    Drip coffee: 4 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 Passion Fruit Donut We were in town for a soccer match and I needed to grab an early morning coffee while the team was doing their warm-ups. I checked out for a good look of coffee shop and it steered me in this direction. I was there about 8:30 AM on a Saturday morning. There was a decent crowd inside and a small street market at the end of the block. There are a couple tables inside, a few more out front, and a lovely garden sitting area in the back. I was promptly greeted by Steve, or was it Jim? He was wearing a Howler tee. We had some quick banter about the pastries, his tee and my hat. He was friendly, expedient, and professional... Definitely the kind of service that helps create a customer base of regulars. I had come in about 15 minutes earlier to get the drip coffee and someone else helped me out. While they were efficient, they weren't very friendly or engaging. Unfortunately that's what qualifies I was regular service these days. They drip coffee was a medium roast. It was a perfect time and had a nice balance of flavor and acidity. After checking out the offerings at the market I decided to return to the coffee shop to get myself a breakfast treat, having mistaken a passion fruit donut for what I thought was a coffee donut. I had not had a passionfruit donut before, but I decided to give it a shot. Oh my gods. This thing was insanely delicious. At the first bite the filling erupted, offering the sweet flavors of a passion fruit in a crème form. I will aim to keep this review PG, but suffice it to say if a donut could be erotic this was it. If you ever need a donut for a date, THIS is the one.

    I really like the people that work at the signal coffee. I stopped in when I was at the farmers market because I really wanted to paste drink coffee sadly they didn't have many pastries left just a jalapeño scone, which sounded terrible to me even though it looked very good and one other thing the ambience was cool and I love that they had a clean bathroom and a really nice backyard oasis to enjoy your coffee in. Parking is a little bit tricky on Webster Street, but you can find it on the side streets.

    I Always get a dirty chai here. A treat since it's pricey! Got a cinnamon roll and crème brûlée donut. The coffee is 5 star while the pastries are 3 stars.

    I don't understand why a small coffee is $4.50. I brought my own refillable mug which she so kindly filled and was gonna charge me $5.50 but I told her just give me less and I'll do $4.50. The coffee isn't organic. There's nothing significantly different about it. But I was there so I purchased the coffee. They have this cashless system. I'm wondering if that's why their products are so much more than other coffee shops. So when I'm paying $4.50 for a regular small coffee I expect all the amenities: turbinado, sugar, or raw sugar, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. But they just had the regular plain sugar out which I don't like it all. It actually causes me to have a reaction cause it's so depleted. I saw no honey in sight. So I asked and luckily, she gave me some honey that they had behind the counter. I felt bad because it was almost empty, but I got what I needed for my coffee. She said she gave me a little bit extra coffee since I'm using a refillable mug, which was nice. That's the two stars. I will not come here again. I have been wanting to try it out because this shop has been here a few years and it was close to my work today. But $4.50 for a coffee when I can get better quality organic coffees for on average three dollars and at one of my favorite spots in Oakland for $1.50! Maybe this cashless thing is making things more expensive. With this economy especially, I think it'd be better to go back to cash and pay lower prices. Some pluses, nice seating area outside in back and in front, compostable utensils and packaging, good looking pastries ... though I didn't dare ask the cost of those.

    Stopped in for a Mexican Mocha while in the neighborhood. It was delicious! The space was quaint and full. I liked the coffee theme wallpaper that's on the wall! I will return again, likely for another Mexican mocha soon.

    This is Dulce de Leche LATTE!

    The coffee had really great flavor, but we were a bit disappointed that it wasn't served as hot as we requested. We came in closer to closing time, so we understand the team was getting ready to wrap up, but the customer service felt a little rushed. Since we were still paying customers, we expected a bit more politeness and attention. Overall, the coffee itself was decent, but the experience could have been warmer -- both in temperature and in service. Have a really cute outdoor space to work throughout the day . I wish they would expand their hours.

    Good coffee shop that also serves some bagels and pastries. There's a patio area in the back with more seating. I grabbed a coffee to go and it was tasty and satisfying

    Cute local coffee shop. There are seatings inside and they provide wifi so it seems like a great place to get work done. They also have a outdoor patio area in the back, which looks like a nice, relaxing hangout spot. I got a black sesame latte, which is their signal espresso with choice of milk and their housemade black sesame syrup. I thought the black sesame flavor was not enough and the coffee flavor wasn't strong either. I would come back to give other drinks a try and to chill in the outdoor patio area.

    First time trying SIGNAL Coffee Roasters! I went on a Saturday afternoon. There was a small wait. I ordered an iced mocha and I enjoyed it. There is an outdoor seating area which isn't made apparent at first glance. I think it makes this place a hidden gem. The staff were nice and quick to make my drink. Nice interior and garden. I'll be back!

    Ube LATTE

    Was walking to the food place my friend and I decided to get lunch at when we walked past this coffee shop. After eating lunch, we went back to this and tried their Ube Latte. I've been in search of a good Ube Latte but sadly this didn't meet the taste that I'm looking for an Ube Latte. I like the patio at the back. It' was quiet when we came and it's also has a cozy vibe.

    Came by around 2pm on a Sunday and the place was pretty empty. Ordered a black sesame latte half sweet, but it didn't have any sesame flavor--or coffee flavor either. Mostly just tasted like milk. That said, the outdoor patio is really nice--shaded by trees, hanging lights, and a small fountain. Super peaceful and relaxing. A few tables inside as well. Staff was friendly and drinks came out in a reasonable time. I'd come back to do some work or chill outside, but probably wouldn't order any lattes.

    Dulce de LATTE and CAPPUCCINO

    5/7/26 Thursday: I always get the dolce de latte here, and the baristas today make the best one!! I didn't get their names, but whenever one or both of them are here, the drinks are always soooo good!!!

I had…read morea dirty matcha (made deliciously) with almond croissant (perfect amount of crisp to it) and both were divine!

    Got the spring mint mocha. About 1.5 years ago, a staff made it here for me ... it was so…read moredelicious.. and I have never had it taste the same unfortunately. But it's a standard coffee. I absolutely LOVE the original mochi muffin. The mochi texture is my favorite because of how bouncy and chewy it is. Prices are $$$ for their pastries and coffee but I do like how it's in Alameda. I would like to note the baristas are nice and they know the regulars which I can tell because they did not greet me at all. You can def see how they greet the regulars versus the other customers as I was waiting for my drink. When I walked in - Not even a hello, or I'll get to you soon. I stood there just waiting and I can obviously tell they're busy so that's why I am waiting - but it would have been nice to be greeted. The two baristas had time to make random small talk as I waited and nobody greeted me still. When she was ready to take my order it felt a bit awkward because still not really a greeting. I'll def come back for the muffins but if I have to stand around awkwardly then I'm going to leave next time lol

    My business colleague invited me to catch up with him this week in San Francisco. Living in the…read moreneighborhood he recommended we meet at Andytown Coffee Roasters at 181 Fremont Street adjacent to the Saleforce Park. I took an Uber which dropped me in front of the correct building location, however, I had in minds eye remembering seeing a coffee shop in the Salesforce Park so I inadvertently went to that coffee shop. WRONG! After realizing my mistake, I texted my colleague and we were able to connect IRL on Andytown Coffee Roasters on the 7th floor. The shop is HUGE and since it took a few minutes to circle back my friend ordered me a medium coffee ahead of my arrival which was great given there was a long line by the time I arrived. The coffee was very nice and I appreciate the taste and warmth. After about 45 minutes we left the ACR shop and walked in the elevated Salesforce Park which is stunning urban designed. The only comment I would mention is the noise volume levels were loud given there were 20-30 people in line to order and talking. Not a big deal, we moved to two very comfortable sofas a few feet away or could have gone outside since there is many options inside and outside to enjoy the space. I took several photos of my visit and when I am back in the area will definitely go back and try their menu. Don't forget to leave time to causally stroll around the magnificent shaded garden 7 stories above the street! Enjoy!

    I honestly love the vibes of this cafe and it's a great study spot, but that couldn't even save it…read more I came on a Tuesday afternoon to try their matcha. They have a seasonal Strawberry Matcha Latte, and I have never felt this disappointed in a drink before. The drink barely had any matcha and turned grey after mixing. The strawberry was overly sour. You can see from the color that they used the most oxidized matcha ever. The drink really tasted like iron mixed with something sour. I hope they taste their drinks before selling it. Maybe other lattes are better but honestly this was just way too disappointing.
