Zocalo Coffee - San Leandro

We stopped in for brunch on Memorial Day after a hike and it definitely hit the spot. The avocado toast was delicious and they weren't skimpy on the avocado! Yum. I ordered an earl grey tea and my friend had a coffee. Both good. It was busy and there was a wait for the food. They did tell us that when we ordered, but we weren't in a rush, so it wasn't a big deal. It was a holiday after all. If you're looking for some good eats or coffee/tea, this is a great spot. Lots of locals working on laptops and maybe even some people mixing music. I recommend and would return.

I really enjoy the ambiance at this place. The latte is fantastic. I usually opt for the granola and yogurt since it's already prepared. However, the food preparation time is too slow.

Maybe it was just the day I went, but my experience was not great and disappointing throughout. This place mainly does sandwiches and they were out of bread at noon on a Saturday. The only vegan/vegetarian meat substitute they offered…they were out of. We asked for potatoes to be our side and when it came out with fruit they said they were out of potatoes! And the fruit they served as a side looked old. I tried to order a protein smoothie and they were out of fruit for it. I told them I was vegetarian and they put bacon on my plate and when I mentioned it… they lifted it off my plate with their hands and placed it on my partners plate. Maybe it was just the day, but I was highly disappointed and would’ve like my money back honestly cause this cost me about $50 and was not worth it. I would consider looking into the management and improving it as it seemed like teenagers were running this place. The place was a wonderful atmosphere with great music and looks like it has potential!

Quick coffee and hang outSkip: iced dirty chai. For I think 7 dollars you get a pretty standard drink with an extremely strong... idk spicy/gingery after taste that can be quite offensive. It's not the worst thing if you're into that but ofc you gotta be up for it.It's a cute place to hang out with lots of old wooden tables and chairs scattered everywhere. They didn't have AC on this super hot day but it wasn't too bad. Was promptly but nicely asked to leave when it got close to their closing time at 3pm.Drinks: 5/10Service: 7/10Atmosphere: 6/10Value: 5/10

We tried the Mexican Mocha and Borgia.Really great drinks and would definitely come back again. Iced all the way!The service is very friendly and drinks come out after a tiny wait.Ambiance is amazing! As a plant family love seeing all the varieties of house plants. Very open and a bit airy.Love this place!
