“Boba Guys at the San Ramon City Center had a peaceful atmosphere and was aesthetically pleasing with its minimalist interior. The kiosks were user-friendly and the customer service was excellent. The staff brought out my drink in a timely, and efficient, manner. Would definitely return.“

“Delicious Sandwiches and pastries.“

“Yummmmyyyy 😋 You can say I have an addiction at Joe’s! I love their healthy alternatives! Shots Shots Shots... !!!“

“First time here, and the outdoor area is so pretty. As soon as we walked in, it felt warm, welcoming, and cozy, the interior is really nice. Customer service is top-notch. Everyone greeted us with a smile, and even another employee who walked by made sure to say hello. We ordered a hot mocha, and it was delicious, especially the dark chocolate mocha, which I loved! We’ll definitely be back to grab a bite too.

We finally dined in and customer service was amazing, the presentation of the items we ordered looked so pretty, we tried mango crape OOOMMMGGG DELICIOUS 😋 fresh mangoes it was filled with mangoes worth every penny! The mocha looked so so so pretty!“

“We’ve been here a few times now. My husband really enjoys the Spanish latte. I’ve tried a few different drinks and thought they were good, but my five stars go to the amazing customer service. Irene was incredibly helpful, she answered our questions, warmly greeted us, and made a point to say goodbye to customers as they were leaving. She is very welcoming. There is plenty of seating inside, and the place is clean, tidy, and comfortable.“

“very excellent coffee ☕☕☕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 recommended to anyone.“

“Delicious and very cozy cafe. We had a turmeric latte and affogato which were both really good. I added honey to the latte and I think it needed pepper, and next time I might add a shot of espresso just for fun! I will definitely come back next time I’m here charging my car. The cafe is really cute and would be a great place to study and catch up with a friend. The service was really good, too. Super kind and down to earth.“

“Looks good and Tastes good!“

“I placed a mobile order for pickup and completely messed up my own order by accident. It was just one of those days. I accidentally ordered one coffee with two flavors instead of two separate coffees with one flavor each. I was honestly embarrassed when I realized what I had done, but the barista was so kind and gracious about fixing it. They were clearly SO BUSY but she didn’t make me feel bad or make a fuss about it at all. Of course I paid for the second drink and took responsibility for the mistake, but I really appreciated her patience and great customer service. I wish I had asked for her name. Thank you again!“

“It's always good to support small business. And this is such a nice place to try all different kinds of drinks. I have been visiting this place for many time for long time since my daughter shared with me. I really enjoyed the simple environment, high quality of drinks and nice service. I have tried Spanish coffee, Matcha strawberry latte and Mango shaved ice. They all taste good.
Today I entered the small shop as usual and ordered Matcha strawberry latte. After few minutes it was ready. I took picture of it and shared with my daughter. I mixed the drink and then had a couple sips. Then I looked at it and found out 2/3 of the drink is gone already and the ice exposed which almost occupied the whole cup, btw it's medium. Then I went to the young man work was working there, described what I got, pointed out that the ice should not be that much. I mentioned I had been there and ordered the same drink for many times, the ice never be that much. The young man just kept saying OK, OK, OK… mentioned he just dumped The ice like that. I told him that I just wanted to let him know that the ice level like this is not right. And I was not expecting refund Or another drink at all. I just need to let them know. Then I left.
The purpose of this review is not to blame anyone, or make any negative comments. No one can guarantee not make any mistakes or make things right all the time. While when something happened, they need to face that, realize And admit that it's not right, then try to improve it.
Again, it's always to have small businesses. And I will keep supporting small businesses as much as I can.“

“great atmosphere and a very relaxing place to get some work done or fellowship. Very accepting of everyone No judgment just great ambiance.“

“The two ladies that work here are so kind and sweet! The breakfast croissant was amazing. The latte was the best I’ve had in the area. My boyfriend and I loved this place for breakfast and we will be back again. Thank you so much for the sweet hospitality and the delicious food and coffee.“

Your satisfaction is our utmost priority. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again soon. Thanks again Mr. Dwp for the wonderful customer service. Great representative of your establishment.

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

“😋 definitely recommend. Get the vegan Potato, the apple and also the beef for sure!! Their espresso is amazing too 😊“

“I have now been to this location at least 5 times. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere cheerful, with enough seating both inside and out. I like that they have self-serve water. I keep wanting to try something new -- they have lots of options -- but every time I order the avocado smash toast, I am always so satisfied and delighted that I can't bring myself to order something else! The avocado is ALWAYS fresh and never past its prime. That must be hard to do. I appreciate their quality assurance. (I can recall from other restaurants or sandwich shops the disappointment of paying extra for avocado but getting fruit that has that weird/bad taste of old avocados.) The smash has these scrumptious little marinated cherry tomatoes and microgreens and the tiniest hint of heat from a little chili oil. Yum. A feast the the eyes, too. Toastique in Danville is a great place to have a leisurely breakfast with a friend or a post-workout snack. I also want to given a shout out to the owner who was working on June 2 for the Danville Restaurant Walk. Thank you for being so friendly and generous!“

“This place has good food, but they really do need to focus on cleaning up the area where you eat! All the tables were filled with crumbs from people eating and the floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in over a week and none of the staff seemed to care about it. They were busy on their phones instead of tidying up the place.“

“Absolutely my favorite little coffee shop. It’s ran by the most lovely brown mamas who’s loving energy radiates into everything they do. Super queer friendly and the most amazing Chipotle Sandwich and Cafe de olla around.“

“From the moment we walked in, noticed a very happy and friendly atmosphere. My girl ordered an Argentina flag smoothie and BOY DID IT TASTE AMAZING. The pineapple flavor was popping and of course the drink came out with the colors of the Argentinian flag. They do not let you walk out without saying bye and they have very helpful friendly staff!! Will be coming by any time we stop by Pleasanton 💙🔥“

“Lake Chabot is a great place to walk - shorter walks or even the 9 mile very scenic loop around the Lake starting and ending at the Marina Snack Bar/Cafe. Not much of a place to eat through very limited selection - much much less than a 7-11.“

“The donuts and the people behind the counter are fabulous! the atmosphere... not so much.
The building needs a refresh, and the inside is a bit cluttered. They store things in areas that used to be intended for guests.
I think a bit of paint and reorganization would do it a lot of good!“

“Paris Baguette was a wonderful stop. The bakery had a great selection of pastries, cakes, and drinks, and everything looked fresh and beautifully displayed. The items I tried were delicious and tasted just as good as they looked. The staff was friendly, and the shop had a clean and cozy atmosphere. A great place to grab a quick treat or sit down and enjoy a coffee and pastry.“

“I'm deeply grateful to Inklings' leadership for cancelling your partnership with The Global Leadership Network and Global Leadership Summit, in light of this organisation's ongoing choice to publicly honour their unrepentant sexual predator founder, Bill Hybels, rather than publicly, unambiguously naming and condemning his decades of sexual harassment and sexual assault. I see you standing up with and for those who have been harmed by religious predators, exactly like Jesus did. Thank you so much.“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

“The Matcha Chocolate Marble Milk Tea and Oreo Egg Puff was delicious.“

“Dog friendly! Fantastic food; outdoor dining“

“The food here is amazing and affordable! It's a great place to stop by for sandwiches, salads and tacos ☺️“

“I have been searching for a nice quality matcha cafe on this side of the Bay! I haven't had an egg sando like the one here since I went to Japan last year. If you're not into pork, make sure you indicate “no bacon” and the strawberry cream sandwich is also so good! The owner of the cafe is very sweet. Please keep in mind that she is by herself so give yourself time to get your order. The cafe is super cute and it was a nice relaxing experience.“

“Beautiful place, wonderful experience and yummy boards and treats and delicious wines and bubbles! Wonderful Owners( mom and daughter) doing things right! Beautiful location! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Like others says, it’s a hidden gem. It’s literally inside a hidden area of an office building. GPS sends you to the opposite side where the cafeteria is. You just have to enter the building and cross to the other side. Then you will get nice pastries and great coffee. My favorite was the everything bagel with cream cheese and pickled jalapeños. You can’t find that flavor anywhere in Pleasanton. I’m coming back to get more.“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“This place does not only have delicious food, the place is also very nice and clean but what stood out to me most was the Superb experience I had with Kai the young lady who served us, she was fast and friendly, Ken he was so kind and accommodating, will definitely go back over and over.“

“Absolutely fantastic, this is about as authentic as you can get it. The golubtsi taste identical to my grandma’s, and while every borscht is different, this is certainly a good one. Definitely a hidden gem and I would encourage anybody curious about eastern european cuisine to come try it.“

“The food varies day to day, but the drinks stay. If you like coffee, they have good options, if you like smoothies, they have you covered. The workers are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of tables, and comfortable chairs. A nice place to study or hangout between classes or when the cafeteria is closed.“

“After doing a 42 mile cycle we needed to refuel. We had been to nectar once before and had a good experience so back we went again This time the experience was even better while my one friend had a smoothie and the other one had a bowl and it was great and the waffle with a little avocado on unbelievable highly recommend it nice people clean and I mean clean“

“Love coming here. Great crepes and fun to have them make your latte with a photo of your choice on it. Staff always so gracious and attentive.“

“I have tried most of the flavors they have and the taste is always consistent. Highly recommend“

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.“

“Food was done quickly and it tasted amazingly delicious.“

“I was told by a neighbor who had been told by a friend that the breakfast burritos are good here. I can confirm they definitely hit the spot when you crave a decent BB. I would have given a 5 star rating but the BB was a little on the small size and might have been better with some hash browns inside. On the other hand small portions are healthier so it all makes sense.“

“I had once had their sandwich in person at their brick and mortar. The brioche was fluffy and buttery. Eggs creamy and soft. Sauce savory and sweet. Potions are generous.

It was delicious, so I ordered it for the first time on Doordash hoping for a similar experience.

It was still a good sandwich, but fell from 10/10 to 8/10. The brioche bread was burnt(blackened not just brown) instead of toasted. I had requested extra sauce and got only the standard amount.

Still a good sandwich, but execution has gotten worse since last time. Go in person next time, instead of delivery. That way you can get your order fixed if it's not done well.

Last time I went there was plenty of seating, but the vibe is very basic. The robot server was kinda annoying, I’d rather they just call my name and I go pick it up.

Go for the food and only the food, and hope they do a better job making it than mine.“

“Love their indoor/outdoor dining, healthy soups n salads, courteous n helpful staff!“

“Next time your in Pleasanton you have to stop bu here. Best breakfast I have had in a long time.“
