I saw Bayareamunchies do a review on this place on instagram. I pass this place often but never knew what it was til I saw the review. I have a cold & thought this was the perfect time to stop by. I ordered a medium pineapple, ginger & oranges along with 2 ginger shots. The taste was great! The young lady behind the counter was nice. Im glad she gave me a punch card cuz I'll be back again today great price. I'm so happy to see a place like this in the hood. read more

Absolutely recommend this place ! Who needs Jamba Juice when you can come here for fresh quality ingredients made with love on top of it ! I've been frequenting them for some time now . I personally come here for the fresh pressed ginger shots ! Absolutely amazing and did I mention everything is fresh ?! No ice cream or sherbet used , just good ol amazing fruits and veggies ! They have plenty of options to choose from and that's for shots , fresh squeezed juices , smoothies and bowls ! You can pick from the extensive menu or literally get whatever you want customized! Health is wealth and this spot is all about it . The owner always shows love and has the best spirit . Always leave here happy and smiling lol . It's a very cozy small shop and there's only street parking unless you park in the lot across the street . Besides limited parking this is the place to come to in the east for healthy goodness ! read more

Never had Yemini juice before and stumbled into this gem on one of the hottest days in the Bay! There's literally 100+ juice options to choose from and all priced very affordable $5 16 oz can't be beat especially for avocado or their Yemini specialty ones. We got the Araisy and I discovered that peanuts, mangos, and dates together truly create a delicious, nutty flavor that rivals a fruity PB & J but smoothie form lol. The chopped apples were crisp and refreshing as well, I really liked how healthy yet decadent tasting the Ariasy was. My friend played it safe and got banana and ginger which tasted like a cleanse but still delicious. Initially wanted to get their sugar cane but they said they were out that day, still happy we came across it and ordered anyways.. Owner was super nice and helpful, he wiped down tables for us to sit and gave us recommendations. Will be coming back in the next heat wave! read more

I've been ordering from them online on and off for months, but in a random drive because I missed my turn, I discovered they are literally half a mile from me. Hemo's is great, has a wonderful juice and smoothie menu and the dude that works there is pleasant and makes a mean smoothie. I get the cucumber, kale& pineapple. It's not sickly sweet like lots of green smoothies. It's soothing and the cucumber really calms my easily irritated stomach. My kiddo gets the watermelon. It's just plain watermelon and is so hydrating! I've had some of the other juices, too. They're great! Lots of cool combinations! They have a few tables and All open windows so you can be starting the day with a brightly lit table. So skip the corporate smoothie spot and support a local business! POC Owned as well, for bonus points! They also have sandwiches, but I haven't tried them yet. read more

**just based on DoorDash order** We haven't been here in person yet, however recently had some goodies delivered. When I saw this spot had opened, I was STOKED because it's pretty close to us. We ordered the plasma smoothie, Fakhfakhina smoothie, and pure energy juice. All of them were DELICIOUS and tasted fresh. I've never had Fakhfakhina before and was a little hesitant to order it (I wasn't sure I'd like the chunks of fruit or nuts in there), but I'll definitely get it again. I saved the juice to make smoothies at home later in the week and it was great!! We're hoping to go in person very soon!! read more

I was there on a warm Sunday, just to try their acai bowls. There's four acai bowls on the menu board, so I asked the gentleman behind the counter....."which is the best acai bowl?" With confidence, he said...."the Oasis Bowl." He likes the Oasis Bowl because it features seasonal fruit. That means the recipe and taste experience can change with the seasons. When I was there, the seasonal fruit was pineapple. This place makes a good acai bowl. For $13.00, it's not overflowing with fruit toppings. Instead, it's packed with fresh fruit, crispy granola, chia seeds, honey and coconut flakes on top of a acai base. It's definitely a meal, not a fruit bowl snack. The interior is very clean. It has a small outdoor patio. According to signage, there's no indoor seating. Main Squeeze is located near the Park Street Downtown.

I showed them how I could barely find the dragonfruit, but they said that's what their bowls look like - they weigh it to the half point and then add toppings.

On the Blue Hawaii Bowl (without granola) the fresh fruit on top was good, but the base itself was a letdown. It had a bitter taste rather than being sweet, and overall it wasn't anything special or memorable. Also, keep in mind that the bowls don't come automatically with toppings; you have to pay extra for them, and they didn't have many options to choose from anyway. The texture of the base was fine, but the flavor missed the mark. Their smoothies actually looked a bit better, so if I ever went back, I'd probably try a smoothie instead, though I wouldn't go out of my way to return. My friend ordered the Rainbow Poke Bowl. He claimed it tasted fresh, wasn't dry, and had a lot of good flavors. It had a bit of a Hawaii vibe to the flavoring that reminded him of the islands, and while it was better than other mainland poke options, it still didn't quite compare to the real thing in Hawaii. The staff were very nice, and the interior of the shop is very decorative and cute. However, the location is in a rougher area with bad parking. Because the shop leaves its doors open, the strong smell from the street and the presence of homeless individuals hanging right outside drift directly into the shop. Not a destination spot for me, but the smoothies and staff might be worth a look if you're already in the area.

I appreciated the scorched banana topping for extra caramelization. I sipped the espresso before I mixed it and thought it was great. Not too sweet with the flavor still coming through. My only complaint it that a drink is $10 lol Hoping to come back and try their matcha!

Probably the only cafe that will make me cross the bay bridge just for the taste!…read moreBeautiful, unique fragrants of their wide coffee selections! So far my favourite is the India SLN9! The staff is happy to talk about their bean selection and gave me both a warm mug and an ice cup so I can try them two ways. I like SLN9 chilled, the ice is almost like a prism, reveal and separate floral, light acidic, honey-like notes!! Super refreshing and pleasant! The Columbia washed sweet nectar tastes similarly perfumery but feels stronger when drinking it hot. Love both pastries too. The raspberry one is filled with rich & tart chocolate inside, and the pistachio one has a different chocolate filling is sweeter nuttier and the little crunch is like Dubai chocolate...

We were then seated, the first girl asked if we wanted anything to drink which we did but we never got our drinks til another waitress came and asked us 20mins later. We told her we were ready to order and we had to wait another 10mins for another waiter to order. We got the chive/shallot yogurt, lollipop lamb chops, Koobideh and Joojeh Kabob. The kabeb dishes came with grilled tomato, grilled pepper, rice with tadig on top. They also make this pink butter to put on the rice. Food is good and everything was seasoned well and not over cooked. I want to give this place a try again but they need to work on their customer service. They catered more to other tables and we didn't even get offered the dessert menu like the other tables around us. Also, we had to ask for the check and no one even came to check if we were ready to pay we had to go up there.

While this visit was in between the lunch and dinner rush, unfortunately I think they are understaffed because at the time we sat down there was only 1 person who was busing tables and taking orders. As a result, it took a while for them to be able to stop by our table and provide water, take our order, etc. There was quite a long wait between sitting down to ordering to actually receiving our food. By the time we had actually received our food, almost an hour had passed. While we were waiting, a few other servers eventually joined, but service was still pretty bare for us and we never received refills on water or plates to eat off of when we received our food. I understand that staffing and a backup in the kitchen are out of the staff's control, but it would've definitely helped for us to know in advance how long to expect to wait to align our expectations and arrange our plans for the day. Would advise giving customers a quick heads up/warning because that on its own would've made a big difference. As for the actual food, we ordered the mac trio with elote mac, chicken pot pie mac, and kogi short rib mac (for an extra fee). The elote mac was the best and most flavorful, the short rib mac was okay but not amazing or worth the extra money, and the chicken pot pie mac was very bland/flavorless and didn't have much chicken in it. The food didn't feel like it warranted the wait time and because of that I would not return.

Fentons Creamery

Went on Sunday, 7/19/26, for Fenton's Jr black and tan sundae - anniversary special…read more The line was out the door for the take-out sundaes with around a forty minute wait while sit-down was less than a 5 minute wait.

Poor, old, formerly great Fenton's. I grew up in Piedmont, I've been going there all of my life…read more Nowadays, I avoid going in, because the service was so rude so many times, I gave up. But, my boss orders us food from Fenton's via Doordash to be delivered to our Oakland office from time to time. Last several times in a row, it's been pretty dang bad, (the potato chips always taste fishy!) but today (8/5/26) it was literally garbage. We had 2 egg salad sandwiches and a jalapeno burger, plus two milkshakes. The egg salad sandwiches had to be straight up tossed out. Just not edible. The egg salad was sooo watery, it was like a soup. Just dripping and running down out of the bread. Also, a HEAVY mustard taste, overpowering everything else. The burger had a piece of something (literally) translucent on it, apparently their idea of a slice of cheese? And the accompanying fries were COLD. The toasted almond milkshake was so runny it was like a flavored water. Not at all a creamy consistency, I don't even think they made it with milk, it seemed to be just a tiny bit of ice cream, some water and a lot of ice cubes (still visible in the shake). Just nasty. The other milkshake seemed ok. Of course, with the order being from DoorDash, it's near-impossible to get any real support, so it's just basically a total loss. I don't know if Fenton's just doesn't GAF, since they're always busy anyways, OR if they need to pay their employees more in order to attract the sort of person who's capable of being trained to care to do things correctly, but it's just really a bummer that such a neat, fun, old legacy business is allowing itself to disappoint customers and turn into a big mess like this. Sad.

Me Va Con Vietnamese Kitchen

Was in the mood for pho and decided we'd try someplace I haven't been before. I've had enough pho…read morealong the west coast to know what great pho should taste like and I haven't had the best luck in the Bay. So, the verdict? Extremely impressed. This is already on my top five list in a single visit. Went for the basics: beef pho, and salad roll with tofu. I was initially put off by the short menu and few options to add toppings (I didn't see any tendon or tripe for example), and worried it would be too bland or too sweet--but it was not. The broth was deeply flavorful and more savory. Meats were generous and meatballs were exceptional, maybe the best I've had. The basil and sprouts were garden fresh, and unusually, the rice noodles were exceptional, not at all soft or pressed together. I could genuinely taste the love here. It extended to the salad rolls which were generously portioned and used lightly fried tofu which I prefer. One additional note about the broth. It's a richer style than I normally like so I couldn't drink it to the last drop, but I can't fault its great flavor. The service was above average, with a spirited vibe. Loved everything, will be back to try more on the menu.

Stepping into Me Va Con felt like entering a slightly more upscale Vietnamese restaurant. They've…read moreclearly put more thought into the decor and menu than you typically see at a traditional pho spot. We ordered the beef pho ($20), crispy spring rolls ($11), and beef carpaccio ($18). The pho was solid, with a clear, deeply flavored broth and noodles that were slightly al dente, which I personally enjoyed. That said, for $20, it didn't feel especially memorable. The crispy spring rolls were fine, but I prefer the ones I make at home, so I'd probably skip them next time. I was especially excited to try the Vietnamese beef carpaccio, and the presentation was beautiful. The beef was fresh, evenly sliced, and topped with baby greens, onions, crispy fried onions, and edible flowers. Unfortunately, the sauce leaned far too citrusy for my taste and overpowered the flavors I wanted to come through, such as fish sauce, vinegar, and sugar. I also think a little more fried onion and garlic would have made the dish more flavorful and satisfying. Overall, we had a decent meal with both highlights and misses. They also offer dishes like bánh khọt and bò lúc lắc, which may be worth trying on a future visit.

There was a lot of people in there 1/2 an hour before closing too so I'm sure the place is good. I tried something new cause I usually love this drink: banana matcha, (Even though i originally came to try something else) but I was disappointed. Matcha flavor was really light and so was the banana flavor. It was more of a light matcha milk, if you will. I will come back to try what I originally wanted to drink (horchata matcha latte, I believe it was) cause I really think they have good drinks. I've heard great things from friends so maybe I just got a bad drink, off day, or because it was a new drink on the menu, it just hasn't been perfected yet? Not sure but just wasn't what I usually expect from a matcha drink. Other than that, service was great. The cashier was really nice. I was able to find street parking really easily as well. (If you do try the banana matcha, maybe ask for less milk!)

The fries were the perfect texture and came out fresh. We occupied majority of the space and the staff and owners welcomed us and did not rush us out (this literally happened at a neighboring boba spot in alameda- they were so rude.

The absolute worst boba shop in Alameda. Do yourself a favor and don't go here…read more I've been here multiple times because I kept giving them another chance, but every visit seems to come with a new problem. One time there was a hair in my drink. On several other occasions I ordered a smoothie, only for it to be handed to me already melted. Even the popcorn chicken has gotten noticeably smaller over the years. The drinks aren't good either. The flavors don't taste authentic at all--they have a very artificial, fake taste, like they're just dumping flavored powder into a blender instead of using real ingredients. The shop itself is also poorly maintained. You can see dust and spiderwebs around the store, and it doesn't feel like cleanliness is a priority. I've given this place more chances than it deserved, hoping it would improve, but it never does. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Strella's Juice Bar took the call and repeated my order back to me -- super important when your lunch time is limited and you're en route! I got an ETA for food pickup and got a call when it was ready-- again, super important when you're on the go! I picked up my order and was happy to see they take multiple payment options including cash, Zelle, credit card point of sale, and Apple Pay. There was ample street parking on the one-way street and on Coliseum Way, you just have to know which way you're coming from. The food: I ordered a turkey bacon club type of sandwich on sourdough deli style bread, a burger and fries combo, and green smoothie, and an Oreo milkshake. The sandwich was delicious and hefty for the price with generous portions of turkey and bacon. I did not try the burger but my son enjoyed it. My green smoothie was hella big and worth the $10 for fresh fruits and veggies. The Oreo milkshake was also huge (probably 32oz cups?) but thankfully not overly sweet. It was so big that my son had to space it out between meals. The ambiance: Strella's is a small roadside eatery but I hope they expand to a brick and mortar location. The truck is white with green menus and parked at the corner of 66th Ave and Coliseum Way. There is limited seating near the truck but you can always take your food back to your car/job/house or eat at the shoreline park down the street. Estrella is super nice and the food was a good value for the freshness and portions. I would love to come back to try the brunch offerings.
