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.

I ordered it with 100% sweetness, but when I received it, it wasn't nearly as sweet as it should've been. I've had this same drink at many different Sharetea locations with the same sweetness level, and it's always been perfect, so this one definitely fell short. Thankfully, the staff was kind enough to remake it for me (thank you!), and the second version was much better. 8.9/10 Boba - I usually come to Sharetea for their mini bobas, which are my favorite and a big reason I choose this chain. Unfortunately, this location didn't have mini bobas , so I went with the regular ones instead. They were still good, just not quite the same experience I'm used to. Cost - $6.87 in total.

Came here recently for some acai bowls and left with a happy tummy. The shop is located in a strip…read moremall along Hesperian with many busy small businesses. Pick&Sip is a cozy shop with simple fresh options -- many of them of a tropical palette. My boyfriend and I got bowls with the following: * bananas * blueberries * strawberries * chia seeds * granola * Nutella The size was comparable (and potentially bigger) than most other places that serve acai in the area. My favorite part? The affordability! Most places I've been to in recent time make similar bowls going from $15 upwards but this place was slightly below that price. The staff here worked quickly and provided excellent service. I can't wait to come back again!

I have been craving taro so I ordered the Taro Milk Tea since they supposedly make it from scratch. I was happy to learn they had nondairy options. It was not reflected as an itemized charge in the receipt but there was an unexplained $0.75 so I'm thinking that's the non-dairy charge. The drink itself was decent. For the price, I'd rather get the taro at Chicha Sanchen instead. This location is hangout friendly and has plenty of tables for the guests. It's a little dim and the barely any AC if that matters. I didn't mind it but it was noticeable.

Walking around Pelton Plaza, I saw that they had an i-Tea place here. I am a fan of theirs drinks…read more They have a fairly "vast drink menu" and snack menu.

Order: 1 BBQ Chicken Bánh Mì…read more1 Mango Cane Nước Mia Total: $16.09 The Bánh Mì was PHENOMENAL! The bread was so soft yet crunchy and flaky--I could tell it was extremely fresh. The BBQ chicken was very tender with no fat and cooked with delicious spices. Just incredible. The veggies were also very fresh and crunchy. With every bite it just kept getting better. It's a pretty big-sized Bánh Mì--you can easily eat half and save the other half for later. The mango cane drink was delicious and very refreshing. I enjoyed every sip of it. Food: 10/10. The service was excellent! The young ladies working there were very welcoming and sweet. One even grabbed me a stool to sit on while I waited for my order, which was very thoughtful. The wait was not long 5-10 minutes. Not many customer around 12pm on Friday. Customer service: 10/10. The ambiance is cute. It's located in the heart of downtown Hayward near City Hall. The establishment is tiny, but they do have stools where you can sit and enjoy your Bánh Mì it's almost like being in Vietnam. There's no outside seating. Parking can definitely be challenging. You can park in the Lucky's supermarket lot, across the street in the parking structure, or if you're lucky, find street parking right in front of the establishment. This might be my favorite Bánh Mì spot. I will definitely be coming back. I just hope one day their hours and days expand. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Disappointing experience overall ): I would return to try their sugarcane juice, but definitely will not be getting another sammie.
