“Cute place with amazing natural decor and amazing food. We ordered the ube crunch dessert and the pesto chicken savory crepe and both were fantastic. The staff was also super polite annd friendly and went above and beyond in their service. Would highly recommend!!“

“This is a small shop with a lot of heart and craftsmanship. The flavors and ingredients are fresh and strong. The gentleman that works the counter alone takes the time to take orders and also make the items on his own. Kamurocho has an unassuming air that feels like home. It is very simply decorated with chosen items like postage stamps and pokemon cards. Something about that is quite charming. I still need to try all their items but so far the crown jewel has been the shaved ice which is the most decadent, light, balanced dessert I have ever had. They shave the ice into snowflake light layers mixed with the shops custom creme blend and toppings. It's instantly refreshing and satisfying. The drinks have layered complex flavors. You can tell they use quality matcha and fresh fruits unlike other places that just dump in a few pumps of syrup. I really like this place and will definitely come back a third time.“

“😋 definitely recommend. Get the vegan Potato, the apple and also the beef for sure!! Their espresso is amazing too 😊“

“Jim's has quality food and the Service has always been excellent ....“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

“Lake Chabot is a great place to walk - shorter walks or even the 9 mile very scenic loop around the Lake starting and ending at the Marina Snack Bar/Cafe. Not much of a place to eat through very limited selection - much much less than a 7-11.“

“Absolutely my favorite little coffee shop. It’s ran by the most lovely brown mamas who’s loving energy radiates into everything they do. Super queer friendly and the most amazing Chipotle Sandwich and Cafe de olla around.“

“great atmosphere and a very relaxing place to get some work done or fellowship. Very accepting of everyone No judgment just great ambiance.“

“Will have to come back and try different bagels also maybe earlier during the day.
The service was amazing the ladies super friendly.
Got a bagel with cream cheese and a apple turn over. I did see them make a giant breakfast sandwich with bacon that I wished I had earlier in the morning haha“

“I’m not exaggerating when I say this is probably the best pizza I’ve ever had.. PHENOMENAL. The crust was very crisp while the inside was fluffy and chewy.

Overall food and customer service was great! Will definitely return and tell everyone about this place!“

“I'm deeply grateful to the leadership at Inklings Coffee for taking small but necessary steps to be and become a safe place for women.“

“Amazing Vietnamese coffee and a sandwich - hit the spot! I wondered why the ratings were mixed and asked at the counter, they told me this was new ownership and it makes sense! They went above and beyond. Place is very clean and staff is friendly“

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

“So I am always on the prowl for good breakfast joints. This is one of my new spots. I got the corn beef hash two eggs over medium sour dough toast and a cup of coffee. Meal was satisfying and to my surprise it came to just under 20 dollars with a tip. I was extremely pleased and even more happy the place is close to my house where I can pop in and get an inexpensive meal cooked right. Cornbeef was not super oily and the over medium eggs were cooked with no runny whites. Did not even need to ask for hot sauce as she brought it out with out being prompted. Service was good, place was kinda clean but not a concern for me. Good experience, and definitely a place I will visit again.....“

“Was my first time trying Tommy's Doughnuts and wow I am impressed! The service was amazing and quick, and very friendly. The doughnuts are absolutely delicious and fresh. The prices were great as well! Will need to stop by Tommy's again the next time I am in “

“Dog friendly! Fantastic food; outdoor dining“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“Beautiful place, wonderful experience and yummy boards and treats and delicious wines and bubbles! Wonderful Owners( mom and daughter) doing things right! Beautiful location! Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“The food here is amazing and affordable! It's a great place to stop by for sandwiches, salads and tacos ☺️“

“I bought 2 plain croissants, a small rectangle pastry with berries, and a very small square pastry with raspberries on top. I also got an iced mocha latte. I eat healthy and this was a wonderful treat! The croissants flaky, tiny bit dry. the mocha latte (w/almd milk) was very good, the small is a decent size, nice for a “dessert” but not overly sweet. They packaged everything so nicely. It’s nice to eat there but I took it to go this time. 😁👍🏽“

“Love coming here. Great crepes and fun to have them make your latte with a photo of your choice on it. Staff always so gracious and attentive.“

“Like others says, it’s a hidden gem. It’s literally inside a hidden area of an office building. GPS sends you to the opposite side where the cafeteria is. You just have to enter the building and cross to the other side. Then you will get nice pastries and great coffee. My favorite was the everything bagel with cream cheese and pickled jalapeños. You can’t find that flavor anywhere in Pleasanton. I’m coming back to get more.“

“This place does not only have delicious food, the place is also very nice and clean but what stood out to me most was the Superb experience I had with Kai the young lady who served us, she was fast and friendly, Ken he was so kind and accommodating, will definitely go back over and over.“

“After doing a 42 mile cycle we needed to refuel. We had been to nectar once before and had a good experience so back we went again This time the experience was even better while my one friend had a smoothie and the other one had a bowl and it was great and the waffle with a little avocado on unbelievable highly recommend it nice people clean and I mean clean“

“The food varies day to day, but the drinks stay. If you like coffee, they have good options, if you like smoothies, they have you covered. The workers are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of tables, and comfortable chairs. A nice place to study or hangout between classes or when the cafeteria is closed.“

“I love how the cups are reusable! Best idea ever and it’s cute!“

“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.“

“We were in the Walnut Creek and were craving piroshkis. We knew about Babushka Market & Deli and so we went there and ordered 6 piroshkis. The lady named Lyubov behind the counter is one of the nicest person we have ever met. She was very helpful and explained how they have something like 16 or 17 different kinds/varieties of piroshkis. We ordered 3 beef and 3 beef with jalapeno and they warmed them up for us on the spot. These are baked piroshkis, not deep friend, so they were not oily like the other kind. They were filled with a huge portion of meat with perfect seasoning with a huge beef flavor. They are literally the perfect sandwich and for a very reasonable price. We were very impressed by the quality of them and even one is enough to fully satisfy your hunger. As we were sitting at the table inside eating them, gentleman at the table next to us starting talking to us about the piroshkis. It turned out he was the owner of the Market and his name was Leo and he started it 29 years ago and runs it with his family. He told us that they buy their meat fresh and grind it on site and use all fresh and good ingredients, which explains why the piroshkis are so fantastic. We talked with Leo for a long time about the olden days, living in other countries, and our common experiences and ancestries…it was a wonderful conversation which was a perfect complement to the best piroshkis in the Bay Area in our opinion. If you haven’t tried this place we urge you to stop buy and buy one, which I think for sure after you eat it, you’ll want to buy a few more to take home. 5 Stars to this place…the best!“

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.“

“Excellent egg wraps, extremely fluffy eggs and generous portions. I think they should add a sausage option, bacon in a wrap has good flavor but often comes out at 1 bite. Perhaps rip the bacon into smaller bites to ensure the flavor lasts throughout the experience.“

“Next time your in Pleasanton you have to stop bu here. Best breakfast I have had in a long time.“

“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!“

“Employees treated us amazing, our daughter had a bit of a melt down at the end and they gave her a sucker and a stuffed animal to make her feel better. Overall amazing experience“

“Food was done quickly and it tasted amazingly delicious.“

“The drive-through at this location used to be super slow. It's now regular wait times and really great upbeat staff! Dealing with the public can drain you. The young woman who helped me today 1/13/2025 was absolutely above and beyond. If her boss reads this, she has facial piercings around her mouth and dark hair. Please give her an 'atta girl' for great service and human interaction. I think people forget to smile at each other and just say hello.“

“What an awesome little place. The food is pretty damn good, the coffee is even better. It's very affordable, the staff are very nice and hardworking. A nice little environment, I like to study there (there are chargers and free wifi!).“

“This is by far our FAVORITE GLUTEN FREE PLACE! So Delicious and safe for everyone to eat in my home!“

“Not a whole lot can bring me into Walnut Creek, so when I was at the Roller Derby last night I heard Flamethrower Alice telling a group of tacolickers how great the sandos are at Mary's Café, and with inside information like that...I just had to go!
I finished up my business with Crazy Eddie Eight Ball at his speed shop, The Corner Pocket there in Wickwack plaza, and headed straight over to Mary's Café. Let me just say this...My sandwich was Amazing! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I discovered this great gem of a bar during the final Hayward B street block party of the season! The owner was very friendly & the bar tender was amazing! She was working so hard because it was super busy. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken wings & they were the best I'd ever had. YUM!! They took awhile to come but as I said they were super busy at the time, but they were well worth the wait. Come on down to Blue Crown Bar & Bistro!!“
