This liquor store has an extensive selection of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. It is to say the least, quite impressive. I, however, don't drink alcohol so I do stop off to buy their sandwiches. I have always enjoyed their Italian cold cut sandwich which used to cost $7.99 but is now, $9.99 which is reasonable because it is plentiful and delicious.

Read moreAlameda liquor is home to Willie's Grill & Deli. It's a great spot for breakfast burritos and other breakfast / lunch items. Home of the 1/2 Pound "Giant Willie's Dog".

I typically come here because it's quick or you can call in and pickup. If you are looking for an alternate to Corner Cottage The breakfast burritos are big and tasty, but the breakfast sandwich is also great. See photos in my review, the chorizo burrito in particular...
