    Cute, spacious coffee shop. Made a quick stop here for some coffee recently. I saw a sign for Raspberry Danish Latte, and it looked like dessert in drink form. I love trying specialty lattes so that's what I got. Overall, the drink was good. I just wish there was slightly more raspberry syrup and graham cracker topping. There was very little of the raspberry, so it was subtle and didn't stand out as much as I would have wanted it to.

    Conveniently located by the freeway with ample parking. The workers were friendly and it was nice inside. I got the matcha latte with their brown sugar vanilla syrup and oat milk. Loved that it wasn't too sweet and matcha was decent. I also go the smoked salmon sandwich. It was good but a bit small for the price. I'd come back and try their coffees and seasonal menu. Their burrata toast also looks good!

    The coffee making area is so pretty.

    Great service and end products. Would definitely go again. That said, would love for there to be a larger size for iced drinks. Pricing is spot on. We will be back.

    Coffee is delicious legit, cute ambience, food is decent. I did wish they had some ketchup tho. They offered hot sauce but I'm a wimp.

    Shout out to Grounded-Livermore for being open on Black Friday! There was no shortage of patrons coming and going but the initial reasoning why I made a pitstop was all thanks to my toddler. While on the road, early into our 2.5 hour drive needed to make it to our destination, my 5yo let out a cry needing to immediately go to the bathroom. As luck would have it, Grounded was the most promising location. With her happily able to empty her little bladder, I made the decision to grab me a much needed jolt of caffeine since I was already here. I placed my order for the [November Special] Vietnamese Cold Brew with Ube Cold Foam. 12oz seemed to be the largest size offered and will set you back about 7 bucks, pre tipping. Coffee is made to order so it did take a bit of time due to the heavy flow of patrons. Coffee didn't exactly give me Vietnamese coffee vibes but was delicious nonetheless. Ube cold foam was creamy and well balanced when it came to the sweetness level. 5 stars overall.

    I always pass by this place and I finally stop and tried it! The coffee was amazing and they got the beignets I love! I'm not sure the name is the coffee but from what I remember I love it but they have soy milk which is a plus! The place has merch to sell abut expensive too, they have good designs too. But next time I'll go and buy some! They have food too. They have few tables inside and outside. The place is clean and the staff are friendly too. I'll come back to try other drinks.

    A little gem in Livermore! Cozy cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating, wifi, and a few chargers. Lots of parking. Staff was incredibly friendly & was in good spirits :) I got the seasonal spiced vanilla latte and the burrata toast- I also tried one of the breakfast sandos. Everything was delicious! I really enjoyed the burrata toast, which was loaded with cherry tomatoes, a thick spread of pesto, a hunk of burrata, and a nice drizzle of oil and balsamic glaze. The latte was also so cozy and spiced and perfectly balanced. Perfect for fall. If I lived closer, I would definitely frequent this spot!

    First time here hubby brought me before heading to Sausalito. A small options of coffee and pastry's. We arrived as soon as they open was greeted as we walked in and I ordered a vanilla chocolate chip muffin which was super delicious taste so fresh. I also got a yogurt parfait it was so yummy love the hint of honey they added. Hubby ordered drip coffee with a splash of coconut. Cute lil spot pretty decor inside love they have a small book area with boardgames feels really cozy.

    Just had the perfect latte. I know, basic - what's to rave about...but hear me out. Most of the time baristas are just warming the milk, or even worse - scorching it. The one I got today had just enough frothing to lighten it up. Also, I only drink decaf and so a lot of the time, you are getting this bitter option for the espresso. This one was full bodied, without that punch in the mouth. Owners Holly & Eric also do so much for the community. Don't sleep on this!

    This quant, eclectic coffee shop tucked away in airport 84 plaza off E Jack London Blvd. The barista Lizzie was kind, professional, and friendly. I received a gift card and set out to try their goodies. I ordered the thin mint cookie, oh my so filling and flavors of mint chocolate chip bursting in my mouth. I also ordered the thin mint latte their April special. I stayed on theme with my flavors. LOL The latte was strong and I asked for more of the thin mint flavor. I'm not a purist when it comes to lattes, more flavor added the better. This is a hidden gem, come check it out.

    First time here and it seemed legit! The staff was super friendly, and the Vietnamese Ube Latte was yummy. They also have a great assortment of coffee beans for sale.

    Savory Oatmeal

    The food is genuinely good; simple, fresh, and balanced right. Their breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and drinks hit the comforting spot. If you are coffee lover, try this place. What makes it stand out for me is how kid-friendly Grounded is. There are little books and games and a relaxed vibe. Overall, good food, warm vibe, and actually welcoming for families, which is rarer than it should be.

    I have to admit, I've never been here during the day for the coffee. But I went with my buddies…read moreduring the evening to the speakeasy, and wow! Talk about a really cool ambiance. It's tiki style, which honestly is super fun (especially with the bird noises!). The service was good, I have no complaints at all. My drink (can't remember the name, but it was coconut 'loco' ) was REALLY good. The drinks range from $16-$22 from what I saw, so somewhere from the median to the upper scale pricing. One of my buddies got the old fashion soda, which he liked, and another got the monkey drink. We didn't get to order any substantial food this round, but I'll be coming for the rum cake and spam misubi! Overall I'd 100% come back here, and highly recommend it for an escape out of your typical downtown livermore cocktail bar. Great job Rosetta! Keep the themes coming!!

During my visit, the Toast POS system appeared to have a 15% tip already selected, and it was added to my transaction. When customers are in a hurry, it's easy to approve a payment without noticing a preset tip. Tipping should be a deliberate choice, not a default setting. I was also surprised that Rosetta Roasting does not accept cash. While businesses can choose their payment methods, I believe customers should still have the option to pay with legal U.S. currency. The coffee and staff were good. My feedback is directed at the payment policies, which I hope management will reconsider.

The quality honestly reminds me of the kind of musubi you'd get in Hawaii, similar to places like Iyasume. Ever since trying musubi in Hawaii years ago, I've been hooked, and Musubi Libre is one of the very few places here that really gives me that same feeling/experience I've had. While the musubi are absolutely amazing, and it is their namesake, the Mrs. And I really like the onigiri! It's surprisingly hard to find truly good onigiri here in the US that lives up to the quality of the ones you'd get in Japan. Leonard, the owner clearly puts a ton of effort into each. He's definitely perfected his craft. The Mrs. and I have ordered from here casually many times before on our days off. We've tried the tuna, mentaiko, and ume. Mentaiko is my personal fave. The tuna is excellent too, and the ume has a classic salty-tangy flavor that's unique and refreshing. It's a great option for vegetarians as well. Recently, we ordered from Leonard to have onigiri catered for our daughter's birthday party. We got those 3 flavors. Originally, we just wanted something unique for the adults alongside the chicken nuggets and pizza we got for the kids. Man, we are so glad we did. The onigiri was a massive hit! People absolutely loved it, including guests who weren't necessarily huge into Japanese food or culture. They disappeared FAST! Like so fast I didn't get to eat one myself! This place is seriously a hidden gem in the East Bay. Definitely stop by, try the musubi and onigiri, and say hi to Leonard, who is genuinely one of the nicest people/owners you'll meet.

My sister said the Omnipork was just a tad bit dry, but I really enjoyed mine. The shrimp was perfectly fried and flavorful and tasted great with the spam. The latte was also delicious and creamy. There was a decent sized parking lot in the back as well.
