receipt for nutty cow latte (small) & Smoked Salmon Breakfast Sandwich (New!)
Heran T.

I got a latte & bagel sandwich and somehow spent $25. I appreciate the cashier's help and explaining items, but going over the receipt it didn't really make sense? nutty cow latte not bad smoked salmon bagel good but not worth all that

Review is for Chai Tea More of a milky, super sweet drink instead of chai. Didn't taste any chai.... just milk. But there's free cinnamon powder :) Get coffee next time. Plenty of parking, but it is a busy lot! Thanks!

Vanilla latte
Jenny H.

I got a vanilla latte with three pumps. It was perfect - not too sweet. I would like to say I really like how hot temperature wise the latte stayed. I was there for almost two hours and even within one hour the latte stayed a good temperature. I am tired of lukewarm lattes. The staff there are nice. The music can be a bit loud when you're ordering. I did some work there and I saw an outlet near me. The bathroom is not the best but better than nothing. There were no paper towels though. I'd come back. :)

Delish!!
Neelab S.

Amaaaazzzzing cafe! Very neat and clean. Workers are so friendly and lovely. Loved the Apple fusion vegan non diary drink. So refreshing. Their scone is one of the bests. If you are in the area, must try. Peaceful and calm vibe. I am not sure how they have 3.8 staring! They deserve 5 . It is close to the Costco I shop in and will be my stop for a treat moving forward. My kid loved their smoked salmon sandwich. Oh and last hugs not least, their prices are really good.

Iced sugar free nutty cow latte
Estefania R.

Ordered an iced nutty cow SF latte which was pretty good! They had a lot of syrup options and their seasonal menu seemed interesting. Would definitely come again to try more fun flavors.

cherry blossom and the sakura seasonal drinks.
Lily G.

We got the cherry blossom and sakura seasonal drinks and they are delicious! Especially the sakura with oatmilk was our favorite and if you're into sweet drinks it's a must! The workers there are so sweet and made our day! We will definitely be back!

This is the morning bacon burrito and the Speculoos Oat Milk shaken espresso..  which the nice lady recommended.
Susy A.

The people here are always super nice. The food is great and so is the coffee.. they have the ice I like, lol.The shop it self has a cool vibe and looks nice inside. Theres is a lot of variety if food, pastries and drinks.Come check them out!

Brown cow latte
Richard H.

Located next to the Alameda Walmart, this is a great coffee shop with delicious pastries, gelato and beautiful artwork to enjoy when dining in. The brown cow latte, which is a hazelnut latte(hot). We also enjoyed an iced mocha latte, which was also delicious. I will be sure to enjoy their delicious gelato on my next trip.

Artsy cup to buy too
Jim L.

Great selection, coffee, bagels, breakfast fare, ice cream? Art on the wall and jazzy music, Two workers, so slow if there is a line, but most people would cheap it at the McD in the walmart nearby, so you can fufu here without too much wait. Huge parking lot, and about 20 seats inside, 6 chairs outside, so over 10 areas to sit, so great place to chill. Not sure about wifi, but i can get att free wifi here. So, if in neighborhood, will comeback

Two chunky monkey's and one coconut crunch are a delicious and homemade, almond milk is made in-house! I'll definitely be back!
Mari M.

Chunky monkey was delicious, they add peanut butter & banana with coffee. J would add an extra shot next time. The almond milk was made in house, which was a bonus. We will definitely be back

Ice matcha

This is not matcha this is water for 5 dollars That's why this place it's empty we don't ask for quantity we need quality spend your money somewhere else people this is very disappointing

I've been coming here for over 3 years and have always loved this place. I know the staff well and it's been one of my go-to spots. I usually order the same thing, but today I decided to try the avocado toast. Honestly... what kind of avocado toast was that? The middle was completely soggy and brown, and the edges were stiff and stale. It didn't smell fresh or look fresh at all. I got my food at 8:21 AM and went straight to my car. The moment I opened it, I came right back inside. I wasn't rude or demanding. I stayed calm and just wanted to bring it to their attention. I didn't even ask for a refund or remake. The response I got was disappointing. The employee told me, "We don't offer refunds or exchanges," even after seeing the condition of the food. She also claimed she had just made it, but I watched it come out of a pre-made container from the fridge.... What made it worse was the attitude. She became defensive and hostile right away, pointing at a sign immediately "saying read the no refund!" like I was trying to start a problem which I wasn't. She took the uneaten food back and still said there was nothing she could do. As someone with years of food & management experience, this was honestly unfortunate to witness with a place you have been coming to for years ..... chile It's not just about the food it's about how situations like this are handled which led to me NOT longer being a customer... Really disappointed.

"4oz" scoop gelato, prob at BEST 1/4 cup when it should've been 1/2 cup
Debbie F.

came here for gelato, and had the SMALLEST scoop of gelato that i've ever seen at any establishment! asked for small, which is advertised as 4oz, which should've been ~1/2 cup size. what we received was barely 1/4 cup. for 2 smalls, paid about $9.50 i guess the plus side is that i shouldn't be eating too much dessert anyway :) was also odd that for our different gelato orders, didn't bother using a different scoop, or rinsing the scoop other food items looked pretty good though, so maybe will try it when shopping this area again. but i don't recommend this place for gelato.

Coffee Connoisseur here ‍ I've done coffee crawls in Portland, OR and have tried many different…read morekinds of lattes. 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.

Pros: PLENTY of seating, this place is pretty big for a coffee shop, beans for sale, solid options…read morefor baked goods, enjoyable sandwiches, friendly workers. 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.

SO good! Reminder that this isn't a restaurant--you place an order via text, get an ETA for pickup…read moreand drive to the location. Once you arrive, follow up via text for instructions. Someone came out with our food and I sent our payment via Venmo. Husband and I got the sandwich, two iced coffees, corn, large salad and it was DELICIOUS. The portions are pretty substantial and I think a small salad would have sufficed. Will definitely be back!

I called to place order. Got a recording. Got a return call confirming my order. Found it's better to text with C6 or F7 unless one can speak Vietnamese. Main associate lacks English proficiency. Much easier for her to get "code" Place was an easy find. Street parking slightly difficult. Unknown if parking in their lot is permissible. Went towards big building on the right . Found unit with "Taste of Asia" brochure on window. Just before the gate. Bingo! Stood in front of open door until Vietnamese lady came out with my order. $21 cash. Unknown if Zelle has tax added to it. Tipped a little. Lady hesitated to give change. Offerings (Vietnamese): street food, drinks, coffee. Sips: Cafe Muoi Bien (sea salt foam Vietnamese coffee, 7)-Viet coffee, sea salt foam, condensed milk. -coffee didn't look full. No doubt foam on top shrank/mixed into coffee. -bold coffee with alternating sweet & salty tastes depending on sipping foam or condensed milk. Bites: Banh Trang Cuon (Vietnamese Special roll, 14). There's also a salad version with same ingredients & no wrapping. -dipping sauce had sweet & savory notes. -rice roll had dominant theme of beef jerky. The surrounding nuanced taste was a symphonic medley of carrots, quarter sectioned boiled eggs, coriander, green mango, dried shrimp, fried onions, peanuts & green mangos, 5 stars Worthy! Quality: freshly premade. Quantiy: ample enough for a meal. Would repeat. *Taste of Asia "passport" given to win prizes from buying from food vendors in Oakland Chinatown & San Leandro Asian businesses.

Simple and delicious cafe that provided us some quick lunches during a hospital stay! We went here…read moretwo days in a row and were happy with everything we tried: the Lomo Saltado sandwich (nice saucy flavor), Pan con Chicharron (the onions were not too strong and i liked the sweet potato), Cheesesteak (pretty standard but lots of meat), and the fries with the dipping sauce which i should've asked for extra of. We also ordered a surprise bag of pastries through Too Good To Go and we got a variety of croissant based pastries that were all yummy! It's outdoor seating only which was a little rough for us because the first day we went was sprinkling rain while we ate under the porous tarp and the second was scorching hot so we just took it to go. Also if you're eating in, you'll have to go in to check if your foods ready because they didn't bring it out.

I saw that Ancestors was well-reviewed online, so decided to give them a try. I ordered a falafel…read moresandwich in pita (the other option is to have it in a wrap). They have a bunch of outdoor tables and chairs under shade in the parking lot, and plenty of free parking in the lot. The fries were crispy with light seasoning on them, and the sandwich is huge. I'm not a fan of the red cabbage, but the amount and the crispiness of falafel was great. Hummus is off to one side inside the sandwich. There was a small cup of yogurt sauce under the sandwich. They gave me two ketchup packets and also a compostable bag for carrying the food. Food was really good, so I recommend giving it a try.
