Coffee Cultures - Alameda

Cute corner shop with yummy coffee! There isn't any designated parking area so you would need to find spots on the street. Service was quick, got our drink within 2 minutes of ordering. Also got a bag of decaf beans for home which they grinded for us (upon request). Would come again when I'm in the area!

This is by far my favorite coffee shop. This is my go to place for studying and sipping on drinks. I have come here on multiple occasions to do work and drink a matcha lavender (my favorite drink from them). There is a lot of nice outdoor seating. The servers are nice and always answer my questions when I'm interested in trying a new drink. Their soft serve they make in house is also delicious!

SummaryA solid non chain coffee shop is just what Park avenue needed in Alameda, and that's what you get with Coffee Cultures! ExperienceI ordered one of their pourovers for the day, and it was a solid cup. Definitely better than most other things you can get on Park Avenue if you want legit coffee. ServicePretty straightforward with the service they were nice and efficient. AmbianceIt's a small shop with a limited amount of tables and bar seating inside, and some seating outside. Nothing particular about the decor is notable. Seems to be great for catching up with a friend, but probably not the most ideal spot for working or reading a book. ConvenienceAs long as you can find parking near Park Avenue, it's relatively easy to get to.

I live on “the island” and CC is my go-to coffee shop. The place is chill, tastefully decorated, servers are pleasant, bright, and overall fantastic. Prices are more than reasonable and most importantly their coffee is pretty good. The only challenge I have is their power strip along the underside of the bar bc it can’t hold up weight (or power bricks) due to gravity. Regular plugs are fine.

The drip coffee was bold and had good flavor. My wife liked her matcha latte. We also had an Ube Mochi cake which was amazing. The staff were friendly and quick. I’ll be coming back here.
