Cool cafe in Alamo we stopped by for the first time. The customer service is great and cozy inside and outside seating. Coffee was really good. The kids liked the pastries. They offer lavender syrup added to the coffee and it was good. If you are in the area looking for coffee stop by Lever.

There is definitely a shortage of cute coffee shops with good coffee as well in the area so I was happy to have found Lever. I was pleased to see great gluten free and vegan pastry options and the coffee was fantastic. The shop itself is cute and the service is great. The barista was super friendly and made our drinks to perfection, so much so that we went for a second round.

I had a hot and an iced latte while working from Lever for a couple of hours. They were great. The staff were also very friendly.

Just heads up - (non-service) dogs seem to be allowed inside the cafe and to wander around. I was a bit surprised because I thought that at places that served food, dogs could only be outside/on patio for the health code, but assume they have worked that aspect out somehow? For me, it was something I'd have wanted to know about ahead of time in case so suggest they more clearly label that since it's pretty unique aspect of the cafe. Nice, friendly atmosphere of the place.

Finding this place was a bit tricky, they are a little tucked away, and parking is very limited, mainly because their neighbors have signs pisted not to park in their spaces! We parked across the street and walked. Lever coffee shop feels like I walked into the Pacific Northwest! It's quaint, eclectic, warm and inviting. I ordered a hot mocha, it was delicious but I expected more coffee as the servings are small for my liking. It's a place with personality and I'm digging it. Check it out guys!

One of my favorite spots in the East Bay. Definition of cozy coffee shop in the burbs. Relaxed atmosphere, always busy with people and chatter, it's incredible.Service is always top notch and staff is incredibly kind and attentive. Embrace the iced coffee vibes here and go with the Iron Horse Iced Coffee. It's amazing.If you're feeling an extra kick, add a cold brew cube. ?

Like the morning bum and cheddar bacon scones. Hemee hot chocolate was good but a little too sweet for my liking. The creek running by fills the environment with peace and sense of serenity.
Live up the street! Heard great things about this place a friend recommended and said she loves the vibe and brings her work here. Conveniently located off the freeway and most importantly great coffee!

Pastries and coffee are great!! Normally, staff is very friendly.However, today, 12/17/23, was the worst service we received.Got 3 lattes, 3 pastries, which I told that I didn't need heated up. I get my coffees and no pastries so I just let Esa(? - the assistant manager) know and she said its coming, its in the oven. So I just commented "oh I didn;t need it heated, but ok". That comment seemed to have annoyed her for some reason. She just had a "look" on her face. So I wait and she finally hands me the pastries and they are the wrong ones. I tell the other person (blond lady with her hair up) and they finally figure out it's the wrong order. Esa goes and bags mine up and kind of throws it on the counter. No "sorry about that", "thanks for waiting". I notice one of the bags is wet and dripping from maybe where she had laid it. So i ask if I can get a new bag and she doesn't say anything, dumps my pastry on the counter, gets a new bag and she grabs a tong to re-bag it, but decides I am not worth that service and just hands me the bag to put the pastry in the bag myself.While she was getting the new bag, she makes a face at her blond coworker...how do I know even though Esa's back is to me? Because the blonde lady smirks. I've never had such a bad service here before. Whenever, I go, everyone is super friendly and cheerful. But this morning, pretty much all the ladies working, even the curly hair lady had some attitude. The young lady at the register was fine...she seemed new.Unbelievable and almost feel like there was a racists undertone as they were all caucasian and I was among only 2 asians in there and our orders were the ones they got wrong. After i left, I was so mad, I called to ask for a manager, the lady answering said he's not in yet. I ask for the name of the barista who was wearing the black cardigan and the jeans, and she asks "Why?". I tell her because of the poor service I received this morning that I wanted to discuss with the manager. She then lets me know that it was her and she's the assistant manager, Esa (?). I was shocked to learn she was the assistant manager??!! I asked her why she was so rude to me, what did I do to warrant such service and all she said was "Sorry". Someone needs to go back to training on customer service. It's too bad, I live in San Ramon we would go out our way to come to Lever for the ambiance, friendly service and the yummy coffee and pastries. Very disappointing.
