    Delish!!
    Neelab S.

    Amaaaazzzzing cafe! Very neat and clean. Workers are so friendly and lovely. Loved the Apple fusion vegan non diary drink. So refreshing. Their scone is one of the bests. If you are in the area, must try. Peaceful and calm vibe. I am not sure how they have 3.8 staring! They deserve 5 . It is close to the Costco I shop in and will be my stop for a treat moving forward. My kid loved their smoked salmon sandwich. Oh and last hugs not least, their prices are really good.

    Vanilla latte
    Jenny H.

    I got a vanilla latte with three pumps. It was perfect - not too sweet. I would like to say I really like how hot temperature wise the latte stayed. I was there for almost two hours and even within one hour the latte stayed a good temperature. I am tired of lukewarm lattes. The staff there are nice. The music can be a bit loud when you're ordering. I did some work there and I saw an outlet near me. The bathroom is not the best but better than nothing. There were no paper towels though. I'd come back. :)

    Iced sugar free nutty cow latte
    Estefania R.

    Ordered an iced nutty cow SF latte which was pretty good! They had a lot of syrup options and their seasonal menu seemed interesting. Would definitely come again to try more fun flavors.

    cherry blossom and the sakura seasonal drinks.
    Lily G.

    We got the cherry blossom and sakura seasonal drinks and they are delicious! Especially the sakura with oatmilk was our favorite and if you're into sweet drinks it's a must! The workers there are so sweet and made our day! We will definitely be back!

    This is the morning bacon burrito and the Speculoos Oat Milk shaken espresso..  which the nice lady recommended.
    Susy A.

    The people here are always super nice. The food is great and so is the coffee.. they have the ice I like, lol.The shop it self has a cool vibe and looks nice inside. Theres is a lot of variety if food, pastries and drinks.Come check them out!

    Two chunky monkey's and one coconut crunch are a delicious and homemade, almond milk is made in-house! I'll definitely be back!
    Mari M.

    Chunky monkey was delicious, they add peanut butter & banana with coffee. J would add an extra shot next time. The almond milk was made in house, which was a bonus. We will definitely be back

    Brown cow latte
    Richard H.

    Located next to the Alameda Walmart, this is a great coffee shop with delicious pastries, gelato and beautiful artwork to enjoy when dining in. The brown cow latte, which is a hazelnut latte(hot). We also enjoyed an iced mocha latte, which was also delicious. I will be sure to enjoy their delicious gelato on my next trip.

    Artsy cup to buy too
    Jim L.

    Great selection, coffee, bagels, breakfast fare, ice cream? Art on the wall and jazzy music, Two workers, so slow if there is a line, but most people would cheap it at the McD in the walmart nearby, so you can fufu here without too much wait. Huge parking lot, and about 20 seats inside, 6 chairs outside, so over 10 areas to sit, so great place to chill. Not sure about wifi, but i can get att free wifi here. So, if in neighborhood, will comeback

    I've been coming here for over 3 years and have always loved this place. I know the staff well and it's been one of my go-to spots. I usually order the same thing, but today I decided to try the avocado toast. Honestly... what kind of avocado toast was that? The middle was completely soggy and brown, and the edges were stiff and stale. It didn't smell fresh or look fresh at all. I got my food at 8:21 AM and went straight to my car. The moment I opened it, I came right back inside. I wasn't rude or demanding. I stayed calm and just wanted to bring it to their attention. I didn't even ask for a refund or remake. The response I got was disappointing. The employee told me, "We don't offer refunds or exchanges," even after seeing the condition of the food. She also claimed she had just made it, but I watched it come out of a pre-made container from the fridge.... What made it worse was the attitude. She became defensive and hostile right away, pointing at a sign immediately "saying read the no refund!" like I was trying to start a problem which I wasn't. She took the uneaten food back and still said there was nothing she could do. As someone with years of food & management experience, this was honestly unfortunate to witness with a place you have been coming to for years ..... chile It's not just about the food it's about how situations like this are handled which led to me NOT longer being a customer... Really disappointed.

    Ice matcha

    This is not matcha this is water for 5 dollars That's why this place it's empty we don't ask for quantity we need quality spend your money somewhere else people this is very disappointing

    "4oz" scoop gelato, prob at BEST 1/4 cup when it should've been 1/2 cup
    Debbie F.

    came here for gelato, and had the SMALLEST scoop of gelato that i've ever seen at any establishment! asked for small, which is advertised as 4oz, which should've been ~1/2 cup size. what we received was barely 1/4 cup. for 2 smalls, paid about $9.50 i guess the plus side is that i shouldn't be eating too much dessert anyway :) was also odd that for our different gelato orders, didn't bother using a different scoop, or rinsing the scoop other food items looked pretty good though, so maybe will try it when shopping this area again. but i don't recommend this place for gelato.

    Donna G.

    Our first there, lots of different food menu options. With a good variety for vegetarians. Coffee is good, the make their oatmilk from scratch. The owners are very nice and friendly about ordering. We enjoyed the art on their walls too. It's located in a very big and busy shopping area.

    Fernando H.

    Amazing coffee for your early morning boost. Great folk behind the grind.you're looking for an amazing coffee to kickstart your day, this is the spot. Their beans are clearly sourced and roasted with real care--every cup tastes fresh and balanced.

I like to look for new spins on lattes to see what barista's are whipping up to make things unique. I came in thinking I was going to get a basic latte, but the Borgia Mocha caught my eye! I asked the cashier if it was a good choice and she recommended it. I was a little unsure how the two would blend and how much orange they would use in it, but it came out amazing! Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique. I was instantly impressed and wish I found this on more menus! A classic mocha with a refreshing twist of orange was a pleasant surprise! I'm so glad I stopped in for a pick me up! I also loved all the art on the large walls and there looked to be plenty of tables and seating for people to eat and work at.

I adjusted the milk tea to 50% sugar but was informed the fruit tea doesn't have added sugar so can't be adjusted. I'm not sure how it's made here, but it was still quite sweet and flavorful, and the boba was the perfect level of qq. While waiting for the teas to be made, I snapped a photo of some cute cat plushies lounging on the window seat. The shop isn't very big, but I was the only customer at the time, so it was cozy but not crowded or cramped. I would come again if visiting San Leandro again.

So they do get really busy and it might be better to call in your order if you're in a rush since the ordered do seem to take over 10-15 minutes to complete. I ordered the falafel pita and my partner ordered the chicharron sandwich, which the owner said was his favorite sandwich. My partner said that the sandwich was one of the best he's had in a while and the spicy mayo it came with was pretty delicious. My falafel sandwich on the other hand was good, but I did get tired of eating it because there was not as much variety in the falafel pita as I would have liked. At times I felt like the falafel was dry, and since the sauce was in a cup, I had to spread it and wasn't super satisfied with it. The fries were fresh but the portions were a little small. We also ordered a bowl of lentil soup and a green smoothie. The green smoothie tasted as if there was no sugar added and had a lot of ginger in it, so it had heat to it. The lentil soup was tasty and came with bread, albeit a little lukewarm when we got it. Overall, we were happy with our dishes and want to come back to try the other dishes. There is only outdoor seating, but there are about 8 tables to sit at outdoors. The owner seems very gracious and proud of his establishment. He says that everything is made freshly there from scratch, including the sauces. They do get their bread from a local bakery. There is clearly a lot of care put in the food, and it is a great establishing. We will be adding it to our list of lunch spots.
