12132025 The cousins were in town for a visit, and of course, since it's the season, we were all craving peppermint hot chocolate. I had no idea this Starbucks was located in this complex, but lo and behold, Yelp confirmed it, and so we went after dinner. It's located in a corner, so I never saw it when driving by. The staff were super friendly, even at night (around 7ish pm), and they were jolly - which was very surprising for a Starbucks nowadays. We all got our PHC, and it was a nice dessert after a nice visit. Thank you to the staff that day who added to this special experience for the fambam. I hope the next time I visit, the staff will still be that jolly/friendly. read more

I like this Starbucks. It's been around forever and it's one of the few in town that isn't a drive thru yet. It seems a vast majority of the locations are converting to drive-thru. Service is always quick and efficient! I think less people go to this one since it's a cafe, and not the more common drive thru options. But I like that it's a little slower paced. The drinks are always made a little better here. read more

we ordered 4 drinks, specifically without coffee, yet they gave all 4 drinks with decaf coffee in it. Although this happened, the man working gave us a full refund and re-made our drinks. This was a kind gesture but the whole thing could have been avoided. As well as this, when I was picking up my new drink, the cap was loose and not closed properly which could have resulted into an accident. There were slip ups but they resolved it and thats why I am giving it a three. read more

I was VERY thankful they were open. They were conveniently located about a half mile from the freeway exit. They were very kind and happy and pretty well staffed to close at 8.

I come here every other month or so for a change of pace. Never had an issue with service. Decent indoor seating. Four of the comfy chairs, great for reading. Even those this location is supper busy with mobile and walk-on ToGo orders, the flow works. Outside seating is plentiful and the space for it is quite large. The overall feel is a bit dirty as the buildings are starting to get older. Being on the busy corner of Portola and North Livermore, the traffic noise outside is constant and loudly. Nicer seating and with umbrellas would brighten it up. read more

there's a mark difference between urban and suburban locations of starbucks. especially the service, urban spots would say they ran out of medium or dark roast period. no longer available. suburban locations will offer to do a pour over. brew: dark roast pour over (m. 2.65) -smooth, neither robust or artisan tasting but not harsh. -nothing to get excited about, probably their pike's blend 3.5 stars steady inflow of patrons, all covid protocols in place. read more

I love coming to this Starbucks not only because they're friendly and quick with service but they're super clean. I've been coming to this Starbucks since I was a kid during my Livermore high school years. They've always been super nice and quick making drinks even in their busiest times which is the mornings of-course. Whenever Im in Livermore I continue to come to this Starbucks. I get the Venti cold brew with a tiny amount of half&half or the strawberry acai drink. They're my go to drinks. They do offer mobile orders so if you're in a rush and do not want to wait in line I recommend downloading the app and creating an account. Covid-19 UPDATE: You can now finally sit inside and enjoy your drink and use their wifi doing work. read more

This is the worst Starbucks in town! They always have an attitude and never "hussle", then they're annoyed when you ask for your drink or even a straw! Horrible customer service. My drink was sitting on the counter ready, no lid for 10 MINITES! When I politely asked for my drink because I'm running late and my drink was right there I was told by an employee, "we're doing our best". Clearly not if there was no hussle and all emoyees were talking about how short staffed they were. Didn't know 7 employees on the clock was short staffed. I ised to work for Starbucks, you hustle!!

such horrible service at this location on Portola Avenue. Not many people in the store and had one person ahead of me in line and no one else waiting. Took them 18 minutes and 26 seconds to make my drink which came out wrong. I had asked for extra caramel on my drink, and I could tell that there was not extra caramel there, so I asked if they could remake it. The barista turned around, poured extra caramel, so that the bottom of the drink was just filled with extra caramel instead of how every other location puts it on the side of the cup as well. Was very unpleased with this service because the girl even said if you wanted extra caramel on the side that I should've said that when I ordered and I've never had to do that before ever so very confused on why I had to specify that. there was five people behind the countertop s, and only one person making drinks. This was very unacceptable service. I don't expect much. All I wanted was my drink and unfortunately I don't believe I got it. read more

I recently placed a mobile order for a Caffè Americano and waited approximately 15 minutes (10 minutes outside of the Starbucks running errands, and then 5 minutes inside the Starbucks). I eventually asked the barista if my order was available for pickup - and he tersely responded "Bros, I'm busy here!" and walked off to make other orders (for customers who placed them *after* I made my order). I was kind of taken aback - I wasn't being difficult, I asked politely, and didn't respond after he was being rude. I get he was busy handling the cashier and making drinks - and he was probably stressed out because it was closer to store closing and I'm assuming he was mismanaging his time or just generally incompetent - but it was an uncalled for and an unprofessional response. One of is co-worker overheard his retort, and then asked me what my name was and made the drink immediately. So at least kudos to the secondary barista, who probably wanted to rectify the situation when he recognized that the first barista was either frazzled or just being unprofessional. If I really wanted to be treated like garbage and disrespected as a customer, I would have at least gone somewhere that makes good coffee. read more

Crappy coffee and worst service to say the least. The lady that took the order was kind of I don't care types. She made the coffee which was almost cold. Not sure she is new or may be she just didn't feel like making that coffee for us. When we politely asked her if she could do something about it. She was not happy, but she offered to re make it for us. Second time when she handed the coffee over to me, she asked me "is it hot enough for me?", as if the first one she made it right and I am the one complaining for no good reason. How manipulative? these people can play with their words so well, that is the only skill set they have I guess. However the coffee was hot this time, it tasted like crap, nothing more than a cup of hot water. I think she really knows how to mess it up if she doesn't like the customer and she did it. I wish they get rid of this person from that store. Really made a very bad impression about this store. We been there before and those were much better experiences. I wont go back in to that store again and wont recommend to any of my friends and family. Thank you for ruining our evening coffee, I wish someone teaches this person a lesson somehow! read more

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.

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.

I'm so excited for the brick and mortar store to open!

I think I came on the off day since he was busy and out of a few things, but I appreciated his kindness and great customer service because he gave us a few more musubis as well. 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.

I love coming to this bakery and visit almost every day because the food is always amazing and the…read moreatmosphere is usually so nice. Most of the staff are very kind, but I wanted to share something that has made our visits uncomfortable lately. Our only concern has been the way one of the girls working there treats us, and unfortunately this happens almost every time we come in since she is usually always there. She often seems upset, rarely greets us, gives unfriendly looks, and the interactions feel very cold even when we try to be polite and friendly. I even asked once if something was wrong because the vibe felt uncomfortable. We truly enjoy supporting this bakery, so I hope this feedback can help improve the customer experience for everyone.

I especially loved the sausage sandwich thats only available on the weekends, and the added hot sauce was so tasty. It can get pretty busy on the weekends but you can also take out most pastries, bread and coffee. We'll definitely be back to try the pastries and more sandwiches!
