    Coffee was super delicious, I got the sweet iced latte with blueberry cold foam. I love the cowboy theme and the inside ambiance. It very clean and modern. The espresso flavor was nice and light and the blueberry cold foam was a nice little touch on top, whenever I need a mid day pick me up , I know that I will keep Story coffee in mind. I highly recommend trying them and making them your coffee spot. Service was very friendly and helpful with the menu

    Story Coffee is Downtown Livermore has customers lining up outside the door. Friendly servers and great coffee and pastries. Wait times are minimal. Open interior and plenty of seating. Chai Latte is delicious!

    I have gone here a couple time so it is time for a review! This little gem is located in the busy downtown Livermore by Maple Street and Cheeseparlor. Parking get be difficult at times but there is street parking and the big parking structure isn't too far from here. This cafe can get really busy on the weekends especially on Farmer's Market Sundays. I have tried a couple different drinks and all have been very good. The combos they make are delicious, not overly sweet and plenty of strong coffee that I require in early mornings. I also tried their seasonal matcha with cherry foam and that was also delicious, great balance of subtle sweetness and acidity. Forgot to mention the store is small so I think this is more ideal to take to go and walk around downtown.

    A very cool cafe with amazing vibe with interesting quick breakfast options. Staff is very welcoming. I was excited to see flavors in croissants. everything croissants, has seasoning of everything bagel and some cream cheese inside. I loved the combo. Ham and cheese croissants was so yummy that my daughter finches it in a minute. Almond croissant was on sweeter side and outer layer is crunch and not heavily filled which we loved. Regular coffee is good , has nutty fruity aftertaste. My daughter had iced cherry matcha which she totally recommended :)

    My goto coffee spot in Livermore but it can take some time to get your order. Usually I either get a latte or iced sweet latte. Starting to buy my beans there too for day to day. A bit loud inside. Small parking lot that can be a bit inconvenient to get out of so I usually either street park or go to the parking structure nearby. Excited for their second location in Blacksmith's Square

    Whiskey latte was better than I thought; not too strong. Lavender matcha was ordered half sweet and it was perfect! I would definitely come back. I wanted to buy some of their whole beans but a bag was $24; no thank you.

    Clean interior and friendly service. No complaints :) Tried their eggnog drink back in Dec and it leaned towards the sweeter side but overall very good. Love their espresso & tonic as well! Get the almond croissant if you want a small lil treat. Definitely would recommend.

    ok - was in the area again dropping my girly pop off at doggy camp and so i had to stop in again to grab my energy before errands and work. Parking lot was already full to my surprise as I didn't expect this place to be poppin at 8:30-9am but pretty steady flow. Ooh and there was this hottie cop on there today and I hope he sees this lol!! Ok so reason for my updated review is to say that getting here early, you get a wider variety of pastries. And the waffle y'all! They made it fresh to order and it is goooodt and warm and yummy and perfect with a cold brew. Nice handheld lap snack while driving to my next destination. They sell hoodies too. The camo hoodie seems the be a hit. Might just get one next time. $60

    This review is very late but I enjoyed my visit to story coffee. It was out of the way for me but I kept hearing good things so I decided to do the 30 min drive. When I was ordering their machine stopped working and they could not get it back up. Of course I waited patiently and they were so kind to comp my coffee for me. Customer service was great and they recommended a pastry that I really enjoyed. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area.

    I've heard so much about Story Coffee and was finally able to check it out for myself. I dropped off my truck at Les Schwab in Livermore for a tire rotation and they told me they needed two and half hours. Okay, no worries. I decided I'll go to the movies to "The Bride". I walked one and a half miles to downtown Livermore in flip flops and still had 45 minutes before the movie started. I remembered Story Coffee is nearby so I walked over to the coffee shop and boy was I in for a treat. The vibe is off the hook and they have waffles just like being in Europe again. I paired my waffle with a cappuccino and both were amazing! What a great day it was to give my truck some TLC, get some steps in, have a great cup of cappuccino and waffle, and a watch a great movie.

    Great coffee. Nice environment. No wonder the place was popping. The vegan pumpkin cake was pretty awesome too.

    The best coffee in the Pleasanton Livermore area. Always busy, good service and latte art - I appreciate the effort! They have a good selection of baked goods as well. Highly recommend.

    Cafe Mocha at Story Coffee in Livermore is the best especially if you add extra mocha.  Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

    I always get Cafe Mocha at Story Coffee in Livermore. This time I added extra mocha and of course it did not disappoint me, it's perfect!! The service is good and the ambiance is nice too!! Stop by at Story Coffee when you're in Livermore, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

    Does anyone know what kind of tea is in the honey tea latte? I think it is a combo of fig and something else. Thanks!

    Hey Jen! We use local Livermore honey, Oat milk, and the tea changes with the seasons. For Fall, it’s Cinnamon Fig!

I'm gonna be honest, I had their matcha from their OG store in Westwood when they were called Sip! I always thought their matcha was good, but I only got to enjoy it when I was going to school around there which was brief! Aside from now aging myself, I got the Guava Matcha from them and the employee recommended getting less sweet if I don't like overly sweet drinks. I have to say, it was perfect sweetness for me! The balance of matcha flavor and guava was 5/5. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm shopping in the area. It was satisfying and makes me crave their matcha!

The staff was welcoming every time I opened the door. They were kind enough to tell me which seasonal drinks I could adjust to oat milk, and the rest you can adjust the sweetness and add toppings for an extra charge. I tried their Snoopy Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha Latte with oat milk, less sweetness, and less ice. There was a strong Nutella flavor with good consistency, but the matcha wasn't strong enough for me when I didn't mix it. I even got myself a Snoopy matcha plush keychain as my birthday gift for $18, which is pricey but durable enough to hang on your bag. It's a pretty small shop, yet it's covered in cute and colorful decor. Plus, the tables are clean since most customers usually wait for their drinks and leave rather than sit down.

There's plenty of private parking, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and the upscale décor makes it a great place to meet friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. I ordered the Caramel Macchiato, and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. Rich espresso, perfectly balanced sweetness, and incredibly smooth. The pastries were just as impressive. The Pistachio Baklava Nest was generously filled with pistachios and had the perfect balance of crunch and sweetness. The Biscoff Cheese Danish was another standout, topped with Biscoff drizzle and a whole Biscoff cookie that made every bite even better. The café also has a large-screen TV and clean, separate men's and women's restrooms, making it comfortable for longer visits. Whether you're stopping by for your morning coffee or meeting up with friends, Delah Coffee delivers excellent drinks, delicious pastries, and an inviting atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Food: I went here twice and every single time I get any of the shwarmas or meat pies, its cold. Not just a little bit, the entire inside and bottom is soggy cold. It tastes good, super light not heavy, but the coldness makes it unappetizing unfortunatly. Additionally, the biscoff cake was super dry for a milk cake, but the taste is still nice. The saffron and caramel cake are nice though, milky, sweet, pairs well with a hot drink. Drink: Dissapointing. Matcha, Chai, Latte, Smoothie, Refresher--I tried them all and was dissapointing. Matcha (latte, mango, and strawberry) tasted insanely water, same with the adani chai--which is something I look forward to at every cafe. I think increasing the milk content in the chai could really improve it. Coffee was also done poorly (iced and hot). Refresher was alright, super sweet but other than that it wasnt bad. The only thing that was the best was the smoothie. The mangorabian tastes like a chocolatey mango lassi, you can't go wrong with a smoothie. Room for improvement on everything. Overall: Very nice elegant cafe that is perfect for hangouts and doing work, the food needs to get warmed up longer to avoid coldness and all the drinks need to be improved to increase the quality of the taste. Looking forward to the change!

If you prefer a bigger cup of coffee, you may be a little disappointed. The staff have always been friendly, welcoming, and professional during my visits.
