Lazybird Coffee

This is a jewel in the neighborhood. Busy in the weekends and the food is amazing. I had the ground meat, egg and rice dish. Yummy! Had an ube latte, super yummy. My daughter had the avocado toast and a tasty matcha with strawberry. Service is friendly and competent. Vibes are mellow. Come here!

Lazy Bird is one of few walkable coffee shops for me and I like the place in theory but am usually disappointed with my coffee. Food is FANTASTIC - love love love the chorizo breakfast burrito. But the sizing options for coffee are very limiting. As far as I know there is only one size for iced drinks and it’s pretty massive. They also barely put any ice in. So you end up with a giant cup of room temp milk and the ratio is so off that you can’t even taste the espresso. I wish they had a standard smaller iced latte size option so that the classic ratio for a latte could be made to order. Instead, if I want a latte that actually tastes like a latte, I have to order one with double the espresso and ask them for extra extra ice (which they typically still skimp on). With these add ons I am paying $9 for a latte that tastes somewhat normal. I come here out of convenience but I would come daily if that fixed their iced latte ratios and offered smaller sizes. I’m not a negative review type of person but I worked in the coffee industry for years and I definitely think this suggestion would leave customers like myself more likely to return

I went out of my way to come here since I’ve heard amazing stuff & the coffee was pretty damn good , perfect balance of flavor / coffee/ sweetness! I was disappointed with my “foam” it’s basically nonexistent.i did noticed it was poured out of a jug which I thought was odd , since it take all of 3 seconds with a hand whisk . I didn’t ask for more or for it to be remade because the girl taking the order was already being short & unwelcoming, repling in an annoyed,short tone . Then again maybe that was my fault for asking her questions about a few drinks ???

This is a coffee shop, so I am rating her against other coffee shops. This was my first time and I connected with the owner as he was bringing today’s stock of the best butter mochi I’ve ever had: tiny, perfect, decadent - crunchy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. For those who fight for the corner pieces… he is the bite you never knew you needed, crunch edge in every bite. We had their congee with pork: Note: it’s Kalua Pork made with the right balance of saltiness and smokiness. Definitely coming back. Yummy coffee shop stuff too. Also dog friendly. I sat outside and had several dog owners walk by and I ask so the dogs came to hang before moving on. If you love dogs outside is the place to chill.

Came in on a rainy afternoon. If you’re an Alameda local who appreciates good third wave coffee and espresso, just go to Signal or Highwire. The kid barista clearly does not know how to make a cappuccino. The milk is oversteamed and I’m surprised this cafe does not even bother with drink presentation. What is this matcha😭 I have worked as a barista for years and this is just really lazy work. The kids hired here are on their phones. The name of the place is appropriate for the service. Food and coffee not worth the price.
