    Cute little shop next to the nursery! There was something for both of my kids to enjoy which was a plus

    Love the eclectic well curated ambience (every chair is different) and all of wood finishes. Warm and welcoming this rainy day.

    What a special place! Community pride is felt thoughout this "Triangle" area of El Sobrante. The Good Table was 8 years in the making and it seems from the Grand Opening, to be well worth the wait for those who attended, and the many who volunteered their time to create this community dream come true. It's a beautiful space filled with friendly people, local artisan made products, a good sized retail book shelf, a peaceful light filled community space (and on Sundays an open to all church), locally produced food and beverage, including pay what you can or pay it forward coffee. Next door is the Planting Justice Nursery & Farm Marketplace and The Shed, a maker space and artisan market. Both well worth a visit too. I absolutely loved the "intentional creativity" art installations. Also a year round farmer's market and the occasional festive night market happens here. There is no doubt the Triangle will become a lively community hub, and likely quickly!

    Combo cafe, nursery, artworks and store all rolled into one great experience.

    I'd come here for mocha alone- best ever! But will be back for my veggies and some lunch.

    So happy this little cafe is open! But it's so much more than a cafe. It's a nursery, it's a shop, it's a shared space, it's wonderful.

    The grilled rib eye pho is the best pho I've had in a long time!…read more The staff was nice and took our order quick and were fast to refill our waters. However, there were plenty of tables that had food still sitting on them after guests left which was kinda off putting. The atmosphere isn't anything special; it's a big box with lots of tables. Certainly come back for that grilled rib eye pho, it was BOMB!

    Got here right before it went from half capacity to full on people waiting for a table around lunch…read moretime on a Friday. The place is pretty clean nice and all but I'm just not used to waiting 6-7 mins for a server to come to my table after seating myself, especially at a pho spot where they keep the broth hot and noodles ready to toss in and read to serve in a matter of minutes even seconds depending how good the place is with service. Food is good, I would you try their food here. However, I would never recommend physically going here. Unbelievably slow service tho they weren't disrespectful or unpleasant they were all too slow for how packed it was getting. I guess there's only two spots for pho in Pinole maybe that's the reason behind this place being acceptable, I would never go here again having to wait so long for every part of dining in a restaurant. Had to ask for one of my dishes and as they brought it out we were already finishing our meals. Also, forgot i ordered the calamari and it came AFTER the sandwich I reminded them to bring out lol. Comedy Food= Good! Would never recommend someone go here for the wait time and service

    I've been going to Cafe Tapioca since 2016 it's definitely a staple in the area. The owner Michelle…read morehas always made me and my family feel special, my daughter loves to go in and spend time with her. I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. But my favorite go to orders are The Vietnamese ice coffee or Thai tea, And the Combo lunch sandwich or the #7 breakfast sandwich. To see how much Michelle has upgraded and transformed the Buisness over the years is inspiring! It's like night and day seeing how it used to look inside compared to now. The remodel and constant upgrades that have been made show that the owner reinvests heavily in the customers experience and that alone deserves a 5 star review. Me and my family will always support this amazing small Buisness.

Service has always been friendly and helpful. The re-did the place a while back and it is much more open and spacious. They also make their donuts in-house now. No complaints on the food here. They serve sandwiches, banh-mi and drinks, lots to choose from. Overall, I am glad to visit this dependable establishment in Hercules.

We had two kids in our group, which can sometimes be tricky when dining out, but everyone absolutely loved it! We chose to sit outside, and it was beautiful on a warm day. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, the service was attentive and friendly, and the food did not disappoint. Everything came out fresh and delicious, and we never felt rushed. It made for such a nice family outing, and I'd definitely recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice. We'll for sure be coming back!

    My wife ordered an egg burrito off the site (and me a sandwich) for dinner…read more They dinged us after a while that the order was ready for pickup. I went to the store to get it. There is no one in the place, there are four (high school aged) workers behind the counter. I stood there for a good minute. Not one came over to me. I moved over and got one of their attention since they were not going to come and assist (because you know, they were busy goofing off - there was no adult there). The order was NOT ready in fact, they didn't even make the fries. So they started the fries and I stood there while they were cooked. Why did you tell us it was ready when it wasn't remotely ready? I got my order and left, got home and realized the burrito wasn't there. I went all the way back and they said "we refunded the burrito, it's only served for breakfast" First off the menu does not say this. If it's only served during a certain part of the day THEN SAY IT ON THE MENU. Second, no one thought of letting anyone know it was refunded. Just did and went on about their day of goofing off. The people at the store there couldn't give a flying yahoo when I voiced my displeasure. The last couple times we've been here the service was almost non-existent and the orders are always messed up. And this was the last time. Management will read this and just laugh. They could not care at all. Time for poorly run businesses like this to be done.
