    Inside
    Mabel H.

    I have had this place bookmarked for years and haven't gone despite my parents living in Danville. I'll tell you why: it is deeeeep in Alamo lol. I finally made the trek today, and I wish I didn't wait so long! It's a darling area packed with neighboring small businesses. Parking looks limited at first glance, but they have more spots when you drive through the gate to the right of the shop. Plenty of seating! They have a front patio, back patio, and tables/chairs overlooking the creek. I love the woodwork inside, the huge wall mural, and the antique-looking furniture really adds to the vibe. They also have a kid-friendly menu which feels family-oriented. I like their music, but it's just a *little* too loud and I could hear the table next to me trying to talk over it. Cappuccino ($5.85): I had a choice between medium (more acidic) or dark roast, and I opted for dark. It was perfect :) Can't wait to come back to yap in the sunshine with friends or work solo for a few hours. I'll try the matcha or Ironhorse iced coffee next time!

    I tried a vanilla latte and their ham and Swiss twist pastry. Loved the latte and that all of their syrups are house-made and their shots are pulled ristretto! When you order coffee they also give you an option on the roast type. The pastry was good, but I prefer my pastries on the soft and chewy side vs toasted and flaky. The inside is cute with lots of seating. There were quite a few people working, studying and reading inside on a Sunday. There is also a small back patio and a few tables on the front patio. Parking is a bit tough as it's on the end of a bunch of store fronts but there's a small lot around the back.

    Menu - we got kids chai and latte

    Quaint and cozy local cafe - from the outside it appears Tahoe-like. Cute outdoor seating in front where we sat. Always happy to support a local joint. Argh. Just realized - don't have a pic of the drinks. Definitely worth checking out though to catch some local vibe in Alamo.

    I really like it here to stop by and get some reflection time in. It's off the freeway in a small little strip. They have a little parking lot in the back too. Great place to study or do work. Tables aren't the same and each has a different character. Tables outside too. I've only had their drinks: matcha, affogato, and cold brew. All were really good. They have specials too like cold brew with coconut cream. Staff is pleasant and friendly.

    Great ambience, perfect place to hang out and chat or read. Coffee was great and so was the pastry! My friend got focaccia and it was really large and delicious. Will definitely come again!

    Came here and had a delicious iced vanilla latte. Sat outside though there were tons of seating options, both indoor and outdoor including options with views of the creek. Staff were very helpful and friendly and were giving out very generous portions of sandwich samples. I tried a sample of the new turkey sandwich on homemade ciabatta bread - absolutely loved it!

    When walking inside this coffee shop, it reminded me of being in a cowboy setting. I really like the interior and how they put this together. There is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. There is a good selection of coffee and baked goods. While there is parking in the front, there is also parking in the back too. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and when I got it, it tasted like a latte with no vanilla. I even had my husband try it, and he said that it tasted like a latte with no vanilla either. When I asked for vanilla to the barista they gave me a look and put the vanilla in. I feel like the vanilla was forgotten about and in the end, the drink was mediocre. I will come back to give them another chance, but overall my experience is a 3/5.

    Iced Vanilla Latte

    A really cute coffee shop tucked away on one of the main roads. Here you'll find a quality cup of coffee served with care, expertise and a smile. Enjoy a sip while sitting on their patio which overlooks rolling hills and trees. It's definitely worth a trip!

    Real chill spot. Lots of students studying and stuff. Pretty good coffee. Staff is nice.

    Extra hot vanilla latte (but was not extra hot)
    Trina M.

    Nice little spot in town. I was told it had very delicious coffee but I found it average. Customer service was medium, I say this because when my order was ready and I said thank you the barista just stared at me. A bit pretentious place for me. Great outdoor seating though.

    Iced matcha latte with oat milk
    Ellyzha A.

    Love this cafe! The interior is so relaxing and exactly a place you need to relax or study. There's parking in the front and back. I've been wanting to try this place for over a year and excited to finally do so. Service was very kind! I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk + sweetened with honey. Definitely one of the better matcha lattes I've had in the area. They use a chawan & chasen to lather their matcha! I'd definitely come back to try one of their food options.

    Almond Croissant
    Hope L.

    I got the almond croissant from this coffee shop and it was delicious! It was flaky, buttery, and melted in my mouth. It had the perfect ratio of almond frangipane in it and the almonds were chewy and fresh. I would try another pastry from this cafe!

    Preet P.

    Stopped in for a quick bite and coffee and really liked it! The café is quiet with plenty of seating (indoors and outdoors, front and back) and even offers free iced water. They have a nice selection of coffees and baked goods. We ordered two lattes, both were great. Parking is also available in the front and back, which makes it super convenient. This is perfect place to study or finish some office work. Not too pricey either. Service was quick as well. Maggie was great!!

My first visit was a to-go order of the Original Croissant, Pain Suisse, and Flan, and I loved everything so much that I came back again a month later when I was in the area. Their pastries are seriously exceptional, and I can totally see why they won the award. Personally though, I actually love the Pain Suisse even more! The dough was flaky, buttery, a right balance between crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside with each bite. And the Flan Vanille is on another level. I've tried so many different flans and even know how to make a pretty good one myself, but this is the kind of flan I would bring to a party if I wanted to impress everyone. The bakery itself is beautiful, and I love that you can watch the bakers working through the glass window. Their pastry display is also dangerous because everything looks so good, with tons of sweet and savory options. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well. Staffs were friendly and welcoming. I also tried their holiday berry croissant on my second visit. They definitely did NOT skimp on the filling lol. It was actually a little too much filling-to-croissant ratio for me, but I appreciate the generosity! Strawberry Cookie were soft and fresh Prices are pretty average for artisan pastries, and the quality and size is definitely worth it. Such a great bakery in Danville and I'll absolutely be back.

Items: Cinnamon Brioche $6.50 soft, fresh brioche w/a beautiful cinnamon to sugar ratio that had the perfect sweetness. Pain Suisse $6.50 a chocolate crioissant that has lingering pieces of crisp chocolate that oozed out while baking. The croissant had flaky layers that was very well crafted. Not overly sweet & the ideal pastry with a cup of coffee. Egg Turkey Breakfast Bun $6 a filling savory treat crafted w/attention & care. Mango Passionfruit Sorbet $12 had both a good balance of mango & Passionfruit purée but it was a little sweet due to the 2 fruits added, but it certainly was a nice way to cool off in 90 degree weather. Everything was authentic & the customer service was the cherry on top.

    Love Yifang tea so was excited to try Maymay's in the same building…read more Hands down .. no complaints . Everything was delicious ! And portions are huge ! My personal favorites were the mango sago and the pork adobo. I grabbed a bunch of onigiris to go and we even ordered more food to go. The mango sticky rice drink goes as well as you can expect with sticky rice trying to be sucked through a straw , but nonetheless delicious . By the time I got to the bingsu I barely had room I was so full. Same owners as Yifang, Super nice couple. Everything was clean. We carried my baby's stroller up the stairs when we got there and they told us about the side ramp so we didn't have to carry him out again which was considerate and thoughtful . Hoping to come back again soon for some more mango sago!

    I've had this spot on my list for a while and was happy to see Filipino cuisine in Walnut Creek. I…read moreactually tried contacting them multiple times via social media and via email to see if they could cater or if I could order dessert in bulk for a party back in January and never got a response. Even with that said, I still wanted to support. My mom and I wanted something quick and filling but didn't want burgers or tacos in the area so we decided to finally try Maymay's. I didn't realize it shared the same space as Yi Fang, so keep in mind it really is a place to snack and not dine. I read someone saying they had the best sinigang and adobo so I had to try it. I ordered one chicken adobo and one pork adobo. The girl who rang me up told me I would be called when my order was ready. She was preparing the rice and another male employee came out and was packing the meat and left it on the counter. She asked why he packed 2 pork adobos and his response was enough for me to not want to come back. He had a NASTY attitude and smart remark, he basically said it was obviously not the same and that he knows how to read the ticket and it honestly just made me feel hella awkward for the girl because of the way he talked to her. She seemed like she shook it off and then proceeded to tie the bag of my order. She then asked him if he wanted her to transfer the adobo he brought out in a pot from the back and he didn't respond. She then left my order on the counter without saying anything and started transferring the food anyway. So now I'm like.............. is my order ready or nah? I made my niece ask cus it was hella awkward and before that whole encounter another employee just started her shift. She was also the one who responded and was handing me my order and reading her face you could tell she also felt awkward about the situation and apologized. After the man left I asked the girl who rang me up if they were related or if he was just rude af and she said that they were and that it was her brother in law and the other girl mentioned he was the owner/boss. Regardless of being related or not I wouldn't want to work in an environment like that. What made it even worse was the food wasn't even that great lol. I'm sure there aren't a lot of people in Walnut Creek that know what adobo is supposed to taste like. When my mom and I took a bite my mom literally said "why is it like this?" Before I could even get a word out LOL but I was thinking the SAME thing. The adobo was HELLA sweet. It didn't have that savory and tangy flavor it's known for. There was no sour/salty/garlic coming through it seemed like just sugary meat like bad teriyaki... it was weird. The portions are decent but it doesn't matter if it's not getting eaten. Ugh, I just hate wasting food and I paid $18 each. Also a lot of the bowls were taken up by 3 hard boiled eggs. My daughter who has a sweet tooth on the other hand didn't complain but what 3 year old doesn't love sugar lol. My experience and the food was disappointing. I wouldn't come back unless it was for Yi Fang.
