    This cafe is actually bigger than we expected. It has outdoor seatings in the front and back as well as indoor seatings. The back patio is super cute for a photo. We ordered chorizo hash and horchata latte for 2 people to share. The chorizo hash was so good! It was a perfect size for us to share. The horchata latte was not to our liking - maybe it's the sweetener that was used. The after taste was a bit off. Overall, it's a nice place to check out on the weekend.

    Ham and cheese croissant, a small espresso and a medium latte. All delicious!

    Everything was delicious! Just visiting and stopped here twice on our trip. The outdoor area outback is really nice!

    Absolutely delightful little café with all the breakfast and lunch items you could want. Staff are very fun and friendly. And the vibe is cozy and casual. Food was delicious!

    Stopped here for a quick brunch before an event in Alameda. There was a line of about 10 people but it moved quick, the staff is definitely hustling when it's busy! I had an iced Mexican mocha that was delicious, definitely recommend. For food I got the chicken and pesto sandwich, which was tasty. I did think the chicken was a bit bland, and could have used more pesto. Also the sandwich was so hot and the parchment paper seemed to have melted a bit into it, so had to dig some of that out. Overall a solid option if you're lucky for a quick breakfast or lunch.

    Surprised I haven't reviewed Wescafe yet! Wescafe has been a staple cafe/restaurant on Alameda's west side for a long time, and we've been here a number of times over the years. Including today, on the eve of 2026, to fuel up for a day and night of ringing in a new year. NYE is always a big deal to me as I, perhaps naively, hope for a better year ahead. This is a cozy spot for breakfast or lunch. Cozy, but not cramped. Nicely laid out and tastefully decorated. There is ample seating, inside, as well as on the lovely patio/garden in the back, but it does get busy. The place is popular, and for good reason. The menu has something for everyone: Breakfast plates, bagels and breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, frittatas, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. They have an extensive menu of espresso drinks, so if you like coffee, this is your place. Also, fresh squeezed juices and smoothies, wine, and beer. A hardworking group of people keep this place running smoothly, despite how busy they get. When you visit, say hi to Pepe, and tell him Andrea and Richard sent you.

    Casual dine in cafe with indoor and very limited outdoor seating. The ambiance is very serene yet vibrant; I love the calming energy and vibes here. I had tried the caramel latte, chai tea latte and some pastries, one of the best that I've had. I can't speak for the other items as I've not tried it yet but I look forward to next time. Aside from food and drinks, they have a small selection of WesCafe merchandise shirts on the side wall; there are other candles, tea, mugs and other little trinkets for sale. The staff are very kind and polite; they go above and beyond to make sure that your order is right. It's obvious that they take pride in what they do. I love their positive attitude and energy. I am looking forward to trying something new on their menu, next time around!

    Walt from Walt's Adventures currently adventuring in Alameda, California and I find myself at the Wescafe. This eatery has street parking and both indoor and outdoor back patio seating. Our party ordered and chose our experience to be stationed in the back for it was covered and serene. Their menu items were not extensive but sufficient for too many choices can be exhausting. Their food was quite good. I would highly recommend this restaurant for their primary focus was relaxation. Both their Inside our outside environments had a sense of tranquility. 4 of 5 for their timing was not in sync during our visit. Each of our selections arrived at different times and beverages were purchased individually. If you're looking for an alternative to the usual but just a place away from the hustle of the city then look no further than Wescafe.

    Casual dine-in café with outdoor seating. You place your order at the counter, and the staff brings the food to your table. The team is friendly and welcoming. My breakfast was delicious, and I loved the latte art on my coffee. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable--I really liked spending time there with friends.

    Great cappuccino this morning, the photo is of my second one as I drank the first one before I thought to take a photo. Lovely cafe, with a nice vibe inside and out. Nice people work there, too!

My dad wanted everything on his sandwich as well as lite mustard and etc and the lady who makes the sandwiches wasn't listening and kept trying to say she got it and she's working on it. I've worked in food service for years and it is important to hear what a customer is asking for because after all, it's their food. We got home, no tomatoes, sandwich was missing stuff, my boyfriend's sandwich was missing stuff. It was disappointing. My father was very upset. I think they could be more friendly as well as being more adapting to certain people who are just communicating a specific need or want in their purchase. We will be calling later in hopes to remove or change this review. Thank you.

It's more of a grab and go spot as there's only one small table outside with two chairs-there is a dog leash hitch though that's handy! Great place to stop by for your sandwich or Italian fix!

Great texture. Yet despite the heartiness, you can really taste the quality of the ingredients (they source their ingredients from Italy). I've enjoyed talking to the wife (co-owner with her husband). She's really friendly and passionate about the food she serves. She told me her husband is from Italy, and you can really feel the pride in the food. Pro tips: It's best to call in early to order ahead! You can pay at pickup. Why? Because they often sell out early! Once the bread runs out, you're out of luck (and there will be a sign on the front door saying so). There can also be a very long wait time if there are a lot of orders. Lastly, check their IG everyday for the sandwich they're promoting that day based on their available ingredients! Seriously can't wait to return and try the meatball sandwich.

I took my food to-go. I had the Citric Hot Chicken Sandwich w/ Seasoned Fries. I liked the Citric Hot Chicken Sandwich. It was spicy, but not numbing hot. The slaw sort of smoothed out the spicy heat. It's made from thigh meat, so it's moist and easy to eat. I didn't like the seasoned fries. They cut the potatoes into thin fries that don't travel well as takeout. Probably okay if you ate them right there, fresh from the kitchen. If I go back, I'm just getting a sandwich.....no fries.
