February 2026 Got their peanut butter cold brew and their Mexican hot chocolate, and it was amazing. Who knew real homemade peanut butter syrup could be so good? They need to bottle and sell this. Can't wait for this place to open up more locations and share their coffee craft with the world!

What a fun spot to meet for coffee in Walnut Creek. Love experiencing new spots in the East Bay to connect to WiFi, have meetings, and cozy up on the laptop to get work done. Tellus Coffee has a nice space upon entry but also an even more intimate cool spot towards the back of the shop (with outlets too!) to meet/work. I ordered a Tuscan Avo Toast ($12) that came with sliced tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic fig reduction, lemon ricotta, avocado, and micro greens. Yum! The use of the lemon ricotta was chef's kiss. I also ordered a cold brew (Ethiopian light roast), and noticed a few items I would for sure come back for: the juice/smoothie menu, the Argentinian empanadas, and the White Chocolate mocha. Yum! I noticed there are puppucino cups & steamers for kiddos! Metered street parking can be found, although N Main is quite the busy street so allow a few additional minutes to find a spot.

Upon arriving, the cafe had such a cold and unwelcoming feeling. Pastries were displayed poorly.. 1 of each pastry displayed with the box of pastries visibly sitting on the counter as the employees were actively cleaning 2 hours before closing. Seeing the box of pastries, likely sourced from somewhere else was kind of a turn-off for me. Walking in here took me back to what it felt like when you walk into a tattoo & piercing shop on haight street lol. After receiving what felt like annoyed glares, we took a moment to look at the menu, and noticed they had juices and decided to try that out. However, I didn't realize they don't juice your drink on the spot. Instead it comes from a giant container where they've already juiced it. For some reason that was bummer for me since I spent $7 on this but I also acknowledge the juicing is a lot of work, so I understand why this is done in advance. I scored it quite low as it just felt strangely unhappy in there for some reason.. but the juice that I ordered was good. Maybe I could try this spot again, I will just hope that last Sunday was a bad day for the employees and that other days are usually better..

Super cute cafe! I absolutely love the decor and the vibe. Staff was friendly and you can see everything they're making behind the counter. I tried the mushroom empanada, chicken empanada and my husband got the cold brew. The empanadas were hot, slightly crunchy, and tasty! It came with a side of chimmichurri but it that didnt have much flavor. It's okay though because it didn't really need it! It had a lot of flavor already. My husband said the cold brew was good, strong and not super bitter.

Really loved the interior and service here, it really is such a vibe! Stopped in before work and found street parking easily out front. Was recommended the Burnt Honey latte and went with the recommendation. I've had Burnt Honey lattes before but just wasn't impressed. If you have a sweet tooth, I would recommend you to come here as their drink was on the sweet side. The honey flavor was very subtle, but so sweet. Coffee itself was okay and found my drink to be too watered down for my liking.

Gingerbread latte and Candy Cane specialty latte

Back to Tellus for the five-star coffee and to try more food! But before we get into it, we came back because we met the owner's Mom yesterday in Benicia. Odd? Yes! Awesome? Double yes! Mom told us that Tellus just opened a new location in Danville--which we look forward to trying since my brother lives there. It's about time Danville got a great, non-chain coffee shop! And Mom also told us that her daughter makes all the pastries for Tellus. (I wonder if they sell to Philz? As per my first review of Tellus, the pastries look the same!) So, after visit with Mom, we had to come back to the WC store today. And I FINALLY got the waffles! Hubby had a wild blueberry muffin, and we both had almond milk lavender lattes--half the normal syrup. My waffle is/was a delicious as it looks! Slightly crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside. Topped with fresh and sweet strawberries and blueberries, and what tasted like real maple syrup. W's muffin was "better than the average muffin" and he was very satisfied. He didn't give me a bite. In fact, I looked up after splitting the waffle in half, buttering my half, and pouring some syrup on my half, and that muffin was GONE! lol! He did get almost a full have of my waffle, and enjoyed it like I did. (No butter for my Hubby--what?!!) Happy to be back as always--we do like the cozy, speakeasy-style back room. And the friendly staff is always a pleasure.

Out of all the independent owned-and-operated coffee shops in the Walnut Creek (and Contra Costa County) area, I would have to tip my hat to "Tellus Coffee" as they are arguably one of my personal favorites on my list. Located in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek on N. Main Ave and adjacent to Cypress St., this very popular coffee shop has been serving delicious hot & iced beverages dating back to early-2021. And since I had other shopping to do at nearby Broadway Plaza (only a 5-minute walk from here), what better way than to get fueled up on delicious coffee and a bite to eat to start my day. I came here with my lady during the morning of Friday 7/4/2025 at around 9:25am. Since it was a holiday, all street parking did not require payment as we were able to park right across the street. Even though it was a holiday, the business was thriving with customers. The hours are accommodating but don't come too early as they open daily at 8am (9am on Sunday) while closing for the day at 4pm. Before I talk about what's on the inside, the exterior of the building showcases a traditional brick wall design complete with the business name in a very classic green oval trim. As for the interior layout, this place exemplifies what a coffee shop should look like; bright, open, airy, inviting, and quite dazzling with a ton of greenery displayed along the rear wall. The green trim continues along the walls surrounding the coffee bar area while at least a dozen green lights hang from the ceiling. Finally, they offer ample seating complete with leather chairs, loveseats, and booths to truly maximize your coffee tasting experience. Much of the coffee is grown and sourced from around the world; places such as Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, and Indonesia. Here, they specialize in a ton of custom-made lattes (with a nice assortment of syrups), espresso drinks (in hot or iced form), pour overs, loose-leaf teas, juices, and smoothies. And as for the food selection, they have a great variety of pastries, bagels, baked goods and croissants as well as more filling items such as empanadas, waffles, overnight oats, breakfast sandwiches, and avocado toasts. And if you decide on coming later in the day, they also offer traditional sandwiches as well as a nice assortment of beer and wine. After looking at the menu (prior to coming here), I ended up ordering an iced "Brown Sugar Date Latte" complete with their "Avocado Toast". The toast itself uses whole grain Levain bread with a mashed avocado, Harissa red chile paste, chickpeas, sprouts, and pickled onions complete with a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette. Total cost after tax + tip came to around $25. My drink arrives in just a couple minutes and had the perfect consistency of bitter and sweet. Meanwhile, the avocado toast was made to perfection as every place I've eaten at has their own unique twist on it. Tellus Coffee is no exception as this was above average. My lady even loved her drink/food as she ordered a hot "Cafe Vanilla Latte" and a "Kouign Amann" pastry; think of it as a croissant with strawberry glaze and cream cheese. Overall, this is a legit coffee shop that I highly encourage anyone to try out. Their menu is modern, eclectic, and progressive as many of their food items are exclusively made with ingredients that you don't normally find at your basic coffee house. With exceptional customer service, great tasting coffee & bites, an aesthetically pleasing yet cozy interior, and a perfect location in the heart of Walnut Creek, I am giving "Tellus Coffee" a perfect five star rating.

Krysten H.

Great service, good and coffee! Ample amount of seating and parking, loved that there was a back section to eat and conversation with a little bit more privacy. Loved all the food and drink options, staff were all friendly and helpful. Great area to eat and walk around, Will definitely be back.

A coffee shop that embodies fall, with its brick walls and surrounding autumn leaves. I ordered a lavender latte with fat free milk - hot of course, to match the fall vibes - and it was amazing. This spot was recommended by a local and the coffee, music, and seating did not disappoint.

Felix W.

I got an espresso and a coconut milk macchiato. Both were solid. The espresso had mild acidity, creamy texture, and a good crema layer. More complex flavor profile would have made it even better. 4/5 The coconut milk macchiato added good texture and a touch of sweetness. Depending on your preferences, oat or almond might have been a better match because the espresso is already quite good. 4/5. Would stop by again if in the area.

Alyssa C.

Delicious drink and hearty breakfast sandwich! The chai was sweet and flavorful. The sandwich was generous with the bacon and sausage.

Matt G.

Great coffee shop in the heart of Walnut Creek that offers some fire coffee and some delicious food. Got the cold brew coffee and chicken empanadas when we stopped here, and both were delicious. The atmosphere is cool and has a hip vibe. Service was nice and friendly. Highly recommend if your in the area.

This is a great, new coffee shop in downtown Walnut Creek! I ordered the cortado and it was nice and strong. The only deceptive part of this was that the menu mentions that the cortado is 8 oz but the actual drink was about 4 oz only in an 8 oz cup. I was expecting an 8 oz drink similar to a short latte but otherwise, this place is great with an amazing ambience. I will definitely be back. read more

When are the other reviews said that they are bar none one of the best lattes around. Let's just generalize and say one of the best cafes around. Tellus is def in its own tier of excellence combining aesthetic, spaciousness, quality drinks, fresh baked goods from Starter (btw all of which were VERY difficult to chose from) and personalized customer service. Super friendly barista. I asked her name but forgot it . They even have a little parklet outside for folks who prefer the fresh air/don't want to be inside. I wish they'd be closer to SJ or would consider opening a location. For those coming down that way, try Voltaire in downtown or Voyager closer to the west side. Cheers! read more

Tellus Coffee is the perfect place to host a private party--we reserved the backroom for our daughter's college graduation. The red brick walls, black leather couches, dimmable lighting, and sound system made for a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. We also enjoyed the brightly lit front room, which is decorated with green neon and white accents. Tellus catered our event, and I am so glad we did because the food was both delicious and tastefully displayed. Janay, who owns Tellus, is a pleasure and accommodated our specific food requests.

Tellus is great at first look - food looks good, good seating. That's where it ended in my experience. It is very expensive - $13 for avocado toast with 1/2 of a hard-boiled egg and $7 for a latte. I appreciate that this is a small business and will always support small business owners over a chain. Would even have ordered another coffee and lunch but the Internet kicks you off (and blocks you!) after 2 hours - doesn't matter how much you spend or are willing to spend. When I asked about it and said I was ordering more anyway, the girl at the counter just said "sorry" with serious attitude and kept doing what she was doing. I won't be back. read more

History

Established in 2020.

A cup of coffee is far more than just a start to a day. When brewed with thoughtfulness and care, it can be an experience unlike any other. Here at Tellus, we believe in bringing that thoughtfulness to every step of the coffee-making process in hopes of providing you not only the freshest brew, but a breath of fresh air and a calming space to enjoy the moment in. Looking to bring this vision to life, we are excited to incorporate community-building, environmental advocacy, and ethical coffee-trade practices at every level of our business. We roast all our beans in-house on a zero-emissions roaster- carefully choosing the regions and farms we source our raw beans from and customizing each small-batch roast for a variety of flavors and strengths. Tellus strives to bring both a sense of peace and a spark of creativity to your coffee journey.

Are you bringing back your matcha strawberry on the menu? I haven't seen it in weeks.

Yes! The strawberry matcha is a permanent menu item for us. Sometimes our suppliers do not have strawberries so we’re unable to make the puree. If that happens we always try to substitute with either a blueberry or raspberry.

No one was at the main register to take orders. The couple in front took forever to order so we stood next in line for a little under 10 min.. we noticed there were several people outside of the small shop waiting for their orders. As we were in line to offer, several people came inside and asked the employees at the counter about their order status. We waited 30 min for 2 iced drinks!! Someone ahead of us was still waiting on her ONE iced coffee. I ordered an iced tiramisu latte and my brother ordered a matcha. My drink tasted like watered down milk. My brother's drink didn't taste like proper matcha. It's a shame because the place and location is nice. But staff doesn't greet you or seem friendly or even approachable. And the drinks are not good. I didn't bother for any food/pastries.

It's amazing how this place has grown, and I'm glad to see what they've done over the years. Their roastery is based in Oakland, but they have started to branch out to Contra Costa and other areas of Alameda County, which I have found quite surprising. I decided that trying their newest store out in Walnut Creek would do it justice -- and indeed, it tastes just like the one I tried in Oakland -- vibes, coffee drink, and pastry, everything with it's local taste. I got an easy vanilla latte -- and a butter croissant. Both tasted just as yummy as they say in other foodies' reviews. The only downside is the guest patio next to their stop -- I wasn't even sure if I was even allowed to sit there. I wish they could have made it clearer for other patrons so that they wouldn't get confused like I did.

Prologue Coffee & Tea is a small café operating inside the Walnut Creek Library in downtown (Walnut…read moreCreek has two libraries). Although the location is not prominent, pictures of their beautifully crafted drinks and delicious bánh mì sandwiches have been spreading across different social media platforms. So much so that they have been featured in reporting by several local media outlets. Out of curiosity, I decided to check this spot out with my brother and a couple friends on 08/29/2025. It wasn't busy when we walked in at around noon. A quick glance revealed a space that's tiny but well organized. We were greeted by Thuy, the friendly proprietor of the establishment. Since this was our first visit, it took us a while to figure out what we wanted. In the end, we each got a bánh mì sandwich and a beverage. Pricing was reasonable IMHO (see menu pic). I had the cold cut bánh mì and an iced coffee. I gave half of my sandwich to my brother, and he gave me half of his grilled chicken bánh mì in return. Both sandwiches were delicious! The baguette was excellent. It was crispy on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside. Thuy told me later on that she gets them from Duc Huong Sandwiches, a famed Vietnamese sandwich chain in San Jose. The homemade pâté, cold cuts, and grilled chicken were all delicious, and the produce was very fresh. The iced coffee was very good as well. We chatted with Thuy extensively before and after our meal. She told us she was a banker prior to opening this café. From our conversation, I could tell she takes pride in her work. We were all very impressed by her demeanor and business acumen. Should you find yourself in downtown Walnut Creek, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - You can either park at the library lot, Civic Park, or the Broadway city garage a block away. - Contactless payment. - They have limited indoor and outdoor seating.

We're not super familiar with coffee in the Bay Area, and for most of our trip we hadn't chosen great shops to visit. Panama Bay, however, really surprised us. A lot about this spot felt unassuming to us. It's a small cottage on the corner that stands out from the taller, more modern apartment buildings around it. There's not much space indoors. All of their seating is outdoors, located next to their outdoor pickup window. It's a little more offbeat than your average coffee spot, but it's really charming. The great service was one of the first things I noticed. Our two baristas were very friendly, chatting with us about our trip, and giving menu recommendations. All of this was greatly appreciated, especially since their menu has many options. They had an extensive list of syrup flavors, lattes, pour over coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. I grabbed a banana latte, and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was flavorful, and the sandwich has the best chipotle mayo. My partner tried the Mayan pour over, and he really loved his drink. Everything that we ordered was fantastic, and the friendly baristas really made our visit. This was easily the best coffee spot we visited during our trip I definitely recommend dropping by this spot if you're nearby, and I'll definitely be back in the future if I'm ever back up north.

Key Point: - Single Origin Pour Over available - Nice Coffee shop decor - Wi-Fi available - Popular, so somewhat crowded for its size. Don't expect an easy time finding a seat/table. Tellus Coffee? Well, let me TELL YOU (pun intended =)! The Mrs. and I came here one day after dropping the Little One off at school. It was a non-clinical workday for both of us, so we had notes to finish. Located in downtown, Walnut Creek, Tellus Coffee is a delightful spot for coffee enthusiasts seeking a unique experience. Ambiance: Upon stepping inside, I was immediately captivated by the stunning interior design, featuring charming brick walls juxtaposed with vibrant green accents. The atmosphere exudes warmth and character, making it the perfect setting for a leisurely coffee break or a productive work session. Food: Breakfast Burrito - A hearty and satisfying option. It can be customized with steak, chicken, or vegetarian options. We chose the succulent steak. Waffle - Adorned with fresh strawberries and banana. A delightful sweet treat that perfectly complements the coffee experience. Coffee - Tellus boasts an impressive selection of specialty coffees, including single-origin pour overs that cater to the coffee aficionado. They also have blends available for those whose discerning palate appreciates the complementation of flavors. I like specialty coffee, but the Mrs. prefers sweeter espresso drinks, which they also have! She ordered a Lavendar Latte from the "Not-so Secret Menu" whereas I ordered a pour over. Each cup is meticulously crafted. However, the only downside I encountered during my visit was the limited seating capacity, which led to some difficulty finding a place to sit, even during a weekday afternoon. They do have extra seating in the back, but I found all those seats filled. Fortunately, someone left their table right after we ordered, though the table was somewhat small, really not suited for two laptops plus two dishes AND drinks. The place could benefit from a larger space to accommodate its loyal clientele more comfortably. Overall, my experience at Tellus Coffee was exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow coffee enthusiasts and casual patrons alike. From its impeccable brews to its inviting ambiance, Tellus Coffee has undoubtedly earned its place on my personal Coffee Shop bucket list! read more

Tellus Coffee in Walnut Creek is a great spot for a quick bite and a caffeinated (or non-caffeinated) drink. We went on a Saturday morning, and it was bustling! The place has a welcoming vibe with a ton of natural light and a cool wall featuring real plants. Service was speedy, which is a big plus on a busy weekend. They offer a wide variety of options beyond just coffee, including smoothies, juices, pastries, light lunch options, and, of course, coffee and tea drinks. I tried their iced chai, but unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. It tasted quite watered down, and the spices were overpowering. It just wasn't very balanced. However, the chicken empanada was a total win! The crust was perfectly crispy and light, and the filling was delicious and flavorful. The chimichurri sauce on the side added a nice touch. It's definitely a bit pricy for a cafe, and the drinks and food can be hit-or-miss. My friend loved her bacon onion pretzel croissant but wasn't a fan of the iced tea. One thing to keep in mind is the seating layout. There are two main sections, but there's a smaller one that's kind of tucked away near the restrooms. You might miss it entirely if you're not heading in that direction. Overall, Tellus Coffee gets 3 stars from me. The food is tasty, the service is fast, and the atmosphere is inviting. However, the drink selection could be a bit more consistent. I'd definitely go back for another empanada. read more

I recently visited Tellus Coffee and tried their 20oz ice vanilla latte with oat milk along with an almond croissant. Here's my review: **Ambiance:** The cafe has a cozy and inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy a cup of coffee. **Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk:** The vanilla latte was perfectly crafted, with a rich espresso flavor complemented by the sweetness of vanilla and the creaminess of oat milk. It was a delightful and satisfying drink that I would highly recommend. **Almond Croissant:** The almond croissant was fresh, flaky, and filled with a generous amount of almond paste. It was a delicious treat to accompany my coffee, providing a nice balance of sweetness and nuttiness. **Service:** The staff at Tellus Coffee were friendly and attentive, ensuring that my visit was enjoyable and that I had everything I needed. **Overall Impression:** My experience at Tellus Coffee was fantastic. The combination of great coffee, delicious pastries, and a welcoming atmosphere made it a place I would love to visit again. I would definitely recommend this cafe to any coffee lover looking for a cozy spot to relax and enjoy a quality beverage and pastry. read more

I recently visited Tellus Coffee in Walnut Creek, California, and had a fantastic experience. The service was exceptional right from the moment we walked in. The server was incredibly friendly and patient with us, especially considering we were unsure about what to order. We asked for recommendations and ended up trying the iced coffee (the dark chocolate mocha with oat milk). The coffee was absolutely delicious, although the empanada fell a bit short for my personal taste. However, my wife loved it, so it's just a matter of preference. Coming from the Mission district in San Francisco, I have had better empanadas, but that didn't overshadow the overall positive experience. I definitely plan on trying one of their pastries during my next visit because they looked amazing! The ambiance at Tellus Coffee had a perfect blend of urban and rustic vibes. The presence of beautiful plants throughout the space created a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. We particularly loved the plant wall and the overall decor of the place. Overall, we had a great time at Tellus Coffee, and we'll definitely be back to try more of their offerings. read more

Tellus Coffee is a gem! This was my second time here, and I already know it won't be my last. I came for my birthday, and it was the perfect way to start the day. Their empanadas are excellent--flaky, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. The chicken one is my favorite so far. But the real star? The blueberry muffin. It's everything a muffin should be--light, moist, bursting with juicy blueberries, and just the right amount of sweetness. Paired with a great cup of coffee, it made for an amazing breakfast. And I have to mention the staff--because they are truly wonderful. They aren't just friendly; they're warm, informative, and genuinely happy to help. They don't mind explaining menu options or offering thoughtful suggestions, which makes the experience even better. The atmosphere here is inviting, the food is fantastic, and the people make it even more special. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or planning to stay a while, Tellus Coffee is worth a visit. Highly recommend! read more

Service was okay. They didn't call my name when our drinks were ready and waited awhile.
