I stopped by and picked up a large carrot cake, and they even told me not to refrigerate it since we were serving it that night. It ended up being the hit of the party! The cake was incredibly moist, packed with nuts, and the frosting was absolutely to die for. Definitely one of the best carrot cakes I've had!

It was 5 AM on Mother's Day and they…read morestill went above and beyond to have my order ready right on time (call a day before to give him a heads up, though you're gonna be coming). Super friendly customer service, very welcoming people, and just a really pleasant conversation that early in the morning, which honestly made my day. The freshly baked donut selection is amazing. You got everything from old-fashioned plain, glazed, chocolate, sprinkles, classic twists, and pretty much anything your heart desires. The filled donuts are awsome too, although sounds like those are usually made a little later in the day fresh:( The inside is actually relatively big and comfortable, not cramped like many donut spots. One of the coolest parts is being able to see a lot of the baking process happening right there. You can tell they really care about quality seen that freshly baked one-to-one beauty laying in front of you and their customers, who are always happy! Definetely one of the best donut spots around Lamorinda.

The breakfast mac & cheese with bacon is another favorite and always hits the spot. And don't even get me started on the desserts, they're next level. I also love the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. You order at the counter, grab a table, help yourself to water, and the friendly staff brings your food right to you. It's casual, comfortable, and consistently one of my favorite places in Lafayette. Highly recommend!

All ordered salads, all different, all very nice, but hardly unique. Ordered cold lemonades too, but they were nothing but a squeeze of lemon in water- not impressed. Having not been here in years, I found it to be a different and disappointing experience. We had to flag down a person to clean the table, which was still sticky when we sat down. Not rude service but could hardly be considered friendly either. The one thing that annoyed me the most was clearing an individuals dishes while the others were still eating. Plenty of empty tables so what's the rush? Given the cost, plus tip, Sideboard was nothing special. Plenty of other solid choices in the Lamorinda area.

We only got bakery items and a latte, but would love to go back and try maybe a croque madame or…read morethe shakshuka. Almond croissant: huge, loved it, so much almond! Reese's PB cookie: good. Worth $5.50? Debatable Russe Pistachio: great pistachio flavor "Mango" and "Pistachio": fun and adorable, so realistic looking. The texture combination of hard outer shell and soft creamy inside is not for everyone. I got these more for the novelty. Not something I would get again Crunchy vanilla lemon: the white chocolate made this too sweet for me Princess cake: our favorite of the cakes we got Pistachio latte: realllly good. Wish I'd gotten the larger size Parking is easy here as it's across from the Safeway. It does get crowded (we came on a Saturday) and the shop itself is not big but there's some tables outside. Service was friendly but there was a lot of multi tasking going on. I didn't feel neglected though and would not rate them down for this. I'd come back, but probably not for the cakes. I'm also about 30 mins away so it'd be a deliberate decision

Tried an iced red velvet mocha and when it came out it was bright red like a smoothie. Took a sip of it and it was hot. Not warm but hot. All the ice had melted in the cup. I asked for another cup of ice which they provided and as soon as I poured the drink on that all the ice melted ( pic below is after more ice was asked for). Tasted like a cup of milk and water. I don't think they are mixing their lattes right but are rather just pouring everything randomly into a cup and calling it a day. Nice staff, good ambiance. I also mentioned to the barista that "I tried something new and it's a miss which is my own fault" but rather than them offering to make me something new or apologize they said nothing. Disappointed I wasted $6.45 and threw the coffee away
