I'm sad to have to drop by my rating. I honestly can no longer give the shop a 5-star review…read more While their cupcakes are still really good and I can give stars for good cupcakes, I have to lower the rating for customer service because I recently had a really challenging time trying to order a cake from the Walnut Creek branch. Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.

It's been awhile, I love coming back. The desserts alone are magnificent. They make their tiramisu…read moreso it was tough choosing a different dessert. The pistachio pastry we got did not disappoint. It was delish. We ordered a latte and their Havana latte was recommended. I loved the Havana latte, one of the best lattes I've had. It was flavorful but not super sweet as it has condensed milk. We ordered and paid at register both the cashier and barista were super friendly and polite. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It's a large coffee shop, also serves alcohol. I've had their espresso martinis in the past and one of my favorites. We just had wine and we were looking for a place to have dessert. There's plenty of table and booth seating.

Apparently, spending nearly $20 on an egg sandwich and iced tea qualifies you as a customer--but…read morenot enough of a customer to sit in a chair with a back. I worked from the barstools for about an hour and a half. After the breakfast rush had passed, I noticed plenty of open tables along the wall. Since I had thrown out my back this week and desperately needed more support, I moved to one of them. The sign said the table was reserved for up to two hours for customers who ordered food. Great--I had ordered food and had only been sitting there for about an hour. Nope. The same barista who took my order approached me to explain that the table was reserved for customers who ordered food. When I reminded her that I had, she asked what I ordered--as if she hadn't personally rung me up. She then told me I needed to return to the backless barstool. I challenged this because it made absolutely no sense. There were plenty of open tables, I was a paying customer and I was within the posted two-hour limit. She simply repeated that it was the policy. To be clear, the problem isn't that the policy was poorly communicated. The policy should not exist in the first place. Kicking a paying customer out of an empty chair and directing them back to a barstool is a horrible business model that lacks basic respect and hospitality. I left angry, embarrassed and regretting the money I spent here. I will absolutely not be returning.

Living the…read moreGluten-Free Life is no picnic but she makes the world without gluten just a tiny bit better by baking some amazing desserts. Do not miss her cronuts, her white chocolate macaroons (not the French style) and her cupcakes. Oh man, her cupcakes!! Anyhow, not everything is gluten-free but everything is delicious...truly delicious! Up until now, I had not found a pastry chef that could make gluten-free truly amazing so I am in heaven with YUM Dessert Bar. You can either pick up her stuff at Lettuce Restaurant and Catering or order her treats via DoorDash. Your sweet tooth will thank you!

I have been here twice so far. The first time we hosted a large gathering in the private room, and…read morethe entire experience was outstanding. Chef Hassan created a customized menu for our group, and every dish was beautifully prepared. I ordered the Beef Wellington, well, because there was absolutely no reason not to when that's on the menu! HA! It was incredible. The flaky dough wrapped around that filet mignon, ooh, amazing. It sat on creamy potatoes and veggies of some sort (it's been a minute, I can't recall the exact option). The private room was nicely lit, there were some candles and flowers across the table as well as wall decor. The server and busser took a little to get things rolling, but eventually things were moving along. We also had a few children in our party, and the staff was wonderful accommodating, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We were so impressed that we came back a second time - just my lady, my 6-month-old daughter, and myself - and it was on a busy Saturday night when you typically need reservations. We were lucky enough that Onur (manager) welcomed us with no hesitation and have us a little space to relax with our daughter and enjoy a wonderful dinner. We ordered the Appetizer for Two, which includes: Bruschetta, Caprese, Prosciutto Melone, & Beet Salad - a perfect amount for the two of us. Then we each got the Beef Wellington. Again, never a disappointment. YOU MUST TRY IT! To finish the night I had a latte and we shared a salted caramel gelato. Absolutely delightful. If you haven't tried La Fontaine, I highly recommend giving them a try. The weekends are busy, so if you're able to step out on a week night, do it. Ask for Onur the manager and he'll take care of you. Enjoy

I thought it was pretty good, though it doesn't take the place of my favorite flavor, which I had the next time. All in all, I think they have very good quality ingredients. Typical of a lot of boba spots, ordering is kiosk-based (at least the times I've been there) so you don't really interact with the employees much, but they seem professional and are working hard. The kiosk for ordering is easy to navigate. It's nicely decorated and comfortable inside, and there is some seating. Upbeat vibe and busy, central location. If I were in downtown Walnut Creek and was craving boba, this is where I would go.

I happened to be passing through Walnut Creek on my way home, so I decided to stop for some boba. I…read morehad never tried Mr. Green Bubble before so I figured I would give them a shot. I ordered a Mango Lychee Green Tea w/ Boba. The drink was prepared pretty quickly shortly after ordering. However, according to the picture in the kiosk menu, the drink was supposed to include lychee toppings. This unfortunately did not come fruition as my drink only contained the boba toppings that I paid extra for. The drink itself was extremely muted in flavor and tasted extremely diluted with only a hint of mango and absolutely no taste of lychee (probably because they forgot to add the toppings). You can either order at the counter or use any of their two self-service kiosks. The shop itself was pretty clean and there are plenty of seating if you decide to dine-in. They offer a uni-sex public bathroom was kept pretty clean when I visited.

The strawberry puree was nice and the amount of pearls you get was plentiful. The ratio of tea, milk and strawberries was also good. And they make the matcha from scratch. The worker was used a small bowl and a pestle/brush to make the matcha green tea for me, which was cool to watch. Overall, I did enjoy the drink. The green tea part definitely tasted like green tea matcha. I had a better second experience here, so glad I gave them another shot
