The steak and egg wrap with extra sauce is by far my favorite. I usually go with something basic to drink, the iced matcha latte is always made the exact same whenever I order it. The workers are all super nice, very helpful when it comes to providing recommendations. The shop always has calm music playing and there's plenty of seating if you're there to do work or just have breakfast/coffee. We'll continue coming here whenever we're headed up north!

Yesterday, I visited Journey Coffee, and I found the ambiance exceptionally appealing. The setting…read moreis warm, natural, and inviting, making it an ideal place to relax, reconnect with friends, or get work done. The customer service was accommodating, and the coffee was okay. My husband and one of my employees both ordered the egg and sausage breakfast sandwiches, which they found highly enjoyable. I selected the avocado toast. While it was satisfactory, the avocado tasted more like a vinegar-based spread than freshly mashed avocado, which is my personal preference. Typically, I appreciate avocado toast prepared with fresh avocado; therefore, this was the sole aspect I would have altered. In summary, my experience was pleasant, and I would undoubtedly return. The welcoming atmosphere and excellent service have established it as a location I would gladly revisit, and I anticipate exploring additional menu items on my next visit.

Cozy cafe vibes!

I just wish they had more seating outside, on the side there it's kind of different. It's nice. Don't get me wrong but it's a little different being on the side there. They have a good selection.

Check out the menu they may have something for you that you like, I'm just a basic drip coffee, kind of guy, but they have different lattes and different flavors and as I said, the staff is very nice

I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the Martinez area.

An East Bay gem!…read more Lance and the crew here do their thing. Always considerate, kind, and excellent at making the food and drinks. I love the special added touch of bringing it to your table (when they're not too busy!). This place has a church that meets in the back on Sundays! This is also a proper cafe where people work on their laptops, like work work. It's also a place where regulars visit so there's a neighborhood feel. It reflects the diversity of the Bay Area and especially the East Bay. It's just a vibe all around. One of my favorite cafes, hands-down. Gratitude Coffee House, you inspire that which is in your name. Highly recommend!

That said, there were a few minor annoyances with my visit today. First, even though they sell pastries, they can't heat them up. The drink execution was also a bit off: my iced chai latte ordered with light ice was still half full of ice, and my iced triple was filled so close to the brim in a tiny cup that a third of it sloshed out just walking down their stairs. I tried to hang back for a couple of minutes to let someone know, but with only two workers on shift handling a crowd of over 10 people, they were simply too slammed to notice. They definitely need extra hands on deck to refine their service, but I only took off one star for these issues because this place has major potential if they tighten up those small details. I'll definitely be back!

The barista with glasses who took our order was especially charismatic and genuinely nice to chat with. We tried one of their specialty drinks, the blueberry maple Latte, both hot and iced, along with the guava muffin. The muffin was really unique and delicious not overly sweet, which I personally loved. The latte itself had a really smooth espresso profile, with the blueberry and maple adding a subtle sweetness without overpowering the coffee. I got mine with oat milk, and the combination honestly reminded me a little of blueberry oatmeal in the best way. The iced version was my favorite the flavors came through really nicely and still let the coffee shine. Prices are also pretty reasonable, especially for the quality. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for good coffee with interesting flavors and want to support a small local business!
