Coffee Cultures Alameda

Great little coffee spot located in or near the Downtown Alameda area. The service here is very friendly and the vibe here (at least on a Saturday morning) was pretty chill. The building has a pretty cool look to it and it seems to be connected to a mixed use location with a shared courtyard. And I think they have soft serve here too! Gonna have to come back and try that as well. I believe they roast beans here (so the place smells wonderful - I also ended up buying a bag of their beans) and have a really fun menu with classic drinks as well as some different seasonal menu items. I had to get the snickerdoodle latte. It also came with a fun doodle on the side of the cup. I also got an Americana with some cream. I needed the caffeine because I was in the area relatively early to line up for a BBQ place down the street. So I didn't have a problem finishing both drinks, haha. The drinks were very tasty and this is a spot that I probably would frequent if I lived or worked in the area. There seems to be plenty of street parking - just make sure you know the ticketing rules and time limits. I ended up parking around the block in a more industrial area because I knew I needed a spot to be in for a few hours.

The Bay Area has random spurts of warm days in the fall and winter. During a few of those days, I was craving a soft serve so I hopped onto yelp and searched around for a new place to try. Coffee Cultures popped up on my feed so I went on a little adventure to try their soft serve. The location is right off the alameda bridge with some street parking around the store. The store itself has seating around huge windows to just people watch while enjoying a coffee or soft serve. It's a v chill spot and both times that I've been there, I see people working and just hanging out. The soft serve itself was perfect and I'm always tempted to get another one but one was plenty. Sorta craving one right now though I haven't had the chance to experience their coffee because coffee can be a hit or miss for me and I didn't want to experience a caffeine crash. But pictures look good so maybe I'll be back for that.

There's no shortage of local and corporate coffee shops in Alameda and I love it. The more the merrier. Coffee Cultures is quality coffee with decadent food and a beautiful outdoor space. The iced lavender latte is divine. Parking is certainly not easy as it's at a corner with heavy traffic coming in and out of alameda but I treat myself when I'm down a block for my songs Kung fu class.

Haven't been here in a while, but I checked their Yelp page after finding out that my initial plan/location to get a smoothie was closed today. I saw that they have some new drinks on their menu. I tried their jasmine matcha and it was delicious! It has the perfect amount of sweetness (simple syrup) to balance out the drink as a whole. Only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

Cute cafe! I liked the ambiance and there was decent amount of seating indoors and outdoors. Great spot to chat with friends! Parking is hard to find bc it's street parking or parking in a separate lot and walking over. Service was a bit slow but it was cause there was only 1 worker manning the cash register and making drinks. Drink wise, I thought it was just okay. We ordered a matcha latte and a regular latte. I like my drinks hot but it was just lukewarm. The barista was great at making latte art though--it was super pretty!Overall decent place for caffeine fix but nothing spectacular.

Good, real, strong coffee! Nice little area to enjoy a cup while catching up with friends.

A cafe with a great ambience! Modern design cafe with friendly staffs. Seatings are also not uncomfortable - good to sit down for a while and chat with your friends or read a book. Ordered seasonal soft serve ice cream (cookie crumble with gummies) and peppermint tea. Ice cream was good, but with gummies and crumbles, it was too sweet to finish a cup. Peppermint tea was also decent. Want to come back to try basic soft serve ice cream and coffee.Street parked around the corner of cafe. There were many spaces to park on Saturday afternoon.

A nice place to get some work done. There's a few tables and lots of counter space with plugs around. It was a rainy day when I went, but I believe they also have some tables and chairs outside. Besides standard coffee and tea beverages, I do love that they have a seasonal menu that offers unique flavors.

I stopped by here on a Tuesday to get some work done. They have a decent selection of coffee, pastries, and also beer and wine. They also have a special holiday menu and the smore's latte came with an actual smore! The drink was a bit too sweet for my liking but the s'more was a delicious treat! Overall, my favorite drink here is their matcha latte! They do have wifi but they leave the door open so if you are sitting at a table close to the door it gets very chilly and it was hard to get work done.

I came on a Friday afternoon and decided to order a lavender matcha, which was on their seasonal menu, but I was curious about their matchai (matcha and chai combination). It appeared there was only one barista working at the time, but they were friendly and efficient, so after I ordered, the drink was done within a minute.You can sign up with phone number for rewards. They have outdoor patio with various tables in the back with a colorful mural, and free wifi.It's a little tricky street parking right next to the shop itself, especially since it's right by an intersection that is next to the bridge from the Fruitvale side of Oakland to Alameda. However, if you want an easier time getting a spot, there is the Park St Landing parking lot cross the street.The drink is not too sweet, I liked that I could definitely taste the matcha nad it wasn't washed out by milk, but I did find it hard to make out the lavender flavor. Since the cup size was small, I'd say the $7 was overpriced and I took a star off the rating for that. The standard matcha probably would've been just as good for cheaper.
