I've occasionally visited the original Blue Danube on Clement for years. It's one of last "old school" coffeehouses in SF where you can get a coffee and a bite to eat, then just chill as part of a community of locals, without being rushed or pressured. This new expansion retains much of the neighborhood charm of the original Clement location, but adds brand-new furniture and more "elbow room/breathing space" for individual tables. So two thumbs up here! Recommended, and it's ideally located for a nice walk in the Presidio before or after. Pizzeria Avelloni next door is great for a slice to go. read more

Great coffee, beautiful latte art, and the carrot cake is a must. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Cozy vibe, will be back! read more

This long awaited neighborhood coffee shop was way too hot - at least 75 degrees - and smelled of a strong cleaning solution. The faire was sandwiches and pastry and coffee, oh my! Would be nice to have the option of some hot soup in this foggy city but no luck. read more

The Yellow Crush smoothie was delicious. Some seating inside but mostly to go at this new location. So cute!

Dear Blue Thanks for being a great quiet place to go to get my work done. It's not only quiet but you are generous with the outlets and seating seems to always be available. Whenever I go to nearby Starbucks I am always standing and waiting for seats. Not with you. Your drinks seem slightly pricey but hey you got some good ones. My recommendation? Get the HULK but replace juice with soy milk. Trust me its splendid. Try it. If you like it hit Useful :P The lighting is a bit dim for my taste but I understand its to have a certain cafe feel. I think the wifi should be longer esp since there are always seats in here anyway. If I had to camp out to work on something the limited wifi could be bothersome. But hey.. Thanks for being a great alternative to the nearby coffee chains. I will return again.. read more

Came to this place thinking id help the independent coffee shops rather than starbucks or peets which are just down the street. Walked in and saw a bunch o people. Was able to get a table in the middle so of course no outlet plugs near by. Looked around and only saw one in the whole place! Get with technology. Can't study without a laptop and laptops need juice! So I looked at the menu and they have some interesting items 25 cent oreos 5.95 nutella banana sandwich Spinach in a smoothie On the walls they have pretty Nice art work. Two computers in the front to check websites and what not. Probably after your battery dies from no outlet. Came on a Monday night and a band came to perform from Portland oregon. The singer had a wide range of vocals from rock to yodel to opera. Service was just okay. Ordered a strawberry Italian soda. They saw we had laptops but didn't offer the internet code. We had to ask and wait in line to get it. What a hassle. But once online it was fast enough to stream tv shows. Only lasted two hours before session expired and you had to pay for it The lady is a real jerk about giving out Internet codes. Bought two drinks and had two laptops but she only gave us one code. Hellloooo starbucks has free Internet. You gotta compete with big corporations. But no. So forget this tiny place. Never again read more

I just stopped by to get a quick cup of coffee. Looked at the menu and all coffee items were relatively cheap. $2-4 dollars. I got a Single Americano with Hazelnut syrup. So yummy. They're espresso is good quality. The space is large enough with several tables and sofa seating. I was only there for a moment, but I could see myself chilling there with my laptop doing some work. The furniture could use some updating. Maybe just be reupholstered. 3.5 stars. read more

It's a good local place to have a cup of coffee. They've got bench seats with tables, couches, and a chess board. What more does one need. Really quiet place to bring a friend and have a conversation you can actually hear. What a concept. I just came in for a cup of coffee to burn a little time. Happy to have this place here for me to drink my coffee and enjoy the peace I have at this moment. read more

They have a new owner now, quality wise it is pretty much the same the other one (some improvements). To sum up: this still is one of the Best in Alameda if you want a place to Study or use a laptop/Pad in peace. It is mostly quite; good music& free Wi-Fi; it has 20+ individual tables. Families, sane and educated people frequent the place. Lots of them spend a good amount of hours there. I found that most places like Peet's or Starbucks have not enough chairs, and too much in&out (thus noisy). The Quality of coffee/food is good. Disclose: I needed to study like a Super Nerd (say 8-12 hours a day); and found this was, by far, the best coffee to study. Ending up going there everyday for a few weeks before the test. ***(passed the test :) Highly recommend. read more

Blue Danube has a standing signboard in front announcing 8 kinds of drip coffee so that's all this review is about they also have breakfast, sandwiches, and wraps,.. the drip coffees comes in light, medium, or dark roasts. peru organic fair trade was selected. the coffee beans are grounded. the grounds placed in a coffee filter sitting on a rack. hot water is poured onto the grounds. the resulting drips was the coffee. peru organic was a bold taste, with a hint of harshness but overall a smooth brew(8 oz/2).3.75 stars coffee grounds -lots of sofa and table space available -wifi available. unkown if free. -each cup individually brewed. -friendly service. read more

I've come here a few times for coffee and sandwiches. It has a good vibe... there are random older gentlemen who come here on the weekends to play chess. Food: 1. Grilled cheese: cheddar and swiss with tomatoes and aioli. It's a grilled cheese! A delicious one at that. 2. Chili: not horrible, but not the best around! 3. Egg, potato breakfast wrap: Surprisingly good. I'd say go for it. 4. BLAT: Another fail safe. Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. 5. Veggie sandwich: There was a lot of vinegar, but other than that, it was pretty good. The sandwiches here are panini-ed. The bread crispy and delicious, but this does lead to wilted lettuce. Also, they have blue moons here for $4. If you ask, they'll give you orange slices :) read more

I like coming to Blue Danube when I need a change of scenery from Starbucks; also to get away from the high schoolers. I like the drinks at Starbucks better but it gets quite noisy from the blenders and it's harder to get a seat. The staff at the Blue Danube are very friendly and it's much larger and cozier compared to Starbucks. The ambiance is very open and inviting. The coffee and tea selection are pretty good but I do miss my Gingerbread Lattes with Cinnamon Dolce Sprinkles at Starbucks. Overall, cool place to work or catch up on a book. They have free wifi and lots of seating and a few couches. They also have BEER & WINE! I read more

I was looking for a place to study and this seemed like a good place to do it! I usually drop by on Sundays when parking is free around Park Street, and this place usually starts off empty and by noon gets a little more on the crowded side. There seem to always be tables available (which is a luxury!), and it never feels jam packed. Most people are on their laptops, so it's a good place to focus and get your work done. The food itself is actually pretty good! I got the turkey sandwich, and I was pleasantly surprised. It had a lot of flavor, and it was crispy, not rock hard, bread. The drinks themselves are good, not super bitter. I do wish the flavor of the beans came out a little more. That being said, I prefer a smooth latte or a bitter cup any day. This coffee shop isn't as well-lit as most other coffee shops. It's actually pretty dark. I don't know about you, but I actually really like that, especially since I need to stare at my computer screen while I'm there. Love this spot, and it's a good break away from my other study spots. If you've ever been to Lestats on Park in San Diego, you'll know this place is eerily similar! read more

I like the decor, has a hip feel Has lots of different colors like wood grain, brown, green and teal Place isn't cheap, but heard the coffee is OK But given that there's always space, that's 1 reason why I'd stay Food is decent, location is nice The price borders on a premium price Blue Danube is an alright place. It's a refreshing change from the usual starbucks "perfect" feel. It's a little more down to earth, has interesting pictures up on the walls, and has plenty of space. Music selection is more "current" but feels like it clashes a little with the ambiance, but whatever. read more

Needed a place to get some work done, but wanted to avoid the crowd at the local Starbucks. I've always passed by the Blue Danube so I figured why not give it a try. Honestly, I quite enjoyed the ambiance of the place. It was extremely quiet and cozy. There were only a handful of people there, all absorbed into their own work. It's the type of place where you know If you got up to use the bathroom, you wouldn't have to be afraid of someone stealing your stuff. Also, the people look nice enough that if you ask them to watch your stuff for a while, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Overall, it's a really nice place to study or get some work done with minimal distractions. I ordered a vanilla latte, which wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but what I appreciated about the drink was that the star was really the espresso, as opposed to other places where the drink starts tasting overly sweet as the drink begins to cool down. I don't mind that you need to purchase something for the wifi, but the only downside is that the code only lasts two hours, which is understandable, but inconvenient if you're in the middle of something. read more

I hadn't been to my old stomping grounds of Alameda for quite some time. My friend and fellow Yelper, Arlene B. and I met up for lunch earlier...but decided to get out of the rain and warm up. We strolled into the Blue Danube Coffee House and was genuinely taken back by how cool this place was, and is a legit coffee house! From the cool color pallet to the wood grain floors this place has a really cool vibe and rustic decor. And since I'm not in touch with all of the double shot, with whip triple swirl double curl with a twist of sumthin' coffee lingo. The barista was totally down to earth, and spoke to me in plain coffee language that I could understand without an interpreter. So with that said, I'll be adding the Blue Danube to my "must come again" list! read more

Order the "Refresher" drink. It contains cucumber, mint, and apple - easily my favorite thing here. The food is decent, however overpriced and the staff is semi-friendly in an off-beat hi and by kind of way. Old people (mostly) play chess and ramble about politics during their weekend hours which is very cool and offers a community atmosphere to this place. It reminds me of a chill spot in Berkeley, if Berkeley was in Alameda. My only dislike is that, if you plan to be here for a long period of time, you have to request a new "internet code" every 2 hours. WOMP. Just let me live and enjoy my refresher, Danube. read more

Spacious area, but somewhat dark. Couches in the front of the cafe add a little bit of coziness, but otherwise I feel like each customer was in their own universe. Prices were probably fair for the good quality, but higher than I would be able to justify spending on a regular basis. I will re-review if I should ever be in the area again in need of a coffee (but I only bought a snack). Staff was nice. read more

I like that they have a petite cup of coffee as I don't always want such a big cup. I used to enjoy coming here more. It seems like they changed owners as there are new people behind the counter. Used to be owned by some Latinos now seems like it might be owned by an Asian family. That's all cool. I like to support family owned small businesses. But I came in here about several months ago and I needed to do some work on my computer so I connected with the Wi-Fi. I was having a especially hard day and I thought that it would be nice to have a glass of wine as I did my work. I asked for a glass of Chardonnay and there were about four people behind the counter. One might've been an older adult and the others younger, maybe in their 20s. What was weird is that nobody responded when I asked for a glass of Chardonnay. In fact, they started giggling. And I recall that the older adult looked awkward. It was as if they did not know how to pour a glass of wine. Did they think I was an alcoholic on a binge? I just wanted a glass of wine to sit while I typed at my computer. Finally someone responded as I just stood there and looked at all four of them and they look back at me. Someone finally got me a glass of wine but it all felt very awkward. If you sell something don't get weirded out when someone actually wants to purchase it. I've been dry since then. It's been about three months. I might go on a binge again and go get another glass of Chardonnay. read more

I hate to give it all away in the first sentence but-- I like this place. I moved to Alameda recently and I've been looking for coffee house/cafes that don't close early. This apparently is hard to come by in Alameda if you aren't Starbucks. The decor is cute and the layout of the place is open, not cramped. Plenty of light and generally, a nice atmosphere. I think they even have a rocking chair in the corner that I was eying but was always occupied. (darn, next time!) I did struggle with plugging in my laptop, which when my laptop was finally on its last legs of battery life did cut my Blue Danube visit short. That's probably why I give this place 3 stars instead of 4. I think I also saw some pretty creative drink options--an Almond Roca mocha or something like that? I can't recall--but I know I want to try it, whatever it is. The day I was there I just got a standard ol' iced coffee. No complaints whatsoever. I ended up making some conversation with a fellow Alamedan and overall--I had a nice experience here. My only gripe is that I wish they would do something to make this place a little more laptop user friendly. read more

It's unfortunate that I JUST discovered this spot... after moving down to SoCal. Boo!!! The staff was friendly and prompt and did I mention that their coffee was actually really good? YUP - finally, Alameda has something decent rather than crossing the Posey Tube for Blue Bottle. My soy mocha was smooth... strong but not bitter... it was rather perfectly made for that much needed pick me upper that sorrowful day. So to all you islanders who frequent Peets (like myself) or Starbucks... try this spot and support something local. If you don't like it, um... blame me but hey, at least you tried :) I look forward to enjoying your cuppa next time I'm up there - keep up the good work! read more

I remember when it used to be Java Rama but it was when I wasn't yet old enough to drink coffee. It was the mid 90s grunge era when flannel shirts, baggy pants, Doc Martins, skaters, and all over piercings were all the rage. Wow I miss those days and times have definitely changed. After all these years, a decade and a half later I finally enter these doors to Blue Danube. It's very spacious inside and had a bit of a home-y feel. Cappuccino was pretty decent, served in these large mugs. They also offer pastries, cakes, other foods to go along with your coffee. It probably would be one of my regular coffee spots if I lived in the neighborhood. read more

As far as coffeeshop campouts go, Blue Danube is perfectly equipped for the occasion. So much space! Abundant outlets! Fresh squeezed cucumber-mint-apple juice! Fabulous, yeah? Just know that it's a no-frills, small-town, anti-hipster, family-friendly kind of joint. The historic looking building gives it some character, but you don't have to be tragically cool to come here and feel at home. If you just want to camp out, read, work, or have a probing conversation about spirituality (like the folks next to me) this seems to be a good place. Maybe you'll even get lucky and find 1 hour 47 minutes pre-loaded on your parking meter. You generous Alamedans! read more

I just came back from this coffee shop having had one of the scariest experiences ever with an unsafe customer. The employees saw what happened and NONE OF THEM checked in with me to ask if I was ok nor did they eject the problematic customer from the establishment. I was quietly studying and having a cup of coffee on the couch near the window. An older man, who had been sitting in a different area of the shop, came over to where I was and sat in the rocking chair directly across from me. Within two minutes he was on the phone. After eight minutes of hearing his conversation I made eye contact and asked him to stop. He continued for another ten minutes. After getting off the phone the guy becomes upset, tells me that since this is a public place, he has the right to talk on the phone and tells me to go to the library and study. Calls me the B word along with some other choice expletives. I tell him he is acting like an A word, and that I can study wherever i wish, I was not disturbing anybody-and I was in that spot BEFORE he decided to come over and disrupt! In the meantime, I am scanning the room for help. This guy is a solidly built man in his mid 50's to early 60's and I am a slim woman who weighs 130 lbs. Nobody would make eye contact with me, not even other patrons! The guy calls me a couple other expletives, leaves to where he had originally came from, and then comes back. Under his breath, he calls me the C word. This is when I took my cup of cold coffee and threw it on him. Still-NOBODY IN THE SHOP DID ANYTHING. After I did this, the crazy guy went to steal my work-issued blackberry laying on the table in front of me, but I grabbed it out of his hand. He backed off and went back to where he had been originally seated. The employees of Blue Danube came over and cleaned up where some of the coffee had spilled when I threw it-and refused to make eye contact with me! I called a friend because I was shaken up and afraid. This is when a patron of the store, upon exiting asked me if I was OK. I hope he is reading this so I can properly say Thank You to him. I told this kind man that I had just been harassed and that I was not OK. He hung around a moment, unsure as to what to do, and then left. In the meantime, I was afraid to leave the coffee shop because the dangerous man was still there and I didn't want to be followed. When I saw that he went to the front counter, I promptly left. Blue Danube, I will NEVER PATRON YOUR SHOP AGAIN since your staff obviously turn a blind eye to dangerous situations where men are harassing and calling women filthy names! I will go to safer venues such as Peet's and Starbucks, who are closer to me. What a pity, since you're the only independently owned coffee shop on Park St. YOU HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT CARE TO MAKE A SAFE SPACE FOR CUSTOMERS. ****Edited to Add***** I mailed a hard copy of this review the very next day to the owner of Blue Danube-AND NEVER HEARD BACK. If I could give this place zero stars for that, I would gladly do so. 2-21-11. read more

Better than going to a Starbucks or Peets which are both down the street, Blue Danube Coffee House has a very local and cozy feel to it. The light music isn't distracting at all when trying to do some work, and its also spacious enough to not feel all constricted like I usually would if I brought my laptop to a Starbucks. It's also a lot quieter than other coffee shops which is a plus. Of course, the internet is important. It's fast wifi, but you need to buy something to get a code for your wifi. The code expires after 2 hours of activation. Then you would have to buy something again. There is a jar of oreos for 25 cents each on the counter, I bought that and got another code... ha. They don't really care, they like you being there. I love that they serve your tea to you on a platter giving you your own pot and cup. Refills of hot water is free. I'm a heavy tea drinker, so I usually get plenty of refills to my pot. The tea leaves can go through a good 4 refills of water in the tea pot before the taste really just goes away and it starts tasting like hot water. 4 refills is a goooood amount and it will probably send you to the bathroom to pee a good 3 times. The bathroom is spacious and clean, as a side note. 3 bucks for the tea. Jasmine and the kyoki tea are my favs. Sorry if I spelled it wrong. read more

I strongly recommend this place. I havent been here for a while since I moved to LA. I came today because I have just landed and returned to sweet Alameda. I adore and almost praise the new management. There are a few things that of course anyone would dislike: the 2 hours limit internet, the cookies(from Kai S review), and all of the remodeling they are doing. However, I highly appreciate all of it and so will all of you if you think about it in different perspectives. I mean the free WIFI for however long you wanted it before was a sweet deal but to be honest, as a small business owner I would have never done that and neither would anyone that wants to open restaurant/cofeee shop. There are a lot of people who just came and sat for the whole day with ordering just 1 item, how can a business possibly make money like that? All the electricity, the rent, the wifi, they have to pay for it. I mean, I was surprised Java Rama was still open. Not only that, because there were so many people just here and sitting all day, you couldnt even get a spot to sit before. There is a lot of remodeling going on, so be patient with them and hang on for a while. I am sure that the outcome will be a marvelous place to stay at. :D As for the cookies, if you just want a bite of something to eat while starving but waiting for someone to eat with. Yer not gonna want to buy a sandwich or a big thing. I think the cookie jar is quite awesome even though it's .25. Well, in conclusion. COme and check them out, bring your friends and chill with them. :D read more

After coming to Java Rama, which is now Blue Danube for quite sometime, there are a few differences that have been made. One of my all-time favorites was the fact that Java Rama was open until 11pm allowing people to socialize, surf the net, study, read a book, play games, or simply gaze unconsciously into the distance in the cozy environment. However, Blue Danube is now only open until 10pm, which does make a bit of a difference for some. I'll take this moment to update the hours that are not yet stated, Mon-Fri 630am - 10pm Sat&Sun 7am - 10pm In the past, WiFi was free to use with purchase of one item. However, to use WiFi now, one would have to purchase an item(s) receiving a number to input in the generated website. Or an individual can use one of the two stationed computers with what I assume an item purchase, or credit card charge of $2.50 per 15mins. With the new splash of color and a bit more pictures (for sale) on the wall, Blue Danube does give that atmosphere of being more spacious and lively. Overall, I may not completely agree with these simple changes, but Blue Danube is still and hopefully continues to be Java Rama at heart. I continuously come here because I generally think this place is great for the listed reasons; cozy/comfortable atmosphere, tables and chairs comparably bigger than your typical Starbucks to have study groups or hordes of people, good customer service where they let you do your thing, reasonably cheap good items on the menu, great daylight as well as provides great lighting at night for those that enjoy curling up with a book, and mixture of music kept at a reasonable level for those that this to socialize/block out with their own ipods or simply enjoy. read more

i am a regular with Java Rama. I think the change is terrific, i like the new feel and the new calm environment the new Blue Danube brings. There is a lot more edible and drink choices. The 2 hours limit on WiFi is fine. If i can't finish what i need to do in that time is time to make another purchase. read more

This is a really chill place to hang out and get some studying in. They have a variety items on their menu, from sandwiches, desserts, coffee, teas, and even wine and beer. They few homemade desserts up front too which I appreciate! Of all the times I've been there, seating hasn't been an issue. They also have couches areas if you really want to get comfortable. I like coming here on Tuesday because they're open later on this day than any other day. I usually pick this cafe if I'm studying late because Julie's (cafe down the street) closes at around 7 and that's the time I get in the area. I also noticed on Tuesdays there's a group of people who bring board games, so more people on this day! Overall, I'd recommend this place. read more

Preface: coffee shops annoy me for a variety of reasons. I stopped here because I had my dog with me and they had a table outside. Hence the two stars instead of one. $13 for a orange juice and breakfast wrap. It was described as a bacon wrap. No sign of bacon. I asked for no potato's in my wrap. Can't do that because they are pre-made. Eggs inside I suspect were dehydrated but I could be wrong. Either way, nothing fresh about this wrap. Side of fruit was four pieces of green melon that included the rind, plus two pieces of cantaloupe. Both flavorless. The OJ was fresh I guess. It was frothy and appeared fresh squeezed room temp OJ. Wasn't really enjoyable but maybe healthy? I appreciated the free ice water. So did my dog. read more

I really like what they're doing here. I only popped my head into Java Rama twice and headed right back out --- the vibe was chilly...and the news was bad... There is a Blue Danube in San Francisco on Clement that's also pretty cool, too. I'm not sure if there's a connection, but I love the couches, the baked goods from Sweet Things Bakery (apricot bars!! :) ) and especially, the whole coffee beans available (my fave - Italian Roast, many thanks to the girl behind the counter for recommending it!) for just $10/pound, which they grind for you and often offer a free coffee with it a la Peet's and they give you two hours of free wi-fi, which is one hour more than most chain places, if at all (as I recall, starf*cks gives you zilch!) I found the jar of Oreos for .25 cents each totally amusing...on the one hand, it seems kind of expensive, but think about it...is it cheaper to simply get four Oreos for a buck, which is all you're going to eat anyway or take a half-hour walk down to Safeway to purchase a whole bag for $4 that you'll never finish and resent having to carry around? It's cheeky and yet rather convenient. Nice... read more

My wife and I usually come on Sundays to grab a couple coffees and a cookie and have been frequent customers over the last four years, visiting over 100 times. The coffee is OK and the ambiance is fine and we usually take our order to go. I have noticed that the customer service has declined over the past year. This past Sunday I ordered a coffee drink and my wife ordered a smoothie. She has a serious food allergy that can leave her with anaphylactic shock and is quite careful where she eats and likes Blue Danube because they have a few delicious choices in gluten free baked goods and kindly list the ingredients in their juices and smoothies on a large sign board. She observed one of the baristas adding Oreo cookies to her smoothie. When it was time to pick up the drink, I asked if there were cookies added to the beverage. The barista offered to remake the drink, but she was visibly pissed off. We left with a bad feeling. My thoughts are that the owner of Blue Danube does care about customer satisfaction and is willing to cater to those with food allergies, but has neglected employee training. If I was manager/owner, I would swiftly retrain the two Sunday employees in proper customer service. Many people these days suffer from food allergies and expect if a list of ingredients is presented, that there are no additional items added. I enjoy patronizing independent coffee houses, but after this last incident we will not be coming back. read more

Nice atmosphere. The staff are friendly. I usally have the hot chocolate or the hot cider, which are both good. My hubby likes the tea. Food. Sandwiches are tasty. I love the turkey bagel dog-Yummy. I love the brownies and the cookies are good. The cupcakes look really good, but I was a bit disappointed. I was with a group so we ordered a variety of flavors, but none were good enough to order again, but I guess there weren't aweful enough not to eat. Just a little dry and the cake wasn't very flavorful even the chocolate. I guess I just think of them as an easy thing since I get them lots of places and they almost always seem to taste better. So that said, I do enjoy the place a lot. I can sit there and hang out, have a snack, work on the computer using the wifi if I am meeting with someone, and I like 98% of what they offer. read more

You know when you have to have emotional support that can only come from a dog? I desperately needed a doggie fix. So, we met up with a friend and her big pampered pooch at this coffee place. Our friend's a regular here and we hadn't been yet, so it was nice to try it. They have outdoor seating for customers with canine companions. We each liked what we got. I had a mint mocha (asked for skim milk to be used) and my sweetheart had a croissant. I shudder to think how many calories were in each, but we worked it off petting the beautiful long-furred dog. The service was good, but the prices are a bit high. Still, it was worth it as they had a nice clean bathroom. read more

I go there at least once a week, order a spinach quiche & chill on my laptop. It never gets too crowded 1p-4p weekdays, so there is always somewhere to sit & near an outlet too. They have a variety of places to sit. Couches or tables; you choose. read more

I always prefer to support local businesses over franchises. As much as I would LOVE to support a place like this, I do not love this place. I can be the only person in line, with two or three people working the counter, and not get acknowledged for quite a few minutes, even if they're not doing anything. Once they finally DO notice I'm there, they're clearly bothered by the fact that I decided to support their business and give them money, and glare at me until they decide to take my order. Once they do, it takes forever just for them to pour my PLAIN coffee into a cup. This was not a one time experience, it happens every time I go there. I'll sadly be taking my money somewhere corporate because at least they follow customer service protocols. read more
