    Hong Kong milk tea & matcha Oreo
    Stephanie T.

    My friend brought us to Cookiebar Scoop Shop after losing a bet to me and having to owe me ice cream and I am so glad he did. They have unique Asian flavors such as mango sticky rice, Hong Kong milk tea, durian and more. My husband and I shared a double scoop of the Hong Kong milk tea and matcha oreo, which were so yummy and creamy. The staff here is super patient. My friends and I were indecisive and took awhile to order but they were so kind. There are so many other flavors I want to try when I return.

    Pandan and dan tat!

    This place is great! I actually went two days in a row. You'll probably have to park a little far but it's worth it! They have a lot of Asian inspired flavors. They let you sample flavors before committing. I got the single cup so I could get two flavors. I wound up getting the dan tat and the pandan. The dan tat is what they're known for. Genius, everyone likes dan tat and everyone likes ice cream! Everyone working there was friendly and efficient. It was Christmas when I went, so there was a tree. Not much seating, but you can take your ice cream on a walk around the block.

    I was intrigued by the asian flavors, but didn't know what to expect. It was very bright on the inside and all of the flavors were very clear on the glass. The employees were very friendly and attentive. The Hong Kong milk tea flavor caught my eye and it absolutely did not disappoint. Still thinking about it and will be back!

    Cute place with mostly Asian inspired flavors. Sad that this place is far from home or I would visit every week. I only tried 3 flavors but in order of my favorite: Mango sticky rice Dan tat Pandan coconut (needs more pandan flavor)

    Strawberry matcha

    If you're ever in Alameda and craving an asian inspired ice cream, look no further than this spot! This small shop has a variety of unique flavors such as lychee black tea, mango sticky rice, and egg tart. I went with the strawberry matcha and banana oreo flavors. I like that the ice cream doesn't melt too easily and the texture is just right. I never thought I would like the combination of oreo and banana together but this flavor was delicious! The strawberry matcha also tasted good and felt very refreshing. There are a few seats outside but I don't think there was anywhere to sit inside. Parking was a bit tough since it is all street parking. Overall, pretty cool spot!

    Rarely seen flavors - many of them Asian inspired - at this cute local scoop shop. I ordered lychee black tea, Dan Tat (egg tart with flaky crust pieces) and pandan coconut (with coconut shreds). $9 for a double scoop (up to 3 flavors).

    Overview: A gem in small town Alameda, unique ice cream with a focus on Asian flavors, a nice treat on Webster Street ---- Single Scoop ($6.50) - can choose 2 flavors! - I got Dan Tat (egg tart) and Durian - I really liked the Dan Tat bc I've never had it before - nice durian flavor, tastes like the ones in-stores - I chose the sugar cone (free of charge) and they also gave me a cup and a spoon so that it is easier to eat - cake cones and gluten-free sugar cones are also available ---- Notes: - service was friendly, the worker was sweet :) - gluten-free options, but no vegan options - able to try different flavors to see if you like it before you buy it - parking is a bit difficult, park in the residential areas then walk over - outside seating only - cute little shop, green themed color scheme ---- Overall: Glad to have found this local ice cream shop, reminds me how much I love Alameda for it's small businesses. Unique flavors and a must try once if you are in the area, can't wait to come back

    A very unique ice cream shop in Alameda focusing on Asian flavors! I was grabbing dinner nearby with friends, and we decided to pop by Cookiebar for some ice cream afterwards. Parking is all street parking, but it was easy to find half a block away. When we came Friday night around 8:30 pm, it wasn't crowded at all and we were able to order quickly. There were so many flavors that looked interesting, like lychee black tea or pandan coconut, but I didn't want to ask for samples of everything so I limited myself. I did sample the dan tat (egg tart) flavor because I was super curious about it. It tasted very similar to the custard filling of an egg tart, but I didn't think I'd want a whole scoop of it, so I passed. I ended up getting a single cup with 2 scoops - one of Hong Kong milk tea and one of the mango sticky rice - for $6.50. The HK milk tea flavor tasted spot on, and the mango sticky rice was super mango-y as well. The only thing I didn't like was that the mango sticky rice had some annoyingly large chunks of rice in it. But otherwise both flavors were delicious! There is no indoor seating here, though there are a couple tables outside. It's not a place to sit and slowly chat with friends but rather a place to quickly eat some ice cream and go.

    This was just one of those accidental finds that may not have been so accidental when it came to calorie consumption. Jamie W and I were having tiki libations at Forbidden Island and decided to take a walk over to Webster since we don't venture that much on this side of Alameda. We even played pinball at the Pacific Pinball Museum. All that thumb wrestling with those vintage pinball machines must've made me peckish for ice cream. I managed to finagle Jamie to enter the compact shop, and I was immediately impressed by the Asian twang of some of the flavors like Hong Kong Milk Tea, Durian, and Mango Sticky Rice. I surprised even myself and ordered the $4 Kid's Cup of Rocky Road (photo: https://yelp.to/Mh0fd59F-o). It was quite rich and creamy, so the size worked fine for me. The Asian flavors would be worth a return visit. Good to know there's ice cream beyond Tucker's and Loard's. ICE CREAM - 4 stars...pretty yummy, on the thicker side AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...compact spot with bench seating on the outside SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...nice option for your sweet tooth on Webster RELATED - Exploring Alameda?

    Banana Oreo
    Simon L.

    Cookiebar is such a fun ice cream spot because the flavors feel way more creative than your average shop. I love that they lean into unique options like durian and banana Oreo, and the whole menu has that same playful, unexpected vibe with flavors like Thai iced tea, jasmine milk tea, dan tat, and matcha Oreo.

    Banana oreo, dan tat, and jasmine milk tea.
    Cindy C.

    Amazing ice cream and I don't even like ice cream that much so thats saying something. I know what kind of monster doesn't like ice cream. Anyways, their flavors are amazing!! The dan tat blew my mind and is a must get. Their jasmine milk tea was very strong in the best way possible. The mango sticky rice tasted EXACTLY like mango sticky rice. They take their flavoring very seriously, a big pet peeve of mine is getting asian flavored things that taste nothing like what they are suppose to taste like or are too mild in flavor. Not here the banana oreo tasted intensely like banana in the best way possible. They have a sign that says free samples, which is very thoughtful, its nice to be able to sample all of the interesting flavors before committing. Def a favorite!

    Leslie Q.

    Came to Cookiebar Scoop Shop because their ice cream menu intrigued me and we were in the area. The main flavor that pulled me in was the Dan Tat (egg tart) flavor. Located in Alameda off Lincoln and Webster, Cookiebar Scoop Shop doesn't actually serve cookies as its name might infer. Instead they serve ice cream with Asian and classic flavors. The inside is small, but cute with hints of mint green and classic black and white checkerboard flooring. My sister and I were able to sample a bunch of flavors, and the ones that stood out to us that we ended up ordering were: - Dan Tat (egg tart) - so custardy with bits of flakey pastry - Pandan Coconut - great pandan flavor and the coconut gave good texture - Cookies n Creme - this one was like an intense version of a classic cookies and cream ice cream you'd get at any other ice cream shop. It was creamy delicious, Oreo x1000. The girl who helped us was super nice and helpful too. She explained the intensity of the cookies and creme, which convinced my sister to order it. Overall great flavors, and I would definitely come back! I want to try the Banana Oreo!

    every flavor that we tried was delicious!

    This is one of my friend's favorite ice cream places, so per her recommendation, our group of five came by after lunch on Saturday a little before 4pm (found metered parking across the street). There were only a couple of people in the shop when we arrived, and we took our time looking over their options. They had so many Asian flavors, and I ended up trying a good number of them (durian, dan tat/Chinese egg tart, Hong Kong milk tea, London fog, ube, and pandan coconut). There wasn't a single flavor I didn't enjoy, which made the process of choosing quite difficult HAHA. I finally settled on a single with durian and Hong Kong milk tea. I really appreciated how patient and helpful the lady at the counter was when I was feeling indecisive, so huge shoutout to her for providing great customer service. I would come back more often if I lived in the area, but if you're in the area, I would HIGHLY recommend trying this shop out!!

    Poor, old, formerly great Fenton's. I grew up in Piedmont, I've been going there all of my life…read more Nowadays, I avoid going in, because the service was so rude so many times, I gave up. But, my boss orders us food from Fenton's via Doordash to be delivered to our Oakland office from time to time. Last several times in a row, it's been pretty dang bad, (the potato chips always taste fishy!) but today (8/5/26) it was literally garbage. We had 2 egg salad sandwiches and a jalapeno burger, plus two milkshakes. The egg salad sandwiches had to be straight up tossed out. Just not edible. The egg salad was sooo watery, it was like a soup. Just dripping and running down out of the bread. Also, a HEAVY mustard taste, overpowering everything else. The burger had a piece of something (literally) translucent on it, apparently their idea of a slice of cheese? And the accompanying fries were COLD. The toasted almond milkshake was so runny it was like a flavored water. Not at all a creamy consistency, I don't even think they made it with milk, it seemed to be just a tiny bit of ice cream, some water and a lot of ice cubes (still visible in the shake). Just nasty. The other milkshake seemed ok. Of course, with the order being from DoorDash, it's near-impossible to get any real support, so it's just basically a total loss. I don't know if Fenton's just doesn't GAF, since they're always busy anyways, OR if they need to pay their employees more in order to attract the sort of person who's capable of being trained to care to do things correctly, but it's just really a bummer that such a neat, fun, old legacy business is allowing itself to disappoint customers and turn into a big mess like this. Sad.

They own an apartment in Paris and I didn't want to offend them with my usual guerrilla tactics. I'm known to fight dirty and conspire with others during this game and everybody hates me because of it, and I didn't want to be banned from their apartment, as Paris in the fall is lovely. Thus my journey with Walter began. One thing about me, is I respect a place that knows flavors. I don't want basic vanilla, give me some weird and strange and flavorful that will tantalize my palette and ignite my senses. Give me salty and sweet. Give me TANG. Give me these things and DONT give me gas. Bad Walters cracked the code. All flavor, real dairy, no lactose, no gas. Each week they have a different batch of flavors, so there's always something new to explore. There's like 6 flavors to choose from at once and they let me try them all before I selected my choice hehe. I tried to sample 6 flavors at Cold Stone and they took me out back and shot me, but here, nobody was mean to me. Mr. Potatohead is the flavor I landed on--brown sugar custard with peanut butter swirl and chocolate covered potato chips. The chunks of chocolate covered potato chips were lodged in the ice cream and I felt like an archaeologist excavating ancient rocks as my spoon lifted the potato chocolate chunks out of the creamy custard into my mouth. I bought a pint. The Mick Jagger was another joy, with its salty caramel and Oreo chunks. They're lucky Peaches Christ was sold out because I might've lost my mind for a peach cobbler ice cream! They wouldve had to drag me out by the back of my neck like a rabid dog! Maybe next time. All in all, tasty ice cream. Would recommend.

The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces.

This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

Shooting Star Cafe is in Oakland Chinatown and it is a Hong Kong style Cafe. Besides Hong Kong style foods like baked spaghetti with steak, they have a good selection of boba tea and fruit drinks. The dining area had maybe 10 or more tables, and the tables were very much occupied by families and group of friends. There was a TV overhead, so hanging out is encouraged. We tried the classic milk tea with boba, and a citrus fruit refresher. We enjoyed our drinks. The fruit refresher was made with real fruits and tasted fresh. You can customized the sugar level, and we probably should have asked for more than 30%, as 30% was not sweet enough. We like to try the food menu next time.
