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“

The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, while also being quick, which made the experience even better. The coffee was delicious, and while I didn't try any food this time, the homemade pastries looked amazing!“

“Super awesome place! Was traveling out of town and I got the prosciutto toast with arugula and caramelized onions, and it was great!

The best part was how awesome the staff was with my son. He wanted a mango and peach smoothie which wasn’t on the menu, and they went out of their way to help us customize it into something he would actually like and he loved it.

We’ll definitely go again.“

It was very delicious. Every time we go here we leave with a smile very great customer service and delicious drinks and food. Definitely recommend.“

“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!“

“Wonderful location, Great food And Fantastic Service!“

“It wasn't busy yet and the service was a little slow but the food was good. I wanted it to be hotter. My seat was very dirty next to me and that bothered me. And then they had live music setting up next to our table, it was a little awkward. Pretty good. Could do better.“

“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.“

“Prologue is an absolute treasure tucked inside the Walnut Creek Public Library, making it the perfect spot for book lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike. Imagine checking out a book and then cozying up with a delicious cup of coffee and a fresh pastry—it doesn’t get better than this! The highlight of my visit is their Eggspresso. It’s a creamy, velvety masterpiece that pairs the boldness of espresso with an indulgent, smooth texture. A must-try for anyone looking for a unique coffee experience. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the welcoming presence of the owner adds such a personal touch and extra layer of hospitality to the space which is rare to find. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick pick-me-up or planning to spend the afternoon reading, Prologue is the perfect place to unwind. Highly recommended!“

Wow I never thought I would like espresso with blueberry preserves on ice. And I do now.“

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

Watch out Peets and Starbucks the coffee shop is here The coffee shop servers serves delicious locally sourced coffees roasted and ground for our coffee pleasure.“

“If you enjoy good chocolate, this has to be your first stop! Belgium chocolate, a great selection , nice employees and owner.

Makes the best gifts for family and business.“

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

“Love Philz coffee. The best👍“

“I am so grateful that we finally have a late night chai/street food spot in east bay. Chai & co located at 2115 Pacheco st, Concord is a wonderful addition! We had the anda-shami royale, samosa chaat, and fresh naan khatai from khalifa (if you know, you know). All items were excellent and authentic! The space is well decorated with board games available and most importantly clean! We can’t wait to go back and work our way through the menu!“

I’m visiting for a family gathering and I’m glad I found this place after a long drive.“

“We’ve been here a few times now. My husband really enjoys the Spanish latte. I’ve tried a few different drinks and thought they were good, but my five stars go to the amazing customer service. Irene was incredibly helpful, she answered our questions, warmly greeted us, and made a point to say goodbye to customers as they were leaving. She is very welcoming. There is plenty of seating inside, and the place is clean, tidy, and comfortable.“

“We visited Ananas in downtown Walnut Creek today and had a good experience. They have sandwiches, pastries, and drinks . We enjoyed the traditional Turkish coffee. It was expensive $8 and took long time to get prepared, they were busy and seems short handed.The owner kindly brought us baklava, which was such a nice touch, place feels warm, welcoming, and authentic. Seems the prices are too high therefore might not go back .“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“Very cute new spot in Walnut Creek! Great location, friendly staff, yummy coffee :) I will be back and I definitely recommend trying it out!“

“Tasty drinks and quick service.

Came here to get away from crowded downtown WC because we couldn't find parking there for our bubble tea craving. 😅 Found this out-of-the-way location. This was a surprisingly nice shop within an updated shopping center. I've had Teaspoon before so I knew it would be decent.

We did a mobile order and the drinks were ready ahead of the scheduled pickup time. The employees were working diligently on other orders and the girl greeted me within a couple minutes or so.

The decor is inviting and cozy featuring a small library. My spouse used the restroom and said it was maintained well, clean and modern looking.

We weren't able to customize the sweetness on our drinks but they turned out fine, a bit on the sweet side. However, the boba to me was a bit overcooked on the outside of the pearls (though the chewiness inside was fine). Also, I didn't taste the honey flavor on what was supposed to be honey boba.“

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

“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!“

“Rosie's is a wonderful, small gem! We love popping in when we are passing through. We usually order the #2 Turkey, Bacon, Avocado sandiwch. The quality is superior and the flavor is worth the trip. The staff is always so friendly! We love having a nice chat with them.“

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

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

“loved it so much honestly best bakery around here. we went in just for a couple things but ended up getting way too much becuase everything looked so good. the bread was still warm when they handed it over which is kind of everything.

they got some pastries that i added to the pile and definately wasnt disapointed. didnt want to leave actually kinda sat there enjoying it for a bit too long. the people working there were super freindly even when the line got kind of long.

prices felt more than fair for what you get. im already planning when i can go back this weekend probably.“

“Got in here to this location at approximately 12:55 PM on Monday. 09/09/2024, two gentlemen working behind the counter offering great service. Had an opportunity to interact with both guys. Great service. Great job! Thank you for the great service.“

“My daughter and I got coffee here about a month ago and I haven't stopped thinking about how good the coffee was. I stopped by again today. The coffee did not disappoint. I am not sure what kind of coffee is used, but the flavor is really good. It is definitely better than starbucks or peets. The service is much better as well. This is now my go-to coffee spot.“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

“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.“

“Great first visit here, I wasn’t sure what to order and the staff were kind and patient while I figured out the drink. The drinks look and taste great and I liked how fast the service was. I’ll definitely be returning to try the seasonal drinks!“

“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.“

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

“Love their persion bread and their pastries fresh bake the ppl are very nice love the samples they put out every day“
