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!!

I enjoy supporting baristas and regularly tip 20% or more when service is great. My concern isn't…read moretippingit's the payment process. 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.

My husband and I were on a work trip in Oakland and I was dying for a matcha on our long drive back…read morehome to Las Vegas, so we stopped at Grounded! Although this was a tad off the freeway, it was easy to find with plenty of parking. There were beautiful trees & plants outside, which also surrounded the patio area. There was a good amount of seating inside as well as one gender neutral restroom. I thought the one seating counter with built-in phone chargers was awesome. The space was clean with a modern yet rustic feel. The employees were fairly friendly and made our drinks rather quickly. I got a matcha latte with oat milk & brown sugar vanilla syrup added. They had so many unique syrup options that I had a tough time ultimately deciding, but the brown sugar vanilla was honestly such a great choice. I'm an absolute matcha snob and make my own at home all the time; the one I had at Grounded was quite delicious and I could tell they use a higher quality matcha than most other coffee shops, which made me happy. My husband went simple with a cold brew coffee and said it had a good flavor with low acidity, which he very much enjoyed. Next time we have to drive to/from Oakland for work, we'll be stopping in again and my husband will likely be taking a bag of beans home too now that he knows the coffee quality was high. Great little gem in Livermore!

Really friendly service and appreciated the explanations. We got the weekend special, which was the salted vanilla bean cold brew. The drink was like a liquid dessert, but not overly sweet, which I enjoyed. We also got a guava ginger beer to-go. Definitely will come back to try other drinks they have if I'm in the area!

Stopped here while driving to the Bay and ordered a black sesame smoothie made with almond milk…read more it's really nice that they make drinks with alternatives to milk. The smoothie overall was pretty good, but it was on the sweeter side even though I asked for less sweetness. The boba was a little bit on the harder side, so it was harder to chew. The staff member was kind and helpful. The space is shared with a gas station, but the boba place has its own side and a few tables. It also has a restroom, which is nice. Overall, this is a nice boba spot.

Should have tried this place sooner, great banh mi and boba spot! Was originally skeptical…read morebecause... gas station boba and banh mi? But it's so worthwhile. Grilled pork banh mi was flavorful and the bread was crispy and light. Short but fat sando and plenty filling. That plus a drink for $15 is a great deal, love when I can get lunch plus drink at the same place. Mango teagurt was yummy tho could improve on the quality of mango bits inside the drink, but I would definitely get this order again.

Love the decor & ambiance. We have visited this place around 5 times and found food underwhelming…read more& a bit overpriced. Just a couple suggestions regarding a few dishes we have ordered which could use some more flavor. Just a recommendation to improve your chicken salad, so it's not so dry, no flavor, needs salt. Maybe add mayo, Dijon, and sour cream with apples and walnuts? The avocado toast needs to have more flavoring other than just slicing avocado on some toast. Toast was difficult to cut. Try using some balsamic glaze over micro greens/arugula and a little EVO would go a long way. Maybe guacamole for the avocado toast and top with a fried egg (not crispy on the edges). We have found Tony Chachere's seasoning elevates many dishes, and would be a great accent for avocado toast ;) The cookies are dry & flavorless, our toddler wasn't interested in her cookie despite the pretty sprinkles. Just fyi - Ina G has some great recipes. We like your place these are just suggestions to consider.

We were feeling a smaller snack/light lunch and settled on musubis - a GREAT decision…read more You order through toast (should be linked above) and then they make your food fresh to order. They sent us directions to pick up in the back, but we got a little lost. Leonard, the owner, came out to find us and introduced himself and shared a little about the food and their projects. He was such a nice guy with big plans for the food! Into the food itself - The tuna mayo onigiri was STUFFED. There was so much flavor in every bite. I was a little cranky you have to order in twos but afterwards that first bite, I'm glad I had a whole one to myself! We got the Portuguese sausage with musubi and chili oil. The chili oil had a lot of heat and flavor to it! I don't recommend the chili oil if you're picturing a light spice because it packs a punch. But if you like the fire, highly recommend! My partners favorite was the classic teriyaki spam with unagi and avocado. I really enjoyed the portion sizing of each item - created a really perfect bite. The unagi had an extra smokiness to it. I think it's probably prepared in house/not supermarket unagi - the taste was quite different from that! The chicken lumpia was crispy and perfectly seasoned - not too salty and savory. The Thai chili sauce wasn't too spicy at all either. We'd definitely be back to try more!

This is a very long overdue review for Musubi Libre. I've been a fan of this business from the…read morebeginning. The musubi here are seriously amazing. 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.
