Have you tried LazyBird Coffee on Central Avenue? Grab a coffee along with a sweet or savory bite.
ALAMEDA, CA —LazyBird Coffee of Alameda was named to a list of the "Nine Best New Bay Area Coffee and Tea Houses."
The establishment at 930 Central Ave., "is bright and peppy, with a smiling portrait of AstroBoy on the wall, and Courtney Love playing on the speakers. ," according to the list recently published by The Mercury News.
"Beans from Oakland’s Bicycle Coffee are transmogrified into drinks flavored with pandan, ube and a sweet-lover’s “samoa” (caramel, coconut, chocolate, espresso)," the newspaper wrote.
" Locals of all ages order concoctions that often veer toward the floral – think rose-lychee and honey-lavender lattes. The pastry case holds Berkeley’s Dream Fluff doughnuts and malasadas so popular, you can preorder them. (Flavors change weekly and recently included flan cream and Pink Starburst Chantilly.)"
Recommended are the pandan latte and malasadas — perfect for coffee dunking.
