Classic spot, went for breakfast. They now have gluten free pancakes and toast. Big plus for our family. 3 of us have Celiac.

Satisfy your morning cravings, let me explain… I love visiting Julie's Coffee & Tea Garden, and it's always a delightful experience. This cozy café is located in a cute historic house, giving it a charming and inviting atmosphere. There is an open back patio, which is a hidden gem, and once inside can be accessed by walking down a short corridor. As a coffee lover, I have to say the lattes are top-notch. The baristas are skilled in creating a variety of different drinks, and my go-to is the dirty chai, which has a rich and bold flavor. They also have a great selection of loose-leaf teas, which I've heard are tasty too. The pastries are also quite delicious and typically made fresh daily. My favorite is the scone and Devonshire cream, which I always make sure to ask to be warmed. The sandwiches are very tasty, with a variety of options including vegetarian and gluten-free options. The grilled cheese is particularly tasty with aged white cheddar melted between two slices of buttered sour-wheat bread! If you're looking for something homier and breakfast oriented I also recommend the baked eggs, which typically have a seasonal vegetable as a main ingredient. The service at Julie's is friendly and attentive. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. Overall, if you are visiting Alameda, or are a local, I highly recommend visiting Julie's Coffee & Tea Garden for breakfast and brunch. The café offers so much (including wine and alcoholic beverages) that I highly recommend this location for any casual meetup and gathering. Seating can be limited though. You won't be disappointed! The Local Secret 🤫 Order a head of time for pickup!

Very clear gluten free options on the menu! Service was excellent - they made me a custom non-alcoholic beverage and offered to take it back if it didn't taste good. Lovely atmosphere. Potato pancakes are amazing.

Delicious veggie omelette with gluten-free toast, others ordered French onion soup, salad, avocado toast and lattes. Good quality, matches the price. Expect a long wait

As a Colombian living in the Bay Area I thought I had found the glory. I thought I was going to go and expect real Colombian bakery, but that wasn’t the case. First, the atmosphere wasn’t all that and I believe it had to do with the service, they were not that friendly. Second, the food was not that great. The pan de bono, which I was going for was disgusting. Luckily, I had ordered other things, but were just OK. I mean, for each their own, but this place is fake Colombian food. Even if they are trying be in the“gluten-free” wave, they should also have options of authentic Colombian things, that way people get a real taste of Colombian goodness.
