SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service was quick and efficient. Their indoor decor was appropriate and appealing. PARKING: Located on busy Webster St., they have street parking only. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: We got a kid's scoop of their mango sticky rice and pandan coconut, both of which had great flavor. The only downside was the almost inedible, frozen chunks of sticky rice that definitely came as a surprise within each spoonful of ice cream. We also got to sample their dan tat and several other flavors as well. We will be back for sure in the future.

Really not much service, but the peeps are nice.

I ordered the Mandro Milk Tea with boba and 30% sweetness. Overall, the drink was okay. The boba was a little hard. My drink tasted almost as sweet as my friend's drink that had a higher sweetness level than mine. I liked the tea flavor though. I'm not sure which tea they used but it was good.

Very easy to make reservations online though I made mine 2 weeks in advance. And they use the reservations to label the seatings. Overall it was a nice experience. The service was great, each table has a small bell to ring for service, but obviously that can get a little annoying so the servers are pretty attentive. (Ie. I didn't hear much bell ringing! ) The menu is split into 3 different offerings every person at the table must select one; ie. You can't go in as a two top and only order one service and share-- each person has to order one service. The sandwiches were delectable the sweets weren't typical, as they were leaning more Malaysian. They did have small scones though (for the more English inspired!) A very wide selection of teas which we enjoyed so much! It was the perfect amount of food since each item was cut for tea. I think there are about 8 tables inside (can arrange small ones into bigger ones) and one outside on the sidewalk. Parking is tough as this is in a residential area- but there is street parking. We went on a Sunday afternoon.

Incredibly overpriced & overrated…read more Sandwiches are so tiny and the amount of food for $48/pp is insulting. We got the kaya, bak kwa, meat floss, sardines, and sambal tofu sandwiches. The sardine and sambal ones had great flavor but just didn't have enough spice or filling. Bak kwa sandwich was $3 extra and completely not worth it. So bland. Scones were small and hard. Pandan cake & pumpkin kuih were bland, esp the kuih. I could barely taste the pumpkin but the texture was good. I ordered chrysanthemum & lemongrass tea and it was pretty tasteless - almost like water. The malaysian pulled tea was good. Very cute restaurant ambiance. Service is just ok - very basic. I really wanted to love this place but both my husband and i came away disappointed. Along with the lack of flavors, the pricing is also pretty unreasonable for the portions. Good to try once, but won't return.

It was my first time visiting Tucker's and it was packed the brim. Good. My expectations are up there as I look at the line. A few flavors caught my eye, mainly the marble raspberry.

We bought one of each to try. We were informed that they have other Hawaiian pastries at the Farmer's Market in Alameda. My husband wanted a breakfast sandwich which brought us here. They definitely nailed the Breakfast Sando!!! I did substitute the black truffle cheese for their Monterey and Jack combo. (I'm not a big fan of truffle flavor)‍ Our sandwiches were BOMB !!! Yes, we put some Tapatio hot sauce on it. Mmm mmm good!!! My husband actually said "This is the BEST breakfast sandwich I've had in a VERY LONG TIME!!!" We will be back, AND they are working on expanding their menu even more!!! We're here for it!!! Till the next time!!!

UC Dessert is open for business offering refreshing Hong Kong style desserts. I was there on a…read morewarm Sunday afternoon. Not too much business for some reason. Could it be due to the City of Oakland charging for parking on Sundays? The menu is like picture book of their tempting desserts. I ordered something simple, the E02- mixed fruit, chia w/ ice cream, and coconut sauce. Only one person was working behind the counter, so it took them 5-8 mins to serve my order. But my order was worth the wait, because it was fresh, cold and refreshing. Why 4-stars? The interior seems old and outdated. There were only 4-5 booths along the wall. The old Yelp photos show small tables down the center of the dining room. Those were probably removed due to social distancing. The largest table is a booth that seats up to six. It seems like this place should have a bar at the counter. Street parking.....meters are active on Sunday. Parking garage available

Nice, good food, nobody sticks their nose in your business, so I liked it a lot. I love third spaces and I'm glad there's a quiet spot in Alameda to relax after dinner.

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. Safe to say, whenever we're back in town, we'll definitely be returning!
