20 Best Cafes in Walnut Creek

“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!“

“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!“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

“Absolutely fantastic, this is about as authentic as you can get it. The golubtsi taste identical to my grandma’s, and while every borscht is different, this is certainly a good one. Definitely a hidden gem and I would encourage anybody curious about eastern european cuisine to come try it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome food and great service!!!“

“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.“

“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 .“

“A peaceful cafe with a unique twist on breakfast burritos, super yummy!! The people working here are very kind and brought us all our drinks and food, even offering us to sit inside from the cold, haha. Unfortunately this great place is tucked away and a bit hard to find, but please have a visit! You won't regret it!!! The prices for the portions are amazing too! Thank you!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!

“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“
