I have been to several places that offer acai bowls, and Main Squeeze in Alameda does a great job!…read more Of course, the place could use more seating, but I'm okay with taking my bowl to-go. I was there on a warm Sunday, just to try their acai bowls. There's four acai bowls on the menu board, so I asked the gentleman behind the counter....."which is the best acai bowl?" With confidence, he said...."the Oasis Bowl." He likes the Oasis Bowl because it features seasonal fruit. That means the recipe and taste experience can change with the seasons. When I was there, the seasonal fruit was pineapple. This place makes a good acai bowl. For $13.00, it's not overflowing with fruit toppings. Instead, it's packed with fresh fruit, crispy granola, chia seeds, honey and coconut flakes on top of a acai base. It's definitely a meal, not a fruit bowl snack. The interior is very clean. It has a small outdoor patio. According to signage, there's no indoor seating. Main Squeeze is located near the Park Street Downtown. It's walking distance from the Alameda Theatre, public parking lot, and Alameda High School.

Upon doing so one of our friends said this spot had really great drinks to help soothe your stomach. We ended up getting a turmeric coconut shot, and it was spicy and smooth, but literally helped us all with digestion!! I could not believe how much ginger was in that drink but goodness it tasted delicious!! I can't wait to go back and try other drinks here!! Oh service was quick and the menu was also easy to read!!

Coconut cream accentuates the flavors of mangos and strawberries. Cold and refreshing. Not overly sweet. Thick and creamy profile, not watery at all. Did not notice any chunks so it is blended very well. $12 for small. $17 for large. Definitely worth the price if you count all of the high quality ingredients that goes into them. 20g of protein and 200-250 calories. Hope to try the rest of the menu. Good job Drink Thicc!

Ever since the viral onslaught of Erewhon smoothies have been inundating our social media feeds…read moreover the past year or so, my girlfriend has been FIENDING for a potential dupe here in the Bay Area to try. Lucky for us a few months ago we found out about Drink Thicc and how popular it had gotten and we needed to try it at least once. The shop is only a takeout window but nicely decorated with that white brick that stands out super nicely, similar to how that old Mr Holmes' Bakehouse was like back in SF or LA. We ended up just getting a large to share, which was still pretty pricey at $17, albeit not nearly as price gouging as Erewhon. We tried the Berry Thicc and sure to it's name, it is very THICC - like legitimately hard to drink at first. The coconut cream whip, mixed with all the different berry flavors was quite refreshing, although there was an aftertaste in there that wasn't as appealing to me personally. It also was very filling just as many other customers have noted, probably from the amount of fruits and protein they pack in there. Not too shabby - would absolutely try again as there other flavors seem pretty enticing as well.

A good deal of variety, in general. With the bowls, they're pretty simple, two base flavors and pick your own toppings. Excellent! Service was fast & fuss free. However, when I went to dive into my bowl, I couldn't find the base fruit (I got dragonfruit). My bowl was mostly toppings. Definitely the smallest bowl I've ever been served. So if you like açaí & açaí type bowls, I wouldn't suggest this place. If you're someone who likes bowls just for the toppings, then you're at the right spot. I showed them how I could barely find the dragonfruit, but they said that's what their bowls look like - they weigh it to the half point and then add toppings.

Overview: nostalgic, my favorite boba place that offers mini boba!, delicious and fresh food…read more/snacks too ---- I used to come here all the time back in high school when it was located across the street in front of the bus stop next to the martial art place. I'm so glad that they are still open and running. They have happy hour from 6-8pm with discounted drinks and food which is great for the high schoolers in the area and to just hang out there too! I LOVE mini boba, so much more than the regular sized boba balls and T4 is one of the only places I know that still have the option to add it. I got my favorite Wintermelon Milk Tea for $6.35 ($5.75 for reg size + $0.60 for mini boba topping) and it was just like I remembered it. Sweet, creamy, chewy, and refreshing. I also got the Popcorn Chicken $7.75 which they offer sauces like ranch and sweet chili (there are more options but I forgot). It came out piping hot and the chicken was still tender and juicy, also had crispy basil on top. The girls working were so sweet too! You can either order directly from them or through their small kiosk iPad on their counter. There's plenty of seating but parking is always an issue. We had just come from playing at SubPar Mini Golf so we left our car over there and just walked a few minutes. ---- Overall: a classic boba institution that I'm so happy still operates, fresh food and drinks that tastes the same as I've had them years ago! I can't wait to be back when I'm visiting Alameda again!
