50 Best Coffee Shops near Clayton

“This place rocks. They totally nailed it. Amazing selection of ice cream, froyo, other treats, as well as the best selection of coffee around here. They even have a flat white on the menu. Decor is original, fun and impressive. Really cool hand painted artwork and neon.“

“Moved out of town and was just thinking about this place. One of the few things I miss from California. Best lattes especially their chai lattes oh just amazing!“

“No matter how crazy the morning rush gets, the team at this location keep their cool and get it done! Mary rocks her setup no matter where she is, and the entire team remains as sweet as their pastries when people act like bitter shots. I could hit a drive thru, but then I wouldn't get the personable touch they throw in with every visitor. This location rocks!“

“Friendly staff. Quick service. Keto options. Study spot. Quick bite. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Bathrooms available. Popular with locals. Mix of families with kids, seniors, High school students, and occasionally remote workers.Usually packed between 11am- 5pm pre-pandemic. Now it’s fairly empty. Ideal for studying or working away from home. Been frequenting this location for years. WiFi is fast and reliable. The plugs underneath the long middle table in the center don’t work.COVID update: dining in requires proof of vaccination or negative COVID test (within last 72hrs). A picture or screenshot of your vax card or negative test results paired with ID is all you need. Simple and easy.Recommended drinks: Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew for a study boost/pick me up and London Fog (tea of choice and milk) for a warm low calorie treat (also tastes great with pumps of sugar free vanilla) ~ ❄️☕️?Instead of paying it forward by paying for the next person behind you. Try tipping your barista instead. Makes a bigger difference~Updated: 10/21/21“

“Love love, love love love this place cannot say enough good things. All the patrons are fantastic and at night they have an incredible next level dancing Friday night house music come join. I have been getting down proper and would love to dance with more folk holy cow it’s on tonight by the way Happy Valentines.“

“Great coffee and great people! Service today was exceptional. Loved my Iced Lavender Latte with cold foam. My baby is very picky about his banana bread but ate the entire thing. I sat out in the sun while I waited, couldn’t have been better.“

“Wonderful location, Great food And Fantastic Service!“

“Got a Turkish coffee and it did not disappointed. Slower brewed coffee is always the best, made with love and care. Super fresh and super flavorful. Cardamom in coffee is just chef’s kiss, always. Got a chocolate croissant that I devoured in seconds.“

“Always wanted to go to Lever. I work right near here, and I came here on New Year’s Eve.

It is a very cute coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be difficult as it is small and tight, but there is parking in the back.

The coffee was great here. Their lavender ice latte was amazing. I believe they are known for their syrups, and I also got to try their orange rosemary syrup. It was unique, but I think the safe bet is to go with the lavender syrup.

It can get very packed here, and they seem to have a smaller staff. Things could move slow, but be patient as it is worth the wait.

Parking: Limited space so look for parking outside the lot or in the back“

“My husband and I have been customers since 2013 and now we've become good friends with the owners. The bagels are made fresh daily and always hits the spot for us. Service is wonderful, it's a must go to whenever our family is visiting in town.“

“It’s always a lovely time at Tellus coffee! The creative and delicious food and drinks, warm and inviting ambiance (that plant wall just makes me happy) and the super-kind and efficient baristas are the best! Thanks to owner Janae for all her hard work making Tellus a Walnut Creek fave!“

“Best espresso and coffee ☕️ in town!“

“I attended an event at Aracely lounge last week and was blown away, not only by the beautiful ambience, but also the warm hospitality, and incredible food. I think it was the best avocado toast I've ever had in my life. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Highly recommended. I can't wait to go back!!!“

“The drinks were absolutely beautiful with wonderful flavor profiles. The overnight oats hit the spot and started my day off right. The chicken banh mi sandwich was a joy in every bite. The service was quick and everything was served with a smile. This place is a wonderful prologue to your day.“

“Yes, the chocolates are decadent and delicious, but to me the real star here are the mochas. Rather than using syrup or powder, they melt actual, high-quality chocolate chips into steamed milk and add espresso. It is hands down the best mocha I’ve had anywhere. Soy, almond, and oat milk are available if you don’t do cow juice. Pro tip: they use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips, but if you prefer all one or the other, just ask. The only problem with them is that you’ll be ruined forever and no other mocha will suffice. Treat yo self!“

“Excellent concept well executed; super fresh juices and smoothies . Love the idea of happy hour for alcoholic drinks. A couple of suggestions-1. Music (vibe) with a speaker outside? 2. Loyalty/frequency program. Today was my first time; will definitely be back.“

“I recently discovered I have Celiac. It’s so special to meet people that speak my new language and make incredible food that I can safely enjoy!

The food is amazing and delicious!

I’ll be back next week!! 😋“

“Enjoyed the peanut butter banana smoothie at the Coffee Shop in Alamo the day before my fast. The balance of flavors was superb—smooth, rich, and satisfying. A reminder that simple pleasures, when crafted well, can offer great contentment. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“Great service, all around great Coffee , will be coming back , Thanks for everything.“

“Always a pleasant experience and fresh selection. And they still make an authentic Glazed Old Fashioned with a donut skirt instead of just drizzling glaze on a donut. Hot coffee to go and usually a few old timer Regulars at the patio table and chairs to wish you a Good Morning!“

“Have been coming here for years, I looove this place so much. They have the best drinks! My favorite is the lavender latte but I look forward to their speciality drinks- the orange, cardamom latte was so good and the Dubai mocha is heavenly. The drinks here have a way of staying with you so you look forward to getting them again. The ambiance of the shop is cool and they have a neat point system where they can just look you up by name and you can collect free drinks and they don’t seem to ever expire which is such an awesome treat when you’ve earned one!“

“there is a daily question on the wall board and the fun is composing answers and reading what others have written…“

“Very friendly local vegan spot. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend! 😋“

“If your looking for a local coffee shop this is the stop for you! Dennis provides great customer service in a clean and inviting cafe! Try it and you won’t regret it! Affogato is delicious and will help you get the pick up you need. Check it out!“

“Right on my way from SRVHS to my office at #remaxaccorddanville“

“Best Chinese food in Contra Costa County. Totally Authentic Sezchuan style. A must try for anyone who loves great flavors.“

“My kiddos and I love this location. Staff members are friendly, place is clean and welcoming but best of all the boba is fresh and tasty. I love the match with the strawberry jam. Wish they had strawberry cold foam, but other than that this place is perfect!“

“This is a review about the Starbucks on 2292 N. Main in Walnut Creek. This is the best Starbucks I have ever been to and it’s thanks to its atmosphere and friendly people working there. I would like to acknowledge Alejandro, June, Josephine, my Italian friend and many others because everyone there is just friendly and fun and hard working! You guys are the best and I think you should be rewarded by your company because they don’t know how lucky they are having you on board! Thank you for always being prompt and kind and very welcoming. I love to order my food and drinks at this location and you make my day! Thank you for making my trips for coffee very special! Best regards, Margherita ❤️“

“Good Sunday morning place“

“Love Philz coffee. The best👍“

“They make a very good mocha.

It's IMPORTANT you don't miss experiencing one of their PECAN CHEWY bars. How they take 10 ingredients and make them into something this good, that tastes like a European pastry is mind blowing. It tastes also very clean. This is excellent with all kinds of coffee. Lattes, mochas, black, all types of coffees go deliciously well with PECAN CHEWYs.

I have been hospitalized for 6 weeks. And Mocha Mocha has been one of my highlights.

Mocha Mocha is a blessing at John Muir Hospital - Walnut Creek. Their coffee being available from Morning to Evening is huge and I hope as many people buy coffee, as they talk about how grateful they are to have MOCHA MOCHA (at 10:30 in the evening or at 5:00 in the morning) when they are tired here in the hospital before beginning their shift.

I wish MOCHA MOCHA could make deliveries to patients trapped in their rooms because they cannot move and family members are not coming in time for morning coffee. Because the coffee on the floors is terrible instant coffee.“

“The chicken fried chicken steak is so good 😋. I wanna have the eggs Benedict too.“

“The best senorita breads. Hot and fresh, straight from the oven everytime! Great choice of pastries, all amazing. Coffees are better than major brand coffee shops. Very affordable prices!!! The staff are very friendly people. Love ❤️ this location and Brentwood location.“

“Great coffee simply the best“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

“Barista is so slow. We got our orders late. Been waiting for a while.“

“I come here every Friday Saturday and Sunday for my patient and we get the same order every time. I have to show them the order and not recited verbally because the patient is very particular on her drink.

But what's cool is that even though the workers know that I'm going to show them the order every Friday Saturday and Sunday they treat me as if it's totally fine, and I don't know what I'm going to order but they do know what I'm going to order if this makes any sense. It makes the patient feel like they're taking her drink seriously not just assuming what she wants even if she gets the same thing every day.

So thank you nice Starbucks people of downtown Walnut Creek you do her drink very well. We used to go to two different Starbucks in Walnut Creek and they would get it wrong.“

“Very friendly local vegan spot. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend! 😋“

“personal touches small business love💜🧡❤🙏“

“Todo El Pan!!! I am glad they are open again. Brings back memories of when I was growing up“

“I had the most delicious mocha EVER!!! Now, what made my mocha special is that the young lady added 2 decaffeinated expresso shots to my mocha, which made my day. And they do sell other stuff like sandwiches, chips and etc. So don't like the name for ya. Thank you for reading my review. :-)“

“Love the staff, love my tea, sure is bright with all the Christmas attire. 🎄🎄🎄“

“Sunshine is better if you want heartier stuff, but if you want a light breakfast/lunch and nice coffee this is better. The staff is very nice. Parking can be dicey at peak hours but that isn't their fault.

Parking: 7 parking spots off to the side, otherwise parking is reserved/hard to squeeze through

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible sidewalk, no stairs“

“Convenient! And they had what I wanted.“

“Love this location for it's accessibility and variety“

“Tristyn has worked so hard to accomplish this dream of honoring her mother and to continue the battle against breast cancer. There is truly Love in every cup.“

“Whoever the lady was working August 3 2023 at about 1:30 PM. Give her a raise or a promotion !! she was so kind and patient with me. She wanted to make sure I left satisfied I appreciate people like her! She was really really kind and sweet ❣️“

“Reminds me so much of the good ‘ol days of QUICKLY’s. Whenever I’m home in Concord, I always go here for their best tasting ever so popular Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken and my all time favorite Avocado smoothie!🥑 Unfortunately, their price went high since the last time I was here tho :( But regardless, the place looks spacious and family friendly and still serve the snacks we all grown to love! I so wish they would include BASIL LEAVES while frying their chicken😭🍃“
