Cafe Xochi
1038 E 21st St, Alameda, CA
Crema's Take
“Cafe Xochi radiates genuine community spirit from the moment you arrive, with locals lingering over excellent espresso tonics and earl grey oat milk lattes while dog-friendly patios and abundant local art create a welcoming third space. The baristas are known for their warmth and skill, crafting both traditional and specialty drinks that pair beautifully with their standout sandwiches like the crispy-cheese-topped Xochi with turkey and slaw—a place where regulars return year after year because it simply feels like home.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Dog friendly.
