Valley Java

How this place has a 4.6 rating here is beyond me. It must be the family and friends! I took my 8-person riding group there on Sat based on the rating here and I regret it. Quite disappointed. My cappuccino cost $6 and it was no good -- bitter and off. $4.95 for single and $5.95 for double! He never asked me if I wanted single or double. $6 for a cappuccino in Castro Valley is a ripoff. For $5 I can get the best cappuccino in the top cafes in the Bay Area. I also got a piece of supposedly savory pastry with cheese and mushroom but the base was like a sweet cake. Pretty gross. When I told him he said he didn't make it! Well, you sell it; you should know. Btw he doesn't take any type of card payment in this day and age, which to me is a sign of dishonesty. I am being generous giving it 3-stars.
