Let’s get right to it and comment on the coffee. WOW!! Inkling coffee just may be the best coffee I have ever had. I ordered the Carmel Bourbon Latte and my daughter ordered the Blueberry Latte which both tasted sensational. The taste remained consistent down to the last sip. The coffee shop itself was very cool with a bookstore vibe and the staff was extremely friendly. If you have not been to Inklings and you get the chance, I recommend you give them a try for yourself.

I ordered the amethyst lemonade, and fell in love with its purple color and the refreshing taste. It was too crowded when I was there, but it has a nice layout for casual gathering or remote work/study. Will try again.

Inklings should be the standard for all coffee shops. The coffee is incredible and consistent, the people are engaging, and the atmosphere can’t be beat. Not only do they serve up tasty drinks, they consistently support the community. All in all, this place is more than worth supporting!

Love this cute and unique cafe right in the middle of downtown! The chai latte was so good. They have variety of dairy-free substitutes for those with a dairy sensitivity / lactose intolerance.

This was such a cute place in downtown Pleasanton. The vibes made me want to stay their all day. I had to also order seconds of my latte. I ordered a lavender latte once and the second time I got a pumpkin cream latte. I’m glad I didn’t stay there for any longer or else I would’ve finished all their coffee for them.

Ordered a hot chocolate this afternoon. After 2 sips, I questioned myself: Did I really order a hot chocolate? Because there was very little chocolate flavor. Way too much foam on top of the beverage as well. Service was good. A nice place to visit if you like a dimly lit environment.

Excellent experience, I was acknowledged as soon as I walked in even though the line went halfway around the bar. Great coffee, pastries and food. Tried the breakfast sandwich which comes on a Salt Craft English muffin (local bakery in Pleasanton).

My favorite coffee house in Pleasanton. Very cozy feeling inside, various rooms to hang out in. Especially like being in the “presence” of C.S. Lewis, J R Tolkien, and the shelves of old books.

Christian nationalists own, operate, and hang out here. Peep all the Bible’s hidden in their book cases and the Sunday church they hold. So sad because the coffee isn’t too bad. I can’t support this business anymore. Look up the church’s values on their website and who owns Inklings if you don’t believe me.

Very cozy yet vintage at this coffee place! It has a bunch of books here, lots of tables for people to just chat or do some work here. There’s a parking lot here or you can also park on the street.
