My first encounter with Story coffee was their collab with Meadowlark dairy - the soft serve and the milkshake. They were both so true to taste, not sweet and just so good! 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. read more

I've been here only once before a long time ago! I remember the shop having a great aesthetic and cute merch. Summer menu looked good! I got a matcha latte with their sweet syrup (I think it's just a simple syrup). Took a while to get our drinks but we must've missed a rush since the line was shorter. There is some seating but not a lot, with a few tables also outside. We waited in the back for our drinks and used their restroom (it was very clean!). Pastries looked really good but no gluten free options that I could see. read more

A must stop whenever I'm in the area. Literally the only place I'm ok with having a latte that is this light brown shade. It may look 90% milk, which it might be but its a perfect blend of sweetness and coffee flavor. It's simple and sweet without being overpowering. The matcha here is my favorite as well! The pastries are also quite good. Staff is always kind and the overall vibe is pretty chill. The parking lot however is horrific so plan for extra time to find parking near by. read more

The espresso flavor was nice and light and the blueberry cold foam was a nice little touch on top, whenever I need a mid day pick me up , I know that I will keep Story coffee in mind. I highly recommend trying them and making them your coffee spot. Service was very friendly and helpful with the menu read more

I have gone here a couple time so it is time for a review! This little gem is located in the busy downtown Livermore by Maple Street and Cheeseparlor. 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. read more

A very cool cafe with amazing vibe with interesting quick breakfast options. Staff is very welcoming. 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 :) read more

My goto coffee spot in Livermore but it can take some time to get your order. Usually I either get a latte or iced sweet latte. Starting to buy my beans there too for day to day. A bit loud inside. Small parking lot that can be a bit inconvenient to get out of so I usually either street park or go to the parking structure nearby. Excited for their second location in Blacksmith's Square read more

Whiskey latte was better than I thought; not too strong. Lavender matcha was ordered half sweet and it was perfect! I would definitely come back. I wanted to buy some of their whole beans but a bag was $24; no thank you. read more

ok - was in the area again dropping my girly pop off at doggy camp and so i had to stop in again to grab my energy before errands and work. Parking lot was already full to my surprise as I didn't expect this place to be poppin at 8:30-9am but pretty steady flow. Ooh and there was this hottie cop on there today and I hope he sees this lol!! Ok so reason for my updated review is to say that getting here early, you get a wider variety of pastries. And the waffle y'all! They made it fresh to order and it is goooodt and warm and yummy and perfect with a cold brew. Nice handheld lap snack while driving to my next destination. They sell hoodies too. The camo hoodie seems the be a hit. Might just get one next time. $60 read more

This review is very late but I enjoyed my visit to story coffee. It was out of the way for me but I kept hearing good things so I decided to do the 30 min drive. When I was ordering their machine stopped working and they could not get it back up. Of course I waited patiently and they were so kind to comp my coffee for me. Customer service was great and they recommended a pastry that I really enjoyed. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area. read more

I've heard so much about Story Coffee and was finally able to check it out for myself. I dropped off my truck at Les Schwab in Livermore for a tire rotation and they told me they needed two and half hours. Okay, no worries. I decided I'll go to the movies to "The Bride". I walked one and a half miles to downtown Livermore in flip flops and still had 45 minutes before the movie started. I remembered Story Coffee is nearby so I walked over to the coffee shop and boy was I in for a treat. The vibe is off the hook and they have waffles just like being in Europe again. I paired my waffle with a cappuccino and both were amazing! What a great day it was to give my truck some TLC, get some steps in, have a great cup of cappuccino and waffle, and a watch a great movie. read more

My last review is 8 years old so it's time to update! Went in today and it was fabulous. Everyone is always so friendly and the coffee is fantastic. I'm more of a double espresso guy but my wife loves the matcha. Nice baked goods as well. I see they're also opening a new location soon in Blacksmith Square. Really looking forward to that! read more

Story Coffee is a small coffee shop that delivers big flavor! Everyone was so kind and efficient. I came in on a weekday, mid-morning, a few people but no line. I ordered a honey latte and Kouign-amann. The honey latte was super tasty and the Kouign-amann paired perfectly. read more

Favorite Coffee drink in Livermore imo - The Bourbon/Whisky Latte. Really balanced with the flavors, sugar, bourbon notes, etc.. Service was solid, and Layout was okay. I don't really give out 5 stars that much but I would view this a spot that's good to pick up craft-coffee drinks and not really a sit down. Reception and staff were nice. read more

The best coffee in the Pleasanton Livermore area. Always busy, good service and latte art - I appreciate the effort! They have a good selection of baked goods as well. Highly recommend. read more

This is a great local spot with a better atmosphere and overall quality than many big-name chains. The interior is clean and modern, and the drink menu has plenty of options to satisfy just about any craving. They also offer food, which is a nice bonus. Parking is the only real downside. The lot is very small and can be challenging, especially during busy times. The place also gets crowded, likely because it's popular and surrounded by other businesses. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Great place! Cute cups! Friendly workers! The matcha is super green - we tried the original and lavender. I wish this place was closer because I'd love to try all of the flavors. I had previously tried the sweet latte before, but hope to try the whiskey latte as well. Since that is a unique flavor they make in house last time we got to almond croissants, which were very fresh and tasty as well. Be sure to come in early as they sell out of their pastries. read more

The only 3rd wave coffee I have found in Livermore. Love their almond milk cappuccino and bought beans for pour overs at home!

I was hoping to have options of the pastries and it was only 3pm and when I got here. They only have two options, I pick the waffle it was okay not fresh. Maybe they just reheat it. I tried their lavender latte, small hint of lavender. It was good. I love the cups to dine in. The service was good, two ladies are friendly and help me a lot with my order. Place is simple few seats inside and outside which is great. I like the have whiskey latte I'll try it next time. read more

Came here over the weekend with family and this has been my second visit to their storefront, i learned about them when they were at the farmers market. The service is really good. Both times I've visited, I've ordered the whiskey latte and was underwhelmed, it really didn't taste like anything. Their pastries are really good though. I plan to come back and will give the sweet latte a try. read more

Easy coffee shop to get to in downtown Livermore. Overall, pretty small and a just a couple seats available, but if you're looking for a little more upscale coffee, this place will do. Personally, I don't tend to get matcha in places that don't specialize in it, but it was not too bad. Plus they do some nice latte art too. read more

Friendly service but subpar food and drink during my first visit here. Tried their whiskey latte which is made with actual bourbon, but unfortunately it was overall flavorless and didn't get any notes of the spirit. Sampled the almond croissant and the kouign amann, which were both just okay. Not much filling, and they don't have an oven to serve them warm. read more

I've been to story coffee a few times. This place never disappoints. Parking can be hard to come by. Their staff is great and always very kind and helpful. Their menu is decent.

A solid mocha and decent pastries! I came here early morning before running some errands and ordered a couple of their pastries to try along with my mocha. The apple pie was pretty solid, along with the kouign amann, but I found the liege waffle to be just alright. It's a bit out of the way for me so I wouldn't say I'd come back, but it's a decent place to have a morning coffee if you're in the area. read more

Tried their Whiskey Latte and it was definitely an interesting drink, non-alcoholic but still had a unique flavor. Not sure if it's interesting enough for me to order again though.

Nice vibe overall! read more

Very cute coffee place. I liked the seasonal menu options and got one with mint and bourbon in it. The gentleman at the register was great and figured out a way to make the drink caffeine free for me since it's originally made with cold brew. However I am very annoyed with businesses that don't accept cash. I understand it may be "easier" as a business, but it's our official currency! And I prefer to pay for smaller purchases, like a $6 coffee with cash. Anyways, got my drink and I feel like it needed more flavor. I could barely taste any mint in it and none of the bourbon. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning a little after opening. There were plenty of seats to choose from, and my latte came out nicely. The staff are very nice.

this coffee shop took me by surprise! while the menu seems limited, i promise you, the quality of their items is 100% there. if you get anything at all, let it be the waffle. i was skeptical at first, but the reviews are right. it really is out of this world. it's served fresh, hotter than a hot cake, with the perfect level of sweetness and a mochi-like softness that's chewy and oh-so-satisfyingly delicious. as a snack, it filled both my belly and my heart. i also appreciated that alternative milk (almond or oat) was available for their drinks. they had an earl grey latte that was on their seasonal menu, and it was phenomenal. sometimes you need to give an extra shout-out when bathrooms are surprisingly well maintained, and this is one of those times. i was so pleased with the cleanliness and aesthetic. this is the most perfectly charming coffee shop. if only it had more seating and a larger space in general -- it would be the perfect place to come and get some work or reading done every day! read more

I ordered the seasonal cherry latte to go. When I got back to the office, I found out I was given a matcha latte. I tried calling them but the number listed is disconnected. I don't have a way to notify them of their mistake. Edit: They just called me and explained that the drink is actually a cherry matcha. He also refunded my drink, which is awesome. Excellent customer service along with quality drinks. read more

I always come here every time I drive from the Bay Area back to SoCal and I always look forward to it. I usually pick up a latte, pastry, and a bag of coffee beans which are always freshly roasted within the past week. I recently got the whiskey latte, and I actually really enjoyed it because the subtle taste of the bourbon compliments and doesn't overpower the coffee. The staff is really friendly, the interior feels very cozy yet modern, like a coffee shop you would find in LA, and they have a lot of really cute merch! read more
