Reviews for Blue Dot Cafe & Coffee Bar in Alameda, CA
Very fresh healthy food. Lots of good baked goods. Good place to dine
You just can?t get charm at Pete?s and Starbucks like you can get at a small coffee shop like this, especially when you walk in... and see the owner sitting down working, you can taste the dedication to the business through each pleasant sip of my oat mocha.Customer Service goes above and beyond, making me feel welcome and desired to be there. They are very easy-going, and you feelit as soon as you walk in with many people enjoying meals at tables and laughing galore. You can tell that this coffee shopscreams character charm. Closed Sunday and Monday, open five days a week until 130 get a chance to visit this lovely coffee shopand meet the wonderful owners and all of her employees. When it comes to coffee, I am always the customer that struggles withfinding the perfectly balanced espresso drink. In my experience, it has always been too hot, to milky, or not milky enough, withpast experience I always add a extra shot into my large mocha. Upon first sip, a smile formed from ear to ear as I surprisinglyfound my new favorite coffee shop. This is the only coffee shop really worth going to in Alameda. The beans are roastedperfectly, brewed At just the right time so that it gives off pleasant espresso aromas and thick Crema. The espresso tastepierces through the smooth velvety chocolate milk, evenly spreading throughout the pallet of my tongue, giving no bitter tastewhatsoever. This drink does not need any correction. It does not need any added sugar, it does not need any more milk, it doesnot need to be heated up or cooled down, it is perfect, and honestly I did not think that existed in the world of coffee.

Really great little shop. The coffee is the highlight, it is truly so good! The breakfast is wonderful as well. I highly... recommend the French toast. The staff is also friendly. The only thing that makes it a 4 is that all the savory breakfast reallylacks seasoning. Definitely worth stopping in! Read more

Though there's a great selection of eggy brunch items as well as pastries, my to go favorite thing to order is the BLT. The... sandwich is overflowing with crispy bacon. The potato salad is good but under seasoned. Order the BLT only if you like yourbacon very crispy. Please keep local businesses like this healthy by giving them your support and patronage. Read more
Really great coffee, breakfast/brunch spot. Friendly folks, casual hang out. Great for grabbing a bite, getting some work done... or just to get some coffee. Lots of space for sitting, but during its popular times it could be hard to grab a seat. Read more
A surprising find in the middle of a residential neighborhood. I avoided trying them for almost 2 years for no reason other than... the lack of seating and how crazy it would potentially get if they got slammed. Boy, I wish I started coming earlier! Theirfood is delicious and they seem to have more seating by way of an auxiliary room to the side. Their baked goods on display atthe counter were an exercise in resisting temptation. We tried their strata and the waffle with fruit. The waffle was nothingtoo exciting but my little one was thrilled at the amount of whipped cream, butter, and fruit it showed up with. My strata wasan unbelievably light and fluffy affair with leeks and bread, and a wonderfully crisp top hat. The only downside to the meal washow their bacon showed up- little porky 'rosettes' they were rolled up and baked so it was baked unevenly, the tops done.Overlooking that small infraction, and the tight seating, especially at the communal table next to where folks in line are, weenjoyed our brunch. Hopefully you'll be as delighted as I was when you pay a visit. *bonus point for the employee wearing theDIJ shirt!* Read more
What a cute cafe! I really enjoyed the local vibe here. Everyone is asked to bus their own tables, and the drinks were very... good. I ordered an Americano. I would say that the breakfasts are not exactly worth the cost. We ordered an egg, toast, andsausage breakfast and that was something easily made at home for like 1/10 the cost lol. I'd come here to hangout and getdrinks though! Read more
