Me and Jungle Cafe
3943 Piedmont Ave, Alameda, CA
Crema's Take
“Me and Jungle Cafe is a lush sanctuary on Piedmont Ave where vibrant decor and genuinely cozy furniture create the kind of calm escape that feels rare in urban Alameda. The kitchen sources remarkably fresh ingredients (you might watch vegetables being delivered), crafting inventive wraps and light fare with personality—think spicy cilantro salmon or peanut sauce-dressed vegan rice wraps—that pair beautifully with thoughtfully made traditional coffee drinks. It's the kind of place where regulars return within days, dogs are welcome on the patio, and lingering over a meal feels like the whole point.”

this place is heaven on earth. incredible decor, impeccable service, food so fresh and whole we watched the veggies used in our food being delivered. absolutely the best cafe i have ever stepped foot in, and i didn’t even check out the patio! the Oakland wrap was MASSIVE, fresh, flavorful (you can taste and SEE every ingredient), and DELICIOUS! chocolate croissant and fresh fruit were great and the coconut cream latte was unique and perfectly sweet. 1500/10!!!
This place was amazing!! The vibe was lush and cozy, the back patio was perfect. They had great vegan options, I had the soya soya rice wrap with the peanut sauce and it was so fresh and tasty!! My mom got the salad with tofu and sesame dressing- it looks beautiful and simple but tasted complex and was deliciously unique. Also got the coconut cream chai lattes that were so luxurious. Would definitely come back and would highly recommend!
My mom and I tried this place for lunch on Sunday and came back the next weekend because we liked it so much! It's a dog-friendly restaurant, and our dog was definitely not the only one present. The first time we each got our own dishes: smoked salmon avocado toast & the club sandwich. On our next visit, we shared a chicken rice wrap, which came with 4 big portions that we split with an extra serving of the spicy cilantro lime sauce. All of the food was delicious and they use fresh, local ingredients. The thai tea and strawberry lemonade were also tasty. You order for yourself at the counter and get a number that you place on your table; when your food is ready, a server looks for your number and brings the food to your table. I will definitely be returning to this place to try more menu items.
The food is very very tasty. I had Salmon Lover wrap and the spicy cilantro sauce is so bomb!!! The portion is huge but I was prepared for that. Really cute decoration inside. They got cozy patio in the back. Great for sunny afternoon.
We finally have a truly cozy cafe experience on Piedmont Ave! Not only are there actual cozy chairs and sofa, but the vibes are very cozy as well. I felt so calm there, it was like an oasis of calm in an ocean of chaos. It felt healing just to be there for even only ten minutes. There are a lot of food and drink options, mainly tea and juice of various kinds. My partner and I shared a hibiscus lemonade, which was a refreshing sweet and tart mix. I highly recommend this sweet spot!
