They also have an outdoor area, but it was raining so no outdoors. I order the crab Benedict with avocado. The bread had crispy edges which I love! The hollandaise sauce had a tangy delicious taste. My hash browns were made to perfection with crispy hash on top! The portion was so big - I was only able to eat half of the plate. The pancakes were as big as the plate! (Edges were my favorite!)

We decided to visit Breakfast Club at Midtown Lafayette after hearing so many glowing reviews. I…read moreknow they have several locations throughout the Bay Area, but since we were in Lafayette, we figured we'd finally give this one a try. We arrived around 11:30 a.m on Monday. There was only one party ahead of us waiting to be seated, and it didn't even appear that they had been acknowledged. About two or three minutes later, a gentleman came over, asked how many were in their party, and seated them. We then waited another five minutes before the bartender finally looked over and asked, "Have you been helped?" We replied, "No." He asked how many were in our party, whether we preferred inside or outside seating, and then seated us inside. After sitting for about 10 minutes with no acknowledgment from the server, the bartender returned and took our order. I had two very simple modifications to my meal. I repeated them a couple of times just to make sure they were noted, as they were nothing complicated. I simply didn't want two ingredients that normally came as garnishes. The bartender read my order back, confirmed the modifications, and walked away. About 35 minutes later, our food finally arrived, but we still hadn't received our beverages. I politely asked another server, who had yet to acknowledge us once during our visit, if we could please get our cappuccino. He brought over a regular coffee instead. I politely explained that we had actually ordered a cappuccino. He seemed irritated but said, "Fine, I'll go get it for you." Unfortunately, my food wasn't prepared correctly despite the bartender repeating the order back to me. Even more disappointing, my entire meal was ice cold. The scramble was cold, the toast was cold, and honestly, nothing on the plate was warm. What made the experience even more frustrating was that there wasn't a single opportunity to mention any of this. The bartender never came back. The server never checked on us. Even the person who delivered our food never returned to ask how everything was. We were essentially forgotten after our meals were dropped off. I genuinely hate writing negative reviews because I work in customer service myself and understand firsthand how overwhelming the service industry can be. I completely understand getting busy. What I don't understand is completely ignoring your guests. Even when you're overwhelmed, acknowledging customers and checking in, even briefly, makes a huge difference. Looking back, I probably should have taken the condition of the restaurant as a warning sign. When we walked in, there were numerous tables inside that still had dirty plates, cups, and leftover food from previous guests. The outdoor patio looked the same. What surprised me most was that many of those same tables were still covered in dirty dishes when we left. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I was expecting much more than what we experienced. We spent over $50, received cold food, an incorrect order, waited an unusually long time for drinks, and never had a single opportunity to let anyone know because no one ever checked on us. It was honestly a very disappointing experience, especially after hearing such positive things about this restaurant.

It's a very good restaurant and they treat you very well. I recommend them for the delicious food…read morethey have

The breakfast mac & cheese with bacon is another favorite and always hits the spot. And don't even get me started on the desserts, they're next level. I also love the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

It's casual, comfortable, and consistently one of my favorite places in Lafayette. Highly recommend!

Our go-to morning spot after a walk for years now. Lafayette Public House nails the coffee shop…read morebasics and then some. Plenty of espresso drinks, freshly brewed coffee with cheap refills, and a pastry case that always has something worth grabbing. The breakfast menu holds up too. Avocado smash on sourdough and the farm fresh egg sandwich are both solid picks if you want more than a pastry. The space is the real draw. Indoor seating if you want quiet, plus a big covered patio out back with string lights, wine barrel tables, and heaters for the colder months. It's a pleasant place to sit and talk without feeling rushed. A few tips if you're heading over: get there early for the best seats, and street parking out front is free until 10am. After that you're hunting. Kitchen closes at 2pm, so plan accordingly. I've only ever come for the morning routine, but they've got a full bar with craft cocktails, draft beer from local breweries like Fieldwork and Altamont, and wine by the glass. The evening side is on my list. If you live in the area and don't have a regular coffee spot yet, make this it.

The inside of the café is magnificent, but since it was such a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside, which was just amazing. The seating was very comfortable, and our food was brought out promptly. Thank you for the wonderful service and hospitality. We look forward to visiting again soon!

I was looking for a brunch place in Walnut Creek and found The Hangout. After entering, I was…read morepleasantly surprised to see that it was Brunch + Asian Fusion. There were so many items that I wanted to try, but I only had one stomach. Came here on a Thursday morning and the restaurant was operating at around 20% capacity. The food: Garlic Noodle with Crispy Chicken - Garlic Noodles were tasty. The Crispy Chicken had really nice, almost tempura like batter. Wish it had a little sauce or something to bring it all together. Berry Lover Toast - Two large pieces of French Toast with a blueberry based inside, topped with a ton of stuff including sliced almonds, corn flakes, powdered sugar, sliced grapes and some thinly sliced oranges. There's a lot going on here. I did like the strawberry preserves as a topper - it seemed homemade and it wasn't too sweet. I didn't try any of my friend's Country Potatoes, but they looked legit. Good service and plenty of nearby parking. Properly named, as this is a good place to Hangout!

It's always such a relief when a server understands dietary restrictions and takes the time to make thoughtful recommendations. I ended up ordering the burger with gluten-free fries, since the chicken dishes contained garlic, and I'm so glad I did. The burger was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a cocktail made with Nolet's Gin, pineapple, and another ingredient I can't quite remember. It was garnished with a dehydrated pineapple slice and was light, refreshing, and full of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and said it was perfect. He made sure to saved room for dessert and thoroughly enjoyed the bread pudding. From the attentive service to the delicious food and relaxing patio atmosphere, everything about our visit was excellent. We will definitely be back and highly recommend dining here!
