    A gelato place! Yes! I stumbled upon this place while looking for something sweet after a big lunch. We were welcomed warmly and introduced the menu. I got the pistachio and my bf got the nutella. I was hoping they had spumoni but they didn't so pistachio was the next best thing for me. The gelato was creamy and sweet. I usually can't handle super sweet stuff so I am glad I got the smallest serving. Overall look store for something sweet, I want to go back to try the affogato next time.

    Verace is a great gelato shop located in downtown Livermore. They always have interesting flavors and they're fun to check out during Witches Night Out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Amarene (milk and black cherries) was the most recent flavor I tried and it was delicious. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Affagoto with Ferrero Rocher gelato
    D R.

    Verace's Ferrero Rocher gelato in an affagoto nails the balance of expresso, deep cocoa and toasted hazelnut warmth with praline crunch folded in. Service is always eccellente!

    The gelato was SO GOOD!! The line out the door was insane, but the workers were so fast and so kind!! They let us try flavors and recommended some. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The indoor and outdoor seating was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was cute and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was my 3rd time coming here and we'll def be back !

    Stopped in for a sweet treat and had the pistachio gelato. It was delicious! Highly recommend! The sugar cone was also fresh and delicious. You know how sometimes the cones can taste a bit stale, well not here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishment is very clean and roomy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can sit and enjoy your gelato.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Tiramisu ice cream

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outdoor heated seating area is nice to do some people watching on the side street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We've been here a few times and have tried the coffee, and tiramisu ice cream as well, but so far our favorite flavors were the mango (tastes like they just ground up mango and froze it - impressive) and the pumpkin spice (more creamy) and the waffle bowl was so good as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Careful, they can get crowded at times, but is well worth the wait![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute and bright decor drew us here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their many flavors were a definite plus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is great for cooler or hot days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff were friendly and quickly took orders. Their pumpkin spice was good but a tad too sweet. My single scoop was well presented and the small cone was a nice touch.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Verace is a lovely place downtown, bright and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Wife and I stopped by, and I was impressed with everything else you could get here besides gelato. We both had a combination of two gelatos. Mine was an almond based, and a hazelnut based combination. We both got the medium size, and regretted it, because it was generous and more than we needed. The service consisted of a polite young man, who was unable to pour any wine because he was underage. We didn't really want any, I just found it interesting that they offer it. The shelves have a number of different bottles for takeout, and the refrigerated case has a nice variety of Italian water and sodas and such.

    I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for an ice cream. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was not full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a 3 scoops - Gianduja, pistachio, almond orange. All were good flavors. Hot chocolate was good as well. Nocciolatte was a flavorful latte. The owner was a friendly lady.

    Gianduia and vanilla caramel
    Stevi B.

    YUM! Stopped in after dinner to check out Verace and it did not disappoint! I had a scoop of the vanilla caramel (SO good) and a scoop of the gianduia (I may be butchering that spelling). They were a delicious yin & yang combo that I certainly plan to be back for. The gelato had a thick but creamy consistency and was the perfect end to an evening out.

    Outside seating

    Verace opened where Boba & More once was. Decor & seating totally changed. Only the service counter similar + gelato station. Some inside seating, limited outside seating. Offerings (Italian) covfefe, gelato. Sips: Espresso Macchiato (4) -2d or 3rd time ordering this drink. Was pronouncing it wrong. Didn't know it was Italian. Now know to only order this drink from Italian cafes. -smiling, quick courteous service. Covfefe bold taste with lotsa foam on top with a cute design. Came with a small biscuit. Fresh, savory, not too sweet. *very satisfying. Got a Dubai Chocolate gelato sample. Rich chocolate taste, minimal sugar, non-dairy. All ingredients came from Italy. made in house with Italian gelato machine. 5 stars worthy! Quantity : reasonable Quality: Outstanding, Thatsa Italian

    Great local spot for gelato and coffee! They have good coffee, smooth tasting and bold. The latte I had in the shop was presented nicely and perfect for sipping. Strong, delicious. The nocciolatte is also excellent, a sweet hazelnut-y drink. So flavorful and exciting. The gelato flavors are rich and creamy. Of the ones I've had so far, amarene (milk and black cherries) is my favorite. It is so good. Soft milk flavor with delicious bursts of cherry. The dark chocolate is nice and very deeply chocolate-y. I found almond to be a bit gritty. Delicate in flavor.

    Italian bistro chairs, white interiors, azure sky and turquoise waters pictures on the wall from Capri and you wonder if you have stepped into Italy while walking Livermore downtown. The coffee and gelato aromas fill the air. I can give you a full argument that gelato has a fragrance, contest me if you want to. We got our gelatos (generous amount of scoops) and settled in at a table. Their signature flavor "Verace" was one of our favorites as well as the orange almond and the always good Straciatella. This is one of the best gelato we have had outside of Italy. You can tell by the color and taste of their pistachio flavor. They'll let you taste the flavors, so don't fret if you are confused with the variety. Also, if you like coffee, get their Affogato, it is super awesome.

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.

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. Great little gem in Livermore!

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.

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!
