Reviews for Alem's Coffee in Oakland, CA
Amazing Tibsy and Foul! Tibsy tastes even better when warmed up the next day (be sure to warm in covered pot with a bit of... water, not microwave). The bread with the foul is really nice and fresh! Lovely coffee, and I love the atmosphere. Read more

Best breakfast place I've been to in the Bay Area. The shihan ful (like a fava bean stew with savory veggies, spices and olive... oil and served with bread) is ? not exaggerating ? one of the best things I've ever eaten. It's so so good. The fata (breadchunks cooked in a garlic/tomatoe/spice sauce and served with yogurt) is also amazing as well. The drip coffee is on point ?strong and flavorful (I only needed a small size to feel effectively caffeinated). Since I live in SF I ate myself past fullduring my visit here just to take advantage of this absolutely incredible spot. The vibe is super welcoming and the prices areincredibly reasonable. The owner was even around and said hello and asked me how everything was! I'd give this place 6 stars ifI could, can't wait to be back. Read more
The best breakfast place I?ve been to, food was served hot, fresh, fast ,and delicious. I wish I knew about it earlier I... would?ve been getting food more often. The hot drinks are really affordable, so if you?re planning to get coffee everyday, thereare many options to choose from. I got black tea, sahin Ful, and eggs. The bread was fresh, soft inside crunchy outer layer. Andthe prices are very affordable and worth more. The ladies working there are very nice and friendly. I would give a 10 star fortheir customer service. Read more
