Grounded Coffee

Adriana Perez

The breakfast oats was fantastic! Supper flavorful and worth the hype. My gingerbread Cofee needed some work. I ordered the 16 ounce and my cup was not filled. Nor was it hot. And I added a pack of sugar because it needed more sweetness. Not my favorite. The location is cute, they sell clothes and the brand looked great. Nice little spot and attentive service. I will absolutely come back! Because The cookies looked great, and I did not try them. Thanks 😊

Great cold brew Vietnamese iced coffee. Breakfast sando great flavor with the gooey cheese and tomato and bread was crispy yet soft on the inside. Oats was flavorful and delicious yet filling. Thin mint foam coffee was creamy and delectable. Ambiance was great and modern with art aesthetic and combined with live plants yet cute stuffed animal vibe. Has board games and books for children as well.

I found this delightful Coffee Shop through a good friend, and boy did it not disappoint! We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning, and it was quiet at opening time. The staff were lovely and helpful with giving suggestions about the menu. The coffee and food were delicious, and the shop clean and inviting. An added bonus was the game shelf which had different fun games to play with friends while enjoying your drink. I highly recommend making a stop at this coffee shop!

The coffee here is wonderful and the arrabbiata toast is superb! The ambience is really nice with a great soundtrack and lots of great art. Definitely recommend this place.

Amazing service, great food, and incredible coffee. Grounded sources coffee from all over the world, and it shows in the flavor. Easily one of my favorite spots to visit when I’m nearby.

Great local coffee shop - we ordered the chai, cold brew, and a lemonade. Cold brew and lemonade were both exceptional, however the chai felt a bit milky in my experience. Apply Pay was not working when we went in, so we had to place an order online.

Fan of a good latte, and good customer service- which I get both here. I travel for work and like to find a good coffee shop to be my “go to” while I’m in town. I appreciate the atmosphere, staff, and the lattes. I love the lavender honey and the brown sugar latte- both are delightful. I also really enjoy their coffee sleeves- couple of pics for fun.

Tried this place for the first time for a quick lunch. Ordered the smoked salmon and labne croissant sandwich (pictured) as well as the honey lavender latte. The sandwich was made with very fresh ingredients and the salmon was very tasty. The latte was very refreshing as well.

Coffee is really good. Nice food options to choose from. Good portion size. Nice friendly service.

Katherine Dice

Cute, local and fantastic. We had a regular latte and a toasted marshmallow latte with oatmilk. Perfect! The berry Danish is absolutely to die for. Fresh berries and real cheese filling. So good! The breakfast sandwich has so much flavor, very filling. The rest of the menu looks incredible. The prices are very reasonable. Lots of seating inside, charging stations for phones or laptops. Outdoor seating where it is dog friendly. We highly recommend and will definitely be back.

I went to Grounded with my two sons for our yearly fancy coffee outing. My sons had the Yasin roast pour-over coffee described by the barista as creamy. It was an experience in itself for my sons to watch the pour over coffee made. The coffee paired well with both the almond and cherry Danishes which were toasted to crispy perfection before being served. There was easily accessible half and half, brown and granulated sugars, stevia, simple syrup, and cinnamon to customize your drink with. My younger son put a lot of sugar and cream in, and despite it being too sweet for me, it was just right for him. This place is great for coffee and pastries, and there were also cool cookies and two other coffee roasts we're excited to try in the future. I highly recommend this place! It was so worthy of our yearly fancy coffee.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Experience at Grounded – Livermore, CA Grounded in Livermore is hands down one of the best café experiences in the Tri-Valley. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, modern, and welcoming — the perfect spot for a relaxed breakfast meeting or a casual morning with family. The Burrata Toast is exceptional. The burrata is incredibly fresh and creamy, perfectly balanced with bright, flavorful toppings and crisp artisan bread. Every bite feels thoughtfully crafted — rich, yet light and refreshing. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after you leave. The Strawberry Croissant is pure perfection. Flaky, buttery layers with just the right amount of sweetness, paired with fresh strawberries that taste vibrant and in season. It’s indulgent without being overly sweet — beautifully executed. And the Veggie Sandwich? Outstanding. Fresh, crisp vegetables layered generously with flavorful spreads on perfectly toasted bread. It’s hearty, satisfying, and proves you don’t need meat to have a bold, delicious sandwich. Everything tastes fresh, high quality, and made with care. The presentation is beautiful, the ingredients are top tier, and the service is friendly and efficient. Grounded is truly a gem in Livermore — highly recommend for anyone looking for elevated café food done right. We’ll absolutely be back!

I was in the area for work and stopped by to try their coffee. Really great options of drinks and I love that they aren’t overly sweet and you can still taste the coffee. They also have a wide array of alt milk options. I got the Honey Latte which was the monthly special - delish! Everyone is also so nice and friendly, their system acting up with receipts and they handled it well and made sure I got what I needed for my expense report. So delightful I visited both days I was working!

My first time here and the service was fantastic! The young lady explained the Vietnamese coffee I was interested in, and was thoughtful enough to make suggestions to make sure I would enjoy it. The savory oatmeal was so delicious, rich, creamy, savory, spicy and satisfying. The facilities were clean and maintained, and everyone working was pleasant and helpful. I can't wait to come back!

The coffee was very good and the owner shows pride in his business, and excellent service! On the way to Thanksgiving dinner at our family’s house out of town we had to make an emergency stop, but only after pulling in and walking to the door did we realize our mistake. They were closed and the person we saw inside turned out to be the owner. They were closed of course for the holiday but he graciously let my 95 year old father use his restroom and even offered some cold brew that definitely hit the spot. I don’t see a “Starbucks” doing the same and we greatly appreciated the service coffee and understanding. 10/10 recommend

Tried my go-to large regular latte and was very impressed with what I got. It was not watered down, the taste wasn’t sour or burnt. With 4 shots of espresso latte was velvety and smooth.

Absolute gem. Great coffee, good food, staff are friendly and the shop has a lot of amenities (phone chargers? Kids puzzles?)

Cool place for solo customers or to hang out with others. The savory oatmeal and kimchi sandwich were tasty, and coffee selection was good 💯. They have a few board games, one table was playing chess.

Best coffee I've ever had! Morgan, Holly and Wren went above and beyond to make sure I had a good cup of coffee. Excellent customer service. their friendly and warm hearted approach made my day :) thank you!!

I came here for an Americano for my partner and ended up getting a matcha latte and cookie as well! The aesthetic was super clean and nice and efficient. The customer service was fantastic! They gave me recommendations that turned out delicious! My partner also really enjoyed his Americano! The salted chocolate chip cookie was also super yummy and uniquely shaped:) we were just passing through so it was super cool to see regulars come in and interact with staff. Everyone who entered got a “Good Morning!” Highly recommend:)

Helpful friendly staff make this place great. Coffee is exceptional. I drop the food down a knotch because we visited with friends and it would have been nice if there were a few more pastrie selections, but it is really about the coffee.

Very well-run and welcoming. Interior is very tidy and clean. One seating counter has Lightning and Micro USB charge cables. Staff are friendly and professional, welcoming customers even close to closing time. It is clear a lot of effort is being put into this business. There is a little night sky dome in the ceiling, a nice aesthetic touch. Just one area for improvement from this customer's point of view: a couple of vegan pastries would be a good addition to the menu.

Good local coffee place, however the latte wasn't that great, and the price for bruschetta of 14$ for a single piece it, honestly felt a bit more pricy. Apart from the price and latte, the local interiors of the place is pretty good. The surprise part of the store is the roof which has a pretty cool milky way design. Edit: Suggestions for the coffee: Latte could be more hot and increasing the espresso quantity would be great or reducing the milk portion. As it felt more milky taste than the coffee for latte. Food Suggestion: Pricing needs to be adjusted, as a single slice bruschetta costing 14$ is on a expensive side. Maybe provide 2 slices or adjust friendly pricing to increase sales.

Utterly disappointed with both the food & service. We were on 580, looking for a coffee spot that wasn’t a Starbucks; we tried to support a local business and we chose the wrong one. Their “fresh bagels” were hard as a rock; when I asked if they get their bagels locally, they replied “yes they’re from Bobs bagels”. Never heard of them to be honest but I kept an open mind. There was a reason they asked multiple times if I wanted the bagel toasted; it was sitting there at least 36-48 hours. Impossible to tear apart and just tasted bad. The lattes were not much better; very bitter coffee, difficult to drink even with sweeteners & milk. Service was very slow on top of everything. Yes they have a sign that says “breakfast items are made to order, please be patient”. Thing is you’re a stones throw away from the I-580 intersection and plenty of people are pressed for time. When you only have TWO employees working (one of them always in the back prepping food orders), those of us ordering coffee and a ready-made pastry to go, have to wait forever. Not the smartest setup if they’re looking for repeat business. There’s potential here though, if they decide to correct a few things starting with their coffee.
