    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!

    yk i have to give it to them for having housemate syrups. i always love a seasonal menu!! good…read moresummer drink variety. got the ube matcha latte. tried the matcha on its own, definitely doesn't have much depth and i don't think it's wildly great quality. but it's good for a latte! the ube matcha is pretty balanced. ube really comes out and still has the vanilla and matcha taste. though, $9 for a average quality matcha is a lot. i'll give it a dollar for house made syrup. but it's still a lot... staff was helpful in their recommendations. seemed like they really like their job! music isn't too loud. tons of seating and a lot of people were there chilling. nice natural light that isn't too direct.

This is one of my favorite weekend spots in the summer since it is only outside seating. Seating is shaded which is great! Parking is also pretty good on a normal day!

    I struggled with deciding to rate this at a 4 or a 3 so I think I'm going to go with a 4 but…read moreconsider this a 3.5. 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.

    Stopped here for our morning coffee before heading to lunch in the area. The dining area is…read moreseparated into two spaces; the main area and the little room in the back. We sat in the back and it was really cozy. There were upholstered chairs around small tables, more like a club than a coffee shop; I loved it! The front area is brighter and sleeker than the back; more like what I'm used to in a coffee shop. The pastries in the display case looked wonderful, but since we were going to lunch, none of us ordered anything other than coffee. I had a small cappuchino and I think others got cappuchinos as well, another small and two mediums. The small was $5 and the mediums were $6. The baristas were friendly and welcoming and made a great cappuchino. Highly recommend!

    The employee who took our order seemed like he was having the worst day of his life and wanted…read moreeveryone else to have one too. From the moment we walked up to the counter, the attitude was cold, irritated, and downright unfriendly. Ordering felt more like an inconvenience than a customer interaction. To top it off, nobody asked whether we wanted our food for here or to go, yet everything arrived packed in to-go containers. When we opened one of the boxes, it looked like our food had lost a fight with a tumble dryer. The presentation was so rough that we genuinely laughed because we couldn't believe it was being served that way. Good coffee and food can be forgiven for an occasional mistake, but poor customer service is much harder to overlook. Hopefully this was just an off day, because a little friendliness and a lot less attitude would go a long way.

    Honestly don't quite understand the amazing reviews of this coffee shop…read more We love downtown Walnut Creek and got excited to try out a new coffee spot but was really disappointed in every aspect of this shop.. it was quite busy for a Wednesday afternoon and when we walked in, there's one kiosk to order. No one was at the main register to take orders. The couple in front took forever to order so we stood next in line for a little under 10 min.. we noticed there were several people outside of the small shop waiting for their orders. As we were in line to offer, several people came inside and asked the employees at the counter about their order status. We waited 30 min for 2 iced drinks!! Someone ahead of us was still waiting on her ONE iced coffee. I ordered an iced tiramisu latte and my brother ordered a matcha. My drink tasted like watered down milk. My brother's drink didn't taste like proper matcha. It's a shame because the place and location is nice. But staff doesn't greet you or seem friendly or even approachable. And the drinks are not good. I didn't bother for any food/pastries.

    I wanted to grab a quick lunch and found this cafe/sandwich spot. It looks like a small business…read morewhich I prefer over franchise establishments. I'm always looking for new small businesses to support, so I was rooting for a positive experience. I'm very picky when it comes to how my sandwich is prepared. I hate dry sandwiches! I ordered the Turkey, Bacon and Avocado and my husband got the hot pastrami sandwich. When we received our order, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the sandwiches. After taking my first bite, I got that mmmmm good feeling throughout my body! The sandwich was juicy, just how I like it. They have some kind of secret garlic sauce that they toss in with the lettuce, which was a nice touch and delicious!!!! It taste speciality made with love. I also tried my husband's pastrami sandwich and it was good too. I ended up ordering one to go for dinner because I'm greedy. The owner and staff were so attentive and welcoming to everyone coming in and out. It was extremely clean and comfortable. I also ordered the Apple Cinnamon cake, and it melted in my mouth. It was so good, with the right amount of sweetness. Another plus side is, there is parking in the back which was super convenient. No more door dashing those other sandwich places, Rosie's is my go to now!

    The best place in town for a cappuccino. Truly! The place is adorable, the staff is wonderful!…read moreThe food is delicious. Their sandwiches are incredible and their coffee selection is incredible. Don't snooze on this place.
