They would not accept my own personal cup and fill it with my hot beverage. (Claim it's because of Covid, but 95% of the cafe's I have visited fill up my cup.) So I didn't get a hot drink.I ordered a toasted bagel with cream cheese and when I went to eat it, it was not toasted.I went over to the cafe at whole foods across the street and they happily filled my personal cup.
Beautifully hand crafted sandwiches, daily fresh made baked goods and pastries paired with locally roasted coffee....all tasting amazing! Add to it friendly staff and cozy ambience which attracts people of all walks of life. I recommend trying this place and experiencing its charm while helping support a local small business.
Greeted by a swarm of flies as you walk through the door, you proceed to order from a barista who gives you a dirty look when asking a simple question about a drink that has a vague name. We watched as they poured water from the Brita into my cold brew (props to them for not using tap water). Needless to say the “cold brew” tasted disgusting and watered down. My girlfriend’s vanilla latte was comprised mostly of milk and virtually no vanilla syrup.
Got a raspberry danish and a creme brûlée matcha latte. The danish was pretty good, but the matcha latte was just pathetic. Almost all if not all of the matcha powder was at the bottom, unmixed into the drink. It basically tasted like milk with the hint of matcha. For $5.50 for a medium I honestly expected the power to be at least mixed in a little. I’d go here for the pastries again, just not the tea.
Such a great place to get amazing breakfast! And the people are so welcoming and nice. Try Rays Breakfast on a croissant. It won’t disappoint!!
My friends and I waited an hour and a half to get our 3 bagel orders and 3 coffees. They forgot about our coffee order 30 minutes into waiting and we had to remind them. We waited as everyone else was served and were told they were understaffed even though we saw 4 associates behind the counter. At some point we were the only ones remaining except for one more table who had come after us and were served, and it still took another 40 min for our order to come out. It took this long even though we had expressed several times we were waiting and were constantly told "5 more minutes".When we finally did get our food order, I realized that one of the orders was wrong when we got home. It was supposed to be a simple caprese avocado bagel and they had forgotten the pesto and the bagel was stale and untoasted. ~$16 for this!The owner did give us a 50% off coupon on our next order but there is no way we are coming back. Terrible food and terrible service for an overpriced product.
Really convenient location in the Alameda and friendly, helpful staff. My decaf Americano was fresh and flavorful and the accompanying treat that I got was different from anything that I’ve had before which was a nice surprise! It was the almond danish I believe and warmed up tasted incredible. Plenty of seating both inside and outside!
No toilet provided for customers even if you are eating there, coffee is good and also their breads
Very disappointing. The cappuccino is very bland, I can barely taste coffee. The bagel texture is off and, despite ordering a cream cheese and jam bagel, after a long wait I’ve been handed a pb&jelly one.
