I like their gelato. I like that the owner is highly motivated to perfect his coffee knowledge. And it sounds like he's gone to extensive education to acquire such knowledge. The atmosphere is very nice. Kind of quaint eclectic maybe. I'm knowing interior designer so don't go by my statement. But I like it. Their pastries are good too. Next time I go, I can't wait to try the coffee coffee. You save a little bit if you pay cash. Is also a punchcard for a discount after all the punches are done. read more

Inadvertently found this gem! I was in the area and saw CCC. I'm glad I did. I ordered an oatmilk latte extra hot (which they got right) and a scone. The latte was yummy and it was "extra hot" which most places get wrong. The apricot/cranberry scone was especially delicious. It wasn't overly sweet nor had a great mixture of taste (a local bakery makes the pastries so it's not made in house). The service was also great. A young lady helped me and she was friendly and answered a couple of questions that I had. The place was inviting and there were plenty of seating inside and outside. It's in a mall strip so parking was not an issue (there was a disabled parking right I front with easy access to the shop). I definite recommend this place. read more

Contra Costa Coffee - Oatmilk Latte and Cranberry Apricot Scone! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Spacious with lots of seatings. The coffee is good and they have a long list of house made syrups. I really like the seasonal orange & basil one. Something caught my eye that I didn't get to try is milk nectar. read more

My hangout place after I get off work. Contra Costa Coffee is the place to be at. With friendly service and great beignet and gelato I recommend coming to Contra Costa Coffee. I wish I could still come here daily if I was still working in Walnut Creek. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and latte. Parking was ample since it's part of a larger complex. The staff greeted us right away and were warm, patient, and helpful with suggestions. Their menu includes breakfast dishes that looked tempting along with gluten free pastries. We tried the Castle Rock latte made with coffee cherry and it was delicious! I also grabbed a slice of matcha cake which was light, flavorful, and really hit the spot. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. Lots of people were catching up over coffee while others were working on their laptops. Free Wi-Fi makes it easy to stay awhile. I love that they make their own syrups and rotate seasonal flavors, which adds something special and wants me to keep coming back to try different lattes! The team here clearly cares about what they serve and how they treat their guests. Can't wait to come back! read more

Got a chai latte with almond milk and a Mayan mocha with oat milk. Not too sweet which is so nice. Good spice levels. Nice vibe. Friendly service. Good parking read more

Pretty disappointed. Ordered 3 lattes and they all tasted exactly the same- straight up milk. Pandan, Lavender or even coffee were nowhere to be found. read more

Stumbled upon this coffee shop leaving the nearby gym. They have flavors like ube and pandan which is rare to find out here so I was excited to try it. The staff is really nice and assisted us quickly. They have house made syrups which I appreciate for local coffee shops! The coffee shop has plenty of table space to study or lounge and chat with friends. I ordered an ube latte which wasn't sweet enough for me, so after a sip I asked for 2 extra pumps which made it perfect! My friend ordered their special latte which was with ginger and turmeric (forgot the name) and it had had a light hint of ginger but nonetheless was good. I would definitely come back to try their other house made syrups! read more

Longtime fan of both their gelato and coffee. Love having this place in our neighborhood! They offer oat milk at no extra charge for espresso drinks. Lot so f seating and open early. read more

Congratulations to Jhoey, Taylor, and Vik on Contra Costa Coffee's Five Year Anniversary! That deserves five stars! I came by today ... just missed you, Jhoey! It was afternoon so I opted for gelato rather than coffee. Enjoyed three gelato samples and settled on the cappuccino flavor. Always a winner. Appreciated the anniversary free treat. Opted for the kouign amann. New for me. Excellent vendor for pastries. Here's to your next five years! read more

This is an unassuming coffee place in the mall where BevMo is and Raleys once was. The coffee was awesome. I had a latte and it was perfect. Nice dark roast flavor popping through the foam. It's a quiet place with a few tables inside and out. They have one barista and one counter person so bring a little patience. It's worth it. read more

Contra Costa Coffee - Latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I used to go to Grind coffee shop back in the days before the contra costa coffee opened up in the same location. I like to support small businesses. Now I go to cc coffee get a cup of coffee and a pastry for breakfast once in a while. My favorite is mocha but their mocha can't compare with Peet's coffee. One day I got my mocha from there and it was cold and no taste of chocolate, very disappointed. I will still recommend this coffee shop and courage to support small business. read more

I came here at around 7:40am today. First thing I noticed was how spacious this place was. It seems like a great place to study. The woman helping me at the counter was really sweet and helped me figure out which drink to order which I did end up choosing an Iced Green Chai with oat milk. My favorite part was the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. The concentrate is delicious and you can definitely taste the earthiness from the Green Tea. I'll come back to try their gelato next. Come and support a local business! read more

It was my first time trying an ube latte and it was a great experience here. The latte was done very nicely, you could tell the barista has good skill. They were also extremely friendly at the kiosk and it felt easy to talk to them or possibly get advice on what to drink. The ambiance indoors was very clean and organized, a good spot for an interview or a get together. Lots of comfortable seating available. read more

Contra Costa Coffee - ube latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I really enjoyed this place. I needed some caffeine, and found this place on a whim. I came in and ordered an iced black tea, and the caffeine almost instantly woke me up. The employees were really friendly, and they took care of all the customers really well. They have some music playing in the background, but it's not overwhelming that you can't concentrate. They also have WiFi here, so now that I know that, I can definitely see myself coming back and doing some work here. read more

Together with the de-volution of the obnoxious noise of hip-hop, rap, & punk masquerading as a music stream is accompanied by an abrupt cut- back in hours, already tarnished by some uppity staff taking in tables & stacking chairs a full hour before closing time, a sure sign of lackluster customer appreciation, if not laziness; including pontificating at the service counter about tipping, or lack thereof, as if tipping were an entitlement, not part of regular earnings aka things earned, not paid. Such are telling signs of mismanagement, almost as if the absentee ownership has a self-inflicted death-wish of imminent closure. Should this shop's devolution persist at its current breakneck pace, then closure could regretfully but promptly follow. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Walnut Creek. It's an independent shop, and unlike the corporate chains, it's a relaxing place to sit and sip. They won't rush you out just to make room for the next customer. There is ample parking. The owner has a master's degree in food science from UC Davis, and is extremely knowledgeable about everything coffee. The quality of the coffee is markedly better than anywhere else I've tried. The staff are polite and the service is fast. On the rare occasion something isn't quite right, like an order mix-up, just ask politely they'll remake it for you at lightning speed. Occasionally there are one or two people who talk on the phone for 30+ minutes or take Zoom calls inside the shop. I'm not crazy about that, but headphones work great. read more

$9 for a milky bland latte. Not the place if you like a strong coffee flavor or spending a reasonable amount on a latte.

I've been to contra costa coffee a few times, and it seems like the best place to get a good espresso or tea along ygnacio valley road. This time, I ordered their blackberry jasmine green tea as an Arnold Palmer and it was very refreshing. The tea is very floral, and the hints of mango and orange peel give it a tropical-like scent. The tea tastes very much like it smells. They usually have seasonal house-made syrups, and I believe all of their syrups are house made which I really appreciate. I've never been in the morning (which I presume is their rush hour) but every time I've been there it hasn't been busy at all. The employees are very kind and ready to make recommendations based on your preferences. I definitely recommend Contra Costa Coffee Company!!! read more

Super cute place, love the abundance of options while still being a true coffee shop. They have three types of non dairy milk which is a PLUS. They have almond, oat, and MYLK - first time trying MYLK and it's just okay. I won't get it again because I LOVE the creaminess if oat but it was worth the try. MYLK is a blend of oat, coconut cream, and fava bean (if I remember correctly). The person working the counter was super friendly too. They are offering tastings of their gelato. I tried white peach and fior de latte - both good but really wanted coffee which they were out of so I'll try again some other time. read more

OK coffee, not a huge menu, service was relatively quick. Mocha was not very chocolately, unfortunately.

I went there for the first time today. I give them five stars for the latte. It was delicious and the coffee art was a special touch. There was a woman complaining about being short staffed and I did not think that was necessary. I also think it could be a bit more well organized. However, the latte was exceptional and I will go again. read more

Came here after working out since my gym is in the same plaza. The space itself is very cute! I also love that they open early. The coffee was decent, I didn't love the ice coffee that I had but would be open to trying something different! read more

If you are in the area, you have to check out this little coffee shop/gelato place. The coffee is amazing, I always order oat milk cappuccino, was never disappointed. Gelatos are great too, our family favorite is POG(assorted fruit sorbet), milk chocolate and tiramisu. They change flavors often. Before making the order they will let you try several flavors (currently the front fridge broke and that option is unavailable). You can buy popular flavors to go in small batches too. Their pastries are just ok. It is Staff is always friendly and offers loyalty cards,which usually got full in very quickly. Also there is a slight cash discount, if you want to save a little. This coffee shop offers inside and outside sitting, but no public restrooms, which is inconvenient if you came with little kids. read more

We came here based on the yelp reviews. It's in a large shopping center so there's plenty of parking. I came around 10 am there are a lot of tables that are close together. It was a bit warm inside. The menu is up front. They also have pastries and gelato. I got an ice latte with an extra pump of vanilla. It took a little while to get our coffee. The coffee is strong but it is good. read more

The staff here was so pleasant and they make a great latte! The best part about this place, though, was that they have lots of really good pasties! Whenever I find a kouign-amann, I get so excited, and this one did not disappoint. It looked like they had lots of other options and there were several varieties of gelato. Would definitely visit again! read more

I've lived in the area for quite sometime and frequently visit the post office in this plaza. This morning on my way to starbucks, I asked myself... "Why do I go to Starbucks when I can support a newly discovered local coffee shop?" And here I am. Immediately I could tell this place cares about their customers based on the fact that the people behind the counter greeted individuals by name and made personal small talk. The gentle music playing in the background was soft but noticeable as I nod my head to Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (A GODDAMN BOP) and the homestyle decor full of cats, coffee themes, and various seasonal fixtures that were carefully thought out to compliment the small and quaint nature of the business. Im ranting, but I do want to highlight the latte i got, while delicious I took the top off to see a beautiful design. To the kind young lady in the black with the glasses... thank you for putting care into my coffee. Had I not removed the top, I never would've have noticed your beautiful efforts into making this experience even more satisfying. You are very much appreciated and small details like this is what makes me return to certain places. One day, I hope you all can greet me by name as I plan on becoming a regular. read more

So close to home. My husband and came across this place last year. I love this little coffee shop. My fave is the Gibraltar and they make excellent latte as well. The pastry is good no wow factor. The staff are very nice and pleasant. They also have gelato by" Ginger Gelato" and one of my favorite is the kalamansi flavor it's refreshing. My only comment is you need a little bit more brightness inside the store and add some cozy elements. Need more chairs outside too read more

Contra Costa Coffee is a new co-tenant with Ginger's Gelato. the hours posted on Yelp are wrong, updated (6/4) on their webpage, not website. inboxed yelp on new 5 day hours. the free gelato or coffee with purchase offer posted on yelp page is also wrong according to the owner present. offerings: coffee, gelato, expresso. brew: medium roast (16 oz) 2.50 -just light or medium, no dark roast available. rawanda was mentioned... -medium roast tasted like the usual coffee, slightly acidic. not strong enough for me. couldn't get woke enough. drips: -Kinesis roastery mentioned, little else besides long history of owners involvement in coffee businesses. -previous licks of Ginger Gelato finger licking GREAT! -directions are easy to follow once they are noticed. food film at register isn't visible. it's see thru so pay area isn't apparent. read more

Nice little stop before I went into Morgan territory canyon. The staff/owners were very kind and shared their recommendations and insight into other local businesses. My iced decaf Americano was flavorful and it was fun to try one of their in-house syrups, the vanilla cardamom. If you are an affogato fan, namely gelato and espresso, this is the place to get it! Their decor also was fun hehe read more
