21 Best Cafes in Walnut Creek

“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!“

“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.“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“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.“

“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 💛“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“10/10 pastries, perfectly made! I bought a Tarte au Citron, a honey lavender latte, and a seasonal kouign amann. The employees were very kind and gave great recommendations! I’m definitely coming back.“

“Awesome food and great service!!!“

“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.“

“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 .“

“We’ve been to at least 3-4 times. We like it here. The food was surprisingly good. They just recently chabged the mode pf ordering from cafeteria style to restaurant seating and ordering at the table. The truffle mushroom pizza was very good and the bread pudding was extra good. Will keep coming back“

“The team here is always extremely friendly and professional. Unfortunately, there is always an extremely annoying wait time to just pick something up since they want it to be like the Apple Store. Cool experience, but needs to be re-worked for busier location. Product is GREAT, and I love my machine. They are always throwing in good testers and samples as well.“

“Like everything in today's economic life, the costs are higher and the portions are smaller. I am sorry to see an adjustment on portions size, I absolutely expect price increases, as I want this business to keep open. The smaller portion size caught me by surprise from my last visit over a year ago. The most noticeable was the price and size of the morning breakfast souffle. The portion size reduced by at least 30% (I suspect more) and the price increased by ~$2. Honestly speaking, I would happily pay an additional $1.50 to return portion size the before. Quality of food is still top for a fast food or quick fix type of business, no complaints. Love the drink selection and extra props for great hot chocolate. Restaurant is always clean and staff works very hard at keeping tables sanitized. Coffee station is well maintained.“
