A great pick me up spot for something refreshing, a caffeine fix, or something sweet! My favorite here is the Chocolate Thunder! Be warned that the regular size comes with 2 shots of espresso and the large size comes with 4 shots of espresso. I recently started adding the strawberry foam to it and it elevated it so much. The strawberry foam is rich in taste and not too sweet so it balances out the chocolate and coffee perfectly. If I'm looking for something refreshing I go for the Sweet Basil or Pearfection. Both with an in-house made purée that add a great taste to the tea lemonades. They also offer add ons at an extra charge: chamoy, tajin, mango star jellies. They also have a variety of quesadillas that are made with a handmade flour tortilla and all pressed in a panini press which gives it a nice crunch. My favorite is the turkey one which comes with a jalapeño cheddar cream cheese that gives it a little kick. The pastries vary from day to day but if you see cinnamon rolls I suggest you get one! They're so fluffy and not too overly sweet like the typical ones. Staff is welcoming and friendly. They always answer questions and suggest different drinks/pastries depending on what you like. Located inside the community center with some seating available. There is a parking lot so parking is easy. read more

I ordered a Banana Chocolate Chip Latte, while my friend ordered a Carrot Cake Matcha. My latte was delicious and sweet, though a bit stronger than I prefer. The cold foam helped balance the flavor after mixing, but didn't last very long. My friend's Carrot Cake Matcha was smooth and lightly spiced, with a subtle sweetness. I would definitely come back and give it another try. read more

Lemon Gals - Banana Chip Latte and Carrot Cake Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Pablo, California

Stopped by Lemon Gals for a little afternoon pick-me-up! We tried the Matcha After No Sugar, Dulce de Leche, Tiramisú, and the Banana Extravaganza. We added two shots of espresso for an extra kick. The thick mascarpone topping in the Tiramisu was next-level creamy and paired perfectly with the espresso. Next time we're definitely getting the Mexican Mazapán drink, now that we know it's gluten-free so my wife can enjoy it too. The pastries are just as worthy of the spotlight and worth a return trip on their own. The girls working there were super sweet and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. A perfect little treat stop. I'll definitely be back! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The owner and workers are so rude. They have a terrible attitude and change the prices of everything if they don't like you. The food is mid but their attitude made it worse. The owner and bigger girl with glasses shouldn't have a business. read more

Lemon Gals is located inside the San Pablo Community Center. You can't miss it going through the front entrance. I could see that the drink/food prep areas looked clean and well-maintained. Signage was appealing and clear, and the small decor pieces gave the place a nice touch without overcrowding the counter space too much. I ordered a regular size iced Olla with almond milk. The lady running the place at the time was polite and explained to me what an Olla was first before I ordered it. The latte tasted great, wasn't too sweet, and gave me caffeine fix I needed. I also tried one of the alfajores which literally melted in my mouth. It had the perfect ratio of cookie to filling, and had a gentle sweetness to it that was really satisfying. I don't usually like shortbread-style desserts, but the ones from Lemon Gals are an exception for me. Prices are a bit steep for certain items, but the quality makes up for it. There's a bunch of other items on the drink menu and food/dessert menu that looked appealing, so I'd definitely come back. read more

Here to update my review. Unbelievable UNBELIEVABLE . gorditas are now discontinued?!? Why the hell would they do this to the TOP SELLER ?!?! read more

Drinks are super tasty I love the variety of coffee drinks and a non coffee drinks. Everyone is always extremely nice and welcoming. Only wish they were open on Sundays and earlier than 9am! Regardless it's a great treat when they are open and glad it's walking distance from home! The Dubai Chocolate cinnamon role is everything.. literally crave it all week but no where do they offer it but at Lemon Gals. Highly recommended! Spend your money at a local spot and guess what everything here is actually super good and great quality. Can't beat that. read more

I have 1 word. GORDITAS My boyfriend and I were recommended this place for coffee..but honestly we come back for the Gorditas. Just 2 are enough to fill me enough. The dough is sooo soft and fluffy. I love the cheese and the salsa they use reminds me of my grandma's. The coffees are pretty good too and we've have some pastries..but..GORDITAS Once again this is their standout item. It is located inside the San Pablo community center and there is little seating. Probably more of a grab and go type of place. Can't wait to come back for another gordita read more

3.5 stars PRO TIP: for any of you who like to get your boba drinks with a sugar level of 75% or below...ADJUST THE SUGAR LEVEL. Lemon Gals is located in a community center...so be sure you know that before hand or else you will think your GPS is lying to you. I wanted to love Lemon Gals, but I think their coffee might be aimed at a different audience. I stalked their menu prior to my visit and all of their latte flavors sound very intriguing. I decided to get the iced dulce de leche latte and made the mistake of not trying it until I was very far away. The barista was HEAVY HANDED when it came to the amount of sugar in my drink. I hope they can adjust the sugar level without taking away all the flavor. I am willing to come back, assuming they can adjust the sugar level. read more

I keep meaning to take a picture of their Gorditas but they're soooo good I just devour them! I add cheese to mine and order 2 to hold me over for my shifts. They're delicious and savory! I have tried a few drinks, but the Strawberry Mint Iced Tea Lemonade is my current favorite! I plan on trying everything on the menu at some point The Lemon Gals are so welcoming and quick! I really wish I could make it in more often. If you haven't dropped by, make a stop! read more

I found this hidden gem on Yelp when I needed a latte for an early morning appointment in Richmond on my way back to Alameda. This quaint coffee place is located inside a local community center. Luckily, the Yelp address has been updated and is accurate. My Ola Latte was darker than I saw on other portrayed Yelp reviews but I ordered with oat milk so I don't know if that makes a difference. They were out of most pastries at this hour --1pm. I love tres leches and I got a take home box. It wasn't the best I ever had but it was decent. It's out of direction so probably won't seek out this place again but it was a good coffee shop. read more

I have been here twice now. Both times have been good. Came here with some of my coworkers. I ordered the mazapan drink. I usually always order my drinks iced but tried the hot mazapan. IMO it tastes better hot. I also tried the concha and I liked that it was soft and fresh. The second time I came was with my little sister. She ordered the strawberry lemonade and she really liked it. I ordered the pecan tres leches cupcake and it was not the best.... But everything else that I have tried has been good. read more

Yum, but I wish they were a little hotter in temp. It was just under my ideal temp. The Maple Spice seasonal drink was delicious

My most recent choice of caffeine addiction. This place is in a community center and has a couple of tables to do work but it's very quiet and I'm not even sure they have music. Baristas are always warm and welcoming, my go to drink used to be the Chocolate and Thunder but switched to the Tiramisu which was so popular it became an addition to the set menu. Desserts are always good and in my opinion are a little on the sweeter side so keep that in mind. Pro tip, they sometimes try out new specials and are very active in updating through their Instagram page "Lemon.gals" and will notify if operating at different hours instead of their usual schedule. read more

Don't pass this place up! They are located inside of the San Pablo Community Center and have a parking lot or street parking. When I went there was plenty of parking. Enter the building and they will be on your left! Gorditas are available almost every day except Fridays are birria nachos! At least for right now in July 2022. Super lovely humans running this spot and you can feel the love in every sip and bite. They have a few types of pastries in the cold case for your choosing and one or two savory snacks as well. The gorditas were so tasty and the perfect snack! I got everything on mine and it was ooey, gooey, and flavor central in my mouth! It is messy and worth it in every way! The creamy and flaky pastry I got was light and refreshing, not to mention pretty too! I got a hot olla latte and it hit the spot. All of their drinks look good from lemonade to lattes! I can't wait to come back, checkout the community events, and support this local business. read more

What a hidden gem! It took a few tries for us to find this place which is nestled inside the community center. It was really nice to find a coffee shop with such unique options~ We weren't familiar with their menu and the workers there kindly answered all our questions. We ended up getting a hot olla latte (Mexican style coffee with piloncillo sugar and cinnamon), sweet basil (peach purée) tea lemonade, and pear-fection (pear and rosemary purée) tea lemonade. They were all so flavorful and not overly sweet! We also tried their flavor bomb gorditas with stretchy cheese, spicy pork, beans, and crisp tortilla edges~ which were so delicious and makes for a perfect snack. I wish I took photos of everything but we inhaled everything too quickly ~ maybe next time :) This place is definitely worth visiting and we can't wait to go again the next time we're in the area! read more

Happy as a clam! Great service! Friendly & prompt. I came for a Gordita & also got a warm arroz de leche, and received a complimentary cream puff. Loved the drink, it reminded me of a horchata, just a bit different. Not sure how to explain it. Not too sweet and slightly cinnamon-y. If ur not into milk drinks there's plenty of lemonades & teas also. Cream puff was airy & crispy on the outside, also not to sweet which I like. Gordita was yummy, cheesy, beans, potatoes, and a chili or salsa, not sure which but it was good. Don't expect anything huge, it's definitely jus a nice little snack. Very affordable! read more

My new favorite go to local coffee shop! They have a great variety of hot and iced coffee drinks with unique flavors! I tried the dulce iced latte and it was perfect! I love sweet coffee and theirs was very sweet! They also have snacks and desserts. The cheesecake was FIRE! I definitely want to try the cinnamon rolls next time! Be careful when coming for the first time because it is a little easy to miss. It is located inside the community center that is literally next door to a highschool. There is a banner in the parking lot though and there is plenty of parking! The staff are very kind and we had a lovely conversation! So excited to come back again soon! read more

What a find!! I had heard about this place and decided I had to try it with so many 5 star reviews! It's a cute, simple, unpretentious place located inside the San Pablo Community Center. While driving by, you have to watch for the small San Pablo Community Center sign or you will miss it. It is clean, spacious and airy inside and during this current Covid-19 crisis, you can easily sit 6 ft away from people. The girl behind the counter was very sweet, patient, and took her time to explain everything. They specialize in several flavors of refreshing lemonade and also sell snacks. I got there a little after 1:00 pm and they had already sold out of many items because their food is good and known to the local community. Was disappointed to find they had sold out of tres leches cupcakes, which is a specialty of theirs. But I was lucky enough to get the last of the Gorditas, which were made on HOMEMADE flour tortillas, with pinto beans, potatoes, chili meat, sour cream and cheese. I was hungry so I ate one right then and there and although the Gorditas are a little small in size, they are delicious and make a perfect snack. I just had to buy the remaining Gorditas to bring home! I also got the Mexican chocolate coffee drink which was a perfect blend, not too sweet and just the right amount of everything I like. I'll have to go back another day but earlier in the day to snag some of the tres leches cupcakes before they sell out. That would be a good excuse to try their birria nachos too. They make the Gorditas and birria nachos on certain days so it would be wise to check their website or call them in advance to see what they have that day. read more

Great Service!! Delicious Drinks!! Love to support local businesses!! Highly recommend going to Lemon Gals!!

What a cute little hidden gem in San Pablo, in my neighborhood! Not only is this a unique cafe, but it is owned by 4 latinas! My friend just told me about this place that has an assortment of tasty lemonades and Gorditas! Not the Taco Bell kind, not pupusas, but gorditas, Mexican gorditas. My friend said that these were pretty comparable to my Mexican moms gorditas she had once upon a time. We came here on a Friday after work for gorditas but were crushed when we found out that they only sell gorditas Monday thru Thursday and Saturday, Friday they actually have a different special: birria nachos! We were sad that they didn't have gorditas but quickly turned our frowns upside down when we had a taste of the delicious, spicy, authentic birria over some beans, cheese, salsa, jalapeños and chips. We didn't get a beverage, instead we opted for some dessert: tres leches cupcake and a Maria's pineapple cup. I am a sucker for tres leches and Maria's. These two were so unique, sweet, and satisfying. I am so glad this business exists not only in my neighborhood but in this community center next to a school. I wish more people knew of it. I will be sure to share with my yelp community, family and friends. I shall return to try the gorditas and some lemonade. read more
