Got an iced latte and apple turnover, the latte had good flavor and the turnover was warm, flaky and buttery with a good tartness from the apple. Service was quick! I love the interior decoration with wood furniture read more

Hello yelp community! I love the matcha here, my fav barista Delaney always whisks *wink wink* it up deliciously. Everyone needs to try Lever Coffee at least once in their life read more

I visited Lever Cafe for the first time this morning (12/26) and had such a lovely experience. The space itself is incredibly cute, and despite it being very busy (likely with the post-Christmas rush), everything ran so smoothly. The line stretched nearly halfway through the café and took about 20 minutes, with a constant flow of people coming in, yet the staff handled it all with such grace and professionalism. Having worked in the restaurant industry myself, I know how challenging those peak moments can be, which made me even more impressed. Every single person working this morning was phenomenal, and I really wanted to give the team a well-deserved shoutout for their energy, kindness, and efficiency. I ordered a savory pastry, a croissant-muffin with ham and egg, and it was absolutely delicious. I would 100% recommend it. I also ordered a matcha latte, which was made beautifully and perfectly balanced. As someone who truly loves a good matcha (and appreciates thoughtful matcha art!), I was especially impressed. I also want to give a special thank-you to one of the baristas who went out of his way to help me with a unique request. That extra bit of care genuinely made my day and speaks volumes about the level of service here. Overall, this was such a positive experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend Lever Cafe to anyone looking for great food, excellent drinks, and truly outstanding staff. read more

First time here and I already know I will be back. Found it thru google maps and man!!! I wish I knew about this place sooner. Ordered 3 items: Heirloom Tomato Puff Pastry $5.75 Iced latte $6 True cold brew $6 The Heirloom Tomato Puff Pastry is SO GOOD! I asked the cashier for a recommendation on the food items and they said "so many" but I went with the first thing they listed and I'm so glad I did! It's puffy, flaky, juicy, savory and just so delicious. I should have ordered two! One to eat there and one to go Lol. The iced latte however was a little milkier than I would prefer. Saw the barista top it off with more milk on top after pouring into the ice cup (probably would have been perfect without the extra pour, but all good!) coffee flavor was still pretty good :) The true cold brew has a unique aftertaste, really nice. Would also order again. There's a good amount of parking as well. We got here before 9am on a Saturday though. read more

Love their drinks and pastries.. yummy! So happy to find another gem of a place for our northbound trips. Will return..

Cozy local cafe. They have outdoor seating both in the front and back, the front is sunny in the morning. Funky mis-matched wood tables and chairs, homemade items for sale, friendly staff. Wait is a little long perhaps due to the lever method they're using. My coffee was served in handmade style mug and my warm apple turnover was served on a wood block, both were delicious. They mean it when they say pet friendly, there were dogs both inside and out. I would skip this place if you don't like dogs. I was able to park right out front (got lucky!) but parking is very limited in the small Alamo Plaza lot, so as another said, try Danville Blvd. read more

Nothing special about this place and the owner Kendall is a mess! I won't be supporting a business owned by someone who is pretty abrasive, disrespectful and rude. About $8 for a cup of latte that come in a latte with average quality!!! No, thank you read more

Lever Coffee is the type of place that makes even Mondays feel negotiable. Come for the coffee. Stay because baristas Emma and Delaney are absolute rays of caffeinated sunshine. read more

Delicious Chai latte, best I've had! I also tried the spinach zombie, which is delicious. The ambiance is great, feels like I stepped into a vintage railroad cafe. Very cozy and the outside seating has heated lamps! Definitely my favorite coffee shop this far. Looking forward to stopping in again soon. read more

Super cute interior! Love the color scheme and the space inside. Looking for a fun and inspiring place to chill out, read, do a little work, or catch up with a friend? This place hit the bill for my meet up with an old friend. - Parking could be limiting if you arrive when there's absolutely nothing open; I suppose there would be street parking, but they have spots in the front and a tiny gated area. - Ham & Swiss Twist (so good!) - Chocolate Croissant (also good!) - They were out of their Cold Brew so I got an iced Americano instead - Free water, self-help station & bussing area - Interior cozy and bright - I felt really inspired there; I'd be able to read or write if I had gone in solo - Exterior seating might be a tad chilly on winter rainy days, but I'm sure being out there during the spring and summer is nice! The food items came out on this really nice wooden board - was not expecting it to look so nice! Our beverages came out in glass mason jars. The inside had a lot of people, but it wasn't overly crowded at all. We grabbed the center circular table which was perfect! read more

Lever Coffee - Cortado and Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alamo, California

Stopped by at 10:30am on a rainy Thursday and it was packed! Lots of folks with laptops -- I don't think there was an available table inside, which also meant parking spaces were tough to come by. Be sure not to park in a spot that's designated for the businesses next door. Seems it is (or was) a big issue, as signs prominently state No Lever Coffee Parking and that you'll be towed. Grabbed an Iron Horse iced coffee ($5.50) for the road and enjoyed it on my drive to the city. Not exactly sure what it's comprised of, but it was a little sweet and the milk ratio was good, just a splash. :) The barista who took my order was quick to assemble it and let me wait at the register. Both baristas working were friendly during our limited interaction. Looks like there's an outdoor seating area, which will be great in the coming months. Straws, lids, etc. are in the back by the patio door. read more

It's a good cafe with beverages and snack options similar to any other, but I noticed few visitors working /studying on their laptop, so could be regulars making good use of their visit. I also noticed that they have a meeting room which can be pre booked, so that's convenient for many I assume. There are fair amount of spots for parking, but could get congested in the weekends. I liked my chocolate almond croissant,I guess they use clarified butter while making it as I could got a similar aroma. read more

I went there for an espresso and almond milk late. I was driving by the down and decided to turn in and it was absolutely worth it! This place has an amazing ambiance and looks really cool looking rustic espresso coffee shop. They asked with roast I would like and that's great. They had dark and medium roast available. I love light and medium roast and the medium was fruity and very well balanced. I loved it. This is high quality coffee shop. The latte was well made, too and had a nice look to it, too. read more

I really enough the fact that the decor of the place is an homage to western town building. They kept it up with the wood tables, benches and chairs. Its a quaint little place with plenty of seating while it almost takes you away from fancy modern day coffee shops. They make all their syrups in house and my favorite is the vanilla lavender. Not too sweet and finishing with a hint of the lavender flower. Watching them pull the espresso is awesome. If youre like me who is into espresso machines and geeks out to them, learning about their espresso machine wnd watch how yhe espresso is pulled makes you all giddy. And it pulls a heck of a good espresso. With lots of tables indoors and out, its definitely a nice place to hang out with friends, do some work, or, sit outside by the creek and take a coffee break. read more

This is a very cute coffee shop! Reminds me of a little cottage from a children's book. Friendly service, good coffee, nice ambience. I was told they bake their own goods in a bakery behind the main building? OUR ORDER: Matcha latte Pumpkin spied latte with oat milk, iced Chocolate chip cookie They offered to warm up the cookie and it was really yummy. The PSL was good but I honestly didn't taste pumpkin spice, but felt like I was drinking a regular iced latte with some cinnamon flavor? Hopefully this isn't typical of their flavored lattes. My friend liked her matcha--they served it in a cute ceramic mug. They have seating on a patio in the front and the back, as well as decent amount of indoor seating. Would go back and would recommend! read more

Something about the interior and ambiance inside this cafe motivates me to study and the food and customer service is amazing!

Was in town for a event. So we decided to go get some coffee. Not to many options in San Ramon. But based on the reviews, this was the place to try. They have the standard coffee menu, plus specialty drinks and teas. I like that they make homemade syrups. It's usually better than the artificial syrups, unless you like the fake extra sugar taste. The line was long,but the people working kept the line moving. There's plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your food and coffee. Also there's a patio on the back porch,and tables along the parking lot. It seems to be a very popular coffee shop read more

Parking can be a bit of a nuisance depending on the day/time. Overall I think Lever Coffee was very cute and cozy. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Overall it was very refreshing and filling and would give it a try. read more

This cute little cafe house is located up in Alamo. The area around there is a little busy, but it being tucked away in the back makes it a sweet note to start a day, end a day, or to take a step back from the busy hours of everyday life. The feeling I got once I stepped in was that of ordering my cafecito, taking my hoodie and watching the waves crash on a beach. but i was in Alamo. the style inside is that boho style nice pastel pink and wood grainwork filling the area. ((((But La ESTRELLA of the show is the way They Pull Their Expresso)))) DOPE HINT HINT LEVER....oorraallleee i get it Had to try the Lavender Latte(fool for lavender) it was very smooth you could taste the expresso, the lavender was just a kiss away,not overwhelming at all!! and creamy They serve you in their own personally handmade cups that will have you snuggling up tight to it for sure. Next, i have the Cortado perfect, strong musky taste, paired with milk, which had me revved up ready to hit the streets homie. they have parking in the front, and on the side..outdoor seating really has a smooth feeling to it. check it out during these chilly days, hits different you know what i mean. read more

wanted to try this because I had heard good things about it. Not impressed. If you're latin not for you.. The workers didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in. Especially the women at the register, she looked like she was in a mood and did not want to be there, rolled her eyes almost every time after calling someones order out . This is just based of the cash register person . The dirty chai tasted like water & cinnamon . read more

Love the vibe here - the coffee was great and they use Strauss organic milk!! If you don't know, Strauss milk has amazing quality and taste !

Terrible service. Came here for the first time the other day. Not busy at all, only a few people inside, yet I wasn't greeted upon entering and had to wait for the baristas to finish their conversations before taking my order. Very curt, no order confirmations or thank yous. I thanked them for the order and was ignored. Super under-extracted espresso as well. Not expecting any grandiose service from a coffee spot, but some level of attentiveness from the staff should be a given. read more

My husband and I have eaten at the cafe next door about a year ago and noticed lever coffee as we walked there. We finally got a chance to come back and try the coffee and it was a 10/10! We came on a Saturday in the late morning and it was not overly busy but definitely poppin so keep that in mind. The decor is beautiful and just to add in something small that I noticed, they had a cup stand at their door so you can set it down and open it in case you have your hands full with other goodies. I've never seen that before so I thought that was pretty cool. At least I hope that's what it was for lol. Anyways, service was great and fast. The coffee was soooo good. My husband is really picky with coffee and was raving how good it was. I would describe the flavored one that I got as the perfect blend of sweetness with that coffee taste. Like you know they aren't just relying on the sweeteners to make their coffee taste good. Pastries were really good as well but the coffee. Sheesh can't wait to be back. read more

I'm pretty sure this is my first one star review ever. I ordered an iced matcha latte, half sweet, with oat milk. What I got was an extraordinarily bland, watery drink that barely tasted like matcha. The high school aged girl who took my order and made my drink was also super unfriendly, bordering on hostile. Maybe their coffee is better? read more

It's no wonder this place has almost a five star review The coffee is incredible and the pastries are made fresh daily, which is pretty awesome, Unfortunately, some of the pastries that I used to particularly come here for are not being made anymore but they still have some incredible options to choose from . The place where they make the pastries is attached to the coffee shop literally like right next door and you can look inside and sometimes you can watch them make the dough . Throughout my experience, I've always had decent service. People have been pretty nice and informative on options. Sometimes it can be a little bit slow. But I think good coffee and good pastry takes a little bit of time to be made right. Yum read more

Came here to kill time with the ladies before lunch. I ordered the iron horse iced coffee with less ice and oat milk, my friend ordered their sunny favorite lavender lemonade, and my cousin ordered a latte. I got the iron horse because it has sweetened ice coffee, but if you like things sweet this wasn't that sweet so I had to add more to my liking. It also tasted more like oat milk than coffee sadly. My friends lavender lemonade tasted like you were drinking lavender essential oils.. and I usually love drinking lavender lattes but I think the lemonade heightened the lavender while drinking it. For my vegan friends out there, they do have vegan food. I also enjoyed how this place has multiple seatings indoor and outdoors. read more

I was looking for a coffee shop to study in and glad i landed on this beauty. Theres many spots to sit inside but also there's outdoor spots. I love the outdoor spots and decided it was the perfect spot to study at. I was greeted as soon as I walked in by a gentleman who stopped what he was doing to take my order. I ordered the Mary's Matcha Latte w/almond milk iced, tasted amazing and only took about 1 minute to be ready. The bathrooms are immaculate! Public bathrooms are something I'm iffy about going into, but not here. This shop has now been added to my study spots, maybe one day I'll bring my pupperoo. read more

Great space. Plenty of seating inside as well as outside, including a spacious back porch, with lots of nice touches. Customer service was friendly and welcoming. Had an almond milk latte with their home made caramel syrup -- it was smooth with hints of caramel (without making it a sugary drink that's barely a coffee.) Had a gluten-free lemon poppy seed treat that was just wonderful. read more
