilla matcha and the fresa con crema matcha. All of our drinks were disappointing. The Vietnamese coffee was really watered down and didn't taste anything like Vietnamese coffee. Their menu says it's ceremonial grade matcha, but the matcha was grainy. It had a vibrant green colored but just tasted like watered down milk with a chalky after taste. I will definitely not be going back after spending about $33 on 4 drinks that tasted like nothing/nasty milk. Super disappointed because I really wanted to like this place. The shop itself is clean and nicely decorated, had music playing which made up for the lack of friendly customer service. The waitress called my name once then walked away-- no greeting, nothing.

    Very trendy cutesy coffee spot! I love the location. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Things to note: ordering is done strictly on kiosk, tap/card only, minimal seating space. The variations of coffee are endless! I like they have plenty of sugar free options also.

    Iced Chai Latte Pumpkin Cream Iced Chai

    Gold Bean is honestly my favorite coffee spot! I'm always here and it's definitely become one of my go-to places. The coffee is always so good, the atmosphere is cozy, and everyone is always so nice. I genuinely look forward to coming here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good coffee spot!

    Vietnamese-Style Iced Coffee and Dulce De Leche Latte
    Lincy H.

    Stars: 3.5 Hooray for a new cafe in downtown San Leandro! My husband and I have been into matcha drinks and coffee lately, so it was nice that a cafe opened up near our home. Here are some of the drinks we've tried so far: Banana Matcha - Although they use ceremonial matcha, I feel like I couldn't really taste the matcha :( Pandan Coffee - This one is our favorite so far. The flavor of the pandan and coffee came together nicely. Dulce De Leche Latte - I believe this one is their main specialty drink. My husband said it tasted like a starbs caramel frappe haha. Vietnamese-Style Iced Coffee - I was hoping it would be more leaning towards Vietnamese coffee, but the key word is "style". It's just a subtle hint of Vietnamese coffee. Since most of the drinks weren't as strong or flavorful as I was hoping, we scooped out the ice because we like to savor our drinks and didn't want our drinks to end up watered down. Not super wowed by the drinks, but still grateful that there's something close by when we need a pick me up. They have quite an expansive drink menu, so I would be down to keep trying more drinks.

    We came in on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't that busy. We ordered 3 drinks(using a kiosk), the macadamia latte, flan latte and the cafe de olla. All the beverages came out quickly and were about a 7-7.5. Our main critique of the drinks was that they have a somewhat artificial aftertaste. The inside of the store was clean and offered a moderate amount of seating. There are also a couple tables outside. The prices ranged from $6.50-7 for a medium drink which is about average nowadays. Definitely will come back to try the other drinks and sandwiches.

I like to look for new spins on lattes to see what barista's are whipping up to make things unique. I came in thinking I was going to get a basic latte, but the Borgia Mocha caught my eye! I asked the cashier if it was a good choice and she recommended it. I was a little unsure how the two would blend and how much orange they would use in it, but it came out amazing! Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique. I was instantly impressed and wish I found this on more menus! A classic mocha with a refreshing twist of orange was a pleasant surprise! I'm so glad I stopped in for a pick me up! I also loved all the art on the large walls and there looked to be plenty of tables and seating for people to eat and work at.

Cons: can be a pretty busy spot, not the most consistent, the specific beans I like aren't always available. Notes: Thought I had written a review here a while back as they are a part of my post Oakland airport tradition. My routine, fly into to Oakland, drive to Moussaka for lunch (rip the former chef/owner and restaurant), head 2 doors down to Zocalo for coffee on the ride home. If my flight was extra early and Moussaka was closed still, Zocalo was more than good enough to fit my food and coffee needs.
