1st Treat Yogurt - Livermore, CA


1st Treat Yogurt
2127 First St.
Livermore, CA 94550
(925) 292-4244

1st Treat has pretty good yogurt for $0.40/oz. with a fair selection of dry toppings, but only 5 fruit toppings...and kiwi is the only fresh fruit they have. The strawberries and mixed berries are frozen and peaches and pears looked like they came out of a can. Not good.



The fro-yo flavors they had the times I've been there were: chocolate, vanilla, irish mint, cheesecake, banana, plain tart, mango tart, peach and strawberry. I tried the plain and mango tart, topped with frozen strawberries, frozen mixed berries and whipped cream. It was okay, but I wouldn't have gotten it had I known the fruit wasn't fresh. I do like the banana with just a touch of chocolate (alone, it's too sweet for me) and topped with Reese's peanut butter cups and peanut butter chips.



They also have whipped cream (it weighs nothing so it's easy on the pocketbook, too) in the door of the stainless fridge where the fruit toppings are. They're the only fro-yo in Livermore besides TCBY...and, um...Costco's food court.



Too bad they didn't stay open a little later...they close at 9pm (10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.) Another thing...I just discovered on their website that they offer a "punch card" where you buy 9 and get the 10th one free. We've been there numerous times and no one ever offered us one. Boo.

First Street Ale House - Livermore, CA


First Street Ale House
2086 First St.
Livermore, CA 94550

The small outdoor patio at First Street Ale House is almost always packed during dinner hours and with good reason - a large selection of ales, great service and reasonably priced good food. I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband enjoyed the Pyramid Apricot. We shared a mushroom-swiss burger, garden salad, crumbled bleu cheese burger and garlic fries...and the garlic fries were awesome!



Here's the scoop on their specials:

- Happy Hour is M-F from 4-6 (Tuesday all day) and it's $1 off all pints
- Pint Night Thursday is $5.25/first pint, $3.25/refills and you keep the glass (the sign said "Gordon Biersch Marzen or Hefeweizen")
