    Wish I could try a Buddha Bowl w.1/2 a sandwich but they don't offer this yet
    Sherri W.

    So many hidden gems in Alameda & this one qualifies as a great place for a group or just going solo. The waiter was very attentive & friendly which always makes the stay more pleasant. Order: Dirty Turkey/ : Turkey, mushroom, thyme, Sun "dried tomato puree, provolone & white cheddar cheese with Dates. A very satisfying sandwich with a surprisingly sweet note with the dates. Nothing feels as comforting as a delicious sandwich. A definite item to have again. In addition to the sandwich I opted for their creamy tomato soup. What a wonderful surprise to find that they make it homemade. The difference was immediately noticed when I had my soup spoon full of soup with the sweetness of fresh tomatoes, the creamy milk component & fresh herbs & spices. Something I would look forward to again. Ambiance & service was superb with a personal attentiveness to our water & food. My only regret was not getting to try their Buddha Bowl salad comprised of quinoa, arugula, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, mushroom, beets, avocado, pepitas nut & balsamic glaze. I was hoping they did a 1/2 sandwich & salad, but they offer this, so I'll have to ale it a point to order that next time. Such a spacious & relaxing place! A definite place to revisit. & Creamy Tomato Soup was fresh, loved the sundried

    I've come across this restaurant on yelp before but was never intrigued to try it. Just yesterday I was looking for a place that does Belgian waffles since my boyfriend wanted it for weekend brunch. I came across this spot and looked at the menu photos and it shows a good variety of breakfast and brunch items. Today 6/23/2024, my bf and I came to dine in (sat outside in the parklet) and we were given a small menu that had maybe 6-7 main items and appetizers/drinks. (Sorry I forgot to take a photo of it.) I was a bit confused when I saw the menu after seeing a different one on the yelp photos. I'm guessing they have a rotating menu or completely changed menu? Since we didn't order that much between the two of us, it was a quick visit. Our waitress was nice overall, service was average, and the food came out at a decent time. The food tasted good and fresh. I enjoyed sitting out on the parklet. Inside has a bar area. Restrooms are cute with blue/teal walls and brass gold accents lol. Overall 3.8 stars; I wish they had other pastries and dishes to try on this day that I went.

    This review is solely on the drinks and ambiance. Such a cute place to just grab a drink and catch up. Not too busy and not too loud. Very relaxing setting. If you're just walking in park street on a nice day I recommend stopping by!

    COVID 19 REVIEW   Came here for lunch during the week and sat outside in their parklet.  There are walls between you and the street, but the best part is that there isn't much traffic on this side street.  So we sat at a table under a patio umbrella.     Service was excellent.  I had a turkey and melted cheese croissant sandwich which was just fine.  It came with chips.  The sandwich probably could have used some lettuce.     I parked in the shopping center parking lot across Park Street.   I'd eat here again.

    So what is this place? Sandwich shop? Wine bar? Coffee shop? Pub? Speakeasy? Kinda all of the above. Parking on Park St can be challenging so I parked in the lot across the street. Walking in, there's about 10 tables and a bar. Being by myself, I just pulled up a seat at the bar. I came for their Dirty Turkey croissant sandwich which was very good, although the mushrooms were a little overpowering. I also had the mango and friends tea which was excellent. On this Saturday afternoon, they had a guitar player which contributed to the hang-out vibe. The servers were super nice. Cool, relaxed vibe. The food was OK, prices were a little high for a sandwich but reasonable for coffee, tea, and drinks. I'd come back if I wanted to have a nice place to hang out for a while.

    On Tuesday this week, I was hunting around an alternative place to eat after learning that Speisenkammer was closed for lunch (until Friday, this time of year). I was so disappointed! Well, The Preacher's Daughter popped up on my Yelp app (it's good, I recommend...lol), so 2 blocks away I went. Parking is a mess with no lot and limited metered street parking. But once inside, it's a "cute as hell" place. A bar-like setting with high-top tables in the front, and on the side, a combo of high-top and standard tables. A decor is a little dated, but it was clean and I liked. For lunch, the menu is filled with salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, coffees, and lots of beers, wines, and cocktails. A special brunch menu with eggs, waffles, scones is offered 2pm. I was disappointed to learn that they offer nothing different for the evening. C'mon, a few entrees wouldn't hurt things. A happy hour menu is offered 3pm-6pm, M-F. I ordered a Farmer's Daughter sandwich [$15, 4.0 stars] -- not offered whole wheat (my preferred), I got it on a nice toasted sourdough. There were things I liked about it: sliced granny smith apples, warm onion-thyme jam, whole grain mustard; but the turkey was good taste but not great, they use packaged already sliced cut. The side salad was only kale and arugula with a lemon vinaigrette, plain yes, but excellent quality and so healthy. I think at this point I would recommend the brunch menu, and/or coming in for drinks later on. PS. Very nice service!

    Very cute bar with great tasting foods! Names and descriptions on the menu sound pretty normal like any other brunch places, but they tasted abnormally good :-) Our favorite was chicken & mushroom skewers. Slices of scallion, creamy & salty sauce go very well with grilled Shiitake mushroom and this becomes great addition to chicken skewer. We also liked Roast beef sandwich - juicy roast beef with buttery croissant. But I actually really liked salad that comes together. There's no extra special additions, but its lime cilantro dressing makes salad simple but extra refreshing. Also had malasada donuts - I was able to try both passion fruit and peach ones (thanks to very generous staff) and I highly recommend passion fruit one. I was first bit sad to know that dinner menus that I saw from older reviews are no longer available because this place is going through management and menu changes, but very soon I got happy with the new menus I tried. Hope they continue to make more hot and heavier food options as all food we tried tasted great so far! Staffs were very friendly, and provided great suggestions. Want to revisit again on more brunch time to try other menus.

    I don't know how I haven't been here sooner! This super cafe is right across the Alameda marketplace so parking is ample. The decor and ambiance is super chill and perfect for a cute date or a girls brunch. The fact that the outside of the cafe looks like a typical old Alameda Victorian house adds to its charm. The menu is pretty small and limited but that means the food is delicious! (The manager said they're working on expanding) There's a separate brunch and dinner menu, but all the food I've had is so well made it doesn't really matter what time you come. Any of the croissant sandwiches are amazing and the charcuterie board is almost too pretty to eat!!There's a full bar, but the specialty cocktails always hit. The tiramisu-tini is my favorite! They also have delectable malasadas! There's also a cute outdoor section! Coming here will always result in a good time!

    This is Walt's Adventures and I am Walt and I am reporting to you from the Preacher's Daughter in Alameda, California. This eatery is a hidden gem which I found to be far above satisfactory. The large cheese and Charcuterie is a meal onto itself and worthy of sharing. Usually when a presentation is so perfect, one can expect that they had reached the climactic conclusion of the dish. I guarantee you that this was not the case here for the taste of this meat and cheese board was without precedent. It was the finest that I have ever experienced. One would think that the main lunch course would be hard to follow. It did so seamlessly as if the meals were prepared by a master conductor. The Bacon Pesto Flatbread was delicious with its bread soft, the homemade potato salad made my taste buds dance and even the Mac-n-cheese had my 13 year old daughter wanting more. 4 of 5 for the bacon did detract from the cheese a bit and the Prosciutto was a little more pure for my taste. Unlike the film centered in Oz, I knew there had to be someone behind the curtain here in Alameda for magic was wielded and I will be returning for another round of perfection.

    First time here for myself and my friend but it won't be my last time (my friend has already been back with out me) This venue is women owned There is nice decor inside (for sale) Indoor/outdoor seating Full bar (yaaay) Music is a vibe Customer service is awesome!! Prices are reasonable I noticed some tables were "reserved" obviously you can make reservations to secure a table I had 2 mimosas and avocado toast Mimosas were good and avocado toast was tasty I also had a side of fruit Fruit was fresh Parking situation: Street parking only They have a little coffee corner area they sell coffee and pastries Super cute

    Had been wanting to try this place and I'm glad I did. A hidden gem in the neighborhood. Although there were a couple of regular tables, most of the seating were at high-top tables; I guess since it was a wine bar first before a breakfast joint. It was a bit of a challenge with little ones as the table was at their eye level and also making sure they don't slid off the seat. However with that said, it was still a kid friendly spot! The place was casual and chill. We actually met the artist that had their artwork featured at the place. That was cool! Service was ok. Although It took a while for the food to come out, it was delicious! I had the lox crostini and it was wonderful! The toasted crostini had just the perfect crunchiness and packed with flavors. The tomatoes were so fresh! We also enjoyed the croque madame, the 3 egg omelette and the bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich accompanied by the smooth and creamy Vanilla and Hazelnut lattes. Oh my.., the ube Bundt cake was scrumptious!!! The caramel drizzle added a touch of sweetness to this deliciousness. This is a must try!

    Another great visit. Alexandra is such a pleasant individual. Great service. Enjoy the outside dining and dog friendly environment. The food is amazing as always. My son ordered the omelette with chips. Little less chips would be my only suggestion. Gets too greasy. Loved my lavender latte. Very subtle but so tasty.

    Camille C.

    Drinks and food here are both very yummy, and servers are so kind! My favorite thing I've had so far might be the chocolate mousse - it's just delightful. I enjoyed all of the food I've ordered, though I found the "just Juan Kiss" to be too sweet for my liking.

My favorite part is their collection thoughtful, balanced, complex drinks. If you want a variety of delectable old fashioneds with different spirits -- you're in luck! ---- Drinks ---- The cocktails are the main reason we keep coming back! Old Fashioned menu. They actually have several varieties and I've really appreciated how they use a different spirit for each! I won't review every single one, but you can't go wrong based on what flavor profile you want. They're all relatively sophisticated, balanced, spirit-forward, and consistently well made. The rest of the cocktail menu is equally thoughtful. Complex, creative, and well executed without trying too hard or going over the top with flavors or presentation. The food is delicious as well although we're usually just here for drinks before/after a meal. More small bites than full meals, but everything we've had has been tasty and pairs well with the drinks. We really enjoyed the empanadas; great flavor and execution. ---- Environment ---- Warm, cozy, and stylish -- but not pretentious or obnoxious. Music volume is always at a level where you can actually have a conversation, which I really appreciate! It does get busy, especially on weekends, but it's never been extreme. We've been seated immediately or only with a short wait most times. ---- Service ---- Friendly, welcoming, and attentive! Always had good experiences with the staff even when busy.
