“Excellent food, excellent customer service. The veggie panini was full of perfectly cooked, flavorful veggies like eggplant & zucchini. Pesto is delicious. My partner loved his meatball sandwich, and the owner brought him generous tastes of pulled pork and bacon.Can’t believe it took us so long to try this spot. We’ll be back soon!“
“The vegetarian bahn mi sandwiches were quite good and very affordable — $8.95 as of writing this. We also got some smoothies were good. The curry tofu sandwich was our favorite of the vegetarian ones. The bbq pork was also goodOverall a very solid place to go and would go again if in the area“
“Such a great neighborhood spot in a easy to find location. I must say that the prices are quite reasonable considering how everything is fresh and prepared to order. The entry area is handicapped accessible however parking might be a challenge depending on when you go. FYI there's always parking just across the street in the Walgreen's strip mall.“
“I loved it! The customer service is amazing, the man in the counter was super nice and friendly. The place is really nice too, they also sell a lot of korean snacks. The food was really good, i ordered a bunch of things from the menu and liked all of them. The portions are big also, i had a nice full filing meal for around $20“
“Stopped in to order take out after passing this place daily. The place is no frills but clean. I ordered the Shawarma time salad. The menu doesn't have a description of the salad but it's cucumber, tomato, radish, onion and cabbage with lots of sumac, then covered in chicken and beef shawarma. It was great. I was starving so I got the large salad. They didn't skimp on the protein. It's great to have a healthy lunch option in the area. I'll be back to try the plates and wraps!“
“Do yourself a favor and eat at Juice Joint! The menu has all your favorites accommodated by a charming inviting atmosphere! I had a burrito and I recommend that and the cheese steak fries, the sandwich options were all tempting and the cheese steak menu and the smoothies were awesome ?. The food, service, and atmosphere is fantastic!“
“We tried their brunch menu and was not disappointed. We ordered from the most friendly staff at the window the Andouille Shrimp and Grits which had creamy cheddar grits, the breakfast sandwich with home style fried potatoes, Banana Bread Louise which is banana bread french toast with Bananas Foster topping and a Grains in Purgatory bowl which had farrow. Roasted vegetables and two sunny side up eggs topped with chili crisp. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the Grains in Purgatory was considering it was mostly vegetarian except for the eggs. It has the right amount of spice and the farrow had a nice bite. The breakfast sandwich had scrambled egg and thickly sliced bacon and arugula, the home fries that came on the side were perfectly seasoned and crispy. Those potatoes were the bomb! The gravy on the shrimp and grits was a little too salty for me but those creamy cheddar grits were so rich and smooth. Get the Banana Bread Louise to share for dessert! It's amazing! I look forward to trying items on their lunch menu especially the jerk salmon“
“Great place to grab a bite and get some work done. The Vietnamese iced coffee is good. As is the bahn mi. The place is pretty tiny, so I felt bad camping out on the WiFi, but I got both breakfast and lunch there, and they didn't seem to mind.“
“Visited today with my wife.. I got the DragonFruit bowl and she got Green ivory I believe and we both absolutely love it!! Definitely recommend whenever we make it back to Oakland we will definitely stop back in!! Customer service was fantastic person inside was very helpful and super nice!“
“I cannot recommend this place enough! Sheniece was very welcoming and really listened to me when I mentioned I needed something to balance out my body. She recommended the Alkalife (which was the drink of the month so it was discounted! Win-win!) Like most green drinks you can taste the veggies but the other ingredients really made it enjoyable to drink! I also got the avocado toast! IT WAS THE BEST AVOCADO TOAST IVE EVER HAD! The spread they use and the avocado to bread to toppings ratio was spot on! I will be coming back! YUMMMMM!“
“A small little to-go type of cafe. Would love to come back and try the different açaí bowls, but was really craving an avocado toast this day. The bread was on the thicker side and soft, overall the perfect snack size. The iced Yemeni latte was yummy, not overly milky but not a super strong coffee taste either. Would come again if I'm around in the neighborhood. There was only 1 person working at the time I went, so keep that in mind to be okay with being patient when there's multiple customers!“
“Made a quick trip to Blick today and got hungry, so decided to something new. I came here based off of the reviews and was not disappointed. My boyfriend for the chicken parm and I got the original breakfast on a croissant. Waited only 5 minutes, and the food was delicious. I will be back :) *Forgot to mention, the prices are extremely reasonable and the food quality really does the talking. I would've taken a photo of our food but it was just too good.“
“Excellent smoothies. I haven't had a bowl yet but look forward to it. One challenge is seeing the menu inside while ordering outside the door. The way the line forms, it's hard to tell. People absentmindedly linger near the door which can make ordering tougher. There's also the challenge of communicating your order while a powerful commercial food processor is running less than 10 feet away.“
“This spot was a place I went to every morning with my dad when I was in elementary school and it was so nostalgic stepping back in here still seeing OG's hanging out there drinking Vietnamese coffee. Simon took this place and leveled up the food, which I had high expectations for. He is so hospitable and made great conversation with me. I'm inspired by his motivation and drive to constantly better himself and his business.I was finally in town and had time to stop by for the first time to buy banh mi for my mom. I got her the banh mi xiu mai and when she ate it, she told me it was good. MY MOM ALMOST NEVER LIKES ANYTHING!! I tried some and y'all!!! She was right! If you're reading this, TRY THE BANH MI XIU MAI TODAY! I can't wait to come back again soon! Good job Simon, I'm so proud of you!“
“This establishment holds a special place in my heart, becoming my post-church ritual every Sunday. However, last week's experience was nothing short of divine. Never quite disappoint.The sampler, featuring Jack Fruit and Chickpea Curry paired with coconut rice and salad, left me convinced that the chef possesses a heavenly touch. No exaggeration – I even had to call and express my gratitude, dubbing him the Jamaican Vegan god.Usually, I have a goo5 conversation every time I stop by.Also, go to the next block and make sure you try the Jamaican smoothies.“
“Nice service, cute store with a lot of Asian snacks and great fresh fruit juice selection available. Just skip on the sugarcane juice - if you know to drink sugarcane juice, you know you’re looking for the fresh juiced canes. Unfortunately their sugarcane juice is from canned sugarcane (the time I bought it at least). I would recommend asking if it’s fresh or not :)“
“The best good and best service ever. My entire family lives going to Zs, and I bring friends and classmates whenever I get the chance. They have the most delicious and fresh food and are always so friendly and generous with their portions. If you like milkshakes, you gotta try the cookie butter, there's nothing else like it anywhere!! Will be coming back as much as we can, wish they had a truck in so many cities!“
“If you are an avocado lover like me you should try this place out. Different avocado toast options and healthy smoothies, service it's fast and friendly . Just keep in mind that it's an outdoor space so it can get very cold during winter time. Prepare your jackets !!! Pet friendly spot.“
“Just what you needed. Something to revitalize and refresh you back to life. The bowls here are fresh and service is quick. Everything looks and tastes exactly as they advertise it. Highly recommend this place!Parking: It is downtown so it is paid parking, I lived in the oakland area so I walked there and suggest walking to anyone who lives close by or if anyone is visiting the lake!“
“Small takeout spot. Pattie was decent. The filling was good but the Pattie was just a little too thick for my liking but I would definitely try it again... The smoothie was fire tho. So definitely give them a try. Service was excellent though, they seem to be very knowledgeable of their “
“My favorite boba stop. Wish it was closer to me.Someone recommended rose milk tea and I was very hesitant because I've had poupuri tasting ones previously. Yokee made it one of my top drinks!Also had a few other flavors and enjoyed them all so far.You can preorder online. They have an online ordering system in store anyway. Very tiny shop but friendly staff.“
“Hornitos are very good but outside the restaurant there is a woman who sells tamales and the other day I went to buy tamales and pupusas and I told the woman to give me salsa and curtido because that's what pupusas carry and first she told me they were $18:00 dollars and once I was there and I asked the woman to give me what the pupusas contain, she charged me $3:00 dollars more because I had asked for the sauce and curtido, but at no time did she tell me that she was going to charge me extra until that he had already put them in the bag ?️ and he told me that everywhere they were already charging me separately for everything and I told him that that was not true because I buy pupusas in several places and that nowhere did they charge me extra because that is with what goes with that meal.“
“My partner and I checked out indoor cycling class for a Friday evening. It was absolutely amazing! The studio is wonderful. The atmosphere is energetic and encouraging. The staff was so welcoming and kind. The instructor for the class, Jessica, absolutely killed it. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back. :)“
“I like this independent smoothie shop it's located on a quaint street across from Starbucks where I saved money got ice water and wrote some Google reviews and worked on a manuscript. I kept looking at O Smoothie. I got the beet smoothie. Next time I really want to get the turmeric smoothie. The smoothie was refreshing, reasonable priced and low in sugar and gave me energy for the entire day.Vegetarian options: Entirely vegetarian the turmeric smoothie stands out for health benefits“
“Recently visited the Paddington Cafe for a reunion coffee meet up with a girl I hadn't seen since high school. It was a glorious sunny day and the most refreshing thing I could consider ordering was an iced Masala chai latte. And boy, did it deliver. It was DIVINE. Perfectly creamy and chilled. An absolutely phenomenal size for what I payed. My friend got the same thing. We had a lovely catch up visit over even lovelier tea! Couldn't recommend enough. My only advice? Don't wear straps sandals in late afternoon sun. You will end up with an awkward foot tan.“
“So I recently had a 50th birthday, And my husband asked me what did I want for my birthday? I had to think because you know I had a lot of options and then I thought Ooo… All I want a Delightful Foods Bean Pie. We’ve been patronizing Delightful Foods for a few years now, and I LOVE their Bean Pie. I am extremely picky with regard to everything, especially my food. I’m the type of person to drive from Hayward to Napa for my favorite bottle of wine. Yes, they’re being pie is actually that good.As you see, this is what is left of my second bean pie. Thank you Abdullah!!!“
“Came here on a Friday afternoon after I picked up the boys. Boys wanted some ice cream on a hot day and I had a craving for some boba. We ordered through the window. Kids got some Thai tea ice cream and I ordered boba. Everything came out very quickly. The staff here is very nice and courteous. If you guys are around the area and need something sweet please come by here and try them out“
“I recently visited and was blown away by their incredible offerings. The black milk tea with boba was an exquisite blend of flavors that left me craving for more. The Hong Kong style milk tea was a delightful balance of sweetness, and the boba pearls were cooked to perfection – soft and chewy, enhancing the overall experience.What's even more remarkable is the affordability. Shockingly, Sweetheart Cafe offers their delectable treats at half the price compared to other places, like the one in Berkeley. So if you're in the mood for some top-tier milk tea without breaking the bank, this is the place to be!*THERE'S an exciting bonus for all Pokemon Go enthusiasts out there.

“Stopped by midweek and this place did not disappoint. Easy ordering via phone, prompt service, and delicious food. We got the Blue Heat 50/50 style and the Ramen 50/50 plus a strawberry boba. Both hot dogs were perfect with the right amount of cheese pull and loaded with flavor. We also got the Sriracha mayo which I highly recommend. Boba with fantastic; not too sweet with good flavor and the right amount of chew texture.“
“A cute little community coffee shop with fast service, fresh food and kind staff that seem to genuinely enjoy providing yummy options to their community.If you want a quick coffee or a yummy snack, swing by. I doubt that you will be anything other than pleasantly surprised!“
“This Quickly in Oakland chinatown is the closest one to me. I don't go there that often, but when I do, I buy some milk tea and snacks for me and my family. The owner is very nice. There are lots of drink options and snack options to choose from. I wish they were closer so I could go there more often.“
“Excellent food! I'd ordered before with Uber Eats, and this time we went to pick up lunch.I ordered the chicken pesto panini, and it was excellent. The accompanying salad was great, and came with Swiss chards and other wonderful leafy greens with a nice, pre-seasoned with just the right amount of dressing. I give it 4 stars because we were in a rush and our order took way too long.“
