Plus I know I'm eating healthy, organic and good meats, and don't feel as yuck as when I order takeout. The packaging is so remarkable and stacks well in the fridge! Also perfect for hosting a group -- had a family trip and just loaded up here and saved so much time and headache (even breakfast with brunch loaves!).

This is for the version & price point of Planted Table that existed in 2021/2022. (I stopped…read moreordering from them because my allergies were activated, and I needed to do an elimination diet. When I came back to them a couple years later, the price point had gone up & I was priced out.) The portion sizes were large. I think it was like $12-13/meal. 99% of the dishes were delicious. I was REALLY pleasantly surprised at the flavor & taste. I expected gentrified dishes. It was good! I was also specifically looking for meal delivery that generated less waste. Planter table delivered that. I got cool enough with my driver (and tipped well!) that he brought me a little thank you plant. I loved that I had the same driver each time. It was just a really pleasant experience overall. Nothing bad to say.

I am not vegan but this hits the spot and is the best meal service I have found. The food is still amazing and I'm happy to see the meal options have expanded, there's seasonal produce options and Acme bread, and now they post calorie information. They have family style option to get a bigger portion for those who have a family, or for me, to bring to a pot luck. They also have individual desserts and full size pies/cakes. Seriously - they have everything. They no longer offer wine for those who care. There are some additional pick up options, too, but I stick with Jack London Square on Wednesdays from 11:30-2:00. Pro tip: get the cookie dough!!!!! And the chili. And the breakfast burritos. And the bake at home pizza ........ $20 credit Referral code: QWC3D2MJ

If you have a craving for fried food at night, there's a new virtual kitchen in town called "Cosmic…read moreWings." Cosmic Wings is a virtual brand of Dine Brands, and they operate Applebee's and IHOP restaurants. A virtual brand is a menu that's only offered thru delivery apps such as DoorDash or GrubHub. In Alameda, the Cosmic Wings menu is prepared in a shared kitchen at the Applebee's restaurant at Southshore Center. So this is not a ghost kitchen. On a Tuesday night, I decided to try: - Traditional Wings, 9-piece, Honey BBQ and Bleu Cheese dip - Chicken Tenders Dippers, 5-piece, Sweet Asian Chili sauce - Onion Rings, Honey BBQ Delivery was quick and prompt. First, I didn't try the Cosmic Wings Signature menu item- "Cheetos Flaming Hot Wings." Sorry, no review here for Cheeto breaded wings w/ flaming hot sauce. The idea behind "Cheetos Flaming Hot Wings" is to market to younger consumers who have cravings at night. I wasn't interested in trying them. The Traditional Wings were good, tender and juicy. They're about average sized wings and drums. Includes celery, and your choice of dipping sauces. The Onion rings were huge, crispy and fresh. It's a big order for $7.49. The Chicken Tender Dippers were probably made from frozen. They weren't tender and had no flavor. So I would skip those. They gave me free french fries that I didn't order. Overall, the Wings and Onion Rings were great, the Tenders were not good. Delivery time is very quick because there's not much traffic in Alameda at night.

Delivery is every week and so seamless, there is even an app to track the status of the delivery. The soups and stews were all so flavorful - I didn't have to season them at all! My favorites are the cauliflower potato soup, ginger chicken soup and the oatmeal white chocolate chip cookies (seriously, so good!). Having access to quick and healthy food is so important, especially during the 4th trimester when I'm in full zombie mode. And I'm so thankful for Kitchen Doula!

1601 Park St Alameda, CA 94501…read more The Ice Cream Shop is a virtual brand* operating from the Liquor Hub in Alameda. I saw this place listed on DoorDash, and decided to go check out what this place was all about. The Ice Cream Shop offers packaged ice cream like Ben & Jerrys and popsicles on delivery apps like Doordash and GrubHub. It's not an actual ice cream shop like Baskin Robbins. As you walk in the Liquor Hub, the ice cream section is on the rightside. The setup appears to be mainly for delivery. There's no signage that says "The Ice Cream Shop." They have a large variety of popular ice cream products. This is not a ghost kitchen, as everything is pre-packaged for sale. *Virtual brand- what's a virtual brand? It's a product line or menu that only exists on delivery apps or websites.

I got a Grubhub msg that my order was ready for pickup at 1235pm. So the food sat for about 20 mins. But no harm was done as the food was fresh and tasty. I ordered a "2-pc Chicken and a side of Collard Greens." The fried chicken was moist and juicy. The crust was crispy, but not hard and crunchy. The pieces were a wing and a thigh . The collard greens were savory and flavorful. They tasted just like the greens I had in Georgia, when i was in the US Army. I also ordered "The Works," which was 2-pcs of chicken, 2 waffles, cornbread, and 1 side. My side was Mac n Cheese, and OMG it was good. It was blended well, no weird powdered cheese texture. The Chicken pieces were breast and drumstick. I usually don't like white meat, but this breast was juicy and moist. The crispy crust was an afterthought. (A hot sauce is included in the order). What's really surprising is that this food travels well as takeout. Because I would think the waffles might get soggy when packed with hot foods. Not the case. The waffles were crispy and slightly doughy. They come with a powdered sugar, and you pour on the syrup. Maybe you want to drown it with butter, but I liked it as served. So, if you like soul food, try Little Skillet @ Jingletown Eats. Remember, this is a cloud kitchen, it has no diningroom. It's strictly pickup or delivery. If you like it, it's worth the price.

We met for lunch on a quiet Sunday. It was our first time there…read more Parking was excellent. We all parked in the alley in front. It was kinda confusing looking for the entry because there's another name on the building. Once inside, I loved the unique setting. We were able to get a table right away. We had to wait until someone addressed us, seemed a little unusual as it wasn't crowded. We ordered our meals. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Next time, I will request an extra scoop because it wasn't enough for me. As we kept waiting to have our table cleared, my friend had to actually call out for assistance. Overall, it was a pretty good experience the food was tasty. We plan to go back on another day just to feel the vibe.
