    Really cool neighborhood cafe in old Victorian building. They make their chais from scratch--steamed tea leaves and all.

    Shapeshifters Cafe is always my go to whenever I'm in the area. The pastries at are out of this world! I tried the croissant, and it was perfection - flaky, buttery, and perfectly sweet. It's clear that they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into their baking. Their lavender latte is a blend of rich, smooth espresso with the subtle, aromatic hint of lavender was both soothing and invigorating. It's a must-try for any coffee lover looking for something special and unique. Shapeshifters Cafe is a gem that I can't recommend highly enough.

    The Spicy Sausage lunch sandwich was really good! The worker and the owner were nice, too. I'd love to come back and try some of the other sandwiches that other Yelpers recommended since they sounded tasty too and my first experience was good.

    I first found this place on Too Good to Go. Clearly, most of us in the bay have passed them hundreds of times en route to Alameda. This is sort of on the way to the tunnel, sort of, yet parking was not a problem. It was totally hidden in plain sight . The Shapeshifter Cafe is not within Heritage Park. It is in/along Jack London yet totally Victorian, quaint and quiet. The pastries are amazing! I won't restrict my visits to Too Good to Go. I checked out their menu and they have some fabulous French Toast! This is for breakfast brunch and lunch.
