The Beanery

Great cafe nestled in the Alameda Marketplace.I like to work here from time to time since they have a nice amount of tables Does get a little noisy but I just pop in headphones. They close at 3 but I left about 20 minutes after so it was nice they didn't kick everyone out

The SF bagel on everything. The seasoning on the everything bagel was a little off and a little bit. It was burn a bit. Good amount of cream cheese (plain)Tomatoes and bacon. I enjoyed the touch of the pepper seasoning. Tomatoes were very fresh and cold. Overall it blended well and tasted great for a snack. Vibe is a bit off since it's inside a grocery store. Complimentary water.

My family loves coming to The Beanery, especially for their spicy chicken panini! It's such a perfect lunch (or anytime) meal. The spicy sauce is really flavorful and not too spicy. The chicken is well cooked and not too dry. And the panini is perfectly toasted. I've gotten coffee from here as well and have never been disappointed. Most recently I also got an Italian soda. It was a little sweet for me so next time I'll ask for less syrup. But I still really liked it! They have SO many flavors available, I almost didn't know which to go with. If you need somewhere to start, you can't go wrong with orange (it's basically just an orange soda).Parking in the lot can be tough - there are plenty of spaces but it is shared with all the other businesses and restaurants. I would recommend parking on the street or in the neighborhood nearby as The Beanery is on the farther end of the market, away from the lot. They've got lots of tables, both inside and outside, if you plan to stay awhile. I even noticed a lot of people with their laptops, getting some work done. The cafe is accessible on its own from the outside but you can also get there by going through the market.

Service was ok. The cashier was very nice but the barista could've actually filled my latte, or at least offered . Pecan bar is delicious Crème brûlée bar is ok , the crust was soggy and something in it was grainy. Tasted like flour? My latte was very light when i picked it up, I told the barista and she assured me it was full... it had about 1in of foam... sooo NO, it was not full. However it was a very good Latte. They have good espresso. They offer breakfast and lunch options. Would definitely come back to try other menu favorites.

I had the vietnamese coffee and lox bagel. The vietnamese coffee didn't taste as strong compared to the usual. It was still good and kept me awake for a while. As for the bagel, I found it a bit too firm. This place isn't big, but there's a good amount of outlets which make it nice for studying.

I've been going here for years and have ordered everything on the menu at one time or another. My go-to's are the lox bagel, petite egg sandwich, organic veggie sandwich, or the sampler with hummus. To drink, I usually get a double latte with oat milk and vanilla. Today I had the Thai iced tea with oat milk. I have never, ever had a bad drink or incomplete food here, and that is quite impressive since I have also worked as a barista and sandwich maker. No matter who makes your drink or food, it will always come out perfect. I love spending my money here.

Cute little spit inside a food hall. People love their coffee cause the line was quite long! We also got food which were some bagels and they were pretty yummy after our little morning walk over the bridge. Nice area so definitely take the food on the go and explore the city or just have a nice little sidewalk patio meal!

Nice community cafe, people of all ages come to this cafe to hang out or work (there are lots of outlets). It's your classic American cafe, with coffee beans incorporated in the table, dark wood furniture, warm colors, and cozy art on the walls. You can tell it's been around for a while. My friend and I had the Vietnamese coffee, which was sweet and although I agree with other reviews that it's not as strong as other Vietnamese coffees I'm used to having it's still a good amount of caffeine especially since we ordered a large! I was very pleasantly surprised to see that this cafe is able to keep their prices down. Come here for an affordable latte! Plus they've got plenty of sandwich items too! It's inside of a market area so is a lot of other eateries and grocery shopping you can do while you're there. We saw the tea shop next door start to set up for their anniversary celebration, so it was cute to see the tight knit community here.

Coffee good enough. Not High Wire but more seating and food offers. Staff helpful. Adjacent to complete market that has everything orgaanic.

Somehow everything is good here. The coffee, the smoothies, the pastries, the sandwiches... These may actually be some of the best sandwiches in Alameda.Remember those delicious turkey sandwiches the Costco food court used to have? Well, The Beanery's turkey panini is almost exactly that, and just as good.
