    Delicious Vietnamese coffee & variety pack of macaroons
    Isabel O.

    Friendly & fast service. Delicious Vietnamese coffee hot. Tasty macaroons. Nice place to sit down and enjoy.

    I love the Vietnamese coffee here and the French ham baguette sandwich, to die for! One of my go to cafe in alameda. Must try.

    My happy place with a trusted 20ox London fog second to none.

    What an amazing spot for a delicious drink - my poison is their London Fog 20oz $4.90 just the right balance between all the flavors. You can add to this the delicious oat cake or macaroons. It is also a popular place for their hot sandwiches and bagels. We also get our decaf organic coffee whole beans from there. Service is super efficient and warm. Plenty of space for you sit and such a warm conversational cozy feel.

    SF Bagel
    Nadav M.

    The SF bagel on everything. The seasoning on the everything bagel was a little off and a little bit. It was burn a bit. Good amount of cream cheese (plain) Tomatoes and bacon. I enjoyed the touch of the pepper seasoning. Tomatoes were very fresh and cold. Overall it blended well and tasted great for a snack. Vibe is a bit off since it's inside a grocery store. Complimentary water.

    Great cafe nestled in the Alameda Marketplace. I like to work here from time to time since they have a nice amount of tables Does get a little noisy but I just pop in headphones. They close at 3 but I left about 20 minutes after so it was nice they didn't kick everyone out

    My family loves coming to The Beanery, especially for their spicy chicken panini! It's such a perfect lunch (or anytime) meal. The spicy sauce is really flavorful and not too spicy. The chicken is well cooked and not too dry. And the panini is perfectly toasted. I've gotten coffee from here as well and have never been disappointed. Most recently I also got an Italian soda. It was a little sweet for me so next time I'll ask for less syrup. But I still really liked it! They have SO many flavors available, I almost didn't know which to go with. If you need somewhere to start, you can't go wrong with orange (it's basically just an orange soda). Parking in the lot can be tough - there are plenty of spaces but it is shared with all the other businesses and restaurants. I would recommend parking on the street or in the neighborhood nearby as The Beanery is on the farther end of the market, away from the lot. They've got lots of tables, both inside and outside, if you plan to stay awhile. I even noticed a lot of people with their laptops, getting some work done. The cafe is accessible on its own from the outside but you can also get there by going through the market.

    they should definitely work on the quality of the coffee it tasted like hot black water.

    Cute little spit inside a food hall. People love their coffee cause the line was quite long! We also got food which were some bagels and they were pretty yummy after our little morning walk over the bridge. Nice area so definitely take the food on the go and explore the city or just have a nice little sidewalk patio meal!

    I had the vietnamese coffee and lox bagel. The vietnamese coffee didn't taste as strong compared to the usual. It was still good and kept me awake for a while. As for the bagel, I found it a bit too firm. This place isn't big, but there's a good amount of outlets which make it nice for studying.

    First Time Visit/Review: I liked my iced Chai Latte with Oat milk but I would've liked it spicier even if I specified with the order taker. The Bacon Brie Egg Bite Sandwich was delicious -- must get. Crispy English Muffin with fresh egg & bacon baked together. The decor in the cafe was like a donut shop with glass display cases showing the pastries, bagels, scones etc that they had to offer with a menu board posted up in the back. I loved that there were enough individual tables and chairs for studying with electrical plugs for laptops. The tables were wooden glass framed with fresh coffee beans encased in for appropriate decor which was cute. Definitely will revisit! Please try out the Beanery!

    Nice community cafe, people of all ages come to this cafe to hang out or work (there are lots of outlets). It's your classic American cafe, with coffee beans incorporated in the table, dark wood furniture, warm colors, and cozy art on the walls. You can tell it's been around for a while. My friend and I had the Vietnamese coffee, which was sweet and although I agree with other reviews that it's not as strong as other Vietnamese coffees I'm used to having it's still a good amount of caffeine especially since we ordered a large! I was very pleasantly surprised to see that this cafe is able to keep their prices down. Come here for an affordable latte! Plus they've got plenty of sandwich items too! It's inside of a market area so is a lot of other eateries and grocery shopping you can do while you're there. We saw the tea shop next door start to set up for their anniversary celebration, so it was cute to see the tight knit community here.

    Excellent food - a definite must try! We were in the area and my daughter highly recommended this…read moreplace. I ordered the Charred Lemon Garlic Fried Chicken Sandwich.

Hubby got a Black Garlic Fried Chicken Sandwich with Fried Chicken Thigh, Black Garlic Sauce, House Pickles & Pear Slaw on toasted brioche bun. He enjoyed it but it wasn't filling enough for him. So note, if you're 220 lbs or so, or if you have a bigger appetite, you might want to order a second sandwich or get the Fowl Fry Combo instead. Sandwiches run about $17 - totally worth it though. Savor every bite, and you won't be sorry!

Fowl + Fare operates from a small storefront right next to the Shanvi Indian Grocery store on Santa Clara Ave (near Broadway). This place is either takeout or eat outside on picnic tables. I took my food to-go. I had the Citric Hot Chicken Sandwich w/ Seasoned Fries. I liked the Citric Hot Chicken Sandwich. It was spicy, but not numbing hot. The slaw sort of smoothed out the spicy heat. It's made from thigh meat, so it's moist and easy to eat. I didn't like the seasoned fries. They cut the potatoes into thin fries that don't travel well as takeout. Probably okay if you ate them right there, fresh from the kitchen. If I go back, I'm just getting a sandwich.....no fries.

We usually order rice & beans, yucca frita, and occasionally an agua fresca. This time we ordered a strawberry & lemonade, super yum & perfect amount of tart & sweet.

The white rice is the best restaurant rice I ever had, I wish I could make it like This at home lolol. Overall, the food here has always been delicious.

And I will definitely get the drink again!! Hee

My dad wanted everything on his sandwich as well as lite mustard and etc and the lady who makes the sandwiches wasn't listening and kept trying to say she got it and she's working on it. I've worked in food service for years and it is important to hear what a customer is asking for because after all, it's their food. We got home, no tomatoes, sandwich was missing stuff, my boyfriend's sandwich was missing stuff. It was disappointing. My father was very upset. I think they could be more friendly as well as being more adapting to certain people who are just communicating a specific need or want in their purchase. We will be calling later in hopes to remove or change this review. Thank you.

The staff was cordial and friendly, and the chicken-themed decor, charming. Now it IS a chicken joint, the go-to chicken spot for my full carnivore friend. He loves them for their chicken, their inexpensive menu and their large portions. I'm mostly pescatarian, though I do sometimes cheat with bacon. (I always feel SO guilty afterwards too!) I ordered the honey mustard salad with bacon and no chicken. My friend ordered the chicken Mac n cheese and tater tots. The bill came up to $30, and the portions were good on on the salad, GREAT on the tater tots and decent on the chicken mac. I can't speak personally on the chicken but my friend says it's amazing. I tasted some of his Mac n cheese with no chicken, and it was really good and flavorful, nice and cheesy. I tasted his tater tots. They were plentiful, well-seasoned and fried to golden perfection, with a nice crunch. I ate all of my salad.

The fries were decent, but likely just some standard frozen fries. The ranch was also really good, but $.50 each small sized cup. My biggest gripe was the service and the state of the restaurant. In the booth we sat in there was an electrical outlet is hanging out of the wall and the booths are in need of cleaning. We had to use the bathroom, and the soap was out. The staff member brought a new one, but didn't know how to install it so it just sat on top of paper towels. Not a huge deal but bruh, figure it out. The guy was nice enough, but just sat and watched his phone when no one was at counter. There was also another guy, maybe from the kitchen (?) hanging out behind the counter sometimes as well. All while tables needed wiping, the bus tub was FULL with dishes, or either of them could have tried to get the soap installed. If there was no one at counter or food to cook it was stand around and stare at our phones. It's just sad Just a subpar experience for as much as food costs these days. Train the staff to stay busy and know how to bus tables and clean. And if you ever order the BLT chicken sandwich make sure to ask for no BBQ sauce. Yuk.
