“ My experience was exceptional!! They are very pleasant, the music was jammin. My husband saw what looked like filled donuts he inquired and we found out they are a Hawaiian donut calls Malasadas. They make them fresh, daily. They said they pretty much nailed it. We bought one of each to try. We were informed that they have other Hawaiian pastries at the Farmer's Market in Alameda. My husband wanted a breakfast sandwich which brought us here. They definitely nailed the Breakfast Sando!!! I did substitute the black truffle cheese for their Monterey and Jack combo. (I'm not a big fan of truffle flavor) Our sandwiches were BOMB !!! Yes, we put some Tapatio hot sauce on it. Mmm mmm good!!! My husband actually said "This is the BEST breakfast sandwich I've had in a VERY LONG TIME!!!" We will be back, AND they are working on expanding their menu even more!!! We're here for it!!! Till the next time!!! ”
“ Been eyeing The Preacher's Daughter so was so glad to come here for a work lunch! When we arrived at around 1:30 PM for a late lunch, there weren't too many people there. This was the first time I was stepping into The Preacher's Daughter after seeing it so much in passing / online and I love the space. There's a good amount of tables inside with plenty of seating at the bar as well. They even have quite a few tables outside if you'd like to enjoy the fresh air/sunny weather. It looks like you can order at the bar, but we ended up finding a seat outside and were given menus. From there, we had table service and our orders started coming out pretty quickly. I ordered their BL-Tea ($18.50), with the avocado on the side (avocado is not my fave - unpopular opinion, I know). It came with a choice of side salad or fruit for an additional $2. I opted for the side salad. Overall, a pretty good sandwich. I liked the aioli that came with it and I was pleasantly surprised that it came on a croissant (I should've read that in the menu). However, $18.50 for bacon and veggies on a croissant definitely feels steep. I could've bought all of those items at the grocery store for less and made more, but that's true for eating out at most places. I also got a hot cappuccino - no notes! It was delicious. Not sure I'd come back for breakfast/lunch as the prices are quite up there for what you get, but I definitely want to come back for a night to enjoy what they've got at the bar. ”
“ I don't know how I haven't been here sooner! This super cafe is right across the Alameda marketplace so parking is ample. The decor and ambiance is super chill and perfect for a cute date or a girls brunch. The fact that the outside of the cafe looks like a typical old Alameda Victorian house adds to its charm. The menu is pretty small and limited but that means the food is delicious! (The manager said they're working on expanding) There's a separate brunch and dinner menu, but all the food I've had is so well made it doesn't really matter what time you come. Any of the croissant sandwiches are amazing and the charcuterie board is almost too pretty to eat!!There's a full bar, but the specialty cocktails always hit. The tiramisu-tini is my favorite! They also have delectable malasadas! There's also a cute outdoor section! Coming here will always result in a good time! ”
“ Very cute bar with great tasting foods! Names and descriptions on the menu sound pretty normal like any other brunch places, but they tasted abnormally good :-) Our favorite was chicken & mushroom skewers. Slices of scallion, creamy & salty sauce go very well with grilled Shiitake mushroom and this becomes great addition to chicken skewer. We also liked Roast beef sandwich - juicy roast beef with buttery croissant. But I actually really liked salad that comes together. There's no extra special additions, but its lime cilantro dressing makes salad simple but extra refreshing. Also had malasada donuts - I was able to try both passion fruit and peach ones (thanks to very generous staff) and I highly recommend passion fruit one. I was first bit sad to know that dinner menus that I saw from older reviews are no longer available because this place is going through management and menu changes, but very soon I got happy with the new menus I tried. Hope they continue to make more hot and heavier food options as all food we tried tasted great so far! Staffs were very friendly, and provided great suggestions. Want to revisit again on more brunch time to try other menus. ”
“ My Buddha's Bowls is good. All my veggies in my bowl is fresh and good. My godmother said her BLT was good, and the service is good, they just forgot to put avocado on her BLT. The Turkey sandwich is really good. The corn fritters was good and the sauce that come on the fritters is amazing if you love aioli. ”
“ Service and ambiance were great! Our server was friendly and made some great recommendations. We had our dog with us so had to sit outside but they have a small patio which worked out great. She even brought out a water bowl and treat for my pup. The espresso martini was strong and delicious. The Bloody Mary was tasty and refreshing with all the accoutrements. The waffles were soft and the omelette had a good amount of cheese and chorizo. The preachers daughter croissant was tasty too. The ground mustard, green apples, and thyme onion jam was a good combo, but needed a little more sweetness from the jam. They have live music on Sundays which was a nice touch to a Sunday brunch. If you find yourself in the area, have a big group, or your dog with you, come and try it out! ”
