San Leandro staple. Love coming here with family and friends. This is just one visit out of many over the years. Tasty, filling crepes and amazing service. Workers are always friendly, even when it's busy, and I've never had a bad experience. I love their Toffee Coffee, especially iced since it comes with toffee bits. Definitely on the sweeter side, recommend if you're more into sweet drinks and being up on sugar instead of caffeine (however they do have more caffeine forward options). Ambience is nice, tall open windows so there's a lot of light that comes in and there's always music playing. Not a lot of tables for big parties, but they also offer some couches with tables in the back. Cheese Bacon Crepe w/ Pasta: 9.5/10, delicious, my go-to. super filling, also has chicken & mushrooms. Pasta is not the most flavorful, but definitely does its job as just the side dish and I always end up finishing it anyway. Toffee Coffee: 11/10. One of my favorite coffees that I definitely treat as more of a sweet treat. The toffee bits in the iced toffee coffee are my favorite. I always crave to get this when driving on Hesperian. read more

my first meal in the bay area started so delightfully such a warm, inviting, and clean place! everyone was so sweet and attentive. on a random weekday there were a few people in an out, and a few regulars there for their breakfast/brunch. we shared the chicken apple sausage crepe! filled with veggies and a snappy sausage. the crepe was thin and soft. it's topped with a pesto sauce that paired perfectly with everything else! i would definitely come back for another comforting breakfast in such an inviting environment! read more

I stopped by Frodo's for a crepe and unfortunately it missed the mark for me. The customer service was great and my order came out quickly, but the crepe itself was crunchy and paper thin. I don't get crepes often, but I've always known them to be soft and tender, so this was surprising. By the time I got home about 20 minutes later, it just wasn't enjoyable. A side of pineapple and oranges were included, which was pretty mid -- I took a couple bites and tossed it. Bummer, because all I wanted was a good crepe. Hoping this was just an off day. read more

You can't go wrong with the Nutella and strawberry crepe! I paired it with the BLT for my first meal of the day. Can't say much to the service since I got it delivered but they accommodated all customizations and everything was fresh. I've seen people have a quick but filling breakfast here in the morning and I'm glad there's a neighborhood place here in SL to do just that! read more

Came here with friends since we wanted some crepes for breakfast. This was the most delicious crepe I've ever eaten, and the staff were super friendly. It wasn't too quiet or loud when we ate there, but do watch where you're walking because it is a pretty small restaurant. There are couches available at the back. Food portions itself were huge but I did manage to eat it all in one sitting. I would come here again, 10/10. read more

I went to visit a friend in San Leandro and it made me wish I lived over here simply to frequent this coffee shop. I had the iced horchata latte and iced vanilla latte at two different times in one weekend. Both of the coffees were super sweet and yummy and gave me the caffeine boost I needed. I had their seafood delight as well before I made my way back home. It was filling and delectable with shrimp and crab. The meal came with additional sides of pesto and ranch. I will definitely be coming back when I am in the area! The service was quick on both occasions even when packed! read more

It's been over a year since my last review of this place. I'd say I've been back at 4 or 5 times, the crepes here are delicious, and i always show so coffee deprived and call the crepes omelettes lol my apologies. So the coffee must be good if I show up here caffeine deprived. Service is good as always, plenty of books to read if you have the time to sit down. Definitely worth hanging out! 5/5 read more

What a cute little local spot! Love coming by for their specials! The drinks are a bit on the sweeter side, but you can definitely let them know if you'd like it less sweet! Everyone's super friendly and it's a great spot for the community to just hang out and have some coffee and crepes! read more

I truly miss living down the street from Frodo's. My go to spot when I lived with folks. Never a bad experience. Still occasionally order or stop by when I can for the best crepes. read more

I hadn't been to Frodo Joe's in a bit, because I seldom visit the east bay these days. But because I was visiting, I couldn't let the morning go by without indulging. And like in the past, they did not disappoint! Food is always on point, the place has cute atmosphere and vibe that is nice. And although the location is relatively small, and there's a constant flow of patrons, it wasn't so busy that there were wasn't a table available or a long wait receiving your order. Definitely still one of my favorite spots! read more

We dropped by and got two crepes - the seafood one and the strawberry cheesecake! Both were delicious and HUGE portions for the price you pay. I definitely think this place is worth it and would come by if I were in the area. For drinks, we got the strawberry mocha and lavender early gray latte. These were okay but you get a lot for $6! read more

I gets so busy in the morning! Small shared parking lot. Lots of options.

Banana crepe $13 drizzles with Nutella and carnal sauce Matcha latte with oat $6 so gooood! Breakfast #2 Banana mocha $5.25 they are busy but the service is quick. You order at the register and then find seating. read more

Bad food and terrible service and they was rude !!!!!!!!!!! And charged too much..............

I ordered the Silicon Smoothie through Doordash and it tasted refreshing and great! The smoothie comes with the option of adding whip cream, which I did not add, but I think it's a great option to have. The smoothie has mango juice, banana, and peach. read more

Came back again and try different savory crepes. Shrimp Pesto - the crepe itself is still crispy, but I am not a big fan of the small shrimp, they are lack of taste, I won't order again. Breakfast Galette - as good as before, this time I got pasta as side dish. Will order again and again. read more

Exterior: the first thing I saw was the "Now Hiring" sign so I assume there are a lot of new trainees that are working here and often times, they come and go. Other than that, this place is next to a gas station and within the plaza area. There is full glass around this cafe, so a lot of natural lighting coming inside, an outdoor seating if you happen to bring your pets with you and plenty of parking spots. Interior: there is moderately a lot of tables and there's a couple of lounge seats at the back of the cafe which is very nice. They have a big board on top of the coffee creamer counter are at, I notice that you just put away your plates and mugs at the bins. If the bins are not there then pass it onto the employees and they'll take care of it. Experience: Food&Drinks: their savory crepes are really good since I prefer savory over sweet. I tried out their strawberry and banana crepe with ice cream and Nutella sauce. It tastes great and I like my crepes on the crispier side. As for the hot drinks, I went a simple hot chocolate with lite whip cream and it tasted good. Overall: I would like to keep this in mind, this place is a small mom and pop shop and the owner is pretty familiar with a lot of returning customers. Not only that, this place have a really good reputation for what they have in their cafe and something to keep in mind is that they work pretty fast paced, nothing like Starbucks where the employees would hold up the line by making conversations with customers. Next is probably a lot of the employees are high schoolers/students in this cafe. To top it off, this place has been opened for a really long time, maybe a decade and a half? Judging by how long they've been opened, it is a really good spot to quickly get your drinks and meals. read more

Small town feel with great friendly staff and great food! This place was opened on memoriał day so bf and I stopped by. He had a sweet crepe and I had their classic, and we were both very happy with our choices. The workers seem to know a lot of the repeat customers and they were super nice when questions were asked, and they were quick to clean up after people left tables. If you're ever around, I'd 10/10 recommend this place~ read more

On our way to Lake Tahoe we wanted a quick bite and coffee, I checked Yelp and found this gem. We walked in and checked out the menu, everything looked so good so it was hard to decide. Since we wanted to get back on the road we decided to get a breakfast sandwich. We got the #1 on a croissant. It had eggs, crispy bacon, and tomatoes. It was simple yet delicious. My husband had regular coffee, and I got a hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was so good, I think it's my new favorite hot chocolate. Everyone working there was so friendly. We will try something different next time we're in the area read more

I always order the seafood delight crepe with pasta. My wife likes the Hawaiian crepe. They make their crepe in front and yiu can see them make it. The place is busy so expect a little wait for tables. Its worth the wait read more

We like Frodo's Joe. At first we tried the crepes, but lately we like the sandwiches as well. My favorite is the turkey avocado one, add bacon. Everything tastes yummy when bacon is added!! And crispy bacon on top of that!! The only confusing thing is the option said 2 sides, but when we picked up the food ( we ordered online for take out order ), there is always only one side. read more

I've been coming here for a while. I recently had a bad experience and Emily took care of it.

I've ordered many times at this location and while I would love to give 5 stars they did not hit the mark today. Lesson learned, best to order on their website instead of calling in the order to avoid miscommunication/misunderstanding. I wanted their Fresh Strawberries Crepe add bananas, which online says it has Nutella. Upon pick-up, I was charged for Strawberries and Banana Crepe with sauces on the side. The sauces were caramel and raspberry - no Nutella in the crepe. I give them a 4 star because of their service, as they are quite accommodating since my partner forgot to mention that the hot chocolate was made with almond milk. read more

I was surprised I only had sweet crepes took a chance on something different and the chicken apple sausage was very savory 10/10 i also enjoyed the pasta on the side I got the toffee latte it's was ok but overall great place and I will be back for more read more

It's been a long time since my last review, but Frodo Joe's hasn't changed much, and that's a perfect thing! Service is impeccable, the environment is clean and inviting, and the food is fresh and tasty. We ordered one savory crepe (seafood), one sweet crepe (strawberry shortcake), a mango smoothie, and a hot lavender white mocha; all were perfectly made. They close early on Sundays (2pm), so we barely cut; other days, it's 5 pm closing. My husband and I enjoyed our Sunday outing and late brunch over the weekend and will slide in to eat again whenever we are in town and want crepes. read more

Came here a couple weeks ago on a Saturday for brunch. Party of 2, $36 before tax for a Jasmine milk tea and 2 crepes (California with pesto, cheese, turkey, and strawberry banana crepe). We chose a fruit and a pasta for the sides (each crepe comes with a side). Pros: - really nice owner who we saw cleaning tables along with her workers - A surprisingly well-run restaurant despite very young workers running the kitchen and cashier (they all legit looked like high school/ college students) - Pretty fast service for dine-in of our party size - Delicious crepe ! loved the texture - Idk why I'm such a sucker for cold rotini pasta, but theirs was SO.. GOOD..I wanted to buy the entirety of the giant bowl they had in the fridge - The milk tea was pricey but quite decent! - Reasonable prices for the food, a quick but cute brunch - Easy parking lot with lots of spaces available Cons: - small space, so do not recommend for parties greater than 4. Vibes - family friendly, good for small parties, community-oriented. Not good for a first date because seems not kosher to linger for too long. TLDR; will definitely be back for the food! read more

Frodo Joe's is a childhood staple of mine. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the owners have definitely seen me in multiple phases of my life, including all of my family members! I love to see how it's been thriving even as I'm an adult and I can't help but crave their crepes. My favorite used to be the nutella & strawberry banana crepe with a thai tea. Now, my tastebuds have matured to enjoy savory breakfast meals and I opt in for the classic crepe with pesto and pasta salad on the side. You can't go wrong! The service is always phenomenal, they are quick with it. I love all the drinks. Btw, they have boba. There's outdoor and indoor seating. I've came in here to utilize the wifi and work on some projects find a quiet area to work. It's a cool place to grab breakfast, a latte, or wfh cafe style. The owners know everyone who come in, especially regulars. I love the sense of community at Frodo's. If you're ever in the area, please come and show them some love! read more

Discovered this gem on Yelp after going for a long walk/hike at a nearby regional walking trail. They specialize in making sweet and savory crepes along with specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, teas and sandwiches. My friend got one of the sweet crepes filled with strawberries and topped with nutella with a side of whipped cream and a scoop of ice cream. I wanted to get the seafood crepe (complete with shrimp and crab) but I opted for a sandwich instead. I got the tuna with avocado, tomato, onion, mayo and mustard on wheat. It was good (it was tuna) but my friends crepe is what was sold it. The crepe was not too thin or thick- just the right amount of bite and flavor. I'll definitely go back for the savory crepe. Also with your selection you get a side- for my sandwich I got the pasta salad which was flavorful. Indoor and outdoor seating- warning the inside can get a little smoky because they are constantly making crepes fresh in front of you but it's worth another try for sure. One thing that stood out was the customer service- my friends crepe was cooked first before my sandwich was ready and they had her food sitting waiting until mine was done so we could have our order served together. So her crepe was a little cold when she got it- she asked if it could be reheated. The owner I believe offered to make a new one which she didn't require- they reheated it but apologized profusely and I thought that was cool. read more
