Crema's Take

“This Union City gem has earned its perfect 5-star rating by doing the fundamentals beautifully—their house-made syrups elevate even simple drinks into something special, and regulars rave about consistency that keeps them coming back multiple times a week. What really sets Alonso's apart is the warmth of the experience: staff greet you with genuine smiles, help you navigate creative flavor combinations like their cinnamon bun latte with vanilla cold foam, and somehow make every visit feel like the start of a good day. Between their excellent cold brew, seasonal specialties, and fresh pastries, it's the kind of place that transforms from a coffee stop into a beloved neighborhood ritual.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

Best cafe in the area! The staff is so wonderful and helped me pick flavor combinations that would be best in my iced coffee! I ended up going with the cinnamon bun latte with vanilla cold foam. The atmosphere is so cute and homey. Favorite place to come on a Sunday!
