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

No, I don't think so. It seems that their only gluten-free stuff is the drinks

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.

The Marketing Trap is Real (But the Service is Great!) I had…read moreabsolutely no intention of stopping by Peet's today, but their marketing team definitely knows what they are doing! I got a "spend $6, get $3 off" promo in my app since it had been a while, and it lured me right through the door. My goal was to stay as close to that $6 mark as possible to practically get a freebie. I originally ordered a large drink and a pastry, but when the total hit $12, I had the barista knock the drink down to a medium to save a few bucks. After the discount, I walked out spending $8. Sneaky marketing--they got me to spend money I hadn't planned on! For my order, I tried the Iced Lavender Vanilla Matcha. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite and didn't quite hit the spot, so I only drank about half of it. I also grabbed a Lemon Blueberry Danish. Now, I have a personal rule about "open-air" pastry cases--if food is sitting out all day, it's an open invitation for gnats or flies to dance all over it! Usually, I prefer when they pull a fresh one from the back wrap counter. When I noticed the barista pull mine straight from the display, I asked her about it. She was sweet and assured me everything was fresh and they didn't have a gnat problem right now, so I decided to take a chance since she was warming it up. Sadly, the danish wasn't very delicious either, and I only ate a few bites. Even though the food and drink were a miss for me today, I still love coming into this Peet's. The atmosphere is always so incredibly calm and peaceful, and the baristas are always so friendly, upbeat, and polite. I'll definitely be back for my usuals, but I'll probably pass on the lavender and the display case next time!

I love this bakery. It is located in a small outdoor shopping mall with free parking…read more Everything here is delicious and reasonably priced. Staff at the store are friendly and efficient. There is a tiny eat in place. I usually buy their red bean bun, coconut twist, and white Chocolate loaf (Of course they are the best when freshly baked, however, they stock up well in freezer). They offer savory breads too if that is more of your preference. I like their egg tart, cheese bites and mango cheese cake also! IMO, I feel like their drinks are a bit too sweet ( personal preference). Be sure to download an app for special monthly offers and rewards.

This is my final stop on the gluten challenge tour. We got the guava cheese pastry, the mango…read morecustard bun, coconut bun, red bean matcha roll, choco bun, and the Hokkaido milk bun. Guava cheese pastry has guava jam inside. Not much filling but the flavor is quite strong. No cheese to speak of. Mango custard bun smells strongly of mango but the flavor is more subtle. It's mango all throughout though. Coconut bun was by far the strongest flavor, really generous amount of creamy custard coconut filling. Matcha red bean roll is filled with whipped cream. It has the green tea flavor but it's very subtle. The red bean is few and far between. The choco bun was chocolatey, with a pudding consistency of filling. The bun had a cocoa flavor. Strong flavor of chocolate throughout. The Hokkaido bun was filled with whipped cream which was unexpected. Underneath the cream is some sort of white bean paste The cream filling is like a really good hostess filling. It's self serve. A lot of similar places have you grab the pastries with tongs, but here they put them in plastic which is a relief in terms of germ spreading potential. Line went quickly. Tons of options. Tons of savories too and lots of drinks. They were constantly replacing and bringing out fresh pastries. They did so 3-4 times in the 10 mins we were there so you know when you go the pastries won't be stale or old.

Haven't been here in years, and I'm so happy to see they're still here and thriving. You can feel…read morethe thoughtfulness behind this place. It gives off such a welcoming, community-centered vibe -- like they genuinely want people to come in, enjoy good food and drinks, hang out, relax, and just have a good time. I was indecisive while ordering because there's just too many goodies to choose from and IK that can be annoying, but we had great service because the guy that took our order was patient and seen that my struggles was most definitely real . We ordered mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, curly fries, and two large Thai teas -- one with green apple jelly topping, which paired sooo well to me hehe. We don't eat out much because we cook at home nowadays, so when we do, we wanna enjoy the classics lol. It's actually really cool seeing how the place has evolved over the years. The very first time we came, the back area looked like this cute little library/study hall/tutoring/game/hangout room. Then a couple years into the COVID days, it turned into a unique snack and gift shop vibe. Now it's this awesome mini arcade/lounge setup with comfy seating, sports on TV, and really great food (savory & sweets) and drinks. And the food is SOLID. Even on my last mozzarella stick, I still had a cheese pull -- and it had already been at least like 20-30 minutes. That says a lot on the quality. What also makes this place stand out is the little acts of kindness. Part of their service is while we were already getting busy, grubbing, they randomly offered us a complimentary yummy, soft, and fluffy eggette on a stick with their condensed milk sauce, which gave me that feeling like how a love one would just randomly give something very sweet just because. I don't go out much anymore, but if I'm craving for some outside sweets and treats oh and almost forgot to mention how pretty affordable for the quality and portions we got for our meal, I'm def bringing my nieces n nephews here when they visit! I love the different chairs, décor, games, ambiance, food, and drinks! They keep everything so clean, neat, and organized at the station from where you sanitize your hands, grab your napkins, straws and condiments-- it genuinely feels like there's something here for everyone. You HAVE to find at least one thing you'll enjoy here!
