An East Bay gem!…read more Lance and the crew here do their thing. Always considerate, kind, and excellent at making the food and drinks. I love the special added touch of bringing it to your table (when they're not too busy!). This place has a church that meets in the back on Sundays! This is also a proper cafe where people work on their laptops, like work work. It's also a place where regulars visit so there's a neighborhood feel. It reflects the diversity of the Bay Area and especially the East Bay. It's just a vibe all around. One of my favorite cafes, hands-down. Gratitude Coffee House, you inspire that which is in your name. Highly recommend!

Probably have to go to Oakland or SF for even better quality.

Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

Came into Uji Time Dessert today and ordered their mochi, yuzu soft serve, mango matcha, and…read morepassion fruit slush--and everything was so good. Mochi: Soft and chewy, and the ice cream inside was delicious. Yuzu Soft Serve: Super creamy with the perfect hint of yuzu. I was expecting it to be a little more tart, but I honestly wasn't mad that it wasn't. The serving was huge too! I had to share because there was no way I was finishing that large cup by myself. Mango Matcha: Perfectly balanced. The mango didn't taste artificial at all, and neither flavor overpowered the other. Passion Fruit Slush: Usually my go-to when I want something refreshing, and theirs did not disappoint. The passion fruit flavor was perfectly balanced without tasting watered down, and the slushy ice texture was everything. They even add a passion fruit jam with actual passion fruit seeds in it. I was already so full, but I could not stop drinking it. Uji Time may seem a little pricey at first, but honestly, nothing disappointed and it was worth every penny. The staff were a little awkward and didn't seem very enthusiastic--they were pretty monotone and not particularly welcoming. But everything tasted fresh and well made, so I didn't let it bother me too much. Overall, I really enjoyed everything we ordered and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area!

The mochi was chewy on the outside with a nice, not too hard, ice cream on the inside. All three flavors of the soft serve were amazing...especially the yuzu! Tables are always dirty, which given the food being served, is understandable. Lots of seating inside plus a public restroom. The price is a bit high but totally worth it. Nice place to stop by for a little sweet treat

The boba (tapioca pearls) are soaked in a brown sugar syrup that is way too sweet. Cloyingly sweet boba syrup at the bottom of my drink ruined it for me before. Recommend adjusting sweetness if you order. Saw two flies fly out of their drawers under the counter when she opened the door to get a canned lychee for my drink. Maybe the flies were landing/resting inside the open cans of tinned pineapple, lychee, etc. Not happy.

Street parking can be…read morea challenge if you come here during the day, but there are 2 parking structures nearby if you can't find street parking in front. The woman taking orders seemed friendly and we easily found a seat. I know there was a review that mentioned that finding a seat was difficult, but maybe it was the time we arrived or we simply got lucky. I ordered a hot matcha latte, sugar free and a frittata. I didnt wait too long for my drink at all. As a matter of fact, the barista was super fast! FYI: The restrooms are for customers only and it's All Gender Restrooms. You also need a code to get in so you'll have to ask an employee for the code.

I told them some jokes to make them smile or laugh while at work. Nice amount of space and it never seems overly crowded, especially when I go in there. A little bit further and in a different direction than I usually go, but nothing big or serious, so I will definitely return again.

There's no official indoor seating but we love sitting out on the covered patio. The vibes are always so pleasant. They're always coming out with new flavors, and everything we've tried has been delicious. The avocado toast is amazing, the green goddess is a favorite, and I love their chickpea salad to go too. The employees are always happy to see you and so friendly, and the other people you run into there are just as nice. They even have little toys for the kids, which is such a nice touch, especially in the weekends when the waits are longer (pro-tip: order online before going). Just a happy place to go for delicious coffee and food. Definitely a treat!

Got the bacon sausage cheddar crispy sandwich, and an iced mocha with extra mocha and no whip. The sandwich took just a few minutes to be ready. My iced beverage, about twice as long, which was still pretty quick. Everything was made well. A strong chocolatey flavor in my drink, as requested. And the sandwich was nice and cheesy, with savory sausage, bacon, and egg inside. The bacon was soggy, but I still enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The outdoor patio had a simple but inviting space for visitors, with table umbrellas for shade, which I took advantage of on this beautiful sunny day.

Towards the back there's a large conference style table and some couch chairs. By the entrance, there's a long table for personal seating as well as easily accessible outlets for charging your devices. The staff is very sweet and helpful. I brought my own cup and they were so kind to tell me that there's a $0.25 discount for using your own cup! I got the Iced Sparkling Passion Fruit Black tea. My Stanley is pretty large, but they offered to top off my cup with black tea at no charge since the drink is usually only sold in the size medium. I ordered it half sweet, but be sure to mix it around before you drink it. It's a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and refreshing!

We also got one cheese borek which was great! The Place is also a little steep - three coffees ( two were double espresso size ) and a pastry ran at $33 That said the staff were nice, enjoyed my coffee and glad we gave it a try
