My first time at this coffee shop and glad I stopped by! They have delicious specialty coffee!…read more The place is clean and plenty of seating. The staff are super friendly! This will be my "go to" coffee in Concord, CA It's funny how I have been in the area many times and never saw this place. It was recommended to us by our son and daughter in-law who was visiting. I will be back soon!

I was nextsoor having lunch, already saw this coffee shop the last time I was there…read more Wanted to try their coffee and americano . Also brought decaf beans. The dripped coffee tasted really good, strong coffee taste. The Iced Americano was great too, a slight tad of sour yet good. $21 for the bag of beans, pretty good. Will come again staff and baristas were friendly. Nice store, good for hanging out, working or just enjoying the day. Clean too. Parking was easy.

My only concern is that the internet seems to go down fairly often. We've experienced it several times over the past few months. Other than that, the overall experience has been very positive.

What Happened to the Choco Bun?…read more Plenty of free parking. When you walk in, grab a tray and window shop all the pastries. They individually wrap these so grab what you want and place it on your tray. Once you're finished, cruise up to the counter. Would I Come Back? Yes, I keep coming back. I use to come back for the Choco Bun, but if they've changed the recipe at all locations, I'll only be coming back for the Milk Bun and Nougat. Their Signature Item: Egg tarts are their signature item. If you've ever been to an Asian party, someone almost always brings a box of egg tarts from 85-Degrees. But on today's visit. Well, just look at the photo. Someone stepped away from the oven for about 6 minutes too long. Choco Bun ($2.55, Grade D): The Choco Bun has been my absolute go-to for years--the closest location to me is usually the South Sacramento store and I tell everyone they have to get it whenever they visit an 85°C. Unfortunately, it's been about 8 months since my last trip, and the Choco Bun is no longer something to write home about. Milk Bun ($2.05, Grade A+): If you've ever had their Milk Bun with the custard filling, the Choco Bun used to be very similar in texture. Now, it's flat with super dry edges. Not good at all. Luckily, I also bought a Milk Bun (my usual second favorite), and by default, it's now my number one because the Choco Bun was a complete bust. It's so fluffy and sweet. Melts in your mouth. Strawberry Banana Smoothie / no boba ($5.85, Grade F): It was incredibly artificial-tasting--nothing real about it. I only made it through a quarter of it before throwing the rest into the garbage. My fault for hoping for a "just picked" fresh fruit taste, but this was honestly one of the worst smoothies I've ever had. Nougat ($9.60, Grade A+): The bagged Nougat candy is fantastic. It's soft, gooey, and packed with what I'm guessing are pieces of pistachio. Delicious, but a fair warning if you have dental issues: these will wreak havoc on your teeth. It's not quite as sticky as a Starburst, but it could definitely pull out a denture! Bottom Line: The staff here is friendly, and there are still a few standout 5-star items that make a visit worth it (the Milk Bun and the Nougat). However, the disappointing recipe change to the Choco Bun and the absolute miss on the smoothie knock this down to a 3-star experience overall.

The Taro Milk and Passionfruit Tea were quite good. The two girls who work there seem to make them…read morebetter than other ShareTea locations. Service was accurate. Ambiance clean and nice. Parking was outside.

I'm excited to see Sharetea introducing new items on their menu, including a take on the classic…read moreHalo-Halo. It didn't take me long to give it a try. I also noticed that their prices seem to have dropped a bit--at one point, drinks were creeping up into the $9 range, which felt very steep. As for the Halo-Halo drink itself, I really like the concept. It's a taro-coconut milk tea loaded with toppings like boba, egg pudding, lychee jelly, and maybe a few others I forget. The drink was surprisingly not too sweet--which isn't a bad thing--but I personally would've preferred a sweeter flavor profile to better match the traditional Halo-Halo flavor. Still, the overall taste was nice and mellow. They also offer an "ice blended" version of the Halo-Halo, which I imagine might be closer to the real deal. I'm curious to try that next time.

Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

Came into Uji Time Dessert today and ordered their mochi, yuzu soft serve, mango matcha, and…read morepassion fruit slush--and everything was so good. Mochi: Soft and chewy, and the ice cream inside was delicious. Yuzu Soft Serve: Super creamy with the perfect hint of yuzu. I was expecting it to be a little more tart, but I honestly wasn't mad that it wasn't. The serving was huge too! I had to share because there was no way I was finishing that large cup by myself. Mango Matcha: Perfectly balanced. The mango didn't taste artificial at all, and neither flavor overpowered the other. Passion Fruit Slush: Usually my go-to when I want something refreshing, and theirs did not disappoint. The passion fruit flavor was perfectly balanced without tasting watered down, and the slushy ice texture was everything. They even add a passion fruit jam with actual passion fruit seeds in it. I was already so full, but I could not stop drinking it. Uji Time may seem a little pricey at first, but honestly, nothing disappointed and it was worth every penny. The staff were a little awkward and didn't seem very enthusiastic--they were pretty monotone and not particularly welcoming. But everything tasted fresh and well made, so I didn't let it bother me too much. Overall, I really enjoyed everything we ordered and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area!

Came by with the fam for an after dinner treat. We got some mochi, yuzu/sesame & chocolate soft…read moreserve. All were fantastic! The mochi was chewy on the outside with a nice, not too hard, ice cream on the inside. All three flavors of the soft serve were amazing...especially the yuzu! Tables are always dirty, which given the food being served, is understandable. Lots of seating inside plus a public restroom. The price is a bit high but totally worth it. Nice place to stop by for a little sweet treat

I was craving something fruity and refreshing after dinner, so we stopped by Teaspoon for a drink…read more I forgot the exact name of the drink I got, but I think it was a lychee black tea with lychee jelly. It was yummy and refreshing, exactly what I was craving for! We were one of the only customers there, so my drink came out right away. The price wasn't too bad either for a large drink!

I ordered the Caramel Brûlée Coffee with boba, which cost a little over $9. Unfortunately, it…read moretasted like watered-down coffee with an overwhelming amount of sugar and very little caramel flavor. Since I genuinely didn't enjoy it, I politely asked if they could remake it or let me exchange it for a different drink. Instead, I was told that if I wanted something else, I would have to purchase another drink. The only solution offered was $1 off a second drink, which was disappointing considering I had only taken one sip. At that point, I already knew the drink wasn't for me. As a customer, I wasn't expecting a refund. I simply hoped they would stand behind their product and provide good customer service. What disappointed me the most wasn't just the drink it was how the situation was handled. A small gesture, such as remaking the drink or allowing an exchange, could have turned a negative experience into a positive one and earned a loyal returning customer. Instead, I left feeling that customer satisfaction wasn't a priority. Sadly, because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this place to my friends, family, or clients.

The woman taking orders seemed friendly and we easily found a seat. I know there was a review that mentioned that finding a seat was difficult, but maybe it was the time we arrived or we simply got lucky. I ordered a hot matcha latte, sugar free and a frittata. I didnt wait too long for my drink at all. As a matter of fact, the barista was super fast! FYI: The restrooms are for customers only and it's All Gender Restrooms. You also need a code to get in so you'll have to ask an employee for the code.

I told them some jokes to make them smile or laugh while at work. Nice amount of space and it never seems overly crowded, especially when I go in there. A little bit further and in a different direction than I usually go, but nothing big or serious, so I will definitely return again.

There's no official indoor seating but we love sitting out on the covered patio. The vibes are always so pleasant. They're always coming out with new flavors, and everything we've tried has been delicious. The avocado toast is amazing, the green goddess is a favorite, and I love their chickpea salad to go too. The employees are always happy to see you and so friendly, and the other people you run into there are just as nice. They even have little toys for the kids, which is such a nice touch, especially in the weekends when the waits are longer (pro-tip: order online before going). Just a happy place to go for delicious coffee and food. Definitely a treat!

Got the bacon sausage cheddar crispy sandwich, and an iced mocha with extra mocha and no whip. The sandwich took just a few minutes to be ready. My iced beverage, about twice as long, which was still pretty quick. Everything was made well. A strong chocolatey flavor in my drink, as requested. And the sandwich was nice and cheesy, with savory sausage, bacon, and egg inside. The bacon was soggy, but I still enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The outdoor patio had a simple but inviting space for visitors, with table umbrellas for shade, which I took advantage of on this beautiful sunny day.

Towards the back there's a large conference style table and some couch chairs. By the entrance, there's a long table for personal seating as well as easily accessible outlets for charging your devices. The staff is very sweet and helpful. I brought my own cup and they were so kind to tell me that there's a $0.25 discount for using your own cup! I got the Iced Sparkling Passion Fruit Black tea. My Stanley is pretty large, but they offered to top off my cup with black tea at no charge since the drink is usually only sold in the size medium. I ordered it half sweet, but be sure to mix it around before you drink it. It's a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and refreshing!

We also got one cheese borek which was great! The Place is also a little steep - three coffees ( two were double espresso size ) and a pastry ran at $33 That said the staff were nice, enjoyed my coffee and glad we gave it a try
