    Chick Magnet
    Brandy G.

    Came here with a bestie at his request. The service was decently fast, there was no wait, and it was very nice! It was in a day that it was pouring rain and we ate outside but the umbrellas they have did wonders! I ordered water and the chick magnet sandwich. I almost got the hot chicken sandwich but wasn't feeling spicy that day. the one I got was actually really good! They just opened a brand new parking garage literally right behind this restaurant so you don't have to keep circling the downtown street over and over again anymore lol. Cute place, kinda modern, worth going to.

    Chilaquiles (~$20)

    We went here for Father's Day and overall weren't that impressed with the meal. Staff were super friendly though a little slow since we were seated in the back. I wouldn't make an effort to come back though. PASS: + Chilaquiles (~$20) were nicely crunchy and came with chorizo! I did like how the eggs were cooked. Just not a fan of the green salsa they use as it was too tangy to enjoy

    Table for 4 on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation and luckily the wait was only about 20 mins. We were seated outside in their front patio, overall space is pretty big as I noticed later on that they even have seating in the back and inside too. After having been seated, it took quite some time to get our food. Staff nonetheless were nice but a little slow to bring over requests (ie napkins). I ordered a Bloody Mary - 2/5. Tall cup but I felt like there was very little inside. Overall taste was nothing out of this world, very bland as was the garnish. For food I ordered the Philly Omlette - 2/5. The meat was so dry and lacked any seasoning! Disappointing - salsa was the only thing that saved it and ketchup for my potatoes. Of which, the potatoes were OK. Portion is huge, I definitely could have shared with 1 other person. Overall my experience was OK. Not to be my first choice for a future brunch spot in the area.

    The staff here is incredible !!!! working like a well-oiled machine all day long. I've seen assembly lines with less efficient processes than this crew. There was never a moment of huddling or bustling around confused; they turned over so many dishes and tables while I was there, and still had time to check in on you with a genuine smile. My only issue was with the female owner. When she stepped in, she seemed to throw off the rhythm the staff had going. During my meal at the counter, I watched her talk down to and directly order around three employees right in front of customers. A little "please," or pulling someone aside privately, would go a long way for both employee morale and the customer experience. Now for the food: it was great, if a little light on salt (though that might just be my own preference). The tacos had good flavor and just the right amount of sauce. I'd recommend the crispy potatoes, and the French toast is a hands-down guilty pleasure. The latte was solid and came out fast. Overall, I'd absolutely stop by again.

    Omg! I've been having breakfasts in Livermore for a long time and how did I miss this place?!!! Super cute place with multiple seating areas, out front, indoors and back area with a BAR!!!!! The back area is so spacious to accommodate large parties! Let me tell you about the food!!! I got Ohana Pancakes, it comes with pineapple, coconut and Mac nut syrup. I got mine without pineapple and it was drooling delish!! The two pancakes were light and airy, not dense like some pancakes. Sprinkled with coconut and a heaping serving is their delicious Mac nut syrup!! I wish there was more mac nuts...but all good, still delish. My sister ordered Joe's omelette (scramble listed on the menu). It comes with ground beef, spinach, onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Comes with a side of toast and country potatoes. Again, a large portion of deliciousness! We also ordered Aloha mimosas- made with bubbles, vodka, passion, and guava. I couldn't finish it cuz they made it so good the alcohol was getting to my head This place is going to be a repeat place cuz I want to try everything on the menu! Everything we had was very tasty! Oh and of course one of our fav servers works there now. He didn't serve us but glad I got to see him. Pepe- we'll seat where you serve next time!!! See you again! I was so preoccupied by the cute place I forgot our server's name, which also provided excellent service!!! Thanks everyone! We'll be coming back again. And for those early birds like me, this place is open 6am-3pm only. So good to know I have somewhere to go that early in the am.

    We came on a Saturday morning and we got sat immediately. They have a front patio and back patio along with inside seating. They had a variety of drinks and food to choose from. We got the cookies and cream cold brew and the tiramisu latte and both were good! For food we got the chicken fried steak and the french dip with provolone cheese and both were very good.

    Well, what did I say about this place. I was in the area and was hungry. My daughter and I were looking for places to eat breakfast. We stumbled upon this little gem. Is small. It's cute and it has a vibe that matches downtown Livermore. If you're hungry and have time definitely check this place out you won't be disappointed. I am pretty sure this place gets super busy on the weekends and parking is a little tough.

    Kid and dog friendly brunch spot. Came by at 11am on a Saturday with my mom and infant and grabbed a shaded table on their front patio. Their front patio overlooks main Street and is a great spot to people watch on the weekend. Our server was friendly, efficient and gave recommendations when asked. I ordered the sunrise sandwich with country potatoes and a latte and everything was yummy and thoughtfully prepared. Servings are quite generous too! I will definitely return and especially recommend for anyone dining out with your fur ptr human baby!

    Cute outdoor patio dining.

    I came here to Mornings on First on a Friday morning and we opted for outdoor seating since we brought our dogs. Such a cute and comfortable dining space on a beautiful February morning. Service was swift and friendly from beginning to end. The menu was not overly large, but you are bound to find a couple of items that intrigue you. My friend and I decided to share as we normally do two dishes - the Mushroom Market toast and the Dad's French toast. Prices are average for the area, but definitely breakfast prices are climbing anywhere you go in the Tri-Valley. Our food came out not long after we placed our order. Our server continued to be very helpful with all of our requests including getting side dishes and additional condiments. Flavors were good, however, the bread for the mushroom toast seemed a bit stale. Other than that, the ambiance truly won me over. This is definitely worth a try!

    All American Breakfast
    Nicki P.

    First time visiting Mornings On First for a belated Mother's Day breakfast. We were promptly seated and offered either indoor or outdoor dining. We opted for outdoors since it was a nice day. I got the All American Breakfast with egg whites and bacon and cold brew to drink. My son got the French toast breakfast. Order came out in about 20 minutes. Everything was delicious but the bacon was a standout as it was extra crispy and amazing!!! Generous portions so I was stuffed when finished. I saw a lot more on the menu that I want to try so I'll be back!

    Ohana Pancake, Waffle Royale, side of sausage and country potatoes, and Iced Caramel Macchiato
    Joyce J.

    Went on a sunday with about 30-35mins wait and once the table is ready will received a text. It has been 45mins and haven't not received text yet, so went in the front desk and asked how long more to wait and was told we're still 2nd in line, but the girl said they sit us now, and we got seated on the back area. We saw tables that are open, hmmm ok why it took so long. Anyway, so we ordered our food but we still waited for about 20mins for our food to arrive. We ordered Ohana Pancake, Grand Prix from the kid's menu, and Waffle Royale. The Ohana Pancake was good but not great, and the Waffle Royale my husband said it was a bit hard and only ok. The staffs are friendly.

    Stew's special
    Hannah K.

    Mornings on First wouldn't be my first brunch spot in Downtown Livermore, but they ended up having no wait on a Sunday mid morning so we decided to try it! We ordered the Stew's Special (French toast, 2 eggs, and choice of meat) along with biscuits and gravy. The order took longer than expected to come out. Our favorite part of the order was the pork sausages, but I wouldn't come for the French toast as there are other spots nearby that do it better. Overall the service and experience were good but I still stand by my statement that this wouldn't be my first choice for brunch in the area. Their outdoor seating out front looked cute though if you are looking for a patio brunch experience!

    My sister and I have shared their Ohana Pancakes a few times now, and we still salivate when we talk or text about them. Pineapple, coconut, and macadamia cream sauce over perfectly cooked pancakes makes this a 11/10. Definitely our favorite and what brings us back. We've also tried their Breakfast Tacos (8.5/10) country fried steak breakfast (10/10) and club sandwich (10/10). It looks small when you first walk in, but there's plenty of seating in their back patio. Service is always friendly and their coffee is great too.

    This is the only Junbi location I've visited twice for their limited-edition BT21 and Snoopy…read moremerchandise. I just like how easy the parking is compared to other locations in the Bay Area. 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.

    Went Junbi only because of Snoopy. Ordered Chocolate…read moreHazelnut Matcha Latte. It was ok. Even though it's normal sweetness, I feel it's not sweet enough. 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.

    Everything about this cafe is done right! I was on a road trip with my friends and needed caffeine,…read moreso we stopped by! It's right off of the freeway, so it's so convenient! Parking is easy and the service is so sweet and fast! You can customize your drink with so many syrup choices and cold foams. I got the vanilla bean matcha, Vietnamese coffee with toasted marshmallow cold foams, and vanilla cold brew! The best parts were that they don't charge extra for milk substitutes, they had free wifi, and charging cables!! Perfect for charging up for the long road trip! The interior is so clean, cozy, and well decorated and they also sell sauces and merch! Overall, this is such a great place to stop by!

    Just finished my sandwich and coffee, ran to make a review because it was so good!…read more I think this place deserves to be popular. Livermore doesn't have a lot of Vietnamese or matcha cafe options so it was so nice to find this spot. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by warm smiles and amazing service. The cafe was intimate and clean. Cozy with surrounding local art and coffee beans. A huge plus is they use Chromatic beans (my favorite) Beverage: variety of options available for both coffee and matcha lovers. There's also Italian soda and lemonade too. I got the Vietnamese cold brew which was a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. Sometimes Vietnamese coffee can be too sweet so this was nice. I think it would pair well with the 6-8 cold foam options too including ube or brown sugar vanilla cf. also they use pebble ice which is my favorite kind haha 10/10 Food: Asian fusion options were available with toasts, sandwiches, savory to sweet oats, sweet toasts and pastries. I got the smoked salmon labneh sandwich. DELICIOUS! Creamy labneh worked refreshingly well with the pickled onions and buttery croissant. I can't recommend that one enough 10/10 Service: easy 10/10! Welcoming and kind Parking: 10/10 large lot and easy to find parking

The food and drink menu is fairly extensive, and prices are on the moderate side, so it's worth taking a look at all of your options to find something that fits your taste and appetite. Everything I've tried so far has been tasty, satisfying, and filling. If you're dining in and order their house drip coffee, they provide a coffee mug, and the coffee is self-serve along with the available extras. If you decide to take your drip coffee to go, just keep in mind that they only offer one size of to-go cup, and it's not particularly large. 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. With all of the other options available in Livermore, this is definitely a place worth checking out if you're looking for a good spot downtown to grab some food and a drink.
