    Banana bread matcha (now)
    Isabela L.

    This cafe is one of the best in Walnut Creek! The staff is always so sweet and welcoming. The only thing I would mention is that their matcha recipe seems to have changed recently which I'm so bummed out about. It's still a good matcha, but the milk to matcha ratio is pretty inconsistent (I've noticed the drinks often look different colors now from one visit to the next) Overall, it's still a great cafe that I'd recommend!

    Maple matcha
    Sandra V.

    I love coming here. The vibe is very chill, staff are nice and friendly. My favorite drink is their maple matcha. It's flavorful and smooth. For pastries I love their crumb donut. The size is perfect, just to get a sweet in. Sorry, I ate it before taking a picture. There's plenty of seating inside and out. It gets packed, worth the wait.

    Iced Americano and Pumpkin Chai Spice
    Cynthia P.

    We decided to go to Rooted Coffee to get some work done and try out their drinks! It is located across a parking garage (1st hour free, 1.25 for each hour after). There is also street parking! We arrived around 2 and luckily got a table as soon as we got there. The WiFi is located near the register. WiFi worked well for us today! As for the drinks, we ordered an iced Americano and a pumpkin spice chai latte with almond milk. The coffee wasn't as strong as we'd hope for, but it was decent! The pumpkin spice chai latte was super heavy on the cinnamon or nutmeg. A bit too much spice. It tasted spicy. Overall, the vibes were great! It was a great atmosphere to get stuff done. I would come back to try other drinks and their food. I like how this is a plant based cafe as I am not a dairy girl! 10/10 experience, 7/10 drinks!

    Iced Matcha Latte with Ube Cold Foam
    Pedram B.

    Was looking for a nice place to work with good drinks and came across this place. The staff is friendly and there is a decent amount of space to work (just a lack of outlets). I got the iced matcha ube latte and was impressed with the sweetness level and quality of the drink. I'd come back.

    Avocado toast
    Cristina M.

    Finally made it to this place on this beautiful warm day to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and try their food here. It's a cute place, plenty of seating inside, cozy industrial modern vibe - they also sell their shirts. I got the sunshine wrap which was huge, two people can share it and I thought it was average tasting. It came with balsamic on the side that was tasty; I added sriracha and that gave it a nice kick and a fresh lemonade which I also thought was average, and my daughter had the avocado toast. We sat outside in their cute street patio that had plenty of seating which was great. I should mention that after we got in line, the line got longer and was still that way even after we got our food but with people in line, I had to kind of weave through people to go in and out to grab our drinks and get napkins and go back for more sriracha and weave myself back through the line to get back out to the patio. I can tell customers in line were annoyed because of people weaving through them so may be a good idea to have a definite 'line only' to make it easier for people to get in and out of the place and those in line to be just in line without people cutting them every second.

    Oat milk macchiato and espresso
    Felix W.

    I got an espresso and an oat milk macchiato. The espresso had a nice layer of crema but was burnt and lacked body. Could've been the late hour (came in around 3:40 PM and they close at 4) but still, not what I was hoping for. 2/5 The macchiato was decently well executed. The oat milk masked the burnt edge a bit, but overall nothing stood out. 3/5. Based on the reviews I was a little disappointed, I might give it another try if I'm in the area well before closing time.

    Their summer special cold brew with a strawberry vanilla cold foam on top
    Brian G.

    After an amazing Brazilian steakhouse lunch in Walnut Creek, we decided to stroll through downtown and find a good coffee spot--and wow, did we luck out with this place. We're big coffee lovers, so we always keep an eye out for unique local cafés, and this one immediately stood out. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting. You could feel the thought and personality behind every detail--from the merchandise and posters to the design--like everything had "roots," grounded and intentional. It created a really special, authentic vibe. The service was awesome. We weren't sure what to order, so we asked the cashier for a recommendation. I said I was leaning more toward a strong coffee flavor, and he recommended their cold brew with strawberry vanilla cold foam--and let me tell you, it was perfect. Refreshing, balanced, and exactly what I didn't know I needed. It's always great finding new coffee spots, but this one might just become a regular stop. If you love coffee and good vibes, this place is a must.

    As always rooted never disappoint me, the friendliness, the customer service, the ambience, the food and the drinks worth the walk, worth the drive, worth the long lines too. I picked up couple items well three of them!! Cortado with almond milk just because, couple freshly bake goods, you cannot go wrong with them because their bake goods are freshly made "reason why I love Rooted" that is my way to go if I am drinking an americano or in this case a cortado, it is a huge plus for me and also because it is vegan and gluten free. The chocolate chip melts in your mouth on the first bite you can feel the chocolate chip melted and how easily breaks with the first bite The poopie seeds lemon muffin, chewy, soft, you can taste the lemon flavor in the muffin not overpowering in sugars or flavors it is just right! My parents and I love their bake good so does the drinks

    Drinks in the market
    Danielle D.

    Maybe I am bias but this place was just what I didn't know I needed to find. I recently became dairy free and having been a vegetarian for 18 years, I was jazzed to find this vegan haven. I have been to their cafe in PH but really enjoyed checking out their market items. They have a great selection of food, snacks galore, and beverages in addition to their cafe menu. I was also beyond excited to finally enjoy a DF PSL this season! Although I absolutely loved the maple matcha. I also grabbed some baked goods to share with the family- which were all tasty. Will for sure be returning! Also thank you to the friendly worker who was patiently taking my order :)

    It was very busy here at 1pm on a Friday. Parking was an unpleasant experience as there's not much of it and quite a bit of traffic. This establishment lets in pet dogs which was not advertised clearly-- so unfortunately it's not really a safe spot for service dogs. It's also not so accessible. Most of their tables are bar height with tall stools. I ordered a matcha latte. The service was friendly. It took quite a while for the drink to be ready, though. Matcha latte tasted relatively good, not too savory nor too sweet.

    Hunny lavender Matcha and Orange Rosemary Matcha  with oat milk
    Chastity V.

    Love supporting this local family business and their delicious drinks! A friend from the peninsula was visiting WC and we wanted coffee, so I took him here to try something unique to the area. We got the Hunny Lavender Matcha and the Orange Rosemary Matcha with oat milk, which had light matcha flavor with pleasant additional sweetness of the added flavors, and we loved them both instantly on the first sip. Service was friendly and helpful. There is seating inside and it's a nice space to hang out with a friend or relax or work solo.

The hygiene alone should be enough to make anyone turn around and walk out. The employee working the front repeatedly coughed into his hands, rubbed his nose, sneezed, then immediately went back to handling customers' utensils, napkins, and food-related items without washing or sanitizing his hands. It happened over and over again. It was honestly disgusting to watch. Basic food safety should never be optional. Then came the bill. Three items. One tiny crepe, one madeleine, and one quiche. Nearly $50. I actually thought there had been a mistake. The crepe was embarrassingly small, and the chicken inside was some of the worst I've had. It was dry, stringy, chewy, and tasted incredibly cheap. There was absolutely nothing fresh or high quality about it. The portions were tiny, the quality was poor, and the prices were completely disconnected from reality. My husband was born and raised in France, and we've spent plenty of time eating at cafés and bakeries there. This isn't even remotely comparable. It's an overpriced imitation that relies on the idea of being French instead of delivering food that's actually worth eating. If you're going to charge premium prices, then deliver premium quality, proper food safety, and an experience that justifies it. This place failed on every one of those fronts. We won't be back, and I genuinely can't understand why this place has the reputation it does.

The Portuguese omelette I ordered was so water logged that it fell apart after the first taste. I noticed the avocado pit still attached to a piece on my mother's dish. Overall we enjoyed the experience, but my father only ate some of his food. The irony of it is that he shared some with me and I would have ordered it...haha. It must have been an off day, and for once I didn't order my usual breakfast dish (sausage scramble). They are a good family run business, and we will continue to return. Hope they slow down a little next time to work on some more details to make all the dishes solid.
