    Mocha - viet coffee - cortado
    Jeanette J.

    I've been here a few times. Coffee is okay but not strong if you're into strong coffee this is not the place for it. The mocha was more like a hot cocoa it was good though. Pastries were very delicious! Customer service was alright but it can improve. I'll go back but it won't be my go to coffee shop.

    Avocado Toast & Matcha Latte

    What an adorable spot in Point Richmond. So cozy and community friendly/oriented. While in the area I stopped in to do some work on the laptop and noticed other worker bees and coffee dates. Super warm and inviting environment with WiFi. There's board games and a small stage (looks like are also a venue for evening events!) I ordered an avo toast and matcha latte. Really went for all green :)) I appreciate the drinks served in super cute mugs, giving the feel that you're curling up at your home away from home. They offer other fun toast options, snacks, salads, beer/wine, coffee/tea, sweet treats, and more. There's plenty of parking in the area, but leave additional time just in case. Super friendly staff, a real feel-good spot.

    Solid coffee in Richmond Was walking around and stumbled upon this place. I was amazed at how much seating space this coffee shop had including outdoor seating space. It feels very homey, comfortable, and a great place to hang out with friends. The drinks were amazing, matcha was on the lighter side and was not a strong matcha flavor but overall pretty solid drinks. Service was alright, person on cashier was not very friendly. If you have questions about drink menu items, they're not the best at answering and seem annoyed that you're asking. That being said, I was able to talk to the baristas and they were very friendly so maybe it's just the cashier. Overall I'd come back to try some different items. Coffee Rating: 9/10 Matcha Rating: 8/10 Overall Rating: 8/10

    Vietnamese iced coffee

    I'm so disappointed my husband went to get my usual Vietnamese iced coffee which I always get only a few other times did it taste off to me but today it was more like condensed milk and milk no coffee whatsoever for almost an $7/$8 drink it's a waste. I can't even drink it because it's all milk and sugar.

    I ordered a Vietnamese latte and I thought it was ok. It was pretty sweet and I couldn't taste the coffee as much-- typically a Vietnamese coffee has a nice strong taste that shines through. But the most notable thing about this place is the ambiance. There is an assortment of tables and chairs inside, a couch and sofa seats, and a beautiful backyard patio with even more seating. There's a shelf of books and games. I grabbed a book and sat outside to enjoy the fresh air and trees with my coffee. I'd certainly come back here to sit down and do work or hang out with a friend. At least they also serve food and pastries that seem to be affordably priced compared to oakland cafes!

    All milk no chai . I was pouring out but stopped for a photo

    I love this place but today, I don't know if it was too much talking amongst the two ladies and no one was paying attention but my iced chai had no chai. It's straight up almond milk only. I'm upset I didn't taste before I left. Drove off, took a call and didn't sip for a while. I was about to pour this out but stopped so I could get a pic.

    When I think of a "kaleidoscope", I think of those handheld toys you look into that displayed a colorful aura with psychedelic patterns. However, I don't want to go too off topic so I will leave it at that. Which takes me to Richmond where I had the opportunity in checking out "Kaleidoscope Coffee". Located in the cozy downtown area of Point Richmond right on Park Place and south of the 580 freeway, this place has been brewing up delicious coffee beverages and food dating back to late-2015. My significant other and I came here during the morning of Sunday 4/21/2024 at around 10:20am as we needed that extra caffeine kick before venturing to San Francisco for the day. Parking was surprisingly easy to find as this is a very chill and quaint part of town. Since it was a Sunday, many of the small businesses were closed for the day. Kaleidoscope does offer very generous business hours as they are open 7 days a week from 7am-7pm. Best of all, they also have an open-mic night every Monday evening. Once inside, you are greeted by a huge open space area. It was arguably one of the larger sized coffee shops I've frequented. You will find many tables for small parties, comfy sofas, and plush chairs throughout as if you're lounging inside of a friends' living room. This inside area has a huge brick wall complete with shelves that includes dozens of reading books, whole bean/ground coffee for sale, coffee filters, and mugs. Every square foot of this place is well executed perfectly for a cozy and relaxing experience. The outside does not disappoint either as there is a large deck and garden overlooking several trees in the distance. Since I was a little hungry, I ended up ordering toast (they use 2 slices of fresh Sourdough) complete with peanut-butter, honey, and cinnamon. As for my drink, I chose an iced Vietnamese coffee (which offers sweetened condensed milk). My lady ordered their avocado toast (which also use the 2 slices of sourdough) while this included salt, pepper, and olive oil. She went with their hot vanilla latte. Our drinks were ready within a few minutes while our toasts are ready only a couple minutes later. My toast was made to perfection while my lady was generous enough to let me sample her avocado toast. This absolutely hit the spot in every way possible. Oh, and my Vietnamese iced coffee was also a 10/10 and made to perfection. We also had the opportunity meeting the owner Venkatesh (aka Venki) during our visit and mentioned just how wonderful her coffee shop looks. Since we're not from this area, I don't know the next time I will visit but this place is as good as it gets as far as coffee in Richmond go. With that said and done, I am giving "Kaleidoscope Coffee" a unanimous five-star rating. Service, ambiance, prices, coffee, and food was all tops in my book.

    Macchiato, Coffee, Haldi Doodh

    I should start off with saying i'm a frequent flyer here of sorts. So I can say I have tried a little bit of everything. Kaleidoscope is nestled in cozy downtown Point Richmond and is the only real coffee shop here. It's the cutest little shop with lamps with paper cut outs, local artisan faire, outdoor patio, nooks and an array of seating. Lots of individuals will coke to sit and work on their lap tops. They also offer comedy nights among other events. Shop can sometimes seem a little cluttered because a lot of their inventory is out due to lack of space it seems. Bathroom has large chalk walls where you are encouraged to leave messages. Books to read and Kaleidoscopes for the children to play with. Service is always pleasant, 100% of the time, regardless of how busy it is. The owners are present and available. Small, independent, minority owned. Kaleidoscope qualifies as an actual cafe, they aren't pushing out premade drinks down an assembly line. They have matcha, Haldi Doodh, Various espresso based drinks, specialty syrups, decadent ice cream that leans towards a cleaner food, pastries from local vendors including mochi donuts and vegetarian muffins, goat cheese toast with honey and feta, lots of variety. Prices are fair, portions match the quality and portion sized of offerings. My only cons is that for non espresso based drinks they are sometimes lukewarm, regardless of milk choice. We often ask them to reheat drinks even, flavor is still there hut when ordering a hot beverage I have an expectation that it's more than just 'warm'. They gladly adjust the drink when asked, no complaints. For all of the reasons above I will continue to be a happy patron there. The warmth of drinks is an easy fix and i'm hoping that they may notice a pattern in order to adjust accordingly. Definitely take a trip in when visiting Richmond.

    Lovely rear patio

    I was heading home from Berkeley and had a craving for Bahn Mi. There are numerous places along…read morethe way and Ive probably tried a dozen or more. I wanted to try something than the usual suspects so pulled over and looked up yelp. I decided on Hoai Huong Coffee Shop. It was a bit out my way but I had the time. I had the number 5 (roasted bbq pork) Bahn Mi and vietnamese coffee....incredible. The Bahn Mi is the best Ive had in the East Bay. very generous portion of delicious pork with fresh vegetables and perfectly roasted bread. The coffee was strong and not to sweet and im sure Ill be awake for days. The staff was friendly and family oriented. Its now my go to place. Highly recommend

    Solid banh mi spot with a variety of sandwiches and drinks at a great price. Most sandwiches will…read morerun you about $6. Portions are reasonable too. I tried the combo, grilled pork, and pork roll with pate and egg sandwiches. My favorite was definitely the pork roll/pate/egg one and the dac viet/combo was tasty too. I wasn't a big fan of the texture grilled pork as I'm used to a more charbroiled kind but it was still fine. The bread was fragrant and crispy outside while fluffy inside. I appreciated the herbs/pickled veggies, viet mayo, and seasoning sauce ratios too. The service was fast and there are a few tables if you'd like to dine in. The space is cozy so I opted for take out. I'd love to try the avocado coffee or other drinks next time I'm in the area!

    Extremely Disappointed -- Terrible Food & Worse Customer Service…read more I've been coming here for months and have even brought family and friends because I genuinely wanted to support this business. But the past few visits, our orders have constantly been always mess ups, and today was honestly the last straw. How do you serve food looking like this and think it's acceptable? The quality was awful, the presentation was sloppy, and the whole meal was disappointing. When I asked for my order to be remade, they said "okay" and told me I could keep the food. So naturally, I waited assuming an entirely new order was being made... only for them to bring out ONE pancake. Seriously? What kind of customer service is that? It's frustrating because I've continuously supported this place and recommended it to others, just to be treated like this. Instead of properly accommodating a loyal customer, they handled the situation carelessly and made it seem like my complaint didn't matter at all. At this point, I honestly wouldn't recommend coming here. The service has gone downhill, the orders are constantly wrong, and management clearly doesn't care about fixing issues the right way. Completely ridiculous. Look at the before picture once I first started compared to now... like come now... absurd! Literally could've went to Denny's... smh!
