    Amazing little cafe. Great fresh sandwiches. Amazing customer service. What an absolute gem in Orinda.

    Hot Ham and Swiss on Sunflower Wheat bread
    Dararith L.

    I had the pleasure of visiting this charming sandwich shop for a quick bite and left quite impressed. The place looks like it's been around for quite some time. It is quaint, inviting, and very suitable for a casual walk-in. The service was friendly; considering it was my first time, they offered to do a sandwich remake free-of-charge if it wasn't to my satisfaction! I got the Hot Ham and Swiss sandwich on sunflower wheat bread, and it was a decision well-made. I really like their locally sourced bread -- truly standout. Altogether it was simple, well-toasted, and incredibly flavorful. Everything melted together, flavors were perfectly balanced making it easy to chomp down. Highly recommend this spot for anyone in search of a satisfying sandwich experience.

    Such a cute little cafe

    I enjoyed the beautiful ride to Orinda this morning. This was exactly what I needed, a yummy hot sandwich and a gigantic cup of fragrant green tea, to warm my belly on such a wet day! Service was greetings with a smile, you can never go wrong with that, love the outdoor seating with the course across the way, but it was way too wet. My sandwich was a ham, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese on some yummy bread. I refilled my tea 3x because I just love tea.

    Cookies and cream gelato

    I came here for the gelato today after work. It was perfect for a hot afternoon. I was warmly welcomed and offered to try samples of the different flavors. I was pleasantly surprised by the cookies and cream so I chose that one. It was very nice to sit next to the window with the view of the golf course and jazz music playing in the background. Overall warm and friendly vibes! I'll be coming back to try the sandwiches!

    Cup of soup (veggie) and half chicken Monterey
    Heather M.

    When you need a quick bite in Orinda, nothing beats the classic deli, Geppettos. Been there forever serving great coffee and quiche in the morning, and great lunches in the afternoon. My go-to is the Chicken Monterey on sunflower wheat bread - chicken breast, Dijon mustard, green chilis, lettuce, and jack cheese all toasted up. I usually get a half and get a cup of the homemade soup of the day. Today it was veggie- full of veggies and perfect on a cold day.

    Longtime customer of Geppetto's! I've gotten coffee drinks and food in the past. My go-to order now is the chicken pesto sandwich. It's tasty and a good amount of ingredients. This time, tried their lemonade. It was refreshing on a hot day!

    This place used to be ok , not anymore. AVOID I had a chicken taco salad that was a notch below taco bell. Tiny amount of little microscopic squares of what tasted like canned chicken. The sauce seriously tasted worse than taco bell. The chips were pedestrian low grade safeway chips. Save your money for something good.

    Mocha Frappe.
    Annie L.

    As often as I am in Orinda and have driven by, I've never had occasion to stop at this cute little caffe. The weather was very hot and I was wanting something cool and refreshing. I got a mocha frappe, one of my favorites and it was soooo delicious and refreshing. Bicyclers that bike the course along the SPD Reservoir often stop here and they say the smoothies are amazing. This place is run by a very nice family and the very friendly lady will make your drinks to your specifications. They have outdoor seating and are Covid responsible with hand sanitizers available as well as individually wrapped masks if their customers need them. They just resumed opening on Sundays again in addition to the other days. They also have sandwiches, salads, quiche, baked items and snacks. Take a tip from the bicyclers that stop here and say that the smoothies are amazing.

    Good place to grab a snack or coffee, but the service isn't the best quality but is cheaper than Starbucks so not a bad place to try

    I was just treated horribly at this restaurant this morning. I had a dermatology appointment nearby…read moreso I stopped here for some breakfast. The older Asian woman with the puffy surgery face took my order. Every time I ordered something that cost extra she said "thats's extra" after the third time she said "that's extra" I politely stopped her and smiled and I said "I know. You don't have to keep saying that." She paused and didn't say it again. She took my order. I asked for green tea. Then i realized I wanted it to go instead so I asked for a Styrofoam to go cup. The older woman with the dirty apron who cleans tables said okay. As she brought me the cup she dropped the lid on the floor in front of me. Picked it up and handed to me with a smile on her face. I know, I should of left but..... I ordered a breakfast scramble with breakfast sausage, 1 egg and 2 egg whites with avocado and a side of sour cream. I also ordered fresh squeezed orange juice and a side of fruit. And 1/2 Belgian waffle. What I received instead of a breakfast was horribly scrambled eggs with unmelted cheese old avocado and no breakfast sausage. When I told Ms. puff about the mistake she realized she made the mistake when taking my order. The hash browns looked good so I opted for a side of breakfast sausage instead. I tried to eat the food I order, but there was absolutely no flavor. None. I don't even use pepper. I tried it today tho lol. Nothing helped them eggs. And to make matters worse the breakfast sausage that was brought to me was dangerously undercooked. I was so mad I was seething with anger. Only thing removed from the bill was the breakfast sausage even though I spilled my orange juice by accident.

Not overly sweet like a lot of caramel drinks can be -- just perfectly balanced and really smooth. You can tell they actually care about their coffee. Of course I also had to try their empanadas since everyone talks about them. I got the beef and the chicken and they were SO good. The dough was soft and fresh, and the filling was super flavorful and meaty. Nothing dry or skimpy about them. Honestly this place feels like a new hidden gem in Lafayette. I've tried pretty much every café around here and this one is easily my favorite. Also love that this place is Latino-owned, which makes supporting them feel even better. Great coffee, amazing empanadas, and just an overall really good experience. I'm already excited to come back and try their matcha next time!

I always get the chorizo (they somehow make it NOT greasy and drippy), and you can get chicken-apple sausage instead if you're not a chorizo person. One of their specialties is their assortment of empanadas. If you're on the go, you can order it as is and heat it up in the toaster oven if there's one at your destination, OR have them toast it for you which takes 8-10 min. The coffees and agua frescas are also top notch. Service is 10/10- they make excellent suggestions based on what you like and what they're proud of that day, and the ambiance is cute and comfy!

    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.

They have plenty of seating, and one of the biggest advantages is their excellent Wi-Fi speed, which makes it a reliable spot for remote work or studying. The atmosphere is enjoyable as well. There's usually music playing or a sports game on the TV, creating a comfortable, laid-back environment without being distracting. Their food selection is also better than you'd expect from a coffee shop. In addition to coffee and pastries, they offer cakes, breakfast items, and a variety of other snacks and treats, so there's always something to pair with your drink. Their hours are convenient, making it easy to stop by throughout the day. The only area where I think there's room for improvement is cleanliness. I've noticed on several occasions that when I arrive shortly after opening--sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour--there are still crumbs on the chairs, tables, and floor, even when there haven't been many customers yet. First impressions matter, and the café should be fully cleaned and ready for guests before the doors open. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down their own tables before sitting. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it for the atmosphere, Wi-Fi, seating, and food options. With a little more attention to cleanliness before opening each day, it would be an even better experience.
