    Love stopping @ this location when my mornings permit it! The team's very friendly and welcoming. And, they're always taking care of me and my pup. I'm always gauranteed to walk away with a great start to my morning!

    FCC app. Very good upload speed compared to other locations.

    Newer Starbucks' location with drive thru, next to Les Schwab Tires . Friendly staff, attended to & clean restrooms, comfortable padded chairs for sitting at table to work at. Nice conversation seating in corner to meet up with friends. Close to I-580 exit for break from freeway driving.

    It was approaching 8pm and most of the local Starbucks were unavailable for ordering according to the app. This location was available to order from the app. And, although I had to back track 4 miles. I was VERY thankful they were open. They were conveniently located about a half mile from the freeway exit. They were very kind and happy and pretty well staffed to close at 8. Thank you for the great coffee and keeping me awake while I drive.

    I came for coffee and it's close wtf it's 6:12am

    The 1 day I decided to come to Starbucks early in the morning and it's closed. I even took the time to look up the store hours.

    Comfy chair!

    I come here every other month or so for a change of pace. Never had an issue with service. Decent indoor seating. Four of the comfy chairs, great for reading. Even those this location is supper busy with mobile and walk-on ToGo orders, the flow works. Outside seating is plentiful and the space for it is quite large. The overall feel is a bit dirty as the buildings are starting to get older. Being on the busy corner of Portola and North Livermore, the traffic noise outside is constant and loudly. Nicer seating and with umbrellas would brighten it up.

    there's a mark difference between urban and suburban locations of starbucks. especially the service, urban spots would say they ran out of medium or dark roast period. no longer available. suburban locations will offer to do a pour over. brew: dark roast pour over (m. 2.65) -smooth, neither robust or artisan tasting but not harsh. -nothing to get excited about, probably their pike's blend 3.5 stars steady inflow of patrons, all covid protocols in place.

    I love coming to this Starbucks not only because they're friendly and quick with service but they're super clean. I've been coming to this Starbucks since I was a kid during my Livermore high school years. They've always been super nice and quick making drinks even in their busiest times which is the mornings of-course. Whenever Im in Livermore I continue to come to this Starbucks. I get the Venti cold brew with a tiny amount of half&half or the strawberry acai drink. They're my go to drinks. They do offer mobile orders so if you're in a rush and do not want to wait in line I recommend downloading the app and creating an account. Covid-19 UPDATE: You can now finally sit inside and enjoy your drink and use their wifi doing work.

    Not a vanilla bean latte like I ordered

    Ordered in store with my husband and placed it to go. While it was fast, the order was wrong but we did not notice until we drove away. My Iced Vanilla Bean Coconutmilk Latte was turned into a vanilla latte with coconut milk. I was bummed because I was really craving the vanilla bean.

    I wouldn't even give this store a one. Customer service is really poor and aren't pleasant. Supervisors aren't doing their job properly.

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.

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 :)

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!

    The drinks here are wonderful. The baristas know what they're doing, everything from matcha (made…read morewith a proper chasen) to the pour overs are just scrumptious. The food is mostly not gluten or lactose free, but the owner, Holly, has made me special salads so that I can get something to eat there. This month, 02/2026, they have gf cakepops shaped like roses. The vibes are immaculate. The decor is fabulous, the plants are happy, the little spaceman in the mural is adorable. Overall, as the sign says, worth the u-turn!
