The service was a little slow, and not super duper out-of-the-way friendly, which is usually fine, but when I say "thank you" to someone, I sort of expect a response back. The drinks were ok. I like mine sweeter so it was nice that they have sugar packets and simple syrup out. The tomato butrata toast was cold by the time we got it :/ Not enough tables, imo. No public bathrooms. They have spoons out to stir your drink (with a corresponding dirty spoons container), which I appreciated. read more

Lazybird Coffee - Rose lychee latte cold and hot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Finally walked here to try this for the first time after a year of saying I'd do so First off, the colors and decor of the business is such a vibe. I also love the adorable Lazybird logo- very cute. Essentially, the place looks inviting and you WANT to try it. The menu is very extensive with all different kinds of lattes from your classic Chai to a Honey Lavender or even a Samoas (Girl Scouts cookie) latte. If you know me, you know im a sucker for lattes and I had to try the Rose Lychee latte. I ordered mine iced with oatmilk and it was delicious! I could definitely taste the rose and little hints of lychee, nothing too overpowering. I would definitely get this again. They also have different pastries and food items. Along with my latte, I got spam musubi and a morning bun, but if I had more room, I would've definitely ordered their breakfast burrito. Inside is a nice place to chill and work as many were doing. Outside is very chill and you get to watch the cars go by. The outdoor seating was spaced out enough where I was able to bring my big 'ol stroller and not have to worry about if I was getting in anyone's way, so that's always a big plus for me! 10/10 recommend. Will be back again sometime this week! read more

Ladybird is a cute little coffee shop on the west end. I ordered an iced ube latte, it was perfect. It wasn't too sweet or too bitter it was just right! They have food and sweet treats as well. I definitely will come back to try other things. read more

Love this place. One thing though, the person at the register never smiles or acts like she is having a good time, lol. It would make coming in that much more pleasant if a customer felt welcomed. Just a thought. read more

Meh this place is mediocre at best if you're a real coffee fan. Tried the horchata latte today and it tasted like bland oatmilk. Had to go home and add a extra shot of espresso. Peets makes a better one IMO. I have had their chai before and that was decent but their coffee/latte's are lacking to me. Maybe next time I will try something else. Girl at the front looked miserable being there. Prob wont be back anytime soon. read more

It's alright. Don't think two beverages (one strawberry matcha and one tiramisu latte) is worth $18 and some change though...not here at least. Tried to give it another go. Have been here a bunch of times but recently stopped because sometimes they're good, other times okay, and some other times it's a "wth is this?!" read more

Food - Terrible. Save your money Drinks - Decent. Lots of flavor options, but often too sweet. Atmosphere - Cozy & Cute Customer Service - "MID" (aka mediocre). Not overly friendly. read more

I cannot with how much I love Lazybird! Been there twice and each time I got the congee with optional add ons: kalua pork, fried egg, and chili crisp. It is, no joke, the best congee I've ever had. The pork is smoky, the broth of the congee is so flavorful and perfectly savory/comforting. I will be back again and again for this. Each drink I ordered at each visit was perfect as well. The first time was a daily special, I think -- a rose and lychee latte (if I'm remembering correctly!) and the second time I had them make an Arnold Palmer out of their Yuzu lemonade and black mango iced tea. DELICIOUS! No photo because I consumed everything too happily to pause with my phone and take a picture! Next time I'll try... read more

Cute cafe on the west end that's dog friendly! There's a handful of patio chairs and tables outdoors with a small seating area inside. Pastries are from semifreddis, but they also have spam musubi-with Furikake! Got here and the spam musubi was still warm too-great complement to my coffee. Service is friendly, parking can sometimes be tough here so you may need to circle around. read more

First time at Lazy Bird Coffee and I'm already obsessed. Their menu is packed with fun flavors like ube, pandan, yuzu, and even congee! I had to try the congee and it's a solid 10/10. Also grabbed a horchata latte, which was perfectly balanced and so delicious. The space is clean and inviting, with a chill vibe, and the staff were super friendly. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Samoa latte was yummy and def sweet as well but not crazy too sweet, the morning bun was yummy and very cinnamony - pretty sure it was firebrand which is good brand! Nice lil place to stop by and get a fun drink with a fun pastery because they did have some fun pasteries and treats like an ube cookie or a choco coffee bread pudding ! read more

A cute little coffee shop serving up an array of baked goods and fun coffees. The decaf cappuccino was smooth and well made. The brownie sadly was not my favorite. While it looked fudgey and rich, all the things one wants in a brownie, it was dry and cakey, all the things one doesn't want in a brownie. I didn't even know they served more substantial lunch offerings so I tried the smoked salmon over quinoa and added avocado. While healthy, the smoked salmon overpowered the dish, with nothing to offset the extreme saltiness of the dish ... it didn't quite work. While not bad, I wouldn't necessarily say I enjoyed it. Overall, I'd come again for the coffee and try a different baked good and leave my lunch for another place. read more

Delicious food and pretty solid lattes. The smoked salmon avocado toast was fresh and delicious-- the bread was toasted perfectly to match the creamy avocado and cream cheese along with the crunch of fresh cucumber. Definitely would order this again. The turkey brie panini had a delicious crunch and rich melty brie and arugula. Salty, satisfying, and savory. The atmosphere was relaxed, clean and casual-- with comfortable outdoor streetside tables and inside seating as well. We took our food and coffees to some picnic tables at a nearby beach cove for a nice view. read more

i absolutely love this place! the breakfast sandwiches r great and so is the coffeee/matcha's! Also the workers r so sweet and patient, even when it's super busy! read more

WHEN: Thur @9am This cafe may be limited in seatings, but it sure has an extensive menu of food and drinks! There's pastries with donuts (day old ones for half off!), cookies, etc. I had: PANDAN LATTE (12oz) - $5 Be careful, it's hot! It's good though! I love pandan and so happy they serve this. The Pandan flavor is quite subtle though but still fun. Between my friend and I, we shared: CONGEE - $8 + Chili Crisp ($1.50) + Yau Chou ($1.50) + Kalua Pork ($1.50) Despite adding every options available this was pretty bland. It definitely has potential it's just lacking the salt (or maybe fish sauce!). SMOKED SALMON AVOCADO TOAST - $14 I was quite impressed with this! This is easily shareable, and we enjoyed this very much! CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO BREAD PUDDING I think this would be better warm cuz I thought it was just okay, although very sweet with all the chocolate chips! The problem with all the pastry selection is they don't have any labels--no price nor name. But they sure have a variety! I just know that day old donuts are half off. My friend and I lucked out with a table I think because we came early. I'd still like to come back and give it another shot, and try the different items, like the Ube Latte and other pastries. read more

Wonderful little coffee shop with great tasting coffee! My husband and I really enjoyed our coffee date here with our dog. We sat outside and just people watched. There were a ton of people coming in and out, and the staff here are very efficient. They had a ton of breakfast items and pastries that looked and smelled great. read more

We tried to get coffee today and they have no drip coffee, so no cafe au lait. The music was so loud we could barely hear the barista who when we asked had nothing else to offer. Very sad to see this place went downhill. I would not recommend. read more

Came here today on a Sunday stormy weather in the Bay Area. I had an hour to kill between church and my hair appt. I was gonna do the usual route of going to Starbucks but thought I'd switch it up. I of course opened my Yelp app to look for a coffee shop and found lazy bird. I initially looking for cafe that has indoor space so I can sit and blog and was surprised when I saw they have congee, say less. When I got there it was not busy, there were a few tables occupied but I found a space on the counter to sit. I ordered a chai latte w oat milk and of course, congee w pork. They asked me if I wanted chili oil and I said yes and made me really excited. A few minutes later they called out my name for my drink - so delicious!! I was worried it'll be too much spice but it's perfect! A few more minutes they served me my congee in this big black bowl I can still see the steam!! I was a bit disappointed bec it was pretty bland even w the chili oil. And I felt like the pork in it didn't belong there. I still ate some of it though then took the rest home to add more things and was still happy to have some congee on a rainy day. Oh they didn't have WiFi. I thought that was odd for being a coffee shop. I'm def going to go back to try their other menu items and other drinks!! The ambience and service were great! read more

Lazybird Coffee - Congee w pork - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

Overall we have been coming here for about a year now, and loved the place. The coffee was good, and the pastries were fresh/usually very good as well. The only bummer is that when we went today I ordered 2 of an item and only received 1. I saw that I was charged for two on the screen, and based on the receipt. I understand that I should have checked, but when I grabbed the bag I thought I felt 2 items. We did not realize we were not given the right amount until we arrived home 30 minutes away. Just a shame that a bit more care is not taken when customers are being charged $4 for an item they did not receive. I get that we all make mistakes and get sloppy when we get busy, but it is just a bummer that the mistake was not caught. read more

First time visiting. Charming cafe with great coffee options. Street parking can be hard to get.

Visited Lazybird on a Saturday afternoon. It's a casual and cute space. Street parking was easy to find on Weber Street. Service was sufficient. Ordered an iced mocha with nonfat milk, and a griddled cheese panini, all for takeout. There was no wait to order, but it took a little long till my food and beverage was ready, considering there were no other customers in the cafe while I was there. But it was worth the wait. The iced mocha was smooth and delicious, a nice chocolatey flavor, and the sandwich was super cheesy, three types of cheese (cheddar, smoked gouda, and mozzarella) melted together into a thick gooey layer, and the sourdough had a nice crunch, it was yummy! read more

The iced blueberry matcha tasted like dirty sink water was used- similar to sanitization solutions scent? It tastes like tap water in the aftertaste. Okay upon first sipping, but the residual was so bizarre- second guessed my opinion until it was too late to ask for a remake. Ridiculous price point, $7! The strawberry is $6. For the blueberry to taste so odd I'm just not sure it's worth it. Food tho? Really good. I've had coffee here before and really enjoyed it, I'm just never touching their matcha again. Service was pretty good, shop is cozy, food again-- really good Also the paper cup is starting to feel weak the longer the drink sits, so I'm not sure this is the best packaging. read more

Why haven't I come here sooner?! Lazybird coffee is the cutest shop. On a weekday morning, I easily found parking on the street. The shop itself doesn't have a ton of tables inside, so might not be the best for working/studying with a group. It looks like people mostly go for takeout though. I went with one of their March specials, the honeycomb latte. So good that I'm still trying to figure out how to replicate it at home so I could have it more often. I also got a banana bread slice, which was a perfect complement. I didn't realize they had so much food here too! Pastries, desserts, spam musubi, and a large menu of sandwiches and toasts. This time I went with their Kalua pork jalapeño slaw sandwich ($15). Not my favorite. I think there was something about the slaw that just didn't mesh well for me and the Kalua pork could've used more flavor. Maybe I got it on an off day, but not sure if I'd order it again. I'll def be back to try some of their other lattes though! read more

Great ambience, food, and service was excellent!! Super friendly baristas :)) coffee was super yummy definitely recommend honeycomb latte.

First time I went there: Got THE most chicken sh*t avocado toast I've ever had. Bread slices were stale, razor thin and tiny. Barely any avocado...all for 10 bucks?? No thank you. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and I'm never coming here again. Second time I went, I paid 35$ for two lattes and two croissants...am I missing something here? Ridiculous. Really putting the Lazy in Lazy Bird considering I had to wait 15 minutes for two pre-made croissants. See you never. read more

The Avocado Toast is incredible -- I don't know what the secret is but it has the perfect savory flavor! Love the vibe of this local coffee shop, really everything they serve is delicious but I mainly stick to the Avocado Toast (it's that good, can't get enough of it). read more

Really cute spot that's light and airy with a cozy vibe. The chai latte was very sweet, but when I mentioned it, the barista made a redo without issue. The food looked good, too. Would love to try next time I'm there. read more

Lazybird Cafe opened where Jay Coffee & Tea was. infrastructure usual for a cafe: small service counter with pastry display, menus on wall & counter, limited seating inside and out, filled to capacity. standing room only for take out orders if one can find an unoccupied space. offerings: pastres, coffee, teas, sandwiches, salads. Brew: matcha latte (4.50) -harmonious mix of matcha and milk, none overpowdering it's coinhabitant, artisanally creating an unique, unmatched taste...matcha so real! eats: thai chicken salad (13) -a mix of small tender chicken pieces, with schredded green papaya, cabbage, carrots, lemongrass, cashews,with peanut dressing.. -my eyes saw "what's this?" my nose smells: "oders and things interesting". my tongue & teeth liked the crunchiness of the small pieces. my stomach was so happy with the unami and flavor combinations it was content to rest quietly afterwards. drips: -busy up to it's closing time. just one amigo doing the sandwiches & salads. i was quickly acknowleged, extended courteous, efficient service. latte ready in 5ish minutes, salad ready in 10 minutes. -limited seating inside and out. -parking not easy but doable in the neighborhood. read more

Glad I found this place! And two blocks away from a park. I love their unique coffee and food options. They offer an ube latte, although it wasn't as prominent with ube flavor (likely because I asked how sweet it was at first). So I would suggest ordering it as is. They also have congee among many other food options. I always crave a good congee for breakfast. Never seen that in a coffee establishment before. I ended up grabbed a small mochi muffin and a morning bun which were not tasty. They had beignets and donuts when I was there too! It's a small coffee shop, filled with locals. I would def go back. read more

Came here for a coffee date with my friend on a Thursday morning around 8:30am. Staff and Service: - The staff were all very nice and calm - The service was a little slow. It was quick to get drinks and the pastries in the front display; however, took about 20-25 minutes to get an ordered sandwich (the shop wasn't busy at that time). So expect to wait quite some time, especially if it's during a busy time Food and Drinks: - Matcha Latte: ordered this with almond milk. Definitely more on the bitter side, but was tasty. Won't be your jam if you prefer a sweet matcha latte - Breakfast Burrito: these are ready to go in the hot display case. This was tasty and was a good size for me (will not be enough if you're really hungry). Due to sitting in the display case, it was a little soggy from the avocado Miscellaneous: - Limited street parking with signs (most of the signs were 2 hour parking from 9am - 6pm) - Tables available inside and outside read more

Quality cup of oat matcha latte. Nice matcha flavor and they can sweeten it up ôn request. Crème brûlée donut was definitely.m a highlight! The top is glazed and the crème brûlée filing is creamy, light, & not overly sweet. They also make spam musubis here! Nothing like a warm and fresh musubi in the morning with your warm cup of matcha. Really love their interesting sweet and savory pastries as well as other savory menu items. I have my eye on the tomato burrata next! Though be aware that they change out their food items periodically so the menu stays interesting. There's a bathroom inside and a few tables inside and outside. read more
