We savored the Locanda Salad, Fritto Misto, incredible focaccia from the Bread Basket, Arancini, Linguini Alle Vongole, Penne Alla Vodka, and the evening special: rigatoni with braised beef and sausage. Every dish was delicious! I'm still thinking about the Locanda salad; it was fabulous! We enjoyed dinner at the bar. The drinks were fantastic, Danny provided excellent service, and Renato and the rest of the staff made us feel right at home. IG: robinmwood

The amount of pastries they had was astonishing and they were all so good. The bakery smelled awesome! The coffee is still meh. I don't know it's just too weak and I don't like that. They don't have lids for the coffee cup and I really don't like that. You can sit outside and eat, but it was kind of cold. We got a scone which was fantastic but I would prefer no icing, a mini apricot kouign amann which was to die for and a regular kouign amann which had shattering sugar crust. Soooo good. I love the pastries, but I still think the coffee needs to be worked on.

Lafayette is such a gem of a place. While in the area, we stopped at this local spot on a beautiful…read more(and hot) day. We opted to not sit outside, rather inside right by the exterior seating to still get the vibes but also some AC. I love places like Lafayette where all the businesses support each other and help each other grow. Their brews on tap are mostly all local, and we grabbed some Pilsners sourced from Lafayette's new brewery, Western Flyer. So fresh and crisp. Can't wait to also check that spot out. Food-wise, we came in mid-afternoon and grabbed a Kale Pancetta salad (they pre-split the salad for us on two plates which was so nice), and for the mains, we both grabbed the Tuna Melt with fries. The salad was delicious. I'm def a tuna melt girly, and I loved the addition of the ciabatta (?) as the bread option, so fresh as well. This tuna melt comes with grapes fyi, and a few other elements mixed in. I absolutely loved it, just sharing though as I know how some tuna stans like their tuna :) This spot is clean, spacious, and perfectly situated in walking distance downtown. Would love to come back for brunch with a group of friends, or even again during the upcoming Lafayette Art & Wine Fest. Food is good, service is quick and friendly, and vibes are right. Metered parking located across the street.

The brownie was delicious, the breakfast sandwich was good, and the avocado toast could use a little seasoning. We went on a Saturday and it was quite busy, but the vibe and ambiance was nice.

The fam and I have been going to Likikoi since they've opened, mostly for convenience purposes…read more Started out amazing, but as we ordered more and more, there's been quite a bit of inconsistency. Will we get good or mediocre drinks today? Will our drinks be accurate or would we need to spend some more time to get our drinks fixed? Always a gamble, but hey, I do love to gamble (usually in a different setting lol). Sometimes the drinks are really good. The ones I've had the most consistencies are their house milk tea and their tropical fruit tea. Recommendation is to order everything as-is since if things (such as sugar level) are adjusted, it's most likely watered down. Luckily the drinks aren't way too sweet, but still a bit sweeter than I'd like, and I'd prefer a bit more tea flavor. My daughter has been big on their Thai tea, but after some inconsistencies with flavor, she's switched to their matcha horchata drink. Pretty good, and they have other kinds of drinks like that too. My son likes the house milk tea with lychee jelly, and the husband enjoys the Oreo drinks here, but they don't taste right in my opinion. I like their house milk tea, jasmine milk tea, tropical fruit tea, and once a while, their ube taro drink. On the safe side, I normally stick with tropical tea and house milk tea at this location. Props to Lilikoi for having some "unique" drinks such as mango almighty (mango smoothie with tajin and chamoy), various horchata drinks, and more. They seem to specialize more in the tropical fruit teas, so highly recommend for those.

Since I went close to when they first opened, I thought they would get the kinks worked out so I wanted to try again before I judged. I came today (2/4/2025) after a doctor's appointment. I noticed they have ube coffee on the menu. Unfortunately, the employees told me they were out of ube. I ordered the Thai milk tea with no ice at 50% sweet. Given the heavy rain and cold weather, I asked if they could make the drink hot and they said they don't do hot drinks. Really? Every boba spot I've been to in the 4.5 years I've lived in Contra Costa County - including Sharetea, Mr. Green Bubble, Teaspoon, and Yi Fang - offer hot drinks. Everywhere EXCEPT Lilikoi. As for the drink itself, I could taste the Thai tea flavor somewhat but it seemed a bit watered down. I've had better Thai milk tea elsewhere. The drink cost $5, which is less compared to other boba spots. But I'd rather pay a bit more for drinks that don't tasted watered down. I don't think I'll return, even if in the area.

You can order both food and beverages from the QR code at the table, or order at the window. We prefer the QR code, and always have a nice chat with our servers. We appreciate that there doesn't seem to be much turnover on the service side which means the business side must be pretty good! There are several choices for seating. A lot of firepits to warm on a cool day, and umbrellas to keep you cool on a hot day. Wherever you choose to sit, the vibe is great, and they have live music on certain days!
