I came here with a group of friends to celebrate my friend's engagement, and it was such a lovely…read morespot for afternoon tea! My friend called ahead to reserve a table, and just a heads up--they do have a cancellation fee, so be sure your group is committed before booking. The space is small, cozy, and beautifully decorated, making it feel really homey. They have a great selection of teas, and with the afternoon tea set you get to choose three sandwich flavors. I picked the smoked salmon, chicken curry, and kaya toast, and they were all delicious. I especially loved that they incorporated Malaysian-inspired flavors into a traditional afternoon tea experience. For my tea, I chose the Earl Grey Lavender, which was fragrant and delicious. I also added the Malaysian pulled tea for an extra $7. It was a fun experience and a generous serving since you also get a full pot of tea. Overall, everything was delicious, the atmosphere was adorable, and the service was great. I'd definitely recommend Malaya Tea Room if you're looking for a cozy afternoon tea spot with a unique Malaysian twist for a special occasion or a catch-up with friends!

What a cute and culture-filled tea room! I was filled with nostalgia with the Asian desserts and…read moreother sweets I enjoyed as a child. The ordering counter is visually pleasing with some of the menu items on display! I was greeted and welcomed in right when I entered to check out their Wednesday soft launch. My menu questions were answered and I was served promptly. My takeout orders of pandan cake and meatfloss sandwich with basil spread were ready quickly. Both are delicious! The only reason I gave four stars is because my family and I noticed the milk bread for our meatfloss sandwich was dry. Other than this, the meatfloss and basil spread is an excellent, flavorful culinary combination! I've spread the word to friends and family to check out Malaya Tea Room! This is a perfect place to melt your stress away, spend time with friends and family, take a midday break, and more!

Delicious ice cream, and great portions for the price (for Bay Area standards)…read more Been here a few times and the workers have been courteous and helpful with choosing flavors. Most recently I got their butter pecan and birthday cake flavors. Their waffle cones are good, on the thinner side but capable of remaining intact for the duration of your ice cream eating time. They have plenty of seating inside and a small but lovely outdoor patio in the back. Highly recommend going outside of their post-lunch rush hours.

I'm always on the hunt for ice cream, so I found this place when I was in Alameda…read more Honestly I was pretty disappointed. The ice cream itself wasn't very rich or creamy (it honestly tasted fairly cheap) and the flavor/mix ins also weren't very interesting or impressive. I was pretty bummed since I'm not usually in the East Bay so I definitely wanted to find something good while I was there.

The Turkey sandwich is really good. The corn fritters was good and the sauce that come on the fritters is amazing if you love aioli.

Service and ambiance were great!…read more Our server was friendly and made some great recommendations. We had our dog with us so had to sit outside but they have a small patio which worked out great. She even brought out a water bowl and treat for my pup. The espresso martini was strong and delicious. The Bloody Mary was tasty and refreshing with all the accoutrements. The waffles were soft and the omelette had a good amount of cheese and chorizo. The preachers daughter croissant was tasty too. The ground mustard, green apples, and thyme onion jam was a good combo, but needed a little more sweetness from the jam. They have live music on Sundays which was a nice touch to a Sunday brunch. If you find yourself in the area, have a big group, or your dog with you, come and try it out!

Who hires the employees here???…read more No matter what day or time we go, even with 5 minutes left to closing, every single employee is welcoming, kind, patient, respectful, and just great. Some of the other boba places in the area are rude when we grab our last minute boba and it shows on their face and when we are ordering. I get it, they just want to close and go home, but at Boba Me? They hide it very well if they're trying to close and last minute customers like us come strolling in LoL Ambience is bright and spacey, plenty of seating and it's become our go-to for evening boba. Keep up the great work!

I'm usually very particular about matcha since I've perfected my own recipe to suit my personal…read moretaste, but I have to say I really enjoyed their Earl Grey Matcha from the seasonal menu. It wasn't overly sweet and still maintained that earthy matcha flavor that many places tend to lose when they jump on the matcha trend. My husband ordered the Vanilla Bean Caramel Latte, also from the seasonal menu, and loved it so much that he said this is now his favorite coffee spot. Safe to say, whenever we're back in town, we'll definitely be returning!
