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.

Fantastic pizza in a beautiful former bank building. The gluten free pizza is also great and don't leave without trying the orange soda
