We love The Stroll Cafe and have been countless times now. It's in the atrium of a business building and a great place to take friends, chat, or work. The owner makes her own coffee blends, breads, and pastries. You may find prices to be a bit high, but once you receive your order, you know why....and it's WORTH it. The sandwiches come on either the homemade sourdough bread or homemade baguette. Things like dragon fruit pickled onions on a ham and gruyere sandwich really add to the quality and freshness. The coffees with cold cheese cold foam (YES--CHEESE) are delicious. The foam adds a rich, creamy layer that you can watch swirl like a lava lamp in your cup, with an added tinge of saltiness. The croissants are not standard croissants that are super light and airy, however, they are clearly made with high quality ingredients and my friend, who orders croissants everywhere we go, loves them. This is one of my favorite places for coffee, breakfast pastry or sandwich, or lunch. Everyone I take there loves it too. read more

I got the iced vanilla latte, and I was pleasantly surprised. The espresso was pulled perfectly, and the color of the latte was exactly what you'd want to see. The only reason I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars is because it didn't have a strong vanilla flavor. It tasted more like lightly sweetened coffee than a true vanilla latte with a rich vanilla bean taste. Other than that, the service was excellent and very fast. I loved watching them brew the espresso shots and prepare the coffee fresh right in front of me. The bakery itself is absolutely beautiful, with a great atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by not just for the coffee, but also to enjoy the space and take a few pictures. read more

A solid little cafe in the middle of an atrium of an office building, filled with green plants. Definitely hidden gem status. The space is cute-ish and they're serving up fresh sandwiches, coffees and baked goods. The turkey sandwich was simple, basic, but good with highlighting the fresh bread. The iced tea solid. It took a minute to log on to the atrium's free wifi, but I got there. Overall, a nice little lunch excursion - a good option for a unique lunch date, coworking session or if you're nearby. read more

How cute is this is this little cafe. It's hidden in a business building and it seems like a lot of people in the nearby businesses eat here a lot! A ton of parking in the back since the front is usually packed. They have a lot of seating and it's in this Forrest looking place, super duper cute! I got the turkey sandwich and it was fire. They make their bread homemade and it was very noticeable. One thing I didn't love about the sandwich was how stiff the bread was and everything just kept coming out of the sandwich in the side that's open. Other than that, no complaints! read more

What a change of environment entering this cafe in The Atrium building on a Friday around 11am. Parking lot is shared with other nearby buildings. There's plenty of space on back side too. The courtyard area is covered with lots of fresh greens and surrounded by office suites. There's mainly seatings/tables out in the courtyard area, but bar counter and a few chairs are inside this tiny and casual office style cafe. It's perfect for if you work nearby. Excellent customer service. Not many employees either. They do get very busy here due to popularity in the plaza, but it's worth waiting another 15-20 minutes for your order. Good vibes. So green and so clean. I had the $15.75 avocado sourdough sandwich (lots of green alfalfa sprouts), $8.50 Dave's Oat (topped with strawberries), and a $3.50 small cup hot green jasmine tea. I certainly tipped them good here. Everything was good. They have breakfast items, limited pastries, and matcha flavored beverage too. Great place to grab and go or enjoy outside in the covered courtyard area. Tranquillity in nature under a roof is good. There's public restrooms onsite in one of the hallways near the building doors. It was a pretty good experience and great first impression. Lines are common here. Not bad for a very tiny storefront inside a unique setting. Overall, decent and casual. Good spot to catch up on a Friday morning. I like it here. Customers appear decent and employees are hardworking & multitasking/busy for sure. Find a good spot to enjoy! read more

The Stroll Cafe and Bakery opened 4 years ago where Cafe Joy once was. Atrium building. The patio in front and the cafe itself doesn't have any noticeable change of decor. The smell of fresh baked pastries evident upon approaching the cafe. Nearly every table outside was occupied unlike my previous visit to Cafe Joy when few patrons were noticed. .greeted & Served promptly upon reaching counter. Drink came in a minute. Offerings: pastries, sandwiches, breakfast, Leige waffles, hot drinks, coffee. Sips: drip coffee (5) lg cup black, no sugar. -served right after ordering. Premade in thermos...hot..,tastes ala light roast blend. Easy sipping coffee. Not watery. Has. Flava. 4ish stars: great service, quality product, reasonable pricing. Improbable repeat. Parking very scarce. read more

Nested inside an office building is The Stroll Café and Bakery. A garden welcomes you after you enter the door. Tall trees and palm trees and plants, not a little garden of flowers. And a fountain. Tables here and there. Not for a big crowd, but an oasis of calm and rest. The café offers a few choices of viennoiseries, butter croissant, pain au chocolat, matcha and strawberry wheel... an assortment of cookies, madeleines ... The menu offered breakfast and lunch. We ordered a roast beef and avocado on sourdough bread, and a turkey and avocado on baguette, and some croissants to take home. The honey matcha latte was just so so, the pale green color disappointed me, not enough matcha. The sandwiches were satisfying, the croissants not flaky and buttery enough for me though. Service was friendly and fast. read more

This is a hidden gem situated in an office building. There is minimal signage directing passerbys to step inside the building. But once inside, you are transported into what appears to be outside space with lush greenery and a fountain in the middle of the atrium. The atrium is actually open to the outside with open skylights at the top of this multi story building. We even saw and heard birds inside thr atrium. The cafe is conveniently located on the first floor with a number of patio dining sets for diners. The menu is simple with your typical pastries, breakfast sandwiches and lunch specialty sandwiches. None of the lunch sandwiches come toasted or heated, which is left to be desired. Bread options are sourdough or baguette. I am usually not a fan of sourdough but this was particularly good as it had a very soft center, crisped edges and appeared to be wheat (not white). Prices are on the high end where a typical sandwich alone averages $17. There are definitely better sandwich options elsewhere. The one redeeming feature of this cafe is the unique ambience of the atrium. read more

Hidden gem alert Tucked inside a business building across the mall, this coffee spot totally surprised me in the best way. As soon as you walk in, you're instantly amazed--beautiful indoor trees, glass ceilings, and such an airy, peaceful vibe. It doesn't even feel like you're in a typical office building. They offer fresh baked pastries, a solid coffee selection, and a full menu with breakfast and lunch options. I ordered the Dubai chocolate latte, an almond croissant, and a ham and egg sandwich. The sandwich threw me off a bit with the boiled egg (not what I expected). The drink was alright, and the almond croissant didn't have that super flaky texture I've had from other cafes. The owner is incredibly friendly, and you can really tell she puts so much love and care into both the food and the shop--it shows in every detail. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere--such a cute, low-key spot for catching up. Had the best girl time here and wouldn't mind coming back to check out more items on their menu! read more

This beautiful cafe is located in one of the most beautiful office spaces. I felt like I was in the jungle. And it was the perfect temperature that day, so I definitely dined outside. But note, they do have some bar stools inside if you opt to dine in. I found this gem on TikTok because it was going viral. I ordered the Spanish latte, which was fine. But the star of the show was the tuna sandwich on a baggette. Seriously the best tuna I've ever had. They make their own bread so it was extremely fresh. The sandwich had tomato, sprouts, red onion, and banana peppers. It's been 3 days and I'm still thinking about that sandwich. I'll definitely be back. read more

Though there is ample parking, The Stroll is surreptitiously tucked into what looks almost like another office building, save for the big sign out front. Google Maps navigated me really reliably to the entrance, though, so finding the spot was not difficult at all. The store is located to the left of a small square populated with greenery and a little fountain as the centerpiece. There is a little seating within the cafe, which is cozy and clean, but most of the seating is scattered throughout this central plaza space. It's really beautiful and makes for a great place to stop and relax. The service is efficient and the servers are very helpful and informative. I like that they roast their beans in-house! They have a pretty expansive menu for food, pastries, and drinks (more than I would have expected for a small cafe), but I did enjoy the latte and pastry I ordered. I wish the coffee was a stronger, but the sweetness and flavor profile was enjoyable. I strongly recommend giving this place a shot, maybe as a quick stop for breakfast or brunch. The prices are on the low side of average, and the fare is enjoyable. That said, I wouldn't suggest coming with a large party, as the seating available mostly accommodates parties of 2-4. read more

Stroll Cafe & Bakery is located in a calm, quiet space inside the 5776 office building. When you enter, there's an atrium with plenty of seating and lots of greenery. It's a nice place if you want a low-noise spot to relax or get some work done. I ordered the iced Dubai chocolate latte, which had pistachio cream spread along the side of the cup and chocolate drizzle at the bottom. It had a strong coffee flavor and wasn't as sweet as expected. I also tried the almond and chocolate croissants, which were buttery and had a generous filling, but the texture was a bit more bready than flaky, possibly because they were discounted and not completely fresh that day. I'd like to come back to try their sourdough since I've heard good things about it. The limited weekday hours make it a bit harder to visit, but it sounds like they're planning to expand, which is exciting. It's a decent spot if you're looking for a quieter cafe, just not my favorite for pastries. read more

A literal hidden gem! My friend sent me an IG video featuring The Stroll's pastries, and I've been wanting to go since. Regrettably I didn't order a pastry this time as I went during lunch, but I will absolutely be back for breakfast to try one! I love unsuspecting locations. They're in an office building across from Stoneridge Mall, and you have to walk through a forest courtyard (?!?!?) to reach their entrance. Where am I LOL. Lucky employees who have this right downstairs! I assume the building is closed on the weekends since the cafe is only open M-F. If I had known breakfast was offered all day until sold out, I would've ordered an avocado & egg ($8.50) on a croissant (extra $1). Alas, I still panic at the register. Roast Beef Avocado ($16): Option for house-baked sliced country sourdough or baguette! This was so darn good and turned out to be exactly what I was craving. It can get messy, but it was worth it! I think the bread made it even better than any typical roast beef sandwich you can make at home. Spanish latte ($6): Double shot of espresso with condensed milk! I liked it and would get again cold. I'm curious about their Sunrise Espresso ($6.50) which is a double shot with orange juice over ice. I believe they offer pre-orders via email and text so you don't have to wait if you're in a rush! I hope more people find them on Yelp or IG since they technically don't have a super visible public storefront. read more

The ambiance you're in for a , good one, forest and water feature all in less stress sitting outside INSIDE The Atrium Cafe is long gone...now today it's The Stroll, yes strollers are welcomed. But THE COFFEE! WOAH Fresh roasted on site! Even decaf rolling out. We had the Sunrise iced Esp., invented there, and mine is the Hispanic Latte or is it Latin Latte? Mmmm not too spicy, but a game changer for us. Inside an older office building , we'll be back for.the bag of fresh baked English muffins, i like em' better than the Napa ones.

Tried this place a couple weeks back because there cafes went viral on social media! The ambiance was very unique. Views inside is quite peaceful and calm. The service was really nice. The barista recommend me good drinks and food when I went. I ordered a coffee, matcha, and a sandwich. The coffee was good, good flavor, matcha was just alright probably will not order it again. The sandwich was really good tasted fresh. Overall I give this new cafe a 4/5 star review. I'm glad I stumbled upon this gem in Pleasanton! read more

Nice to have somewhere close to my office to grab a quick bite to eat. I had come here with the previous owners. So this was my first time with the new ownership and it was impressive they remodeled nicely and everything looks soo fresh. Little bit pricey good menu.

The coffee shop itself has a great atmosphere and the space was very clean and welcoming. Unfortunately, my experience with the coffee was disappointing. I ordered the tiramisu iced latte, and the almond milk flavor completely overpowered everything else. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just my preference, so my friend tried it with regular milk and had the same reaction. I don't think adding an extra shot of espresso would have fixed the issue because the balance of flavors just wasn't there. Considering the price and the overall taste of the drink, I wouldn't recommend the latte. That being said, I did enjoy their pastries and would definitely come back to try more of those! read more

The ambiance is crazy!! Its in front of a beautiful atrium with birds flying around. The workers were so kind and I even got an extra madeline for being the first customer of the day :) I got a hot spanish latte with oat milk (no extra charge) and brown butter and yuzu glaze madelines. The yuzu glaze was my favorite!! They play really nice and fun music to start the day! Plenty of parking outside. read more

Went here on a Friday morning, it's not too busy during the time and I got my items pretty quickly. Before I talk about what I had, let me tell you about the ambience. You walk in and see all the greenery inside of a building!! It's very gorgeous. Theres a small fountain so your white noise is light talking and water splashing. Sandwiches: My friend and I got two different sandwiches, both on the baguette. We got the tuna sandwich and the prosciutto mozzarella sandwich. With tax, each comes out to be around $19. The bread is soft inside and has that crispy outside layer that you want when you bite into a sandwich. We both liked the tuna sandwich more. The prosciutto mozzarella sandwich wasn't bad, but maybe I just don't favor the taste of that type of sandwich. The alfalfa sprouts definitely were stronger than the rest of the ingredients in it, so I took some out. Tuna had a stronger taste than the prosciutto, so the alfalfa sprouts weren't as strong. Ingredients were very fresh! Drinks: Spanish latte and Honey matcha. Nothing special, I probably wouldn't come here for the drinks. Overall, I'd go here for the ambience and sandwiches. Looks like a good study spot. I really enjoyed the bread.... read more

The cashier who took my order wasn't rude, but he didn't seem very warm or welcoming. There were also a couple of mix-ups. He handed me my sandwich and told me to have a good day even though I was still waiting on two drinks. A coworker (possibly the manager) had to remind him. When I started eating my sandwich, I realized it had been made on a muffin instead of the croissant I ordered. To their credit, they remade it without any issues. I don't mind mistakes--they happen. But a smile and a friendly attitude goes a long way, especially in the morning. On a positive note, both the manager(?) and owner were very friendly and welcoming. The atrium is also beautiful and makes for a really nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy your food. And the matcha cookie? Easily one of the best I've ever had. That cookie alone has me wanting to come back and give the place another try. read more

You won't be disappointed. read more

Hopefully your matcha actually has matcha, unlike this $7.52 cup of milk lol. The kitchen sure was lively so maybe the pastries are better?
