The candied peanuts are to die for and I am not usually a fan of peanuts! All of the ingredients are fresh and high quality. The ice cream is so creamy!! I have been to Handels and SF creamery and while their ice cream is delicious, I would rate Lottie's above them.

Amazing! They have…read moresuch unique flavors. There were many to choose from, and I'm so glad I overheard the other customers ahead of us saying that the vanilla salted almond toffee flavor was what they are known for. We ended up getting that flavor as one of our two. For our second flavor of two scoops, we ended up getting the marshmallow neapolitan. -Vanilla salted almond toffee: I can see what the other customers meant for "this is what they're known for." I love that the almond is candied/carmelized with toffee. It gives it a roasty flavor, which gives the flavor so much depth. The almond also gives a bit of crunch/texture, which makes this flavor so unique. -Marshmallow neapolitan: I'm not typically someone who likes marshmallows or goes for neapolitan, as I don't like super sweet and I don't like mixing flavors. You can definitely taste all 3 flavors--vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. The marshmallow doesn't make the ice cream as sweet as I would have thought, it really just adds the marshmallow texture. The ice cream is very thick and creamy. It doesn't melt too fast to meld all the flavors together (which I don't really like), and I really appreciate that the ice cream holds together so well! The gentleman helping us was very patient in letting us try several flavors. The shop had a more old time feel. There is a bench to sit on to eat for a bit, but no tables. Overall, I would totally come back to try their unique flavors!

I've come here once before but it's been such a long time! My boyfriend and I came to have some…read moredessert after our dinner and we chose to sit down and eat! They have 2 lines. One for to go orders and another for their typical indoor seating. Their menu is extensive! Had we not already been full we probably would've ordered some French fries or some other snacks on the side! The ambiance is great, lots of family's and couples enjoying ice cream and their meals. There's TVs inside showing sport tournaments and things like that too. It's not too loud inside either! It's really nice. They give you the option of sitting at a booth or a regular table, of course my preferred option is always booth! The ice cream was delicious! We got a triple sundae and customized the flavors of the ice cream rather than the original vanilla strawberry chocolate. It was so good! Everything tasted so delicious, each flavor of ice cream was super creamy and chewy, and all the glass and silver wear were clean too which is super important to me! Absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed ending our evening here and we will definitely be back. I love ice cream and this place can't do any wrong! If you love ice cream, you'll love it here too!

I'm sad to have to drop by my rating. I honestly can no longer give the shop a 5-star review…read more While their cupcakes are still really good and I can give stars for good cupcakes, I have to lower the rating for customer service because I recently had a really challenging time trying to order a cake from the Walnut Creek branch. Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.

It's been awhile, I love coming back. The desserts alone are magnificent. They make their tiramisu…read moreso it was tough choosing a different dessert. The pistachio pastry we got did not disappoint. It was delish. We ordered a latte and their Havana latte was recommended. I loved the Havana latte, one of the best lattes I've had. It was flavorful but not super sweet as it has condensed milk. We ordered and paid at register both the cashier and barista were super friendly and polite. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It's a large coffee shop, also serves alcohol. I've had their espresso martinis in the past and one of my favorites. We just had wine and we were looking for a place to have dessert. There's plenty of table and booth seating.

That came out to 6$ at first then I saw on their menu at the register that the cone could be dipped with chocolate, she said it's $1.25 extra, then I noticed peanuts could be added to the chocolate dip, she said another 1.25, total came to 8 ish, I tipped a $1 so I say at a round off I spent 10 next time I'm not getting all the extra for the cone. The size of a small cone is very generous and very reasonable for the 6$ price. Very spacious inside but it is pretty much an order then go. There was a standing table but I suggest know that you will just be getting your treat and heading out. Street parking at parking lots available I was grabbing food across the street from them where I parked. Definitely ice cream that solves everything, get yourself this treat!!

It was a sunny Sunday, so the place was lively with families & groups of friends. There is no indoor seating, but some outdoor benches along the street.

Definitely a favorite ice cream spot amongst the locals. Would highly recommend it!

Do not miss her cronuts, her white chocolate macaroons (not the French style) and her cupcakes. Oh man, her cupcakes!!

Up until now, I had not found a pastry chef that could make gluten-free truly amazing so I am in heaven with YUM Dessert Bar. You can either pick up her stuff at Lettuce Restaurant and Catering or order her treats via DoorDash. Your sweet tooth will thank you!

I have been here twice so far. The first time we hosted a large gathering in the private room, and…read morethe entire experience was outstanding. Chef Hassan created a customized menu for our group, and every dish was beautifully prepared. I ordered the Beef Wellington, well, because there was absolutely no reason not to when that's on the menu! HA! It was incredible. The flaky dough wrapped around that filet mignon, ooh, amazing. It sat on creamy potatoes and veggies of some sort (it's been a minute, I can't recall the exact option). The private room was nicely lit, there were some candles and flowers across the table as well as wall decor. The server and busser took a little to get things rolling, but eventually things were moving along. We also had a few children in our party, and the staff was wonderful accommodating, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We were so impressed that we came back a second time - just my lady, my 6-month-old daughter, and myself - and it was on a busy Saturday night when you typically need reservations. We were lucky enough that Onur (manager) welcomed us with no hesitation and have us a little space to relax with our daughter and enjoy a wonderful dinner. We ordered the Appetizer for Two, which includes: Bruschetta, Caprese, Prosciutto Melone, & Beet Salad - a perfect amount for the two of us. Then we each got the Beef Wellington. Again, never a disappointment. YOU MUST TRY IT! To finish the night I had a latte and we shared a salted caramel gelato. Absolutely delightful. If you haven't tried La Fontaine, I highly recommend giving them a try. The weekends are busy, so if you're able to step out on a week night, do it. Ask for Onur the manager and he'll take care of you. Enjoy

It was just me 'n' Mumsy this year so I suggested we go out for Thanksgiving lunch…read more The host was so gracious and our server, Dennys, was attentive and charming! Everyone else was lovely too, TBH. The food? Oh yeah! I had the octopus appetizer from the regular menu which was melt in your mouth deliciousness with a fava (or broad bean?) base - in different circumstances, I would have wiped the plate clean with a piece of bread French country style! I had the lobster ravioli special, which was both decadent and delicate - the taste of the lobster wasn't overwhelmed by the light creamy sauce, and the pasta was the perfect bite. Mumsy had the turkey cordon bleu special which both satisfied turkey tradition without the (alleged) tryptophan coma! Too stuffed for dessert (but that's okay as we aren't really "sweet" people!). Mind you the chocolate wotnot looked very tempting... I am very thankful for everyone who worked today - it was the most relaxing Thanksgiving we've had in a long time and I am grateful that you made it possible. As Arnie says, "I'll be back!"

I ordered a Mango Lychee Green Tea w/ Boba. The drink was prepared pretty quickly shortly after ordering. However, according to the picture in the kiosk menu, the drink was supposed to include lychee toppings. This unfortunately did not come fruition as my drink only contained the boba toppings that I paid extra for. The drink itself was extremely muted in flavor and tasted extremely diluted with only a hint of mango and absolutely no taste of lychee (probably because they forgot to add the toppings). You can either order at the counter or use any of their two self-service kiosks. The shop itself was pretty clean and there are plenty of seating if you decide to dine-in. They offer a uni-sex public bathroom was kept pretty clean when I visited.

The green tea part definitely tasted like green tea matcha. I had a better second experience here, so glad I gave them another shot

And of course, the drinks are delicious. Everything tastes fresh, bright, and really well made. The boba has that perfect texture too, soft with just the right chew, which makes such a difference. You can tell they care about quality :P What really keeps us coming back, though, is the service. I think the owner is usually there, and he is incredibly kind. He always seems to go above and beyond. He's given my daughter a little treat more than once just to make her day, and one time he even helped me carry our baby stroller down the steps even though he absolutely did not have to lol :) Those small moments really stick with you. Great drinks are one thing, but that kind of genuine kindness is what makes a place feel special. It feels a little elevated, a little indulgent, and always like a nice little treat. We love it!!

I have had this before in the Pleasanton area, but it's been quite some time. The location is on a busy street of Walnut Creek, but it is located right across a parking structure. Inside is pretty small to sit, and ordering is via a kiosk. The drink kiosk is further back in the store. Lychee Fruit Tea: I adjusted to 50% sweet and it was still sweet for me. I added sago for texture and it did give it a nice profile overall. The 4 pieces of lychee also gave it added sweetness to my drink. It was chilled nicely and overall, it did brighten up my mood for the day. I think I need to go to 30% sweet and it will be perfect for me. Overall, I can see myself coming back here again.
