    Salmon toast
    Patty P.

    I have been to Mosley's a bunch of times but not since some changes to the exterior and to the menu. We did a long walk from the east to west side of Alameda and stopped by Mosley's for lunch. We had Lox toast and Turkey, Bacon Croissant and both were delicious! Beautiful views and just a lovely place to visit to be by be water. Service was also quick and helpful.

    4.5/5 Overview: Cute little café on the water, Chai Latte was super yum, hidden behind residential areas off of Grand St ---- Mosley's is located on the water right across from Coast Guard Island. It's pretty hidden away and if my friend hadn't recommended me this place I would have completely missed it! I ordered their Chai Latte $5.50 ($6.07 after tax). It was sooo good, the right amount of spice and sweetness (it's on the sweeter side if you're into that, I definitely am!). ---- Notes: - right on the water, so great views - there are seats along the walkway entrance and in the café area itself (10+ seats along walkway, and around 10 seats in the café area) - there are cute nautical-themed bag hooks underneath to hang bags or jackets so they aren't on the floor - the seats in the sun don't have much shade so it can get a bit hot - I prefer their seats in the café area because it's much cooler and the views are still great - there's a self service station with different condiments, utensils, sugar, water, and napkins - service was great, friendly ---- They offer a fairly large range of drinks (mainly cold brews and teas, and alcohol options), food, and sweet treats that I can't wait to try on my next visit! Their coffee is mostly cold brew options, they don't offer any espresso or espresso-based drinks. I subtracted half a star because my only complaint is that they don't have prices written for the items in the pastry case :( To me, it doesn't make sense that wrote a price for their honey ($17), but not for any of their sweet treats. ---- Overall: I'd definitely be back for their Chai Latte and views, hopefully next time they'll have prices listed for their pastries and I'll try some of those as well

    I know Mosley's has been around for a while (40 years) but Alameda keeps getting cooler and cooler after my discovery of this cafe. Enjoyed a latte and pastry on the porch perched above the Oakland Estuary at Grand Marina. Cute and quaint however lots of renovations going on so I look forward to visiting soon. Wine, beer and other snacks are on the menu. Opens 8am daily except for Monday. Check them out !

    Lovely location on the water, friendly staff, fabulous choices for breakfast, snacks, pastries & coffees

    Mosley's was so yummy and had the cutest view. The food was delicious and came out super quick. They also have self serve water and utensils if needed.

    The people here are so friendly and kind. Such a bubbly personality! I had the cold brew cappuccino and my friend had the Carmel latte, he had no complaints about his. I wish my cold brew was just a bit stronger! Usually I get a buzz after drinking 1/3 of any cold brew. This one didn't quite kick. Had the maple bacon focaccia, it was great. Sweet and savory, the focaccia was so soft/moist. Literally almost like a donut! I was happy to try this-- thank goodness I shared! It was a huge piece! Ordered a croissant sandwich bacon and ham, and the BLT was ordered. Solid food, nothing spectacular but nothing was amiss! I had a great time considering the weather, staff, and how easy it was to find parking! I highly recommend outdoor seating.

    This place is very scenic right on the dock of the boats. It was a little bit hard to find but with the trek. The staff were super friendly and the muffins here are amazing. Got a blueberry and cherry muffin with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day.

    To say I adore Mosley's Café would be an understatement. It's a small neighborhood café located at the end of the main pier at Grand Marina, and it's the most friendly, welcoming place. They have a great drink selection--coffee, specialty coffee drinks, beer, and a variety of sodas and non-alcoholic specialty drinks. The pastries and treats are excellent, with options like muffins, brownies, and more. There's also a small but solid lunch menu. My favorite is the turkey grilled cheese--with added jalapeños, of course. The location and scenery are incredible. It's literally at the end of a short pier, right on the water. You can sit and enjoy your coffee, beer, or lunch while soaking in the peaceful, tranquil setting. There's a beautiful view of the marina and estuary, and you can watch kayakers, boaters, paddleboarders, and even Coast Guard ships leaving the island--something I always enjoy since it doesn't happen too often. The people who work there are some of the nicest you'll meet. They know my name, my kids' names--even my dogs' names. I love everything about this place: the ambiance, the location, the views, the service, and the wonderful people who run it.

    A cool little waterfront cafe. Went with a breakfast croissant the first morning with a cup of coffee. It was a good sandwich and hit the spot for me, that brought me back more than once. Its close proximity to the harbor where my boat was moored made it an easy choice while there. Next day, I went for lunch and ordered the BLT with avo it was again an excellent choice and also the grilled Palva pork sandwich to go, both were great on their own. The pork sammich later that evening was an excellent choice for my late day meal. Also tried the chicken salad sando my last day in town and it was equally impressive. A really flavorful, full chicken salad, served on a great toasted bread. They also carry the best ginger beer on the planet, imho Bundaberg... get one Great friendly kind service, solid food options on the small but dedicated to quality menu boards, made fresh to order. I tired a variety of the baked pastries as well, each was really good, the scones outstanding. A cool little cafe a with a seriously great view of the water, coast guard station, and marinas. Look for the harbor master office, the cafe is around back on the water front. 4.5 Stars rounded up for the staff and cool customers I encountered each day 00947

    Very simple meal. Nothing too special to their foods but the view is super worth it with 1-2 friends to accompany you. They're super friendly as well!

    Its our first time to come here and the view is really nice and comfortable while you drink the coffee or tea they have, also they have delicious snacks for your hungry tummy. The employee is nice and helpful too.
