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.

If you get the same drink, Please remember to stir well before drink. Otherwise, chocolate hazelnut syrup is a bit strong. BTW, I order it because i saw this drink is Snoopy design. But when i get through drink, they still give Charlie Brown. Maybe they gave out of random.

It also has an old-timey study or library or at least a literary vibe to this place. There's multiple rooms, including a stage in the back room. I think they have events here. Service is friendly and they have classic drinks as well as some festive ones. I was here on St. Patrick's Day so I got something festive even though it was overly sugary lol. I ordered the Lucky Charms White Mocha. It was tasty, but definitely a drink I wouldn't be able to order on the regular. I was able to set up my computer and one of the side rooms and get some work done. This place seems to be a very popular place for studying and doing some work. Just a great place in a great area. They have a large lot and there's also plenty of street parking in the area, especially during the day.

Luckily, we were able to find street parking near a ballet shop, which worked out perfectly. The barista was friendly, and our drinks were made pretty quickly. I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks, a sweet maple drink, and it was delicious! I do wish I had mixed it more because most of the flavor seemed to settle toward the bottom, but overall, I really enjoyed it. My partner got the Brown Sugar Shaken, which he enjoyed. It wasn't too strong and had a nice, balanced flavor. The shop itself is also very clean, chill, and has a great atmosphere for studying or getting some work done. Definitely a spot I'd stop by again!

It took about 10 minutes, so it wasn't a long wait. And when I got my drink, it had plenty of mango chunks, pomelo pulp and sago. I even ordered it with no additional sugar. It was perfect for me as it was sweet enough with ripe mangoes. I enjoyed this fruity drink! 5/5

The best was definitely the hojicha latte, it's roasted matcha with some sort of tea as a base. Very delicious! The horchata was warm at the bottom and cold at the top. Pretty chalky but has a light nutty flavor, I liked it but my boyfriend did not like due to the thickness. It does water down with the ice. Then the strawberry matcha was pretty good, the strawberry chucks makes it hard to enjoy it, regardless it's very good. Very satisfied with all the drinks. Ambiance: 4/5 it's small not a study spot but it's nice and homey. No music and doesn't get busy it seems. Check this place out and help out local shops!

When that happens, I have to give them kudos because at some places, the changes are so subtle they're almost meaningless. The drinks were OK, and they did the job on a a cold and rainy morning. As for the pastries, they were just OK. I've had better at other bakeries (and other branches of this same company), and with the plethora of options around for baked goods, you can find better. With that being said, it may just have been the couple of choices we had for food. The ube filled baked good was not very good, but I say that as an ube fiend. I have ube a lot, including back in the motherland. It was more like taro than ube, when it came to taste. As for the quantity, there wasn't a lot of it either. The actually bread part was soft and nice, and it was pretty. The egg tarts weren't the best. They left something to be desired. I would suggest getting something else. Maybe we made the wrong choices this time at 85, because I've definitely had better baked goods at their other locations.

So it was Meadowlark who brought me here. I ordered the sweet latte. The coffee's nutty flavor comes through well in this drink. Although it was a "sweet" latte. It actually wasn't too sweet. Overall I was very pleased with the balance and flavor of this drink. This is probably my favorite latte in Livermore so far. I would come back in a heartbeat. Great, chill vibes here. A fair number of tables and seats inside. Tables also outside. Parking is a little tricky. Not too many spaces in their lot. A gem in Livermore.

Pastries looked really good but no gluten free options that I could see.

We ordered almost every single variation of the custom teriyaki Spam musubi, and every single one was so well made and packed with so much flavor (my favorite was the tamago musubi). The musubis were packaged well and honestly were reminiscent of the musubi cafes you'd find in Hawaii, which is exactly what we were searching for. They only do takeout for now and Leonard the owner brings out the orders to your car himself. He was super friendly and welcoming, and I got a chance to hear about his vision for Musubi Libre and I am even more of a fan because of it. Don't miss out on Musubi Libre, we'll definitely be ordering more musubis to go whenever we get the craving, which is ALOT.

I came here a few times and always walked pass this place because they're either not open early in the morning hours in the food court environment. Easy to spot on corner. Self service kiosk is a huge screen and credit cards accepted. You can see the colorful images of the beverages before placing order. They call out your number or beverage type when ready, so make sure you're nearby. You can also order over the counter which is usually faster. Cashiers are good people. We had the larger cup mango bits lychee jelly bits milk tea and smaller cup iced strawberry slushie. Decent beverage. Prices aren't the cheapest, but flavors are authentic. It is worth the hydration stop here.

Service was fast - we ordered through the kiosk and the drink came just a couple of minutes after. When we went, the ambiance was quiet. It was later at night so they didn't have any other customers at the time.
