Stephen B. • April 6, 2013Great place to pick up some beans for brewing at home as well.

Mary S. • April 12This book store has a fantastic children's section, with a wide range of books for all ages. It's been a lifesaver for me as a parent, if I'm looking for educational and engaging reads for my kids.

Gloria G. • April 12, 2013Blue fillet mignon was fabulous. Love this quaint eatery, although the cutlery sucks. We had the Amarone which was delish. This maybe our new regular in Alameda.
