20 Best Cafes in Walnut Creek

“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!“

“Finding it and parking can be tricky, but nice peple, good coffee, pastries were ok. Maybe if it wasnt called a croissant just a puff pastry the dissapointment might be less?
Harry potter is a bit cringe and political these days, not in a good way.
Coffee was on point.“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

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

“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.“

“So many awesome Russian goods to buy at Babushka Market and Deli! Finally got to try their Piroskis, but they were running out already at noon. They didn't have the Beef & Chedder & Jalapeno so I changed my order to the Beef & Mushroom which was still good. They can heat it up for you if you will eat it right away, or you can take it home and heat it up when you are ready to eat it! Also tried the strawberry cake, the worker said it was her favorite cake. It was good, but wayyyyy too sweet. If you don't want a super sweet cake, the strawberry cake is NOT for you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If I could give Ananas Café in Walnut Creek 10 stars, I absolutely would. This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves a cozy, welcoming café with amazing quality.

The coffee is top-notch—rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso or sitting down with a latte, you can taste the difference. Their pastries and light bites are just as impressive—fresh, delicious, and perfect to pair with your drink.

The atmosphere is what really makes Ananas stand out. It’s warm, relaxed, and beautifully set up—great for working, meeting friends, or just enjoying some quiet time. You instantly feel comfortable the moment you walk in.

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a genuinely welcoming vibe that keeps you wanting to come back.

Overall, Ananas Café is one of the best café spots in Walnut Creek. Highly recommended if you’re looking for great coffee, a chill environment, and excellent service!“

“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!“

“Awesome food and great service!!!“

“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! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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.“

“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.“

“All I’m gonna say is don’t sleep on the marketplace Café.

This place is great for simple eats like soups, salads, and sandwiches but the spicy shrimp Pomodoro and the pepperoni and mushroom pizza were surprisingly tasty. They also have seasonal specials like birria pizza, yum!

The pizza reminded me of the pizzas that you get at an artisanal pizza joint. It was handmade and executed really well.

The blackened salmon Caesar is so delish and I order it frequently for lunch.

My server Oscar was pleasant, kind and attentive.“
