Ask for recommendations!! The baristas and cashier are super nice. I got the Pandan Latte, which is a new flavor to me, I enjoyed it so much!! Also they have some cool art on the wall, cute location. read more

Lazybird Coffee has been one of our go-to stops during a bike ride as of late, which is usually during the weekend mornings. Usually there's a small line out the door and that has remained unchanged for this visit as well. They have a small space and tables for small parties both inside the cafe and along their front sidewalk. Their menu selection is wide, offering a variety of lattes, coffees, and teas, but also both pastries and small meals as well. It's no wonder why they're always popping around this time of day. Although I haven't tried many of their drinks, I can say that their matcha latte has been consistently good. Today I ordered one with almond milk and the matcha flavor is nicely balanced. Good ratio between matcha and milk. The matcha itself tastes pretty well rounded - not bitter, but also not too subtle in flavor. I probably got the matcha here like three times and it has not failed me yet. My partner really enjoys the Malasada but they can sell out pretty quickly. Previously I've tried their Ube Crinkle and their donuts and they were pretty good as well. This time, I wanted something a little less sweet and small so I tried the Bibingka which was great! I love mochi and the Bibingka had a mochi texture to it. It comes with some pineapple bits which I tend to avoid, but my desire to try something new overrode that today and thankfully, the bits were small. It's a dense little bite, but I enjoyed it! A perfect little bike treat. I don't get much interaction here with the workers since it's such a quick stop, but it's okay. I think depending on what time you go, it just gets really busy and employees are just trying to chug out the orders. We'll be back again for those delicious drinks and pastries though! read more

Lazybird Coffee - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

The only downside of this place is that it's a bit far from where I live...or maybe that's a good thing for my wallet. I absolutely LOVE Lazybird and I've loved everything I've tried here! Their lattes are great and their egg salad toast and avo toast is divine. The line can get a bit long, so plan ahead! The baristas are all super friendly and fast but the place is small so you're lucky if you can nab a table. read more

Still love the pandan latte and they really expanded their food menu. And they now have compostable lids! But there is a lack of transparency with their extras on their drinks. My milk alternative and extra shots + tip ended up being close to $12, when my normal hipster place is almost $9. I get they make their syrup in house, but ouch. And that 20+ min wait just to order is painful. Will time it better in the future and keep this as a spot as a backup to the backup due to the inconvenience, high prices, proximity to home and tight seating options. read more

Came here on my birthday! It's been in my list of places to go for a few years and we were in Alameda so we came here for lunch! The space is very modern, lots of light through the windows, tall ceilings! I'd love a place like this closer to home! Fast casual set up - order at the counter. Super easy! They have great menu items. We ordered the egg salad toast with chili crisp. The egg salad was rich but not much - was it made with kewpie mayo? The market salad with apple slices, Gouda cheese and candied pecans those with sherry vinaigrette was perfect for me! My extra treat was the pandan latte. It's slightly sweet with some jasmine and coconut notes. So delicious! Can't wait to come back! read more

I ordered the pandan latte and wow it tasted exactly like the dessert, just in liquid form. Comforting, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the egg toast, which was so yummy, perfectly balanced with fresh arugula and a drizzle of chili oil that gave it just the right kick. My fiancé ordered the Yau Choy & Gruyere croissant with fried egg and sriracha aioli, and it was packed with flavor. Saucy, savory, and the egg was cooked beautifully. Everything felt thoughtfully made and full of flavor. Such a lovely spot for both unique drinks and satisfying bites -- we'll definitely be back read more

I wasn't a fan cause of the service last time but it's been a few years since and I wanted to try it again. The customer service was somehow worse this time. The girl with the glasses was a sweetie but the other one with the heavy makeup was rude. Asked for a lid, she seemed confused and annoyed so I repeated myself and asked for a lid a second time. She told me they didn't have straws. Not what I asked but good to know? I asked for a lid for the third time, and not sure if she was annoyed from a previous guest encounter but she was quite peeved that she had to take 3 steps back and grab me a lid for my drink. The drink was fine, cold brew with coconut foam, but not good enough to deal with someone's attitude. I've worked in the service industry for 8 years and have never taken a bad day out on a customer or maybe I was in the wrong to asking for a lid! read more

Stopped by Lazybird Coffee for a spontaneous, late morning coffee and it was a pretty good experience. The line was a bit long, but moved fairly quickly. Customer service was friendly and adequate. I thought the space was nice, but a bit too small and cramped. It was quite crowded when I visited, so I had to shuffle around awkwardly while waiting for my order to make room for other customers. However, once the shop emptied out a bit, it was slightly better and felt more comfortable. The menu has a good variety of various drinks, pastries, and savory breakfast items, such as quiche, sandwiches, avocado toast, and even congee. I ordered an iced pandan latte along with a pandan waffle and chai latte. The pandan latte was refreshing and enjoyable, although the pandan flavor was more subtle than expected. I thought the pandan waffle was quite tasty. It was warm, crispy, and definitely had the right amount of pandan flavor I was looking for. My mom shared that the chai latte was a little too sweet. I also noticed a Rose Lychee Latte on the menu and hope to try it next time. Overall, I was satisfied with my order, and am curious to return and try other drinks & pastries in the future. I'd recommend stopping by Lazybird Coffee for a quick drink and breakfast snack! read more

What a disappointment. I'm so sad to say, considering the cute logo as well as other positive reviews but I was just greatly disappointed by it all, especially considering the long drive I made to try this place. Primarily the customer service. Came in on a Sunday morning- it was empty inside, a couple eating outside so I can't even blame it on the business of the store. Upon arrival the cashiers seemed annoyed that we stepped foot inside, we order and are met with very short curt responses. Once it was time to pay the cashier just walked away from the front and I'm left standing there like...ok. The cafe is very small, a table or two inside but they had hydro flasks on the table like they didn't want patrons sitting down. We wait and they put the coffees on the bar and just disappear. Great. Now attitude is one thing but if it tastes good I'm going to look past it. The pumpkin chai was meh. It was ok. I've had way better. Now the honeycomb latte my sister got was just vile. Watery coffee, no honey flavor. We got a third drink since we made it so far, the banana matcha greatly disappointed. The vanilla cold foam had no flavor. The matcha flavor was just barely there, where was the banana? She was not in the room. Needless to say I will not be returning. Really sad considering the logo is so cuuuuute. read more

Went back here for 2nd time. Sadly wasn't able to get their White Chocolate Matcha as we came an hour before their closing. Was able to try their Ube crinkle and triple ginger though. I enjoyed eating the triple ginger cookie more than the Ube crinkle though as I can't taste much of the Ube in it. Their Pandan Latte is still the best one that I have to all Pandan Lattes I've tried. I can still taste the Pandan and I am still willing to commute for it. It's a small cafe but it's a good place to chat with friends. read more

Someone told me they had awesome coffee and sweet treats! I went with the horchata latte (iced) cinnamon notes, not too sweet. Just the way I like it. Chocolate chip cookies were hella good. Probably the best I've had so far in many moons. Chewy, and crispy edges, perfect amount of choc. chips. Whoever came up with this recipe can sell these bad boys alone. Quiet little place on the corner of Central Ave. Parking can be tight. I once went on a weekend and the line was around the corner and now I know why. It's definitely one of the better coffee spots on the West End. If you get a chance get a cookie. You won't be disappointed. read more

LOCATION: Central/Weber PARKING: Limited street parking WHAT WE ORDERED: * Horchata Latte ($5.50) - super sweet and syrupy; takes a while to get past the sweetness and to the coffee itself * Pandan Latte ($5.50) - the best one of the three we had; was moderately sweet, but could still taste the coffee * Rose Lychee Latte ($5.50) - an interesting and acquired taste, not entirely to my liking. this was also too syrupy. Lazybird is a charming coffee shop with fun decor throughout. They have fun drink options that you don't find at every coffee shop. In terms of drinks, they were all too sweet, and they didn't capture much of the coffee taste. I wouldn't return if I wanted coffee. If you're looking for fun and sweet drinks, this would be a better option for you. read more

I truly adore this neighborhood cafe. It's just a few blocks from my Alameda home, and I've become one of their most regular customers. I often bring family and friends, and everyone in the place knows me by name. I've tried most of the coffee and matcha drinks and they are all excellent. But one drink showed up as a special a few months ago and quickly became the #1 go-to drink for both my wife and myself: the Orange Creamsicle Latte. We get it iced and made with oat milk and it is indescribably delicious. I came in earlier this week and was disappointed to learn that the Orange Creamsicle was considered a seasonal special and is gone. Lou, if you're reading this, please bring it back and make it part of the regular menu. Especially since summer's a-comin' and orange is a great summertime flavor! read more

Tried Lazybird Coffee while in Alameda and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so I winged it with getting a Horchata Latte and honestly it was a great decision!! I loved it especially since they added cinnamon on top. I was surprised with the amount of food options they had, and since I went in the morning I got 2x spam musubis and they were still warm! This place only has limited amount of seating (it's a small-ish) place but still really nice and cozy. They had pastries in the front that looked delightful! Would definitely go back!! read more

I might go every morning just for that veggie quiche! it's such a cute local spot that everyone thoroughly enjoys! read more

Lazybird coffee is a charming little spot in Alameda. It is pretty small with only a handful of tables so it's more of a grab and go or quick sit down type of place to chat with your friends. They have an awesome selection of drinks and pastries that make it worth a visit. I tried the Ube Matcha latte which had a nice flavor overall. It wasn't too sweet, nor was it too strong but there were quite a few much of powder chunks at the bottom that threw it off a bit. The real star of the show was the open faced yay choy croissant. OMG!! 10/10! It was so unique and delicious that I'm still thinking about it and already planning my next visit just for that. Service was fine, nothing special, but it wasn't bad either. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's street parking only, so plan accordingly. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to try more of their drinks and pastries! read more

When I charge my car in the AM, I'll typically swing by to pick up Gluten Free Goodies for my daughter. The Pandan Waffle is good. The babingka muffins are great! These taste like your at your auntie's house, and she's made a rectangular cake sheet of babingka. And you rush over to cut a slice of an edge piece because it's crispy and moist all at the same time... well, these muffins are forever edges! Every bite is crispy and moist! I typically get 6... The breakfast sliders look basic. They look like you should be able to make these at home. But, I highly bought I can replicate it. So I just continue to buy! It's the right amount of ham and soft scrambled egg with melt cheese in between a warm Hawaiian roll. The sauce... I'm not sure what it is! Some kind of aioli.. But it pulls it all together! So so good! read more

Such a charming little cafe in alameda. Stopped by to try an iced coffee. But couldn't resist a salmon avocado toast and it was so tasty! Nice fresh ingredients. 10/10.

Can't wait to try more of their menu items. read more

I had a bit of an unpleasant experience that would lead me not to travel all the way over here again. I saw this coffee shop and the logo intrigued me. I drove 45 minutes to get here, tucked in the sleepy Alameda residential. I go inside and was not greeted. The cashier gave off an off-putting attitude and was very blunt. I ordered a matcha and a coffee to compare the two as well as a seasonal pumpkin chai. The inside of the location was small but I thought it was cozy. I later went in to buy another drink to try. Matcha: 0/10. I got the banana matcha and even paid extra for cold foam but it was disgusting. The matcha flavor was barely there and it tasted watery with not even a hint of banana. Horchata coffee: 8/10 delicious. Strong coffee and cinnamon flavor and really tasty Honeycomb coffee: 8/10 also equally delicious though I wish there was more honey-flavor to it. Pumpkin chai: 9/10 decent with good pumpkin flavor, not much of a floral aftertaste from the chai I was disappointed to be greeted worse when I went in for the second coffee so for that reason, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

If it's a dog-friendly cafe, you better believe I'll go! After coming across LazyBird on Yelp and pursuing their menu, I knew I had to come here. Companion and I came on the weekend, and I was a massive fan of the drinks and how dog-friendly they were. The cafe is small in size but super cute and minimalistic. There's about 3-4 tables for those to sit, chat, and work at. Some customers seemed to be working or studying. We agreed we could work from home here. There's also a spot to buss your own dishes, a bathroom, and dog treats! Service was efficient and our drinks came out fast. I love pandan and had to try their Pandan Latte. Their drinks come with double shots but I asked for one shot and Oat Milk. My companion had an Ube Latte with Oat Milk. The pandan flavor was sweet and strong. For ube, it was hard to taste it. The drinks were decently sized for the price. Overall, I love their variety of traditional and creative drinks and food items! Lots of Asian inspired goods which I'm always a fan of. I already know I'll be back with my pup. For those in Alameda and the East Bay, LazyBird is so worth the visit if you have a dog. Everything about it is great. With it located off Central Ave. parking is easy to find around the neighborhood. Can't wait to be back! read more

Lazybird Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

I'm a regular here but I still haven't navigated through the entire drinks and food menu. Here is what I got today: Breakfast Burrito 5/5 I hate that it's premade since it looks like something I made at home. But it's in a warmer and it taste fresh. Basically includes egg, cheese, hash brown, longanisa (Filipino sausage), and non-spicy guac sauce. It was very filling but not the prettiest or biggest portion for $8. I would get it again! Pandan Oat Iced Latte 4/5 I loved the presentation! I tried the pandan from the bottom before stirring it. You can taste the pandan slightly but it's not as bold as I'd hoped. The syrup just made it sweet. I liked moving my straw from the espresso, milk, and pandan separately to taste the quality individually before mixing it through. Once I mixed it through, the drink kept its green look almost like matcha but more like a Wicked musical green rather than a ceremonial deep matcha color. The pandan taste was gone and it tasted more syrup coffee like than actual pandan flavor which sucked for me. I'd still try it again if someone else made it or something. Every barista makes it with their own flare I'd assume. Ube Crinkle 3.5/5 Tasted like it was made a day or two ago since it was mostly too hard for a crinkle IMO. The center was soft but the outside was too crispy. Maybe I got a well-done cookie by mistake even though the outside looked perfect. The ube flavor wasn't as bold as I'd hoped. Contrast to the color, the ube flavor was more on the subtle side. I probably wouldn't try this item again. The best part we love about visiting LazyBird is that it's a 15-20min walk from home on the leisure route so it gives our Pooch, Eloise enough time to do her business beforehand and the cafe is dog-friendly inside and out. There are plenty of doggo moms and dads that bring their furry and not so furry babies to visit the cafe so Ellie gets plenty of pets and playtime. Obviously, will return to try more on the menu. I suggest you hurry over if you haven't tried it yet. read more

We go to this spot probably at least three times every week. The food is 10/10 and they really do their big one in the back. However, the drinks lack consistency. We never know if we're coming in on the right day but when they get it right, it's so good. Just wishing they were more reliable. Today, was just not a good day I guess but that makes two days in a row. Hopefully, things get better soon. read more

It's alright. Don't think two beverages (one strawberry matcha and one tiramisu latte) is worth $18 and some change though...not here at least. Tried to give it another go. Have been here a bunch of times but recently stopped because sometimes they're good, other times okay, and some other times it's a "wth is this?!" read more

Love this place. One thing though, the person at the register never smiles or acts like she is having a good time, lol. It would make coming in that much more pleasant if a customer felt welcomed. Just a thought. read more

Meh this place is mediocre at best if you're a real coffee fan. Tried the horchata latte today and it tasted like bland oatmilk. Had to go home and add a extra shot of espresso. Peets makes a better one IMO. I have had their chai before and that was decent but their coffee/latte's are lacking to me. Maybe next time I will try something else. Girl at the front looked miserable being there. Prob wont be back anytime soon. read more

We were in town for the Art and wine festival. I looked up a coffee shop and this was highly recommended. I noticed that they had a pandam latte. As expected on a Saturday,it was crowded. A good sign. Once inside they had a few different drinks that I wanted to try. There were plenty of people working,so the line went quickly. I only had to wait a few minutes before I was called . The place has seating inside and tables outside. This is a dog friendly shop. Most of not all the outside customers had dogs. There was a water bowl set out as well. My pandam latte was smooth and creamy. It had that sweet pandam taste. One of the better ones that I've tasted read more

My favorite coffee shop on the island. Coffee is great and food selection is even better. Love the spam musubi and my kids love the donuts. 4 stars because the staff here is the opposite of friendly which is such a bummer. They don't even greet you when you walk up to the register. Please train them up or get new staff it's just as important as the food and drink you serve. read more

We were in the neighborhood with friends and found this local gem and decided to try it out. The menu had some good selections of food, bakery items and drinks. We LOVED the latte's (regular and decaf). It was the first time trying this local roaster, https://www.bicyclecoffeeco.com/ We tried the Bibinka muffin, quiche and the Kra Pao. We wanted to try the Ube cookies but we'll save that for next time. It seems like a great local spot with great parking along Central Ave. The inside is very clean and a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seats. The front house service was efficient and polite. Sometimes it can get busy so be patient. If you too are in the area I'd suggest giving them a try! read more

3.75/5 Decent place to head to for your coffee fix but nothing amazing about it. They do have a lot of unique food options such as congee and toasts. Service is good and the ambiance was fine. The place is smaller than I expected and seating is limited indoors, though they have more seating outdoors. Overall, this is like your cute neighborhood coffee shop--pretty decent, but nothing phenomenal. THE FOOD: --Rose Lychee Latte: 6/10 it just tasted like a latte with rose lychee syrup. It wasn't too cohesive. --Horchata Latte: 8/10 this one was pretty good and still had that strong coffee flavor. --Pandan waffle: 6/10 the waffle barely had any pandan flavoring and wasn't all that green either which was different from their display hahaha. read more

Definitely stumbled upon this gem while I was in the area. Cute coffee vibe and the baristas are super patient.

Parking is a little tough. It as manageable and we got our steps in. I would not want to try to get a drink on the quick during peak hours. My cortado was excellent the latte was also delicious.
