Their coffee drinks are strong enough to wake up Snorlax! The cost is relative to its location, so be mindful that the South Bay and the peninsula may have more economic and competitive pricing.

I've seen Kamurocho all over my feed and stopped by for a morning latte before running errands. We…read morehad to do a double take before walking in to ensure we were even at the right place, even though it's in a well known strip mall between a Denny's and Nations. So they could definitely can do a better job of decorating the interior to really look like a cafe instead of a vacant room. We tried their matcha roasted rice latte and Hojicha latte, both sweetened. The hojicha latte was AMAZING! 10/10, no notes. It reminded us of the hojicha we had in Japan. The matcha roasted rice was unfortunately way, way too sweet to tolerate and little matcha flavor and green color. I would be open to ordering this again with extra matcha and little to no sweetener. This would be a 5 star review if the ambiance was nicer and matcha wasn't so weak and sweet. I would definitely be interested in coming back and giving Kamurocho's matcha another try and exploring their other drinks.

Somisomi in Pleasanton!…read more I LOVE Somisomi and this was the closest one to us (being 20 minutes away) so we had to stop by for a sweet treat. You know it's serious when you are willing to take a 20 min drive over just for ice cream but it was well worth it. There was a ton of parking spaces at the parking lot in the plaza that this biz was located in. The space was bright and clean, and the staff was super helpful. We love how they rotate their flavors. We got the soft serve in the cup and with the taiyaki. They are all about the banana flavor right now so we got the soft serve mix with that and the cookies and cream. It was really good! Can't wait to come to somisomi again the next time we're in town.

I organized a school fundraiser with them last year, and it went very well, so I really appreciate their support for local schools and communities. It's a franchise brand, and the location is more of a quick-stop setup with a small standing area rather than a place to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Overall, a fun spot with lots of flavors to choose from and a great option for school or community fundraisers.

After a magnificent dinner in the area a hand in hand walk in downtown Americana Pleasanton was…read morenecessary. Low and behold what did that wooden sign say out front? Did it say European pastries? We had absolutely no room for a single thing, but European? Traditionally European desserts are not heavy on the sugar, don't have all the food coloring, and additives. Ding Ding plus Ding my mind spins fast as my hubby is getting pulled at a rapid pace towards the door. He says "No Way" I say "For another time," as we don't live in the area. We walked in to see cases of pastry delights. I turn back as hubby dares not to enter entirely into the temptation. As I look back I see stacks of boxes, walk over to discover they are all pies! Anyone that knows me knows my last meal in life would consist of Berry Pie for dessert. I look and there it is a Mixed Berry. I turn and ask the lady after she was done with her customer how much for this delight? She said it's $24. Without question I grabbed said pie, and went to the register. I told her that Berry is my favorite, and she went on to say that every Friday is Pie Day. She also mentioned that if I ever needed anything in particular, I could call ahead. She could have it prepared for me. Wonderful lady and beautiful service. Might I add that a pie of this weight and stature normally runs about $35 even $40 in some places. We had a slice the next day because I could not bear it any longer. Without lie this is the best pie I've had in years!!!! Years or even perhaps ever. It has to be realized that if there is Berry Pie of any kind on the menu it will be ordered even to go. There were actual whole berries, and it was not full of sugar like some pies. You can taste the natural fruit of summer, and the crust was perfection!!!! Now I have to wait for a Birthday to order a cake. I'm sure it will be divine! I could take a pic of pie now but it's partially gone. Not so picturesque.

Winning all day long…read more This bakers brings back memories for my grandma - the German chocolate cake is soooooooo good . I got the mini . I'll go back tomorrow to get the whole cake for family dinner Sunday. The kids who work her are very nice and are helpful- coffee is self serve and good for me . They have little things just in case you forget the cake- candles and card- they got you. The chocolate chip cookie tasted home made that a package . Love the creamy chips . Lots to choose from- the cannolis - don't forget the cannolis - I'm from the east coast and that was the clincher. The ricotta mmmmmm- stop by- you will be glad you did. Reasonable pricing - Cute place to sit inside . Only two tables . Mostly a to go- with that being said- talk a walk and sit with your partner somewhere and have some nice cake ... great idea

Plenty of parking in a big plaza next to a Poke place…read more Note there's not a lot of seating so bear that in mind. At most can seat ~15-20 people max. But more importantly the food. This bingsoo does the job. I think it's affiliated with Mandro the other well known bingsoo place. We ordered a regular which is enough for two. The matcha flavor was present and plenty of ingredients were given. All you can ask for. The service was quick. Waited only ~7-10 min for the bowl to come out. The atmosphere is more on the quiet side unless you go during the weekend where a bunch of high school kids hangout there. Will recommend in east bay if you need bingsoo in a pinch.

I've had this place bookmarked for forever and was super excited when I realized I'd be in the area and could finally check it out. You can either order via walk-in or drive through. I opted to do the drive through as I didn't see any available street parking right in front of the ice cream shop. Luckily the drive through line was very short when I came by Tuesday evening around 6 pm. The first confusing thing for me was how to get into the drive through line, as I was coming from the wrong direction. There were no signs for this. Eventually I pulled up and asked one of the workers, and she said the drive through line entrance is on Neal St, coming from the First St direction. The second confusing thing was that there wasn't much of a menu for the drive through. There's just one small sign with a list of their everyday flavors and another one with some new flavors listed, but that was it. It was a spontaneous decision to come here, but had I known, I would've done more research on available flavors. No prices were listed either. After coming, I looked on their IG page and saw a bunch more flavors featured that would've been fun to try. Oh well. I ended up going the most basic route with a small vanilla soft serve. It was ready for me when I pulled up to the inside. The vanilla soft serve was delicious! I'm used to "lighter" soft serves from the fast food chains, but the ice cream here is creamier and more dense, which I absolutely loved. It felt like it had more substance to it. Plus you can't beat the price! It was only $3.50 for a small, which was already very large.

This place is actually Mochiholic or maybe Arisa Dessert will take over soon?…read moreWe walked in browsed the kiosk for a while and when we started to order donuts, and immediately were told they are about to close and may be out of some flavors. The girl working the counter was nice about it but could have saved us time before making all of our selections. We ended up just getting donuts and not the cold desserts. We went with the seasonal flavors like pandan, passion fruit, strawberry yogurt, strawberry, and Thai ice tea. The pandan and strawberry were good. The strawberry yogurt was weird and the passion fruit was had these freeze dried fruit on top that were a weird texture. There were tables and chairs inside to sit our orders before they closed.

So many ice cream and popsicle flavors to choose from. Not only do they have such amazing ice creams and popsicles but also casual appetizers/foods as well! For example, they have tamales and tortas which are so delicious! My ultimate favorite casual appetizer would be tostilocos. OMG so yummy! If you are looking for something sweet, spicy, with a hint of a little bit of salt, I most definitely recommend getting the tostilocos. Lastly, the music in there was good, nothing too loud, It was just right! You are able to hear each other and have a nice conversation. Overall, amazing experience here in La Michoacana Frozen Delights. If you ever have the chance and are craving a sweet treat or anything, definitely go to La Michoacana Frozen delights!

Ordered my crème brûlée Matcha drink, a Blackpink drink(strawberry w/Oreo type cookies on the bottom), ham&cheese taiyaki and vanilla custard taiyaki. This place exceeded my expectation! My son loved his drink and he usually doesn't like anything because he's a teenager lol. My matcha was so good. The quality of matcha was much better than other bakeries I usually go to. They also caramelized the sugar on the crème brûlée. The taiyaki came in a cute box. My ham and cheese was scrumptious and savory. The store was small and cozy with a warm welcoming ambience. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back here
