Top 5 Coffeehouses in Alameda County

37323 Niles Blvd, Fremont, CA 94536, United States

“I was visiting the area with a friend and ended up visiting this place after reading the reviews . Easy to find with plenty of parking around. Coffee indeed was good . We ordered a cortado and cold brew . The person who took our order seemed too tired to work but the employees were very friendly with customers in front of us . Was too busy talking to them and the rest of the orders were being delayed. The patio is nice to sit if the weather allows it . Few sweet pastries are available at site too. It’s a good spot but probably famous because of the lack of other good coffee shops .”

“This is the nicest Peet's I've been to in the East Bay!(people mentioned remodel) Lots of space with various kinds of seating and tables, with plenty of outlets for your electronics! Parking difficulty is way up there, bring your parking mojo to this neighborhood if you are driving to this location!”

“The best paninis!!! I love mixing and matching two different ones. Highly recommended their seasonal specials and coffee as well. I prefer sitting outside because it gets pretty loud inside when it’s busy!”

“Cool Starbucks location, the staff is welcoming and friendly. Tried cafe misto here, service was quick and the coffee tasted great. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. There’s also a drive thru, would come again.”

“I have been to pretty much every boba shop in this area and have drank close to 1000 boba drinks in my life… and this is BY FAR the best place!!! They have such an extensive menu and everything tastes AMAZING! Their boba is sweet and chewy, their crema is fresh and perfectly salted, and all their teas are brewed perfectly. They also have the best prices I have ever seen. Since my first golden tea shop drink, I have been hooked. I literally refuse to go anywhere else now. Also, they are mom and pop shop which I love!! If you’re in the area, and even if you’re not, you should definitely come. This is the place I would walk through a hurricane to get to 😍 Pictured: Cake Crème Brûlée milk tea”

“My partner has been ordering online for a decade +. It's the only coffee we drink! Every morning we have a freshly home-roasted small-farm coffee. We've sipped our way through wildly diverse regions and every coffee country in our lovely world 🌍. India Monsoon is my personal fave. 😸 All of our interactions with our sweet Maria have been awesome, professional and speedy. These folks are the real deal: as passionate about sourcing beans from small local farms that are unique and sustainable as we are about drinking them and supporting our world communities. Can't get more direct fair trade! We're planning a trip up to Oak from Santa Cruz just to visit our coffee mecca in their new(ish) digs. (I'll update my review with impressions of (un)ground coffee zero.) Thanks Sweet Maria's for a decade of delicious and stimulating mornings and see you soon! 🙏”
