Restaurants in Danville

“A hidden gem. Was introduced to this quaint oasis by friends. Since then, it has become one of my favorite haunts. The owner is extremely courteous, very generous and hospitable. We started by going there for dinner but on one occasion wanted to celebrate a friend’s birthday for lunch and needed and requested an extended and uninterrupted experience. So we were allowed to stay on beyond the 2:30 pm shut down before dinner in a very cosy and welcoming setting. The host was most attentive when needed but did not try to rush our ordering of lunch menu selections and even suggested to try some new dishes on the menu. I take all my special guests to the bungalow on rose for an exquisite dining experience.”

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu”

“Great food!”

“Amazing food! Great flavors!”

“Came here for a casual meal and watch some World Cup. Good options for game viewing inside and outside. Service was prompt and friendly. We tried a little bit of everything, a slice, salad, lasagna and meat balls and liked all of the items. I would definitely return and recommend to others.”

“Very friendly owners. Brazilian pour over Iced Coffee was delicious.”

“It was our first time at The Melt, and Luis made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. He helped us choose what to try, and his recommendations were on point. The Meltburger was juicy and full of flavor, the Mac Daddy was crazy good, and the Three Cheese Classic tasted like real comfort food. Luis checked in on us, made sure everything came out hot, and you could tell he really cares about the guest experience. Because of him, our first visit turned into a new favorite spot.”

“Truth be told I would rate it 4.6 stars cause it’s pricey, but with anything you order they give you a very generous amount of food and a balanced healthy and good meal. I felt like I had to write a review because the customer service was fire. I ordered, they gave me complimentary pita bread for the Muhammara I ordered in addition to my kebab plate which came with a good portion of chicken, vegetables, rice, and hummus. Also gave me Turkish coffee and then extra sauce while I was waiting for no extra charge. Customer service was on top. Especially that dude Shaheen who took my order he did all that stuff I’m talking abt and was so nice the whole way through and answered every question no problem they gotta give that man a raise he doing a great job he bringing in business. They had some jazz playing in the background so the atmosphere was vibey. Overall great experience despite the price.”

“Si buscas una experiencia auténtica de la cocina mexicana, no puedes dejar de visitar **Cielito** en Denville, California. Este restaurante se destaca por ofrecer una variedad de platillos mexicanos elaborados con ingredientes de la más alta calidad. Además, el servicio es excepcional, lo que hace que cada visita sea especial. Y no olvides probar su selección de bebidas, ¡son simplemente deliciosas! Sin duda, un lugar que vale la pena conocer. ¡Espero que lo disfruten!”

“Wonderful experience! We do not have gelato in Iowa. .”

“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!”

“It is a very clean environment and the food is amazing every time I come here. The service is quick and is presented really well. Definitely recommend this place!!”

“Cool spot. Forgot to take pics. Food experience was unique and well executed. Seating is tough to find sometimes but nice chill vibe is the Bay area. Coffee and Turkish breakfast are great!”

“recently dined-in again and had a wonderful experience, their pizza is always delicious and super fresh and the customer service is superb even from the newer employee Sreya. AJ and Mohammed were super friendly as always, efficient and quick, and made my dinner a highly enjoyable experience!!”

“We had our end of season party here for my daughter's softball team. The staff was attentive and the food was great! We would definitely have our party here again!”

“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.”

“Great place to meet and grab a drink 🍸”

“The food was amazing: fresh and tasty hummus, crispy fries, amazing gyros, and very clean inside. This place should get more patronage from Danville folks. Support your small businesses and enjoy!”

“My boyfriend and I always come here when we’re craving for something delicious and healthy. I order the same thing every time because it’s so good. 😅 The Salmon with Quinoa is my favorite! I should try something else next time because my bf have tried a few different ones and he always end up liking it. I also love the chocolate chip cookie! Wish they sell a pack of 12 😂”

“Delicious crepes, fun thai flavors, service with a big smile. They also have gluten free crepe options so everyone in our party was able to enjoy and even have a crepe for the first time! Wonderful place.”

“deliciousness the cookie's cakes pastries and chocolate covered strawberries need I say more 😋🎯😉”

“Excellent food. Made from scratch”

“I recommend the pancakes.great people .Great conversations with the owners.if you eat here you will not leave hungry”

“We got catering for a birthday party and it was a hit! The staff was organized and beyond kind, they made everything so easy, and the food was delicious! Everyone loved it!”

“Had a lovely evening at The Barnyard! Service was the best and our server chose the most delicious wines for my custom wine flight. My friend had the sparkling flight and really enjoyed it. We shared an excellent charcuterie board and buratta. Will definitely return.”

“Great service and good food and over 4000 beers”

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.”

“Delicious food. Staff are so friendly. Place is neat and clean.”

“Tastiest, freshest pizza I have found since leaving the East coast! Absolutely delicious garlic pizza with white sauce & a perfect crust. Traditional and Indian craft pizzas. Alfredo sauce was homemade and delicious!”

“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!”

“I recently visited Crush’d and had such a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to share. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable evening.

The cocktails are absolutely outstanding—creative, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The food is just as impressive, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. It’s clear that a lot of thought goes into both the menu and the overall experience.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff particularly Casey consistently goes above and beyond to provide personalized attention, making each visit feel special. They remember preferences, offer thoughtful recommendations, and genuinely make you feel valued as a guest.

It’s rare to find a place that excels in every aspect—drinks, food, and service—but this wine bar does exactly that. I always look forward to coming back.”

“As a person with celiac’s disease and other food allergies I appreciate that bread is only served if requested. I had the filet and it was great. The staff is knowledgeable about food allergies and cross contamination. We will be adding this restaurant to the small list of places that are allergy friendly in the bay area.”

“Very good Chinese food, drinks, service. Probably the best fried rice I have ever had. Portions are large. Prices are high but about what you would expect in Danville.”

“Thank you Evie and all the staff for making our boys grad night dinner so special!! If you have not tried this place out you need too!! Amazing suchi and yummy Tao Tacos!!”

“Recommend! That said, it is FOOTBALL SUNDAY 🏈 and your taps are DRY for HenHouse, Altamount Maui, and SpaceDust? Come on boys!!! Pass for today but will be back!!”

“Last Friday evening our party of 8 celebrated a warm and jubilant birthday, early Father’s Day party. From our arrival to our leaving the entire staff greeted us like family. All of our appetizers, Sushi-Rolls, were delicious! We all loved our Entrees-our seafood was expertly prepared!
Blue Sakana is “Our Special Place”…”

“We got there in time for Happy Hour. The service was outstanding. Our server named Lumbi was attentive, super nice and took care of my family (plus our dog) so well. She brought out our food quickly, drinks refills quickly and our food came out flawlessly.

The prices compared to Irvine (where we are from) is very affordable!! The fish was fresh and the avocado roll was to die for. Not traditional sushi, it’s quite westernized so if that’s your style you’ll be happy. Solid locals spot!”

“Excellent food all seasoned and cooked to perfection. Black cod, cioppino, ribeye, crab cakes, and scallop risotto is what the table had. Excellent wine selection, great desserts and drinks. Minus one star because the cushions on the chairs at our table were too soft and sunk you too far below the table for good comfort.”

“We had dinner here last night and truly enjoyed the whole experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. What made our visit even better was the excellent service — everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. It is not easy to find a place with both great food and such warm hospitality. We will definitely come back again. Highly recommended
Sam Fah”

“Always consistent and always delicious. One of my favorite places in Danville. You must order the orange chicken, bbq pork fried rice, and salt and pepper wings!”

“The proprietor Shirley is the sweetest and kindest owner/server I've come across in quite some time, always asking how my momma doing!! Really home town feel!!”

“I absolutely love this place! The food is authentic and flavor is on point! The workers are friendly. I highly recommend this Chinese Restaurant!”

“Came here to celebrate this summer and had Nick as our server, returned tonight and asked for him again! He’s absolutely the best 👍🏻 great food, great location and fantastic service, just ask for Nick!”

“Great tasting food and excellent service…”

“Wonderful dinner experience with wonderful friends”

“Located in a small strip mall with plenty of free parking, East Bay Bakery is a zero-friction stop.

Arrived in the early morning to find a pristine, complete selection arranged across two small display cases. The operational care here is obvious—warm items were securely packaged completely separate from the cold pastries per my request, preserving the structural integrity of the crusts.

The technical breakdown:

Traditional Croissant: Stunning work and an absolute lesson in volume. It features a striking, bi-texture design on the exterior rings where the ultra-glossy, deeply bronzed egg-wash finish splits open along the ridge lines during baking, creating a beautiful shattered-lace effect that highlights the perfect expansion of the lamination layers. The interior cuts open to reveal a perfectly uniform, highly aerated honeycomb crumb.

The Croffle: A flawless hybrid execution. It presses a highly laminated pastry dough into a crisp waffle matrix, catching a beautiful golden glaze across the ridge peaks while maintaining an incredibly flaky internal crumb crunch.
.
Almond Croissant: Excellent geometry. It avoids the typical flat, greasy sink you see at other bakeries, balancing a shatter-crisp exterior shell with a thick, beautifully even layer of rich frangipane cream at the baseline.

Kouign-Amann: Phenomenal structure. It achieves a massive, vertical rise with a beautifully crisp, deeply caramelized outer sugar glaze, while the cross-section reveals an incredibly rich, stratified interior layer structure with a perfect chewiness.

Sausage Roll: A heavy-duty savory asset. The puff pastry crust is baked to a deep golden bronze, wrapping tightly around a dense, nicely seasoned, and robust meat core.

Turkey Cheese Croissant: Visually spectacular and aggressive. It commands attention with a massive, crispy baked cheddar cheese skirt bubbling out at the base and an expansive internal steam pocket packed with folded turkey.

Fruit Danish: The sweet pastry hits every mark. It sets a razor-sharp, yeast-leavened laminated viennoiserie frame around a velvety smooth yellow custard, topped with a glistening row of dark baked fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar.

This is exceptional craftsmanship that actually delivers on its structural potential. Tasted phenomenal for breakfast and sets the definitive standard for the East Bay. Highly recommended.”

“the New England clam chowder was off the hook no longer do I have to drive all the way to San Francisco have a good piece of sourdough bread dipped in the delicious clam chowder thank you Great Impasta”

“Fabulously, delicious cupcakes for our daughters 7 year birthday party. Catastic! Thanks smallcakes!”

“Very Nice Hazy IPA ! Good fish Tacos. Wonderful salad.”

“Maison Benoit US is worth the try. Authentic French pastry and food. Customer service A+”

“I loved my experience here! The food was amazing and the sauces were delicious. Aaron the owner treated us like family. You must go try it- you will go back again. Bring your own alcohol as they are new and don’t have their liquor license yet.”

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

“Birra Tacos ??? worth every penny.”

“Just had a GREAT experience at Melo’s today! We had a large group (24+) where we pre-ordered pizza and salads. They set us up in an area perfect for our group. Our food was set up on one table…buffet style…and we had plenty of tables to sit and eat. Highly recommend Melo’s pizza and pasta in Danville!”

“Savoring Lebanese cuisine; like never before . una reunión de amigos ... y una comida excelente ... de falafel boy quede impresionado. más que recomendado.”

“Forever fabulous. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I ordered the spicy pork lunch set here. The side dishes were tasty, and the set itself was well put together. It came with japchae, which was well-seasoned and had a nice variety of ingredients. The rice portion was slightly small, but honestly, the side dishes and japchae were enough to feel full. The amount of spicy pork was also generous.

The only downside was the noise from the fitness center upstairs—it sounded like dumbbells being dropped on the floor. It didn’t really affect my meal, but it might be stressful for the owner or staff. The server was very kind and friendly.”

“i absolutely love this place! amazing menu, gluten free baked goods. everything is delicious! Also there is dining available outside as well as inside, so if you have a furry Good boy or girl, they don't have to get left behind. I get their Spring Omelet with gluten free English muffin and fruit. oh so good!”

“the fish was incredibly fresh, and the seasoning was perfect. Talking with the new chef, I learned how to bring out more layers of flavor and texture in different parts of the fish through seasoning. He was very talkative, and I will definitely bring my family here for dinner again.”

“Enjoy coming to yogurt shack in the heart of Danville. Great variety of yogurt flavors and toppings. The owners staff with mostly high school youth. Looks like an excellent first job and the kids seem to not only enjoy working there but are very friendly and helpful. I love that it is conveniently located next to primos. It's a great after dinner treat.”

“Love this place so much. I like the owners they are kind and work very hard.
The taste, quality, and freshness of their sushi is somehow even better than high end Sushi places I’ve been to in Downtown Danville. Yet this place charges half the price. ‘Nuf said.”

“Dog friendly! Fantastic food; outdoor dining”

“Wow, just wow! We found this bakery a few months ago and I really need to spread the word. The cookies and pastries are so so good. The staff is delightful and our experiences have been very positive. Everyone should come pay them a visit!”

“chicken fried steak eggs over easy hash browns and biscuits going to try their omelette next”

“Super friendly and delicious….”

“Neck and neck with Zackerys Chicago deep dish pizza!”

“Great customer service and the food was delicious. Our eyes were bigger than our stomach, but hey, great leftovers 😋”

“Outstanding flavors , packed with protein and vegetables. Quantity was good.”

“Excellent staff. Delicious - big fan of that pluot sorbet!!”

“Don't drink, so I ordered a diet Soda. The bartender warned me that he didn't know who's diet it was but that it wasn't that good. He was being nice to what ever it was I had. Disgusting,Horrible diet soda. Everything else was great. Except a Niners glass....Probably because of my Seahawks Shirt.”

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

“I had ordered Tals Sufganiyot for Hannukuh today, but ended up having to call and cancel because I was in a car accident on the way so couldn’t make it in time for their closing. They were kind enough to come have one of their team members hand deliver it to our house. Such a kind act on an otherwise bad day that you just don’t see businesses do anymore. And, not to mention, it was delicious!! Thank you for your Hospitality and we’ll be back soon ❤️”

“Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Highly recommend Yokohama Sushi! 👍”

“Food is super fresh made right in front of you. Always tasty. Side from occasional service issues when they get backed up this is a great place for a healthy meal.”

“Really good customer service and the drinks here were great, the young man behind the counter was very nice and we even exchanged names, give triton a raise!”

“Just had a wonderful Italian salad...so good and hubby enjoyed his sandwich and salad very much. So happy to find a new delicious salad/sandwich joint!”

“I am a doordasher and I dash a lot of these sandwiches to a great many people from their reviews and watching the people making the sandwich pulled the trigger I had to find out I am well pleased and thrilled to report all is well if you don't know you might want to try 😋😍☺️”

“Fantastic Environment Wonderful Staff”

“Bagels are not the chewy type, they are much fluffier and delicious.
But the Dutch Crunch is not good. It looks great but it is extremely sweet and too soft, to the extent that is not bread anymore. Taste like dessert to me. too soft for a bread (tears easily), too sweet for a bread and lacks the signature crunch you expect.”

“I really like this store, it’s unfortunate the staff is so small now. I see one person here doing the job of two to three people whereas other stores have greater staff where that’s not needed. I’m curious why they stay or don’t move locations, as I see it being so stressful for them at times.Regardless, what I love most about it is regardless of the work conditions or severe understaffing, they always are very nice, respectful, and fast.

Parking: Parking is shared among other businesses in the strip mall, normally plentiful

Kid-friendliness: Baristas are nice to all.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps or elevations.”

“Excellent market with a great vibe!”

“Taco Bell Cantina restaurants, equipped with a fancy new look, open kitchen, custom menu and specialty alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, sangria and liquor versions of our classic Freezes. Hours: 8am to 1am”

“This place always has solid food with friendly service. I love the Baja Taco combo. Note: Seating for larger groups is only on the back patio.

Parking: It's got a few different parking options in the attached lots.”

“Probably the cleanest Costco food court I've ever seen. Tables, floor and even the soda machine is clean. The staff did an excellent job to keep the place clean”

“We usually just go to Fosters Freeze for ice cream. I had an Old Fashion Cheeseburger whole my son got an ice cream cone. The burger was fantastic! I’ll do that again.”

“My favorite is the Energy bowl with some almonds added on top - yum yum”

“Online order and pickup. Ordered regular 7&9 with extra meat on both. Order was completely accurate, friendly service and pleasant, welcoming atmosphere. I love TOGO’s!”

“I really enjoy visiting this Panda Express location in Danville, CA. The environment is clean, welcoming, and well maintained.

Eva, in particular, is exceptional—she is always friendly, smiling, and highly professional in the way she takes care of customers.

Every time I visit this location, I leave with a positive experience. Thank you to the entire Panda Express team. Your employees are truly valuable assets, and you should be proud of every single one of them.

I hope the team receives recognition, even if it’s a simple thank-you email or phone call, because they genuinely deserve it.

Thank you,
Faisal

“A cozy restaurant owned by a sweet Japanese couple who have been making sushi for decades. Very authentic and delicious Japanese food. Sad that they’re closing to retire.”

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.”

“It was the best sushi! We will be back!”

“First time here. Celebrated a birthday in the patio. Everything was great! I love when I find a new restaurant and everything from cocktails to desert was amazing! It’s family run and service was so awesome! We’ll be back!”

“We had our end of season party here for my daughter's softball team. The staff was attentive and the food was great! We would definitely have our party here again!”

“their tacos are off the hook I really enjoyed them but next time I'm going to sit down comfortably at a table instead of sitting in my car trying not to make a mess”

“Had the banh mi with grilled pork, and a Thai ice tea. The sandwich was tasty and the ingredients were fresh. It was the perfect size, at a good price. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. Since it's only 100 ft from the iron horse trail, it's a great place to stop for a break on a longer ride or walk. Added bonus is the bike rack in viewing distance from the cafe.”

“We recently hosted a large high school team banquet here and could not have had a better experience. Our original location fell through somewhat last minute, and John accommodated our group with very little notice. The morning of our event, our game time changed and he worked with us to adjust everything.

The venue itself is beautiful, the food and beer were delicious, and everything came out quickly despite the size of our group. We especially appreciated the ordering technology, which made it super easy for families to keep their bills separate without any confusion.

Lauren and the rest of the staff took amazing care of us throughout the event and made everyone feel welcome. We’re so grateful for the hospitality and highly recommend this spot for large groups, team events, or just a great meal and atmosphere!”
