5 Coffee and Cake Pairings You’ll Enjoy in Pleasanton

Coffee and cake are more than just items on a menu they create an experience. In Pleasanton, where relaxed afternoons and weekend café stops are part of daily life, the combination of premium coffee and light, flavorful cakes continues to gain popularity.

At TOUS les JOURS Pleasanton, located at 3002 W Jack London Blvd, Livermore, CA 94551, we offer a wide selection of handcrafted cakes and espresso drinks. With over a dozen unique cakes and coffee options available, here are five pairings our team recommends for the best flavor balance and overall experience.

1. Iced Lavender Latte + Strawberry Cloud Cake

The Iced Lavender Latte is floral, mildly sweet, and soothing—an ideal choice for warmer Pleasanton afternoons. Paired with the Strawberry Cloud Cake, a light sponge layered with whipped cream and strawberries, this pairing feels refreshing yet indulgent.

Why it works:

The subtle floral notes of lavender highlight the berry sweetness of the cake, while the chilled drink keeps the experience light and clean.

Best enjoyed:

Outdoor café seating, post-lunch dessert, or a quiet weekend break.

2. Cafe Mocha + Choco Cloud

The richness of the Cafe Mocha, made with espresso and chocolate, is balanced perfectly with the Choco Cloud, which features airy chocolate sponge layers and a mild cream finish.

Why it works:

This pairing is for chocolate lovers who want depth without heaviness. The mocha amplifies the chocolate flavor while the cake keeps the texture light.

Best enjoyed:

 Evening dessert, after-dinner indulgence, or a treat during cool afternoons.

3. Cold Brew Tonic + Mango Cloud #3

The Cold Brew Tonic offers a crisp, citrusy lift with a bold coffee finish. It pairs beautifully with the Mango Cloud #3, which delivers tropical fruit flavors and a delicate cream structure. Why it works:  The tangy cold brew enhances the sweetness of the mango, creating a vibrant, energetic pairing that feels refreshing and balanced. Best enjoyed:  On-the-go pick-me-up, warm weekend afternoons, or after a walk around Downtown Pleasanton.

4. Cappuccino + Earl Grey Cloud

The strong espresso and creamy foam of a Cappuccino match effortlessly with the Earl Grey Cloud, a cake made with bergamot-infused tea and delicate cream layers.

Why it works:

Both the drink and the cake feature complementary bitterness and aroma, making this a sophisticated pairing for those who prefer subtle complexity over sweetness.

Best enjoyed:

 Late mornings, paired with reading or quiet conversation.

5. Iced Vanilla Latte + Blueberry Yogurt #2

A chilled Iced Vanilla Latte has just enough sweetness to complement the tart, fruity notes of the Blueberry Yogurt #2 cake. The yogurt-based cream adds a slight tang, balancing the smooth vanilla coffee profile.

Why it works: 

The tart blueberry plays off the sweet vanilla, making this pairing bright and satisfying without being overly sugary.

Best enjoyed:

As a mid-day snack or as a light finish to a summer meal.
