50 Best Cafes near Martinez

“This is a new place that just opened less than months ago. I came here to get coffee—Vietnamese coffee is nice and strong and very creamy. Delicious, just can’t get it after 3pm or I am up all night.
I saw the picture of banh mi and came back to try several different ones. We got the grilled pork with peanuts, combo (A3), and an egg avocado croissant sandwich. The bread was nice and toasty. The pickled veggies were perfectly tangy and sweet. I usually prefer my meat to be sliced thinner, but that’s just a personal preference. I also love banh mi with Vietnamese butter spread, instead of mayo, which is more authentic. Over all, the sandwiches were delicious and I would come back for a quick lunch! I’d recommend this place for banh mi, it is the best one in this area.“

“And amazing blast from the past!!!“

“spent the morning comparing bagels in the area. Bagel Street Cafe came out on top, comparable with boichik which is nearly 50% more expensive. Density was right, skin the appropriate toughness. Depth of flavor was better here than many other places. The only lacking part is we wish they had a vegan cream cheese on the menu.“

“Thank You for the Vegan options!! 🌱“

“Crazy cozy & laid back cafe right on Shattuck just north of University Ave. Very solid lunch & brunch style menu & well priced. Turkey Crunch croissant sandwich w/ pesto was phenomenal. Chai latte to go was one of the best I’ve had in the Bay. & they have a Gelato bar? What?? 5 stars.“

“So beautiful. So delicious. All the pastries look like works of art. I personally love the Horseshoe and Jalousie pastry. It’s not too sweet, wonderfully flaky, and very flavorful. The coffee is authentically strong which I really enjoy. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I truly enjoyed visiting and can’t wait to come back!!“

“Estubo delicioso el almuerzo 💯 recomendado 👌😋😋😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“Oh my gosh, this bakery is incredible! From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in warmth and hospitality. The customer service is top-notch, and I couldn’t stop smiling. I tried the chicken empanada and the chocolate cannoli, and both were absolutely delicious. I’ve had my fair share of cannolis, but this one truly stands out. The pastry was perfectly baked, and the filling had a delightful balance of sweet and savory. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. We even had the chance to meet the owners, who were incredibly personable and passionate about their craft. This bakery has a fantastic mix of Filipino and Italian items, so if you’re looking for a unique and delicious treat, this is the place to go!“

“Such a cute little spot! I loved the cozy atmosphere, all of the greenery, and the outdoor seating. 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!“

“I had a great conversation with a very friendly cashier, and the vibes of the place were amazing! The coffee isn’t expensive compared to other places, and there are so many unique options. I got the ether iced coffee, which is a darker toast, and it was phenomenal. There are a lot of spaces to sit there and do work/study, as well as a reading nook!“

“I just moved into the building, and the Oasis Cafe is the best surprise! The people are delightful and friendly, and the food is delicious! It's quite an extensive menu for such a charmingly small space. While there is limited indoor seating, there is also seating outside.“

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

“Great spot for a coffee date.“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“Authentic family run Eastern European deli, with charming owners and truly top notch food. There’s a lovely patio in the courtyard to enjoy your meal should you choose to stay, and the service and preparation is absolutely worth it 💛“

“Good attention good sandwich“

“This is a wonderful place to get a good cup of coffee and a delicious savory or sweet pastry. Please spread the word this bakery is located in a strip mall that is going down hill. This Bakery brings class to the area.“

“And amazing blast from the past!!!“

“Fui por primera vez y probé los Chicken Waffles muy ricos el sabor es de cocina en casa muy delicioso.“

“Best Boba in town and East Bay. Their pearls are so soft, even when refrigerated...they come out still soft. I love all their boba flavors, and you seriously have to try it to know. Their banh mi is good too, but their boba and smoothies are literally amazing. 10/10. Don't believe me, just try it.“

“tried it for the first time. we got the chicken enchiladas and meatloaf burger. good prices food was good next time I'm getting two meatloaf burgers!!“

They gave our dogs lots of love, fresh water, and even toys!! They gave our dogs so much love and the food was so good I can promise you we will be coming back. ♥♥♥“

“I started going to Rrags in 2002 when my daughter started working there as a barrista. she received excellent training, earned enough to buy her laptop and most of her first car. the owners, and staff are very pleasant and welcome regulars and new customers with a smile.“

“First time visitor and will be returning!!! Menu has a large variety for whatever your stomach desires!! Even during lunch time, service was perfect!! GREAT TEAM effort!! Many customers picked up to go orders! Love that you can dine inside or out!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“The pizza is amazing! It's fresh, always hot, extremely cheesy, and they give you such a big portion. My family sometimes goes there just for the pizza because that's how good it is. The churros are great as well. My daughters get one every time we go.“

“Just had my 3rd dining experience this morning and all 3 breakfast meals have been fantastic! As a person on the carnivore diet, I find it refreshing I can order an all protein meal and be completely satiated without paying an arm and a leg. Eggs were scrambled perfectly and the bacon was delicious. And who could have thought a simple burger patty could taste so good. Must be a magic griddle! Highly recommend! Oh, and service is amazing. My Americano was tasty!“

“This place is one of the best places I've ever eaten at. Everything I try is wonderful and I have tried quite a few items! I keep thinking I'm going to need something like mayo, or hot sauce, or whatever... and their items are pretty wonderful without any help. And they are super friendly.“

“Great food good service! We Highly recommend this Restaurant!💕🤗“

“My mom took my there to Breakfast the other morning neither of us ever had Fried Chicken and Waffles…. So that’s what we ordered. It was very good and fresh, we will definitely be going back again… Thanks for the great and friendly service too….“

“The Matcha Chocolate Marble Milk Tea and Oreo Egg Puff was delicious.“

“We loved this place... huge portions and great homemade bread!! Huge fluffy pancakes!! Delicious!!“

“I have tried most of the flavors they have and the taste is always consistent. Highly recommend“

“Cozy, family owned cafe, that I cannot recommend enough if you’re in town or passing through Lafayette. You will not find any place with better freshly baked scones on this side of the tunnel. They are baked every morning, and if you come in early enough, they might still be warm. Each batch comes out with the most perfect fluffy interior, with a crisp exterior crust. No hockey pucks here! The photo doesn’t do it justice because I couldn’t hold back eating it before posting. The chai tea is a house made blend, with all organic ingredients. Try it as a latte with a shot of espresso. It’s so much better than the chai syrup concentrated drink you get at Starbucks, and you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. This is the best place to stop by before walking the reservoir, before/after your trader joe’s run, or to sit down and catch up with a friend over coffee or boba tea(also incredibly fresh and chewy boba). Not to mention, it’s a great study spot you can sit and study at all day. They now offer breakfast burritos and sandwiches, which makes this place even better than all the competing chain coffee shops in the area. The owner, Apple, is one of the hardest working people you will ever meet, and so kind and welcoming.“

“best slap yo momma bbq around.“

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

“I was told by a neighbor who had been told by a friend that the breakfast burritos are good here. I can confirm they definitely hit the spot when you crave a decent BB. I would have given a 5 star rating but the BB was a little on the small size and might have been better with some hash browns inside. On the other hand small portions are healthier so it all makes sense.“

“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!“

“Since this Cafe is so close to my house, I love taking my friends here when they come visit. The town of Orinda always gives me this feeling of leisure and grabbing a bite at Cafe Teatro helps to calm my mind. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available but I prefer outdoor for the sense of serenity (and because I get to look at my motorcycle while I eat). Love the Melts and Espresso here!“

“If you’re around Walnut Creek and need a solid spot for breakfast or lunch, Oak Road Café is worth a visit. Here’s a quick rundown:

Ambiance: Cozy and inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal.

Menu Highlights:

• Plenty of choices from sandwiches, wraps, and hot paninis to hearty salads and breakfast options.
• The Chicken Panini is a winner—crisp, flavorful, and just right for a quick bite.
• Prices are reasonable, with most items around the $8-$10 range.
• Coffee options are diverse, catering to every preference, hot or iced.

Service: Friendly staff and quick service make it a great stop during a busy day.

Verdict: Simple, fresh, and reliable—Oak Road Café gets it right if you’re looking for straightforward meals with a welcoming vibe.

Perfect for a no-fuss breakfast or lunch!“

“Omg! I love walking into your bakery! It makes me smile really big! Fudge brownies with cream cheese are the best in the world! My favorite is coconut cream pies! Reminds me of my beautiful grandmas pies when I was a child. Thank you for your service and your commitment to help serve our community. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.“

“Hits the spot. Friendly, toasted bagels many varieties, eggs cheese bacon ham of all descriptions. Good chips and drinks, a chocolate muffin that looks like it was made this morning and on site. Good stuff. Perfect pit stop place. Family happy

I took away. Basic digs.“

“Awesome food and great service!!!“
