Dek Doi Cafe
4125 Piedmont Ave, Alameda, CA
Crema's Take
“Dek Doi Cafe has mastered the art of blending Southeast Asian flavors into coffee that actually tastes like something special—think black sesame lattes and coconut pandan drinks that let each ingredient shine rather than disappear into sweetness. The vibe here strikes that perfect balance between a serious workspace and a genuinely welcoming hangout spot, complete with live jazz performances and homemade pastries that pair beautifully with their creative drinks. Whether you're settling in for hours with your laptop or meeting a friend, this is the kind of place where both the coffee and the atmosphere feel like they were made with real care.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Amazing experience, the overall feel was very homey and comfy. There was even a person performing a little jazz piece, which added a better ambience. The food was amazing— I enjoyed every piece of the dish. Everyone inside was doing their own thing, and it seemed like this place…
