The OG location of my absolute favorite lunch cafe!I personally love to come here and get the panini half and half so I get to try two sandwiches for the price of one. I love the dill pickle bacon sandwich, salami pesto, and the turkey Rueben. I also recently had their frittata and it was truly excellent! Like way better than any other one I’ve ever had!One cool thing you may not immediately notice is that this place has a huge rear patio with a ton of seating and heaters! It’s usually not packed, cause if you know you know!I just wish they were open Sundays so I didn’t have to make the trek out to Livermore to get my fix!

This place was a delight for brunch, the ambience was very trendy and the customer service was great but there was a long line when I arrived Saturday morning for brunch. You look at the menu while in line, order at the counter and pay, then find a place to sit either inside or outside. There wasn’t a lot of available seating, but we managed to snag two seats on a bench looking out the window. The bowl and avocado toast were really good with a good balance of sweetness to texture for the bowl and seasoned nicely for the avocado toast, the radish was definitely an interesting twist. The jalapeño roast beef sandwich was really tasty as well, I personally wouldn’t have minded it being a bit stronger with the spice from the jalapeño but it was still yummy. The pineapple bunt cake was delicious, but it was dry on some parts and really moist closer to the center. I also got a matcha lemonade which was really good and I was able to get a refill to go. Strong 8/10 for me, if I came back I’d definitely try something different to explore more of the menu.
Very fresh and delicious!Also I always try lavender lemonade anywhere I can find it and this one by far my favorite been years since I found one like this.I got the breakfast Sammie and it was so good, we got the grits to share but I may just get that for myself next time by far tastiest grits I've had.
Time and again I try their Coffee, it is always a disappointing experience. I guess I should stop drinking their coffee?.Sandwiches are quite satisfying, however, on the small side for the price. Not a place to get great value.Good pricey eats.
- matcha latte ($5)- tomato, basil, house made ricotta toastini [acme organic whole-wheat sourdough, roma tomato, basil, california olive oil, seasoning] ($7)- jalapeño, bacon, cheese grits [hobbs bacon bits, jack cheese, pickled jalapeño, clover cream] ($8)- avocado and three cheese panini [acme organic whole-wheat sourdough, provolone, brie, cheddar, avocado slices] ($11)my top favorite item from here has gots to be their matcha latte and not only are the flavors there but the aesthetics of the drink is just *heart eyes*! something ive gotten almost every time is the tomato, basil, and house made ricotta toastini bc its so refreshing and all three items are everything i love eating too. when i came here one early morning i wanted something warm and kinda light - which is why i ended up trying the jalapeño, bacon, and cheese grits. it was my first time trying it and i wasnt too sure what to expect but it reminded me kinda like oatmeal but also mash potato? a slightly confusing texture and taste but with the jalapeños, bacon, cheese it was pretty good. might not be something id order again soon but id still order again in general. the avacado and three cheese panini was pretty good but i feel like if you're not a fan of strong cheese like brie esp melted and warm it might not be something you'd enjoy but potentially you can always switch out to some other cheese you like more of. def recommend yall stopping by and checking it out - perfect spot for catching up with friends, self care day, a date, or just cause :’)
Food quality is good, but their service is not up to the standards on the weekends. Their time management is horrible on the weekends where you have to wait up to 30 minutes to an hour for a takeout panini. Sometimes they even miss the sides to the dishes like soups and salads. Once I had to drive 20 minutes back to the store for cold soup. If you want their 100% of service, then weekdays are a better option.
Great ‘artisan’ breakfast. Toasts, grits, espresso. Loud inside but there is seating in front and a quiet patio in back.
Beautiful atmosphere and friendly workers. Lovely yet simple decor.Food is delicious and well priced for the portion sizes. I personally recommend the breakfast quesadilla.Would not recommend the coffees. Tried three on the menu and found each pretty lackluster.
One of the best cafes in Pleasanton. Wonderful food and service.
