Love coming here on the weekend! Not too busy and not too loud. I always get a croissant and the fresh fruit. My husband gets a breakfast burrito and the peach pastry. Usually spend around $15 with coffee. We always leave satisfied. read more

Went here with a few friends and thought it was a beautiful setup. You have the option to sit inside or outside. Unfortunately, the food wasn't all that great. I ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and it was the driest thing ever with barely any pesto. Considering it took a good 20 minutes to come and cost around 8 bucks, I expected a lot more. Won't be coming back, maybe for coffee though. read more

Very disappointing. We ordered a breakfast plate and a sandwich. Neither order was correct and the food was cold & soggy. The service was very slow. Only perk was a good mimosa. read more

This place is so far my favorite place for everything -- be it hot chocolate or lunch or brunch or snack and and it has never disappointed me ! The people here are friendly, the cafe looks modern and contemporary. Love it! read more

We come here often since we stay on our sailboat in Alameda. Breakfast is great and the price is right. The orange juice is fresh squeezed. Lattes are excellent. The sausage for breakfast is good as well. They have pastries and even some gluten free cookies and brownie. The back patio is a great place for kids and our dog was welcome back there. Highly recommend this place. read more

Everything was awesome start to finish. The friendly greeting with our orders to the water Louis crushing it with his chipper attitude and on point service. And the food. It's hard to believe that you can get food this good for so cheap in the Bay. I got the breakfast plate done to perfection from the eggs to bacon. My wife had the breakfast burrito with a chorizo that isn't the super salty mess most places have, but packed with flavor. Top this off with some great coffee and you can't go wrong. 10/10 will come again. read more

Wonderful spot for coffee and breakfast. Lots of choices. We had an almond croissant, brkfst burrito, very very good

Always busy on the weekends here. Very nice staff and easy counter ordering. I love their works bagel and I heart you juice the best. But I have had other things and always tastes very good and fresh. read more

In my week of "Eating Alameda" before I head back to Austin, I had a late breakfast with a friend who frequents this spot. I've mostly stayed on the Park Street side of the Island, and this was my first time at an eatery on Webster. The interior is very "modern," yet lets the "oldness" of the building shine through. I applaud that. Can't stand places that wipe out all traces of the fact that it is an ancient building. They did this right...it's one of the things I love about this Island of Alameda...they respect their history and heritage here. So for them to "modernize" the interior of this building without making it into a cold and impersonal (read that as "uncomfortably trendy") space gets points from me. After chatting with my friend for awhile, I turned my attention to the menu. She's friends with the proprietors, and introduced me to Oscar when I went up to the counter to order. Very nice folks! I'm one of those guys who can eat breakfast any time of the day. Even tho' it was a bit past noon, I ordered their breakfast burrito with spicy sausage, and a small regular, black coffee (I'm also one of those people who is passionate about the fact that coffee should be enjoyed black and that putting anything in it is sacrilege). My first sip allayed my fears that they might not be using "good" beans, but it tasted fine...a good, full-bodied dark roast. Just what i like. The breakfast burrito arrived quickly, and I've gotta say, it was impressively sized. Wrapped in paper and sliced in half, I could see what had to be the fluffiest eggs I've ever seen (aside from my own). My friend told me that they use the espresso machine to somehow fluff the eggs up to an incredible consistency (I whip mine with half-and-half to get that fluffiness). The spicy sausage (which I've come to understand y'all out here in California call "Linguisa") was tasty, the eggs perfect, and the tortilla it was all wrapped in nice, thin, and tender. Snarfed that puppy down and finished my coffee. There was also a case full of yummy-looking sweet treats, but my friend said that these same folks had opened a little ice-cream shop a few doors down, and that they will make you a "cookie ice-cream sandwich"...I voted that we must go and check that out! I will definitely keep Wescafe on my list of places to eat once I move out here...it was definitely a good introduction to the Webster Street side of The Island. read more

Excellent customer service, every employee I've met here has been super nice. Good coffee and lots of food options. I've only been in the morning time. The breakfast burrito is very good, and the eggs benedict are also great. read more

Amazing BLT, Amazing Tomato Bisque Soup, Amazing Beer Selection, and Amazing Friendly service. A must Visit!!!!

Love this place! Good coffee, excellent breakfast, and friendly people. This place is a home away from home - a little like Cheers, but without the beer nuts. Try the breakfast burrito with bacon - simple, delicious. read more

Great breakfast food, casual vibe, trendy interior and good service. Some favorites of mine are their cappuccino, americano, egg sandwiches and oatmeal. My husband is a big fan of the chorizo burrito. This place is worth checking out. read more

This place is amazing! Definitely try a lavender latte while you are here! My friend had the Nutella and strawberry, and I had the smores, both were delicious!! read more

I went there today with my boyfriend for breakfast. We ordered and were waiting for the food. The place was busy and shortly my boyfriend got his order. I saw other people who were seated after us and received the orders while I was waiting, I was disappointed, my boyfriend was finishing his breakfast and I was still waiting for mine. When I asked him to cancel my order, the waitress finally came with my food. I accepted that but wasn't really happy. read more

I love this place, the staff is super nice and really consistent. I even forgot my wallet and instead of turning me away they just told me to stop back in later that day which was great because I was with friends meeting up for lunch. The breakfast burritos here are particularly amazing. I cannot wait to be back read more

Wescafe - Delicious chorizo breakfast burrito! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

This was pretty good before the move, but today sealed their rep as a no go for lunch. I ordered a lunch combo with half a chicken sandwich and green salad to go. I waited more than 25 mins for a salad with very little dressing (too dry) and a soggy, really small sandwich. Very disappointing. read more

Called in my lunch order at 11:55, 2 tuna sandwiches, 1 spicy sausage and 1 BLT. The woman asks me when I want to come and get it and I ask when will it be ready, she says ten minutes. I tell her I will be there in 15. I arrive at 12:05 give her my name and she says "they're working on it". I then watched them make my order for the next 20 minutes! I get my bag, look to check the order and 1 sandwich is missing. Then one of the guys comes running over with the last sandwich. Not the end of the world, but frustrating to say the least. But wait, there's more... Get back to the office, hand out everyone's order, the tuna looks like cat food with diced onions some the size of quarters (I'm not kidding), the bacon on the BLT was obviously cooked in stacks so that the middle pieces were not fully cooked. It was so bad that one co worker took hers back for a refund and the other tuna got tossed after two bites. I ate about a third of the BLT before I noticed the under cooked bacon and threw that away too. Through all of this, not one apology! We won't be back. read more

I always buy coffee here every morning and that every morning means I gotta talk to the staffs there. Too bad, the staffs there aren't really friendly and approachable! They just take my orders like: What's yours? And then turn their back to do the other orders. And then when Im already in the cashier, they gonna ask me again what's my order. This afternoon, I ordered a Chocolate frappe and the cashier/barista (he got all the job i think lol) made me a vanilla frappe! Told him that I said chocolate and he said "Okay theres no problem with that we'll change it" and then, he winked at me without even saying sorry for the mistake! When I left the store because it is for a to go, the frappe that i've ordered tastes Coffee!! Yes I hate coffee that's why i ordered chocolate. I dont have the time to go back again because I already left! Also he forgot my other order - the house blend coffee! I just reminded him about it. Ugh!! Plus the Sandwich that I ordered, the egg was i think just microwaved (is it that hard to cook again or poach some eggs whatever) and it doesnt really look appealing at all even if its a to go. Its like he put the egg, chicken and cheese. Just that. And voila, that's my order. read more

Wonderful place and delicious food! Love the sandwiches, smoothies and breakfast items. They always have delicious fresh squeezed juices and the service is great (went out of their way to help us). The place is spacious and they have a great outdoor seating area. Will definitely be back here. Thanks! read more

Have been for lunch with the family several times and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh and on the gourmet deli style. The staff is always very professional and friendly. The service is prompt. The decor is appealing and the cafe is always clean. Great go to spot. read more

As I took my first bite of eggs benedict, I looked down at my plate in confusion to be sure that I hadn't in fact accidentally taken a bite out of a lemon. To call the presence of said tart fruit in the hollandaise 'overbearing' would really be an understatement. Sadly, I turned to my potatoes for consolation, but none was to be found in the undercooked oddly seasoned lumps of disappointment. Even the coffee, served in a glass (so no refills, not that you'd want one) tasted burnt. I left hungry and disappointed. read more

I love this place :) Dependble food. Lovely service by the woman who owns the place.

I went to Wescafe because they offer free wifi so I thought I could work there, but if that's what you want, go to Peets or the library because Wescafe discourages working on your stuff there. I tried to for 10 minutes today and they harassed me, because I didn't make my purchase fast enough, or because they just don't want that there. I went there about a month earlier and had a yogurt bowl w some fruit that costs approx 5 dollars. (That was good though.) The story: I sat down at a dirty table with some jelly, egg and someone's apple juice bottle on it because it was the only one next to a plug on the wall that wasn't occupied. I set up my computer and got ready to work. I actually started to feel like this was unwelcome but I didn't know why. There was a long line at the register of about 8 people so I waited to get anything, looked at the menu on the wall, and read my book. About 10 minutes later one of the barista's comes up to me and in a sweet voice says "I see you've got you're stuff all set up here and I'm wondering if you're going to buy anything." I was kind of insulted at the question even though he was nice about it. He was obviously being forced to do it. Now that's pretty much tantamount to "open your wallet or get the *$)#( outta here!" I told him I was a customer there before and he said "ok, alright," with some hesitation and walked off. Then the lady behind the counter kept staring at me. I was wondering why, what the big deal was but was feeling unwelcome energy and stayed for a few more minutes before I started to pack up to leave. I had only been there for ten minutes or less and they were treating me like this. It actually felt like people's descriptions of racism in the south or something. I tried to chill, and just walk off but thought I should probably tell them that was wrong, because I never really do that, and well, this was wrong! Why would they treat people like this. So I walked up to the bar and told the guy in so many words "Hey bro, I won't be coming back here again." He gave me the hand, literally and was smiling like I was some crazy person he couldn't deal with. Then the barista lady comes over and asks me if "there's a problem." I said "I was here for ten minutes, there was a long line.. ect" but in retrospect, why should I be in such a rush to buy something? Peets doesn't do that me.. I don't like Starbucks, but they don't either. So the lady responds with "you came here and brought your own food" so I had to tell her that "it was your dirty table." Maybe she should pay more attention to the cleanliness of the place instead of which customers are rushing to the cash register to feed her coffers. She seemed shocked. Seems like "family" owned in this particular case is precluding professionalism and basic decency. Why are the customers suspect of wrongdoing the moment they sit down in the place? She said "there are other clean tables you could've sat at." I finally said "you don't need to harass people" She became defensive saying "it wasn't harassment it was just a question." Perhaps, but maybe ask me that if I've been there for a couple hours and it's rush hour with no empty tables or something. By her own admission, she told me "there were other tables you could have gone to" when I said it was dirty. Conclusion: If you go to Wescafe make sure you have your wallet open and don't plan on staying there and working with your laptop or even reading a book like I was, because at this "wi-fi" spot you are discouraged to do anything but order real quick and get the @*% outta there! read more

Love love love this place. I always get their eggplant sandwich and Greek salad. It's to die for. Those are just two of the many yummy tasty selections they have. If you are in the area it's worth checking out. Customer service is excellent and their outdoor patio is so adorable and so relaxing and peaceful. read more

I love what they call their banana beignets. Delicious! But if you were expecting beignets, you might be disappointed so just be prepared to enjoy the delicious banana fried dough. Their other breakfast items are pretty good as well. Good size for breakfast, at least the hot food. I've haven't tried their huge pastries. Service could be improved, both in friendliness and efficiency. read more

the food and coffee here are great (the breakfast burrito is where it's at!). however, they over cooked my friends poached egg -- not sure how that is possible. the out door patio was gorgeous (so was the inside but the inside was a bit noisy). i love the spaciousness and it's seems like a great place to work from wi-fi. the only big problem i had was when the barista tried giving me an americano in a glass without a cover or handle.... i'm not sure that was thought through... read more

I love Wescafe! The staff is ALWAYS so friendly. The food menu is so affordable and give large portions. Great back patio! Beer and wine is served and a great tv if you are interested in watching a sports game. It's a quick and easy spot cafe style things, not fine dining but that's not what they are trying to do. What they are doing and aiming for is perfect! read more

Love this place!!! It's hard not to. It's such an easy-going no-frills hip, modern, clean, cute place, and the food is delicious. The owners are always cheerful and good-hearted. They make you feel welcome, no matter what you do - if you came to eat a big meal and hang out with your laptop, or just stopped by for a quick coffee and a chat with the neighbors. They remember who you are, and even if they don't, they will treat you like if they do. It's a neighborhood joint. They make a killer omelette, delicious sandwiches and fresh fruit salads. They have healthy food that is delicious and delicious food that is healthy. Kids are always welcome here, so it is always a great place to go for families. Definitely my go-to place on Webster! read more

I like the look of the café, and the spaciousness, esp. if you're going to sit down and eat. I had a lunch there (salad) one day and that was good. I had a breakfast and it was mediocre, at best, and pricey for what it was. It was a holiday Monday, but they weren't serving brunch (bad call on their part; there was a long line of people who wanted brunch), so I don't know if their brunch items are more tasty and inventive as others say they are. I'll go back for lunch if I'm around there and meeting a friend. read more

The breakfast and sandwiches sucks. They charged restaurant price but McDonald taste. Not worth it.

Since this is one of the few places on Webster that serves a decent brunch, I go often. So this review is based on dozens of visits. The service is...hard to describe. Calling it "disorganized" would be very charitable. There is literally no process for doing anything. None. There are usually half a dozen people running around behind the counter, bumping into each other, and--almost comically--hovering over an order frantically trying to figure out what it means. It's barely-contained chaos. The worst Starbucks still gets twice as much done, twice as quickly, with half the staff. My advice: Prepare to wait 15 minutes, even if the line is relatively short. And vow not to get frustrated. read more

Great atmosphere, good food. Nice place to meet if you want a nice atmosphere. In the morning, the outside seats are in the shade, on the sidewalk. Great place to watch activities on the street. read more

My breakfast burrito was fine, but I also went here specifically for the wifi and they do not allow access to most websites. So unless you're just trying to check facebook, you're not really going to get much work done. :( read more

Came in a few days ago with my son, our first time. Food was good and fresh. Loved it all. I wasn't sure if we were suppose to clean up our plates, so we left them. I'm sorry if we were suppose to put them somewhere! We will be back for more read more

Great Sammies and super personable staff. Delicious coffee.... Clean restrooms. The works! Sometimes it gets busy and the tabletops need some attention but... Come on guys! Nothing to complain about! Except... (gasp)...they have very liberal cilantro policies. Sprinkling it in places where it doesn't belong! Still, consistent and yummy. read more

Great cafe in Alameda! Visited for breakfast on a Saturday and received top notch service from a friendly staff. Their coffee is great and the food is very reasonably priced. I didn't order any, but the pastries looked delicious. read more

I booked a private party for my husband's birthday on a Saturday night after closing. I could not have been happier with the results. The owners Monica and Miguel did such a wonderful job with the food, the ambiance and their attention to detail. From the moment you walked in the door it felt so comfortable. All of our guests had such a fun time. Would recommend without hesitation. read more

This is one of those rare coffee shops that does great food as well as coffee beyond the typical muffins and pastries. On Webster street, a quick drive through the tunnel from Oakland. We are locals and this is our go to place for coffee and a delicious bite to eat. We had the spanakopita (Greek quiche) and it was fantastic. The quiche is also great and the salads are fresh. Come on a Tuesday and hit the small farmers market around the corner. read more

I needed breakfast, so I ordered a hot tea and a spinach feta croissant. I watched person after person get their drinks right away while I just sat there. I had to go up and ask for it after 10 minutes. The croissant was made fresh, but there were maybe 2 spinach leaves in contrast to a giant pile of feta in the middle of the croissant. read more
