    Here's part of my order.
    Diane O.

    First, they are located in a mall so there's parking, which is important to me. Without a doubt, the Lees make tasty donuts. Service is what really closes the deal. A very nice polite young lady helped me with my large order. I will be back. Thanks!

    Lee's Donuts inside Neptune Plaza has probably been here for 30+ years. I used to rent an apartment across the street, and it was a West Alameda favorite already. I have never had a bad experience here. Always a cheerful hello in the morning. Donuts are fresh and delicious! Free parking in plaza lot.

    Food here is good. Service is all right. Ambience is chatter and public. Come here when you want your donut fixed.

    First timer -- and the service was amazing! Imagine an early weekend morning where it is it's busiest and your girl, Kat, is craving doughnuts She opens her trusty, dandy Yelp app and finds, Lee's Donuts. Kat enters and the place is already filled with laughter between customers and staff members. It seems like a joyous place to come first thing in the morning. She shows them a picture of a side cut view of a chocolate chip doughnut and low and behold she finds the last one from the freshest batch. It was still warm! The staff members continue to joke with her just as if she was a regular. She was told that the owner, Lee is sitting right by the window greeting each customer as they visit his store and he was. I love that this is a small town business, still thriving even during COVID. I would say 5 STARS for the service and quality of dough on the doughnut we tried. The bread was soft and fluffy. Not days old tasting like Hometown Doughnuts in Alameda. This particular type of chocolate chip donut also had a chocolate filling inside plus more chocolate chips at the center! What would make this even more amazing is a Nutella filling!!! What sets this shop above the rest is 100% the quality of customer service given. Please consider giving it a visit

    My 1st visit to Lee's Donuts. I went based on prior Yelp reviews. It was a little out of the way from work, and I wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't using Google direction finder. It is situated in a strip mall and partially hidden by the mall's facade. They have a wide variety of Donuts. I also decided to order breakfast for me and my coworker. I ordered the crescent egg and cheese sandwich. I was told the crescent oil hand made fresh every morning. The sandwich was tasty. Next time, I should add bacon or sausage. I also ordered 2 apple fritters. Every was fresh and delicious.

    1465 Webster St Alameda, CA 94501…read more I had a fair experience here on a Sunday morning for breakfast. I had a day planned that included cleaning the garage, so I figured a big breakfast would be good. I walked in just before 9am, and the place was empty. A waitress greeted me and told me to sit anywhere. It's actually hard to pick a table when the place is empty. Cape 7 has a fairly large dining room. It used to be a Sizzler Restaurant. Before Cape 7, it was "Shell Shock." Cape 7 never changed the Shell Shock decor, so it has a nautical theme. A pirate stands guard by the restrooms. So I sat at a booth by the window. I sat back and the bench seat was broken. A gentleman raced over and switched the bench seats. Wow, you have to be careful when you sit down at Cape 7. I ordered a Denver Omelette w/ hash browns, a side of Pancakes, and Coffee. It took about 10-min for my food to come. By 9am more customers came in. After my food arrived, I didn't see a waitress or waiter for 20-mins. Then the owner arrived, and a waitress checked on my table every 5 mins. The Denver Omelette was made with 4 eggs. The serving size was pretty large. The two pancakes were a bit dry. I needed more butter and syrup. Instead, I used alot of jams (that were on the table). The food was okay, I might come back for breakfast again. Off street parking lot in back.

    Terrible. The service was so slow and it wasn't even busy. The server was really nice…read more The nautical theme really threw me off and didn't give me that good of a vibe. The French toast combo was basic. The sausage links were under cooked, the over medium eggs were more over easy and the French toast took too long. As I was leaving at 11 a live band was getting ready to perform. I don't plan to come back.

Service was quiet but attentive, which made the whole experience feel effortless. The food was the real star. We started with the Brussels sprouts (light, crispy, and perfectly cooked), calamari (well‑seasoned and not heavy at all), and warm biscuits with whipped honey butter--so good. The clam chowder stole the show for us: poured tableside, rich but not heavy, and full of flavor. For entrées, the seafood pasta was fantastic, the lobster rigatoni was delicious (just wished for a bit more lobster), the ribeye was cooked perfectly, and the lamb--while tasty--could've used a touch more time. Overall, this place is an easy 5 stars. Beautiful atmosphere, great service, and memorable food. I'll definitely be back to try the dishes we couldn't get to.

Yummy three bites and the butter they served with it was remarkable. The Parmesan tempura Brussels sprouts. Fabulous idea and the taste of the fried part was great. However, under the fry was a very unseasoned and, what appeared to be, a boiled Brussels sprout. It was not a good combo. I ended up stripping the Brussels and just eating the fried part. The pesto gnocchi was good. I would get that again. I would be reluctant to return. I will say the space is nice and our server was kind and attentive. We dined on a Saturday afternoon about two weeks ago.

Located on the corner of Central and Webster, 1400 Bar & Grill has been an Alameda West End staple for many years, and we have been customers for over a decade. The owner Yani is a sweetheart, and very much present day-to-day in the restaurant. He knows all the regulars, and welcomes you in with a warm "Hello friends!". This place is great for any meal of the day, and as a late-night spot. When we come for brunch, I'll usually go with the Greek veggie omelette. When in the mood for pizza, their veggie pizza is honestly one of the best ones I've had - loaded with fresh veggies and in a pesto sauce - noms. They have a very nice patio in the back that's perfect to hang out on when the weather is warmer. If you're into sports, this seems to be a popular spot at which to watch 'the game'. Nice, unpretentious, local-friendly Alameda spot. Check it out next time you're in the area.

He's a regular…read moreand stops by a few times a week for coffee, so I finally decided to check it out myself on a rainy Saturday morning. The place was pretty busy when I arrived, which is always a good sign. I ordered the French toast special, which comes with three pieces of French toast, eggs, and a side of meat. Since I don't eat pork and they didn't have turkey bacon available that day, I ended up getting a piece of chicken with it and a large coffee. The coffee was excellent--a nice big diner-style cup and really good quality. You can tell why people come here regularly just for coffee. The French toast was really good and came topped with strawberries and raspberries, which I wasn't expecting but was a nice touch. The eggs were fresh, and the chicken was flavorful--I added a little Tapatío and it hit the spot. The atmosphere was great too: very clean, welcoming, and the staff were friendly and engaging. The only two small drawbacks for me were: * The portion size felt a little small. I would have loved maybe a couple more pieces of French toast or a slightly bigger portion overall. * There didn't seem to be table-side coffee refills. It looked like if you wanted another cup you had to go back to the counter and order again. Aside from those minor things, the overall experience was very good. I'd give it about a 9 out of 10. I'll definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu--maybe an omelet next time. If you're in Alameda and looking for a good breakfast spot with great coffee, West Cafe is definitely worth checking out.

Including today, on the eve of 2026, to fuel up for a day and night of ringing in a new year. NYE is always a big deal to me as I, perhaps naively, hope for a better year ahead. This is a cozy spot for breakfast or lunch. Cozy, but not cramped. Nicely laid out and tastefully decorated. There is ample seating, inside, as well as on the lovely patio/garden in the back, but it does get busy. The place is popular, and for good reason. The menu has something for everyone: Breakfast plates, bagels and breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, frittatas, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. They have an extensive menu of espresso drinks, so if you like coffee, this is your place. Also, fresh squeezed juices and smoothies, wine, and beer. A hardworking group of people keep this place running smoothly, despite how busy they get. When you visit, say hi to Pepe, and tell him Andrea and Richard sent you.
