    Turkey / Chicken Pesto Panini Avocado and Goat Cheese and Citrus Toastini Bee Sting Salami
    Bianca S.

    Great bite! Saturday brunch is busy. We were attended to fast, and regularly asked if we were good. The staff were friendly and patient given the rush. I left happy full and refreshed. The vibe was busy this time but over all very cute, and relaxing. Great colors really using the light to make the tiny space feel welcoming and open.

    Fresh, intentionally prepared food, fancy lattes that are ready to drink. So good for a nice patio experience.

    Great spot with great options . Menu has lots of breakfast items and lunch items. Coffee here is also great . This spot has outdoor and indoor seating and does get packed .

    Came by for lunch with friends. the staff was helpful in putting together a table for us all outside, it was so nice that day but it ended up being too much of a hassle b/c some of us would've been out in the sun even w/the umbrellas so we were able to snag the large table in the back, inside. I enjoyed my sandwich, the food is delicious. It's a nice casual spot, you go up and order at the counter, then they bring your food to you.

    So on our way to SF this weekend we stopped in Livermore for a quick bite. We found this place, nice ambience downtown, and had easy parking close. For brunch my wife had the avocado toast, she absolutely loved it. I had the ham cheese and pickles...Now, if you love pickles, like I do...this is for you. If not, do not get. But for me, I loved my sandwich and loved the pickles. For drinks we got some lemonades, mine regular, my wife lavender. So refreshing...we want to come back to try the other items, since we pass through ever so often we will try. Def recommend.

    We came here for brunch post yoga. While the line seems long, it moves pretty fast so don't be alarmed! We were worried about seating, but people are pretty respectful and leave when they're done eating. I appreciated the little fly fan deterrents that were placed on the tables. Overall, the food is good and aesthetic. Can't wait to come back!

    The Press is a cute little artisan cafe in downtown Livermore. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of almond milk + the turkey pesto panini. The cold brew was great! The turkey pesto panini was good, but was more on the lighter side in terms of overall taste. I think it would have been better if paired with a side of tomato soup to dip it in. I came on a weekday so there was easy street parking and no wait, but by the time I left there was a line out the door. They do bring your order to your chosen table and also clear it afterwards.

    It was my first time trying The Press and it was so good! The staff were so nice and welcoming. They have so many good options of brunch and breakfast! Everything I tried was so good. Definitely can't wait to come back already. The inside was super cute, little flower decor and felt cozy.

    Solid 4! I definitely like this location better than Pleasanton. Less crowded and just as delicious! Still, very lively - so many people were there. Great place to meet friends for brunch. Their weekend brunch menu was a nice surprise - ordered the monte cristo and I swear I inhaled my food. Hard to find parking but worth it when you do. A nice staple in Livermore

    High quality ingredient array of drinks and everything is just so fresh. Breakfast tacos, yogurt bowl, and the turkey Reuben are my favorites. The ambiance is also nice. Friendly staff.

    Stopped by after a hike in the area around 1 PM, and I was definitely hungry for lunch! This place is a popular spot, but luckily we were able to get a table right away. The ordering system is casual--you place your order at the counter, and then they bring your food to your table. They had some weekend and seasonal specials, which was a nice touch, and the café has both indoor and outdoor seating. I loved that they even had blankets available outside for anyone wanting to stay a little warmer. By the afternoon, there weren't many pastries left, so unfortunately I didn't get to try any of their gluten-free options. What I ordered: a lavender lemonade and their Lizzy's Grits special. My friends got the chia pudding with a side of bacon and a latte, and a turkey panini with a side salad. Our food came out in about 15 minutes, and everything looked fresh and delicious. I ate every bite of my grits special--it was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. I also tried their hot sauce, but it was more vinegar-forward than I like, so I'm glad I didn't put it all over my meal. This is definitely a cute spot in downtown Livermore. Parking can be tricky, so I'd recommend using a nearby garage (it's free). I'll definitely be bookmarking this café and would love to try other menu items or visit their other locations when I'm in the area.

    On our drive to San Francisco we stopped by Livermore to have lunch. I found The Press on Yelp, it had some good reviews. The coffee was delicious so was the gluten free donut but the sandwiches we ordered we weren't too thrilled about them. I got a breakfast Sammy with sausage but the sausage tasted weird and I didn't like the tomato jam on it. I should have said to not use it. My husband got a ham and cheese grilled sandwich and said it was ok. Not great but not bad either. Location is good, ambiance is good and customer service is good. Friendly and attentive staff. Overall an ok love to eat when in the area.

    Cute Spot with Great Drinks and Friendly Service We stopped by The Press and enjoyed the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. There's seating both inside and outside -- we chose to sit outdoors, which was really cute and relaxing. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and guided us through the menu with great recommendations. I had the avocado + egg, which was fresh but would've been better with a poached egg instead of hard boiled, and a little more citrus for balance. The caramel latte was delicious -- probably my favorite part! The affogato was also tasty, but the ice cream-to-coffee ratio felt off -- there was so much ice cream I had to eat some just to pour the coffee in. My husband had the peach summer melt panini and loved the flavors, but it was a bit bread-heavy, with two slices in the middle that didn't have any filling between them. Overall, it's a charming spot with creative options, delicious drinks, and a staff that really makes you feel welcome. Just a few tweaks and it would be an easy go-to!

The inside was very cute and had a very clean look. They had two kiosk on the side if you want to order on your own or you can order with someone helping you. We ordered thru kiosk, so not too much interaction with staff. Drinks did come out fast though! Overall, decent place for drinks.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
