We discovered Marianne's Pavlovas totally by accident, and honestly it's one of the amazing dessert…read morecreations we've ever had! It all centers around something wonderfully unique -- the Pavlova, a meringue-based treat, crowned with fresh fruit. The meringue has a delicate crunch on the outside, giving way to a soft, pillowy center, and the fresh fruit layered on top "really ties it all together". Light, sweet, and truly irresistible. I've had many standout desserts throughout my life, but I can say this is a dessert offering you won't find anywhere else. A truly special experience from first bite to last!

I love this plaaaaaaace!!! Please try this place If I lived closer, I would be coming here…read moreeveryday. First of all, the ambience is so cute and warm. The vibes are far beyond just immaculate. There's not a whole lot of seating area, but it was empty when we got there, so we just sat and chatted for an hour by their little fireplace thing. The place gives clean cozy mid century modern bar vibes. Minus the alcohol. Service was 100/10 as well. They were so patient with us as we couldn't decide what to order from their delicious selection of drinks. We ended up getting 4 drinks for 3 people because of that My favorite was definitely the golden nectar. It had such warm fall flavors while being light and refreshing. Second favorite was the matcha calamansi. Wasn't sure if the combo would be good, but it was!!! Overall, amazing cafe!!! 10000/10 they also have a little dog that came out to tentatively greet us for a couple minutes haha

While almost all other cafés in Alameda close in the early afternoon like 2-4pm, this place is open til 11pm Wednesday through Saturday and til 8pm on Sunday. They are still expanding their menu and storefront so as of November 10th, their menu has 10 drinks and 14 seats for customers. I can't wait for their new creations! They also had a mixed nuts chocolate chip cookie for $3. ---- Dalgona Dream $5.25: - 10/10 - Comes topped with dalgona bits and a larger chunk on the side - Dalgona "biscuit" offers a good texture and flavor on the side - Strong chocolate flavor and creamy - Mix well, I recommend mixing it with the lid off Choco Banana $4.50: - 10/10 - Good, unique flavor - Banana milk forward - Complimentary flavors of banana and chocolate Dulce De Leche $5.75: - 8.5/10 - Friend said he wanted it to be a hotter temperature - He said it had a good chocolatey flavor ---- Service: - Very welcoming and quick - 4 drinks took around 12 minutes - Came to check if everything was okay and offered us waters ---- Ambiance: - Bar area with 4 seats with desk lights to watch them prepare the drinks - 10 indoor seats and 2 outdoor ones - Bathroom available in the far back - Still renovating so more seats will be available in the future! - Music playing in the background was at a good level, able to hear your own conversations ---- Notes: - Menus are a little bit hard to read, small print and a light color - Prices are included on the smaller menus where you order and on one of the bigger ones behind their drink station, was not listed on the bigger signs on the front wall ---- Overall: Their unique taste and welcoming presence is great addition to Alameda, definitely will be coming back soon!

Their service was great, and they got orders out quickly despite being busy. I stopped in during…read morethe morning rush, and it seemed packed with people picking up breakfast as well as lunch for work. The sandwiches looked excellent, and I'd definitely come back to try one. I ordered a breakfast burrito because I was craving eggs, but unfortunately the eggs tasted like the pre-made, processed type, which was a big disappointment. The avocado/guacamole also seemed like the packaged kind rather than fresh. The burrito felt like a great deal for the price, but after eating it, I understood why it was so inexpensive. That said, I don't think my experience reflects what they do best. Based on what I saw, their specialty seems to be their non-breakfast sandwiches, and those are what I'd be most interested in trying on a future visit.

I was looking for a treat for my dad's birthday and came across Maple St. Cheesecakes in Yelp. The pics and reviews looked wonderful- I think I "liked" all of the pics during my browsing. My dad chose the walnut ganache flavor - it has a layer of ganache followed by whipped cream, toasted walnuts and sprinkled with more ganache and sea salt. YUM. Needless to say, it was a HIT! Maple Street Cheesecakes has definitely made my top cheesecakes list and let me tell you why: -The owner Marina is so awesome and sweet - she responded to my inquiry right away and was so nice and helpful with the menu, and ordering/pick up logistics. She also provided updates on my cheesecake and gave me nice recommendations. Also, it looks from their website, her and her partner (Brent) are a dynamic duo with this awesome business (she is the owner/content creator and he is the baker.) - Menu looks SO tasty on the website - I totally want to try them all- they offer a mini quad set where you can try 4 flavors. I want to try the pecan and lemon! (recommended by Marina) - Ordering logistics was easy peasy- you order online, schedule a pick-up day/time and Marina brings out the cheesecake to you at their address. They also deliver! - Taste, presentation and creativity. Absolutely delicious- it really is love at first bite with the perfectly baked creamy cheesecake, toasted walnuts, chocolate ganache drizzles, and yummy graham cracker crust. It was packaged neatly and was a perfect dessert for 6 adults (2 had seconds so technically enough for 8 with big slices!) I can't wait to try the other flavors. Marina and Brent have a magical thing going with Maple Street Cheesecakes. Please support this local business - you will absolutely love their cheesecakes!!
