Truly love Koin so much! It was definitely a great and unique addition to the area. The coffee and food are delicious and staff are always super laid back and kind. The ambiance is very relaxed-very good for focus, work, school, study. I do bible studies with friends here and it's always a sweet time. Also-they have some talented barista's here that do beautiful latte art! :) Definitely recommend! read more

Koin Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Found this place by scrolling on IG. This place is out of the way for me but I like to try other coffee houses. Came here on a Sunday and it's tucked away like a hidden gem. The place is very spacious with plenty of room to sit and it's very bright. As soon as I came in I was greeted right away. Staff is friendly which is nice. I ordered an iced cinnamon roll latte and an almond croissant. Two items were a little over $15. A bit pricey. I then saw that the almond croissant was $7.50! EEK. Both were good. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely come back but I wouldn't make another special trip out here. read more

Koin coffee is great! My coworkers and I go here about 3-4 times a week. The inside is so spacious and very welcoming. The staff are very polite and helpful. I always get the breakfast sandwich, it's my favorite! read more

Koin Coffee - Breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This spot seems popular with people working in the nearby medical offices--I noticed a lot of folks in scrubs while we were there. There's a huge seating area, which was really nice and made it feel comfortable even when it was busy. They also sell coffee beans and some merch, though I didn't get a chance to check those out closely. Drink-wise, my husband ordered the Biscoff latte, and I went with a dark chocolate mocha, which I really enjoyed--the dark chocolate made it feel less sweet and more balanced. The coffee itself was good. Not bad at all--just not something I'd go out of my way for. That said, one thing that really stood out was the latte art. The barista made the cutest bear in my drink, and I was genuinely impressed. I even posted it on Instagram and sent it to friends--it was that well done. Overall, this is a solid coffee spot. If you're in the area and want a good cup of coffee in a spacious, comfortable setting, it's definitely worth stopping by. It's not a destination café for me, but I'd happily return if I was nearby. read more

Nice little "neighborhood" cafe...near Shadelands Medical centers. Lots of folks on their laptops and featuring a spacious, clean modern interior. Unfortunately, the cappuccino was just ok. The breakfast sandwich, however, was fabulous!!! read more

Stopped here for the weekend market, got a $15 slice of lasagna, lord what has this world come to. But onto here, iced vanilla bean latte 10/10 great flavor, perfectly balanced notes, sourdough cinnamon roll 10/10, I love cinnamon rolls and have never tried a sourdough version--very tasty, and London fog 10/10 good flavor. read more

This coffee spot is so good, delicious smooth coffee. The smavo toast is so good, the bread is thick and soft. For coffee, I had one of the specials called the cinnamon roll latte, I recommend it. The inside is big, there's a corner with some merch, lots of seating inside too. The service is quick and friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area. read more

Koin Coffee - The Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

First time checking out Koin Cafe! I got a plain cold brew, and it was pretty good--had a nice almost fruity flavor to it that I really liked. My wife got the peppermint patty mocha latte, which was also solid. I liked that it wasn't super sweet, and the mint flavor kind of built up as you kept drinking it. This place seems super chill--quiet music, people studying or working, lots of tables. Definitely seems like a great spot to get some work done or just hang out for a bit. Only downside was that it was pretty freezing inside. I was nearly shivering even with a hoodie on. Overall, solid spot! Drinks were good, atmosphere was nice, and I'd love to come back to try their food next time. read more

Their vanilla bean is made in house and it's so delicious in the vanilla iced latte! Might be my fav placed for vanilla lattes. There is alot of open seating indoor and outdoor, they also have the long study tables that we all love. Such a cute vibe with nice music playing too. Definitely coming back to catch up on work or to chat with a friend. 10/10!! read more

Made it a mission to explore WC's cafes and so happy to have come across Koin! A largely space cafe serving up pastries and solid cups of coffee. Big spacious interior with lots of natural light and plenty of seating. I stopped in prior to work and did not run into an 8am rush and was able to order quickly. Got an Iced Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte and it was absolutely delicious! Sweet, great tasting coffee and loved the flavors syrup you could even see the bits of cinnamon through out the drink. Also, really like the ice they use for their drinks. Service was quick, friendly and welcoming. Definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for a place to work on your laptop or catching up with friends. Noise level is appropriate and environment is comfortable. Lots of parking in the plaza. Highly recommend this place! read more

Koin Coffee - Interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Delicious coffee and great menu for light bites. I love the spacious seating situation. No crammed tables, and there's plenty of seating. I came during holiday season and the cafe was decorated with lights and other cute props. Cashiers were friendly even at 7am -- a great start to the day! They have wifi but I didn't see many outlets, only one behind the couch and in the corner. Everything I've tried is good with the exception of the avocado. The avocado is too mashed and tastes like chemicals. It reminds me of those prepackaged guacamole cups from the grocery store so I can't recommend it. read more

We had an appointment nearby and also needed a spot with reliable wifi and readily available tables for us to park our laptops at. The local Peets and Starbucks, with their very tiny sq. footage and limited table capacity seemed like dubious choices, so my wife searched on Yelp and found Koin Coffee. Located inside a commercial office complex, free parking is readily available in the private lot. And the interior is very open, spacious, and clean; with TONS of tables to choose from. Although we arrived a little earlier in the morning, the place quickly started to fill up as we were working through a few Zoom calls. Koin coffee has a pretty good selection of caffeinated drinks to choose from. Though unless you are working at one of the offices in the complex, this is definitely a more intentional destination as it will require driving. read more

Hidden gem close (walkable) to the various kids' fitness facilities (American Swim Academy, etc). Finding Koin Coffee was a blessing - in search of a decent coffee spot that wasn't a 15 minute drive away. Strong drip coffee and a fun selection of lattes and pastries. Plenty of seating inside and some tables outside. Lots of parking nearby (although a surprising amount of cars on a weekend too - not sure where all of those people were). Staff were friendly and upbeat. read more

Clean, very large, and plenty of tables. This is less of a sit and work type of cafe as it was very cold and noisy with staff conversation and singing. It's not a particularly cozy or aesthetically pleasing cafe if that's what you're looking for. The girls working the front were friendly and organized. I didn't love my drink tbh, which was a cappuccino. I'm not sure if it's just the type of bean I don't like, foam can be improved a bit if getting nit picky. read more

On a strong recommendation from a friend, I stopped by Koin Coffee early on a weekday around 8:30AM. This is a very large and open coffee shop, plenty of tables, chairs, easily 3 times the size of most coffee places. I had a Cafe Latte' with regular milk and a warmed up cinnamon bun which was amazing! I sat over by the couch area in one of the 2 plush chairs there to spend a while reading my book enjoying my coffee. There was a father there with his toddler who was easily amused by the small play area next to the couch - they even have a toy espresso machine! Service: Very good Ambiance: Nice, because it's spread out, not loud and there are floor to ceiling large windows on 2 of the walls so nice and bright. My friend said they also have amazing avocado toast so I'll have to stop by for lunch sometime. read more

Koin has quickly become my favorite coffee shop in the area! Their vanilla bean latte is divine and I love that they use organic milk. Their drinks have been really consistent. I'm never one to finish my drinks but theirs has me wanting more. I love that their coffee has a strong coffee taste vs milk and sugary. Oh and their Decaf? Amazing. Their decaf beans use the Swiss water method vs the chemical process and you can taste the difference. They also have great chai, it's very lightly sweetened but the addition of the vanilla bean syrup makes it really tasty. I get a 1/2 caf vanilla bean latte with oat milk and it has the perfect amount of caffeine for the caffeine sensitive! 5 stars for organic milk Swiss process decaffeination process house made syrups consistency, space, and staff! their thick ice cubes that don't melt in two seconds! Iykyk! read more

I'm so excited to have found a great coffee shop in the area!!! It was my first time visiting, and it did not disappoint. The shop is big and spacious, lots of natural lighting and really clean interior design. There's a lot of seating and a great space to cowork -- Just a note that they do not have outlets The staff was amazing!! Julianna and Gabe were extremely attentive and super sweet. I had a difficult order and they managed to help me with ease. Their service made my visit a great experience! Additionally, the coffee is extremely smooth. I had an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and a teddy graham latte which were delicious. It was the perfect amount of coffee and milk, which I usually have to customize the other shops, but I love that it is very coffee forward here. Did I mention their syrups are made in House??! It makes a huge difference in the taste and I'm glad that Koin coffee goes that extra step to ensure a pleasant experience. I'm so glad that I found Koin coffee and I know where I'll be at every week to pick up a sweet treat! read more

We've come here a number of times since my first review and the menu expanded a bit and everything we've tried has been awesome. They had great flavored coffee drinks for the holidays. And the breakfast sandwich which isn't always shown on their menus is excellent with lots of cheese, egg, and ham all on a nice bun! read more

Who knew that there was a coffee shop right outside of kaiser? We've been going to kaiser for years and never noticed it, but there were so many people there that I guess everybody knows about us. The tables were filled in. The ambience was really cool. they have a great little store area and nice little things on the wall walls. I like the name that it comes from. I think it was a Greek word or something. It reminds me of my Swedish word Fika which means to take a break and have coffee and a pacer with a friend and that's what the name of this coffee shop means I got a holiday coffee flavor of peppermint and it was really nice because it wasn't over powering. The bad news is that the black coffee was not hot. We got the sourdough chocolate chip cookie. It was just OK. Nothing special. We absolutely loved the cranberry scone. I highly recommend this place, but I would skip the black drip coffee, and the chocolate chip cookie. read more

First timer here. Heard great things but my visit wasn't the best. This place is busy and baristas know what they are doing however I must have ordered wrong. I got a chai which for me barely had any flavor. I also decided to try the sourdough Cinnabon warmed up, it was gooey good and better than it actually looks. Maybe I should've tried their coffee instead. read more

Great little spot near the Kaiser facility. Excellent coffee and a small but nice selection of salads and sandwiches plus pastry items.

I can even begin to express how underrated and low key this shop is! flying under the radar among medical offices, koin serves coffee and pastries that are anything but low key. their house made syrups make such a difference in the taste and quality of their lattes. the pastry case boasts delicacies galore but their crown diamond is the english muffin. if you're thinking about going, this is your sign. the staff is so warm and welcoming and the energy and vibes are low key! read more

Koin Coffee - Their secret menu teddy graham latte with oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I can't rave enough about Koin coffee! Lots of tables to work at, friendly staff, and the turkey pesto sandwich is the best cafe sandwich I've probably had in this part of town. Don't forget a sourdough cinnamon bun to end on a sweet note. Their matcha has a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg that makes it a standout drink. I go every other weekend to enjoy the bites, drinks and the industrial yet cozy ambiance. read more

Great coffee shop! The drinks are consistent, staff is friendly, and the food is fantastic. Good place if you need to get work done, too.

I am so happy we finally have a great option for coffee and food around park Shadelands. The ambiance is beautiful. It is spacious, peaceful and modern looking. The food was delicious and seems very fresh. I had their salad which is conveniently packed if you are in a hurry. The turkey pesto sandwich was delicious and I wanna go back to order it again. I tried their chai latte and it was ok. I am beyond happy to have this great option for good food but also a great hang out spot. read more

One of the few coffee places I'll go to in the area when I don't want to make coffee at home. House drip and iced vanilla lattes are my go tos. I love that this is conveniently located in Park Shadelands, so whenever I need to get any medical stuff done, I can do a quick stop or walk over here. Service is quick, decor and vibe is chic, simple and clean. They have some large tables which would be great for studying or having a coffee date. read more

Koin Coffee - House drip to go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Koin is my favorite east Walnut Creek cafe & one of a kind! Our daughter took me there in September 2024, and I've been a loyal customer ever since. I've brought many friends there too:). Koin has delicious coffee, specialty drinks, tea, & toasts. There are other menu items I want to try too. Recently, I was recovering from surgery & Kaiser Shadelands is a short walk from Koin. I couldn't drink coffee at that time, but thoroughly enjoyed the tea drinks, especially iced hibiscus tea. Plus, the toasts are yummy & a treat, especially during my recovery:) They have Model Bakery baked goods now as well as a unique tasty cinnamon roll from a local baker. Plus, they sell locally created items & I bought several for Christmas gifts. There's plenty of seating & it's light inside, as lots of windows. Some outdoor seating too. Employees are sincerely kind, welcoming, & conscientious . You can also order online now. read more

Hidden coffee shop near the Kaiser Shadelands. My mom popped into this coffee shop after getting her blood drawn at Kaiser. It's has plenty of seating inside and outside. The cashier said that they had opened in Sept. 2024. What a great addition to the area. He said that they make their own syrups as well. The iced whole milk lattes were delicious and it was nice that they didn't fill the whole cup with tons of ice. They have a grab and go section of drinks and they also offer food items - sandwiches and salads. Will be back again! read more

I used to work right by this place, and am so sad Koin Coffee wasn't around during that time! I visited Koin Coffee after driving by, and was really pleased with my experience. The shop itself is really cute - it's modern and spacious, and the glass windows throughout the store allow for so much natural sunlight to come in. I would love to grab my laptop and get some work done inside the shop. The staff was nice and attentive. To drink, I ordered a vanilla oatmilk latte and it was really good. I really enjoyed the strong taste of the coffee and the house-made vanilla syrup really complimented that. I also ordered an avocado toast with a boiled egg on top, and it was pretty solid! I loved the touch of the fried onions on top, I would never have thought to add those. It was a pretty standard avocado toast, but the onions really brought it over the top! I really want to try the other syrup flavors because I was so pleased with the vanilla. I'll be back soon! read more

This coffee shop is large with plenty of seating, big windows, and a sleek, modern vibe. The natural light pouring in creates a really inviting atmosphere--great spot for working or relaxing. I tried the drip coffee, which had a noticeable berry flavor. Personally, that's not my preference, but if you like fruity notes in your coffee, you'll probably enjoy it more than I did. read more

I was excited to check out Koin after reading the reviews, and it's definitely a destination in itself. It's tucked away--not near downtown or other walkable spots--so it's more of a place you intentionally drive to rather than stumble upon while shopping or strolling. The space is bright and spacious, with plenty of tables and natural light. I ordered a simple iced latte, which was fine--nothing standout, but it got the job done. The staff seemed friendly, and the overall vibe was positive. I also liked the merchandise--cute, minimal, and on-brand. This feels like a great spot if you're looking to study or get work done. It's not silent like a library, but it's calm and not overly loud either. If you're after location convenience, people-watching, or a cozier ambiance, there are other coffee shops in the area I'd choose first--but for focused time with your laptop or a low-key meeting, this place works well. read more

We were in the area and looked on yelp for coffee. We went on a Saturday so it was completely packed. We ordered vanilla lattes. They didn't have a lot of flavors to pick from. It's an open concept with a lot of tables. There was nowhere to really wait like an area so that was a little uncomfortable. When we got the coffee it was pretty good and very well balanced. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

I came here awhile ago after moving to Walnut Creek. I received horror service as a POC while people who were the same colors as the owners (white) were treated nicely. As I stated before I did some research on the owners and they were republicans/pro ice. Instead of addressing my discomfort they got my review deleted. I'm only writing this review again because my friend who is also poc also received bad service and that's when she told me it was Koin coffee. read more
