    Pesto Pizza
    Lin M.

    I love the place! Discovered it around the holidays. Apparently this place has been around for a long time but it just switched owners and they re-vamped it around Fall of 2025. Has a local bar type vibe but the drinks are phenomenal. They caught me and my partner by surprise. And also everything we've eaten so far has been delicious and not bar food quality! We're excited to check out their weekend brunch. We've come a few times so far and the drinks are always top notch and the bartender is really nice!

    We came to Rae Rae's inside Joe's Corner for Fremont's Restaurant Week 2026. My husband ordered their first Manhattan Flight of the event. He loved it so much we actually came back for him to get another Black Manhattan. We also got to try their food. The garlic fries were good. Decent portion size. The nachos were disappointing. There was not enough cheese and it was served on the cold side. The last thing we ordered was the pastrami sandwhich. Unfortunately it was pretty lack luster too. Not enough meat to cheese ratio and served on sandwhich bread. Rae Rae's is definitely more of a bar than restaurant. We would come back but only for the drinks.

    It wasn't what I expected but in a good way! It was so casual, people had their drinks and walked around taking to each others. You order food and drink at the counter and someone will bring you the food but you have to grab your own drink. Seems like everyone knows each other here. I was not lucky to get table outside because there was a Bd party but I got seats at the bar in the front which that would do. Maybe another day, I can try to get a table outside again FYI, farmer salad with tuna salad add on and wings were great! Not to mention my rose(that was not in the menu) was good as well.

    Chicken pesto sandwich
    Bob K.

    Joe's apparently has a new owner, but I never went there before, so I can't compare. The Wife and I stopped in for a late lunch, and found some items on the menu. I ordered fish and chips with a Guinness, and she had a chicken pesto sandwich, which had nothing on the side unless you ordered it separately. Both underwhelmed. I had two pieces of fish, one of which had a chewy, hard to bite through section, while the chicken pesto had very little flavor. The chicken wasn't well cooked. The waffle fries were unevenly cooked. The Guinness was nice. The service was very enthusiastic. The gentleman emphasized the freshness of the pesto and other ingredients. Fresh perhaps, but not tasty, unfortunately. The place was very clean, and smelled like fresh varnish had recently been applied. Just needs a kitchen upgrade.

    Electric-Scooter and Electric-unicycle friendly!!!! the vibe here was very helpful and warm! Also pet friendly!!!!! exploring the alameda trail, i stumbled upon the perfect hang out spot for all my friends with PEVs. to our community, id consider this a gem because the alameda trail is like the hidden backroads to duck miserable traffic and bad drivers. im really glad i stumbled upon this local spot and im definitely telling alll my friends and coming back!!! i tried the Old Fashioned, the Rueben sandwhich, and the hawaiian beer(cant remember the exact name but it was delicious!) i reallly enjoyed my Fridays-eve over here!

    Joe's Corner is a solid spot if you're looking for a laid-back place to grab a draft beer and unwind. The ambiance is chill--dim lighting, relaxed music, and a casual crowd that makes it easy to kick back and enjoy the evening. Service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to check in without being intrusive. Definitely one of the highlights of the experience. As for the food? It was... okay. I ordered the portobello flatbread pizza, expecting a decent amount of mushrooms, but there just weren't enough to really make it stand out. The flavor was fine, but nothing that would bring me back specifically for the food. If you're here for the atmosphere and a good drink, Joe's Corner delivers. If you're after an unforgettable meal, you might want to explore the menu a bit more in my opinion

    pastrami sandwich, pretzels, chicken nuggets
    Rita W.

    ehhh lol pretzels had WAYYYY too much salt - also they turned hard pretty fast chicken nuggets were interesting lol pretty soft on the inside & I couldn't tell what the breading was made of - after my first bite I literally inspected the nugget tm make sure it was even cooked ; menu also only listed one price for 6pc or 12pc but was verbally told that the 6pc is ten bucks & 12pc is like 14 bucks lol - honestly would rather have had 20pc nuggets from mcds for five bucks pastrami sandwich was very standard, prob could've made a better one at home lol the artwork murals were a lil weird but maybe cus this place has history ? I'm not from here so idk lol

    Love coming to this place!! Incredible, friendly service ( Thanks, Dave!). Food is always fabulous. Had best pizza ever! Great Greek salad! Music playlist is tremendous! I'll be back!

    Cozy neighborhood bar with an extensive beer selection (they even have San Miguel!). I ordered a pepperoni pizza to go with my beer, which tasted fantastic. Thank you to Alex and John for the excellent service!

    Greek Pizza Rocks!!!!
    Jeffery M.

    This pizza is better than Italian pizzaria's.... New owners are great... the atmosphere is awesome and new owner is solid guy from Boston. Great beer taps and nice wine selection......Highly recommended!!!!!

    5 Stars All Day This Is My Local Hangout Spot All of the people that works here is great even the owner is awesome he's a great guy always welcoming I come here every day and I always see the same people here makes me feel good seeing the same people every day us locals want to keep this place here in town for a really long time Being I Live Right Here In Town

    The food here is not very good. I ordered the queso dip and it was literally Tostito's cheese from a jar. It would be too easy for them to put even a little bit of effort into producing a quality queso dip that involves real cheese and beans. Nothing on the kitchen or staff, they were great. They were nice enough to take it off our check. However, the owner's of this place have a standard of doing the bare minimum in terms of the dishes they are producing. The ambience is great. It's a nice place to gather for a social hour, just don't expect any good eating.

The Bravo omelet was super soft and fluffy, loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, and bacon--really fresh and not heavy at all. The New York steak sandwich was super satisfying, with big chunky pieces of steak and avocado that made it extra good. And the coulotte steak was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and just really well done overall. Definitely a great little brunch spot if you're in the area.

It would be incredibly helpful if this information was actually listed online to save customers a wasted trip. Because my main order wasn't available, I decided not to get food. I had already ordered two iced coffees, so I politely asked the waitress if they were ready yet, noting that if they weren't, I would just like to cancel them. She explicitly lied to me, claiming, "They are ready, sorry," and quickly charged me $18. That was completely untrue. After paying, I was forced to wait 14 minutes for two simple iced coffees. To make matters worse, I watched her serve iced coffees to other tables while completely ignoring mine. When I finally asked her why there was such a delay since she claimed they were already made, she completely flipped, gave me massive attitude, and was incredibly rude. To top it all off: The Drinks Were Awful: The vanilla and caramel iced coffees had absolutely no flavor. They just tasted like bitter, strong coffee. $18 straight into the garbage. No Receipt Provided: When I asked for my receipt, she flat-out refused or failed to provide it to me. The owner seriously needs to look into this employee's behavior and attitude toward paying customers. Lying to prevent a cancellation and then giving attitude when caught is completely unacceptable. Save your money and go somewhere that values honesty and basic customer service.

Atmosphere: I LOVE the small town vibes. Same 2 ladies always run the place. They know regulars by name, favorite order, and even details of families and travel plans!! The community makes it a very pleasant place. The inside is covered in vibrant, eye-catching murals (from a young woman artist who passed away - Fremont lore the owner can share!). There is equally colorful, mismatched, but endearing tables and chairs. The patio is huge and shaded, with many beautiful plants and cute deco! One down side is its loose sand and can be dusty. 2. Drinks / Food Drinks are insanely priced! Smalls (12 oz) are $3.80, and Larges (20 oz) are $5.50. Loved the Vietnamese Coffee (my go to now) and thought the mocha was decent. They offer lots of different breakfast and lunch foods - toasts, omelettes, sandwiches, soups, and salads. I can't eat most of them, but the bread smells SO good! 3. Amenities Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with wifi and outlets inside. Great place to study or work from home! Indoors tends to be a little busier, so I typically sit outdoors. There's parking outside with no time limit; later in the day it fills up but there's residential parking available on the same street. There is a bathroom that is a bit cramped, but functional. Overall a great, mom and pop cafe in Fremont!

When you walk in, youre greeted with a huge display case of their beautiful donuts! I came in for the first time the other day and I was greeted with a warm welcome upon walking inside. (It wasn't busy at the time i went so i got to take my time choosing my donuts). Amber was so sweet, she helped me box up my order and went over the flavors of the donuts i chose before closing the box in front of me. I got the black sesame, churro, matcha hazelnut, chocolate hazelnut, melona and the blueberry cream filled. Let me tell you these donuts are perfect if you dont like anything too sweet. My mom who usually splits one donut over the span of 3-4 days to finish, ate her entire blueberry donut in one sitting without even sharing. They do recommend that you enjoy them asap or to place them in an airtight container so they don't dry out. I did not do so, so my donut dried out (eating a dry but delicious day old donut as i write this). All in all my experience was amazing and I will definitely be coming back to try that guava donut if its there!!! I also recommend checking out and exploring their website. They have a gallery of the donuts they've created and case studies of how they come up with their flavors!

The business is both a tea room and shop with tea ware, decor, vintage clothes, and other items for sale. Reservations are a must and my family was seated promptly at 1:30pm. The menu has two tea options and we each opted for Victorian tea. They present the scone first on a separate plate rather than on the tiered tray. The scone was delicious nonetheless, served warm and with three spreads: cream, lemon curd, and a seasonal maple butter which was a standout. The sandwiches were tasty and also served warm, with unique offerings like a cheese melt and mini quiche. My favorite was a cheese puff pastry item. The cucumber cream cheese sandwich was slightly hard to the bite (possibly overripe), but still tasty. The tea menu listed all flavor profiles and decaf options which I appreciated. I ordered a decaf blackberry sage English breakfast which went well with the scone and desserts (fudge, snow cookie, petit four). I enjoyed the warm scones the most, and the savory items second. This is one of the best value afternoon tea services I've found in the Bay Area for the price. Service was well paced and all parties were well situated so that everyone had their own corner.

The parking lot is small and hard to get into but there is street parking. Review is for their breakfast, I love how they are open at 7am, it's perfect for early risers like our family. The remodeled bank is really nice and there are fun areas on both stories to explore. The windows and old bank architecture are particularly nice and you get really nice lighting throughout the day. Will be back to try their pizza based on how good the breakfast was. Breakfast Burrito: Probably the best we've had in our area. This is our taste but we don't like them too big. Avocado, eggs, sausage, and potato wrapped in a thin tortilla. The salsa this came with was excellent. My wife and I actually split this and it was perfect portions for us. Coffee: Cappuccino and Halo Beriti Pour over. You can see their timers and equipment so you know you are in for a nice cup of coffee. The only ding here is I actually asked for a flat white and the person working that day said it was the same thing as a cappucino. The cappucino was so good I was fine but I do like more coffee taste than milk which is why I asked for a flat white. Pancakes: Very well made with apple and whip cream topping, the kids ate way more of this than we thought they would. Yogurt: With granola, blood oranges, and pomegranate. We finished the whole thing, it was a very interesting blend of toppings that paired well with the drizzled yogurt.
