Alice Street Bakery Café - Oakland

The milk tea tasted watered down, almost like it was mixed with tap water. The boba was the low-quality, mushy kind that lacked any flavor. It was the worst boba I've ever encountered.

I accidentally spilled my boba drink outside (totally my fault), and the staff kindly made me another one at no cost. It really turned my day around, so thank you! This is a fantastic spot to take kids for a quick after-school snack. I really enjoy their sponge Swiss cake slices.

I tried the fried shrimp burger with lime pineapple sauce, and it was a generous portion. The thick shrimp patty was fried to perfection, boasting a light and crispy crust, while the buns were nicely toasted on the griddle. Overall, it was quite impressive, and I would definitely return for more. My only complaint is that I chose the lime pineapple sauce from the eight options available, and it wasn't the best choice. I feel the sandwich would have reached its full potential with a more robust, umami-rich sauce.

What a hidden gem.Their Asian style bread with different filling are wonderful. I especially like their bread with corn and ham.They also recently added sandwiches which reminds me the sandwiches I had in Asia.Their shrimp sandwich was fry with Japanese Tempura batter (if you like Tempura shrimp).You can choose different sauces to go with it. I highly recommend the fish or shrimp sandwich with lime sauce. Sooooo good!!

A popular sit-down bakery next to Lincoln Park and at the edge of Chinatown that has a wonderfully large sandwich menu. The shop has some comfortable seating but most patrons probably order take out. The boba tea is pretty good as well.
