Cute coffee shop in the middle of a strip mall! We found this place on Yelp by searching for local…read morecoffee shops and this one stood out! The staff was friendly and there was plenty of parking in front and behind the cafe. It was well decorated, with big windows, an open-air bar, and cafe merchandise for sale. There was also a bulletin board advertising other businesses, a bathroom, and wifi options. It was a bit warmer this day, but there was a big fan in the front providing some air to the space. There was also a free or paid wifi option depending on the bandwidth one would need. I ordered the iced chai latte with caramel syrup and almond milk, which was a bit pricey for nearly $10. However, I will say it was delicious and made quickly. Probably the coolest thing here though was the co-working space. The front of the cafe had plenty of seating for people to talk or work. There was a hallway leading to the back room that had larger tables for bigger groups, implying more of a co-working or quieter space. Definitely appealing for people wanting a third space - will be back!

Our drinks seemed to be taking a bit of time, but I thought nothing of it because it's normal for orders to come out a little slowly here. I noticed that the people who were behind us in line had received their drinks so I asked about our drinks at the coffee bar. They had no record of our order. The very same girl who I had placed our order with asked me if I had used a different name (?) or if I had placed my order online (??????). She seemed seriously confused/disbelieving that we had an order...even though she was the person who took it. Eventually she offered to start making our drinks but we had already wasted enough time so I asked for a refund. As I was getting my refund, our order miraculously appeared in their work queue. I get that sometimes orders are forgotten and there was a steady stream of customers, but the shop was not so busy that you would not remember the people who placed an order less than ten minutes prior. It was a bizarre interaction. Also, when I asked for a receipt for my refund the barista was unable to provide me one. Not cool. They offered us some drinks coupons for my next visit but I declined them because there won't be a next time. Their coffee is not that special, it's just one of the very few independent coffee shops in Concord.

The people that work here are incredibly rude and also happen to have 0 brain cells combined. My…read morefriend stopped in here yesterday to buy a drink. He ended up ordering an iced turkish coffee with milk. It was hot outside, so I went in to grab some water. Their water container was not only basically empty, but it was also warm. Gross. I decided I would rather pay for a cup of iced water (because in a lot of the places I've been to, they charge for it). I go up to the register and ask if I can buy a plastic cup with iced water. The cashier/pastry cook/barista says, "Water?" and I repeat that I want a cup with iced water. She says, "Ice?" and I say, yes please. She goes right next to where the other barista is and she grab a scoop full of ice and gestures it to me. I'm kind of confused by this point, and it seems like the other barista is too. And then I ask again if I can get it in a plastic cup. Then the other barista points to one of the paper cups next to the warm water container, but then I ask them again if I could please get it in one of the cups they have, (because I wanted to be able to carry it around with a lid). That's when the other barista says, "You're doing too much, but okay." And she passes me the plastic cup, without a lid, acting as if I just asked her for her whole paycheck and half the drinks on the menu. I'm definitely annoyed at this point, but I don't care enough to be rude back. Then she says she's going to fill up the container. So she goes, gets the container to fill it up, and I'm there waiting with my friend in the store. It looks like she's the only barista there, so it keeps taking a little longer for the drink(s) to come out. When she finally comes back with a semi-filled container, I'm conversing with my friend, when she turns sharply and says, "Were you going to order anything??" in a pretty snappy tone, as if I'm only worth giving a plastic cup to if I'm going to order more. We reply that we already ordered, and she goes back to finish drinks that a previous customer had ordered. It's two drinks, and I assume that it took about 12-15 minutes for them to receive what looked like small hot drinks. I say this because these customers were sitting there well before my friend and I arrived, took time to order, and then were waiting for our drinks. After that, we're still waiting while she goes to take orders, and that's when the cashier/pastry cook/barista woman finishes my friends drink... after having stood there FOREVER while the other barista was going in circles. I was shocked to say the least, kind of amused, but also disappointed because these customers drink was about 8-9 bucks, the wait time was about 8-10 minutes, and the drink was disgusting. Actually insane. I don't recommend this place whatsoever. Place looks mid, service was abominable, and the workers look like they hate each other and anyone who asks for a plastic cup with iced water. Do better, and preferably give us back our money for the nasty drink+attitude combo.

Delicious breakfast sandwich!…read more I ordered the wakin bacon breakfast sandwich on dutch crunch bread and let me say I would definitely make the drive over just for this sandwich!

The food on the other hand was delightful! I got the Wakin Bacon Panini and I would order it again and again. The bread was the perfect amount of sweet, the bacon crisp, and the sauce was the perfect amount of spice. I absolutely enjoyed every bite. Service: 4/5. The guys in there were kind. It took a bit to get the panini, but worth the wait! Atmosphere: 4/5. The atmosphere is what sets this place apart from other coffee shops. I felt like a character in Westworld while sitting in here. It's got a old western feel and is very cozy. I sat in a cozy little corner at the front and it was a good spot to sit and read while drinking my coffee. For my first time, I was impressed and will be back again!

We ended up with those and a few stickers before ordering a brown sugar cinnamon latte (on recommendation from the barista) and a giant mint chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was really big. A bit on the drier side, but I loved the flavor. Not too sweet, and the mint was just right. The latte was really good. Perfect temperature, and just the right amount of sweetness. Very good espresso taste came through the foam. Perfect little treat on a cold and rainy day! Service is really fast and friendly. I'll be back!

Since we've been boycotting a certain coffee establishment with the mermaid logo, and our once coffee spot that is now owned by a private equity firm, we wanted to go to a locally-owned coffee shop and support them instead. My friend, who also happens to live in Martinez, found this spot on Yelp and we all drove here. We arrived there with a couple of hours to spare before they closed. It's a small, charming and quaint coffee shop with plenty to offer like baked goods and pastries. The young lady working at the counter was friendly, accommodating and provided us with answers to our questions and explained their menu. My Martinez friend mentioned that he wasn't aware this place even existed and that his kids went to school just a couple blocks away. They've been in business for 13 years, and she actually graduated from the same school that his kids went to. I ordered an Iced Pistachio Latte (not too sweet), while my friends ordered a hot drink (regular latte, I believe) and another iced drink. And yes, one can ask to customize the sweetness level to your preference. We also got a slice of Pistachio Nutella Coffee Cake and a Strawberry Coffee Cake. Coffee is good (that's all we can ask for) and she gave us a generous portion of the coffee cake since there was three of us to share the cake with. My friend said he would definitely return again since he knew this place existed and continue to support local businesses.

To start, the employee working at the cash register was super friendly and gave great suggestions on drinks and food to order based on how sweet we like things or more coffee for we may want things to be. There isn't really any indoor seating space but they did build out into the parking lot with a few picnic tables and chairs for people to stay and eat their food. While we both really enjoyed the food - both of which were recommended by the employee - the coffee was not good at all. Pro: the avocado toast that we ordered had a curried chickpea salad on top and it had a delicious flavor. That was probably my favorite bite! We also shared half order of the blueberry waffle, and it had a type of granola on top that provided some really great textures. The food certainly impressed me. Con: Both of us felt like the coffee had none of the flavor that it was supposed to have (we both ordered the cardamom maple iced latte with macadamia nut milk) and instead, it just tasted like milk. It didn't even really have a coffee forward flavor. Since this is a coffee shop that was a pretty big disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service, but would skip the coffee.

Comfortable atmosphere and chill vibe... it always seems to have a dozen or more people enjoying conversation or working on their laptop inside, and several more enjoying the small porch outside. (Dogs are welcome on the porch.) They always have a welcoming and friendly staff and provide quick service. They have a large selection of teas and coffee for retail as well. This is definitely worth a side trip to enjoy a hand-crafted beverage, a small bite and to relax for a bit. It's a perfect option versus sitting in the service waiting room if you're getting service at many of the shops within a couple of blocks.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of character. The décor blends modern style with traditional Thai touches, creating a comfortable yet vibrant dining space. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish we tried was packed with bold, authentic flavors and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The balance of sweet, spicy, sour, and savory was spot on. The Pad Thai was one of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked noodles with just the right amount of tang and richness. The Tom Yum soup was incredibly flavorful, with a deep, aromatic broth that had the perfect kick of spice. We also ordered a curry dish that was rich, creamy, and full of depth--easily a standout. What really made the experience even better was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They took the time to explain dishes and offer recommendations, which made us feel well taken care of throughout the meal. The presentation of the food was also impressive--each dish looked as good as it tasted. It's clear that a lot of care and passion goes into everything they serve. Overall, Saneh Bangkok is a must-visit if you're looking for authentic Thai food in a great atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just visiting Thailand, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

I had made a reservation because I didn't know how crowded the place could get especially on Mother's Day but glad I did. The food was amazing and tasted great. It had been a while since I had eaten Thai food but coming here definitely reminded me of how much I missed it. I ordered the red curry chicken with a side of Jasmin rice. This was my first time trying red curry as I usually order yellow curry. I do have to mention that it was spicier than I thought and definitely made me have a runny nose but nothing I couldn't handle lol. The fried chicken wings were also amazing and definitely loved the crunchiness to it. It was cooked really through and I enjoyed that. Everything had just enough spices to really enjoy the food.
