    Speechless!!!!! I could be on here all day talking about how great and welcoming these guys are. It's 7:48am on a Tuesday the 12th and the ambiance is so sweet, the guys are very welcoming. They treat you like a human being. They treat like you're Gods favorite that's the best way I can put it! This isn't only today. I've been coming to this location for more than one year and it's always been a pleasure but the last couple of months have been heaven.

    I came here for my birthday drink. I Found parking right In front, and the service was fast. The cashier surprised me with a cake pop for my birthday. I love the music they were playing. I sat outside next to the pier to enjoy some sun. But I didn't like that other customers were smoking near by me, so I had to leave. I would definitely return here next time!

    Wow. Usually Starbucks hires people who tend to have a nice personality. Not here. Every person I dealt with over the last three days had a massive chip on their shoulder. Drinks were done poorly and mobiles were ignored. Also if you want a glass of water - which by California state law they MUST provide if asked - you MUST go through the line even if you did a mobile order. No other Starbucks I go to is this pedantic but it seems Oakland has cup issues so they need to track every cup asked for. If I was coming in here and not purchasing anything and tried loading up on venti waters I could understand - but I shouldn't be given crap by a barista when I just spent $15 on a coffee and pastry. If the store manager or district manager read this - it's time for cleaning up. You know what you are doing by just letting this slide.

    The service is incredibly unprofessional. This woman cussed me out after asking why their bathroom wasn't working. I then got kicked out because I asked for corporate's phone number. I told her that she needs to stop speaking to me unprofessionally and she got angry and proceeded to use cuss words at me and also refused to give me her name or any information. I will be following up with corporate this week.

    Happy to have one near work. Staff members are so nice. Place is clean. View is great (marina in the back). Parking can be challenging though.

    Not only is this the slowest Starbucks around, they will give you a cup of grounds. Awful.

    This is probably the slowest Starbucks I've ever been to. Long waits. Staff that doesn't even acknowledge you then serves you a cup of grounds. Awful.

    This is what they gave me for a Trenta Guava white tea. It taste like green tea with some sugar. Where the fck is the guava juice?

I came in around 8:30, a few tables outside had people drinking their coffees and eating breakfast. When I walked in, only one guy was waiting for his order. There was only one person working.

I understand she was the only one preparing coffee and food. I'm not trying to complain about the wait, but the lack of acknowledging a customer to say it will take some time. I finally ordered an iced latte. I do think they have some creative drinks, but I know they are usually too sweet and I just opt for a plain iced latte instead. It was an ok latte, nothing amazing. They have a bulletin board for people to post their flyers or business cards. There was a card on the board that said A.W.A.R - All woke are retards. I'm sure that's not the view of the establishment. I do think they need to screen the board from time to time.

I have been a regular at Alameda Marketplace's The Beanery off Park Street (since college days LOL), when it comes to coffee & espresso beverages (usually my go-to) - but this small, independent coffee shop is as special as it can get! I was thrilled to make a pit stop here for a fresh cup of joe before I headed to nearby St. Philip Neri's for morning mass - and little did I know that you can hella walk to and from this place to the church with no need to get in your car to drive and park! #lessonlearned Upon my first impression & first time here, I already felt the sense of inclusivity & hospitality, since it seems like a regular place for folks within this part of Alameda - and I have GOT TO try their Vietnamese Coffee on my next visit, LOL. A small coffee shop that bursts to its seams - they have fresh-baked doughnuts & pastries, along with breakfast sandwiches, and other snacks that you wouldn't think of being available at this tiny establishment! Don't let the location and atmosphere fool you - this has been a family-friendly/oriented neighborhood staple amongst the regulars & from what I have skimmed along these reviews.

Mint Iced Vietnamese Coffee ($6ish/5*). Tried this during the last holidays and it was fantastic. I already love Vietnamese coffee and this had a soft cream on top with grated mint candy. So festive and just hit for that season. Wonder if they can do it all year round? Smoked Salmon Bagel ($9.50/4*) Nice toasty smaller bagel with all the usuals of soft lox n cream cheese, capers and red onions. Loved the compact size as it didn't put a lead weight in my gut in the AM hours. The bagel crust tho is kinda hard and brittle, almost crouton hard which I thought was strange. But the interior was indeed soft yet chewy. Iced Cold Brew ($4/4*) Pretty smooth. I only asked for a kiss of cream and it was just right. I prefer a more robust roast finish but still quite serviceable. I liked how the owner knew a lot of the customers by name. Since I'm not a reg, I actually was the only one who didn't get called by name on a weekday morning. Love the small town vibe and even tho not a reg, I'd still hit this up if in the neighborhood.

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.
