Shari's Cafe And Pies - Castro Valley - Photo album

Recently ordered a slice of their chocolate cream pie on two different occasions. Hadn't ordered since before the pandemic and the slices used to be a regular slice size. My most recent orders I was given these tiny bity slices where you can finish in 3 bites and mostly just whipped cream! Slices ar

Their location is on a busy corner in Castro Valley and parking would be best inside the shopping center lot. Inside, it looks like a diner with the original decor from its historical past. Too bad they were out of their famous Oregon Pie so I ended up getting the chocolate one as suggested. I was t

I used to like them. They we're really good before but they have two new cooks, the food took a while, the coffee was mediocre, the toast was stale and my stomach actually hurts after eating. The waitress is really trying hard but they are limited. So very disappointed. A lot of elderly eat here
