“Best super premium coffee beans in California, not just the Bay Area, not just Danville. Fresh, perfectly roasted, rare single origin beans. I religiously buy their Tanzanian peaberry and Panama Highlands Catuai. Can’t go anywhere else.

Plus Ida, the owner, is super nice. She remembers my wife and kids names and always gives us a free coffee when we buy the premium beans.

Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful location, Great food And Fantastic Service!“

“I placed a mobile order for pickup and completely messed up my own order by accident. It was just one of those days. I accidentally ordered one coffee with two flavors instead of two separate coffees with one flavor each. I was honestly embarrassed when I realized what I had done, but the barista was so kind and gracious about fixing it. They were clearly SO BUSY but she didn’t make me feel bad or make a fuss about it at all. Of course I paid for the second drink and took responsibility for the mistake, but I really appreciated her patience and great customer service. I wish I had asked for her name. Thank you again!“

“We had the best experience this morning apart from this Boba place being our favorite in town we got a great surprise from the owner who gave us a free waffle this morning nice and fresh for us to try as it was something that we haven’t tried on the menu. 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 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.“

“Best espresso and coffee ☕️ in town!“

“You couldn't find a better coffee shop - the baristas are so kind, helpful and friendly. The coffee is the best we ever had and latte drinks perfect, rich, and soothing. Every bite of baked goods is delicious - the best chocolate croissant ever (including Paris) The avocado toast made with focaccia bread is so delicious - Lever is a little piece of heaven in a crazy world. Love the ambiance too. Parking can be difficult, but you can always park at Safeway shopping center and easily walk across the street! It truly is such a treat in our day.“

“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!“

“I have now been to this location at least 5 times. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere cheerful, with enough seating both inside and out. I like that they have self-serve water. I keep wanting to try something new -- they have lots of options -- but every time I order the avocado smash toast, I am always so satisfied and delighted that I can't bring myself to order something else! The avocado is ALWAYS fresh and never past its prime. That must be hard to do. I appreciate their quality assurance. (I can recall from other restaurants or sandwich shops the disappointment of paying extra for avocado but getting fruit that has that weird/bad taste of old avocados.) The smash has these scrumptious little marinated cherry tomatoes and microgreens and the tiniest hint of heat from a little chili oil. Yum. A feast the the eyes, too. Toastique in Danville is a great place to have a leisurely breakfast with a friend or a post-workout snack. I also want to given a shout out to the owner who was working on June 2 for the Danville Restaurant Walk. Thank you for being so friendly and generous!“

“If you enjoy good chocolate, this has to be your first stop! Belgium chocolate, a great selection , nice employees and owner. Grab a coffee and shortbread, or better yet, an espresso and chocolate (Louise and marron are favs) to enjoy at the bistro tables in front of the shop in cute downtown Walnut Creek. Makes the best gifts for family and business.“

“Good Sunday morning place“

“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!“

“Everyone working is super friendly and kind. The coffee was very well prepared, espresso was rich and smooth at the same time. I personally like strong espresso and this one hit the spot. Definitely recommend checking this spot out and will definitely come back for more“

“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!! 😋“

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

“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 .“

“This is what a coffee shop should be. Amazing espresso, affordable prices, and the kindest mom-and-pop service that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. It’s cozy, genuine, and a reminder of why supporting small businesses matters. Choose this place over Starbucks every time.“

“personal touches small business love💜🧡❤🙏“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Love Philz coffee. The best👍“

“I Love love love this new drive-by coffee shop. The totally cool coffee shop in Walnut Creek is now easily accessible to the San Ramon Valley coffee fanatics. Many owners have tried to run this location and I'm so glad to have a quality coffee shop there now. 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.“

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

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I like the atmosphere here & the honey badger & lavender latte coffee is yummy! This place & the people definitely make my mornings better. I always feel welcomed here, thanks y'all ☕️😃🙌🏼.

Dont forget to try the chocolate covered coffee beans 🫘☕️😋.“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

“The best bakery in the Antioch/Pittsburg area. I always come for the best veggie eggrolls and starbread. These eggroll are always fresh and hot if you place an order. The line is always out the door when I arrive. So my recommendation is to call your order in and pick it up. Great service everytime I arrive.“

“What a gem! Found this cute cafe on Google Maps bc of the great reviews, and they were not wrong! My BLT was outstanding, great latte to go with it, and the owner Leon was so kind and kept me entertained while I waited 😊 11/10 for atmosphere and taste!“

“Kevin is an amazing barista at Starbucks who truly knows his way around the espresso machine. Every drink he makes comes out perfectly crafted, and his matcha is honestly next level. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and his friendly attitude makes the whole experience even better. If Kevin’s on shift, you know your drink is going to be spot on.“

“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.“

“This Starbucks location is always the cleanest, and I truly love coming here.
The atmosphere is welcoming and well maintained.
I’m a regular customer, and one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is Nina. She is incredibly kind, always welcoming, and genuinely makes my day better every time I come in. Her positive attitude and great service make this place even more special.
Keep going!“

“The only Starbucks that I've found that actually has mugs available! Although now I can see why they generally don't advertise it, lol. But that's ok, I don't think anyone comes to Starbucks for their artisnal abilities. The coffee tasted just like it always does (but slightly better because it was in a mug).“

“Great coffee simply the best“

“Its a family run cafe that is quiet and feels so chill and local. Very nice decorations and clean. I liked the hand written board. I felt the prices were perfectly reasonable and I was able to get some work done and find a seat without issue. Ill be back for sure“

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

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

“Always love Dutch Bros., but I really liked this one in particular today. I must have misunderstood what the lady was asking me when I thought I ordered a hot coffee. When I got to the front of the line, the guy repeated my order as a frozen drink instead of a hot coffee. I then realized my mistake, and the guy goes “no worries! We will make you a hot one on the fly”. Dude then asked how my day was going, what my plans for the day was, etc. Just that extra step of friendliness and customer service goes a long way.“

“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.“
