They are generally very consistent and I can really appreciate the strong espresso taste and the fact their drinks aren't just dowsed in milk and sugar. Also really appreciate how they hand whisk every matcha and believe this contributes to the best tasting matcha. Also awesome staff, plenty of seating, and clean. I love it here and it's quickly become my fave lite coffee spot.

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!

This creamery is located inside a really big plaza located deep in Concord less than a half a mile away since Baskin-Robbins. BUT the creamery definitely offers some fresh homemade options that aren't offered at your chain ice cream shops. The lady was really patient and helpful when my children were trying to figure out what they wanted. They ended up going with Mango and Cookies and cream in a waffle cone. Prices are what you would pay at any ice cream shop.

Excited to try this independent coffee shop for the first time! Unfortunately, parking was a…read morechallenge, with a tight driveway off busy Clayton Road and very limited spaces. Once inside, the loud disco music playing both indoors and outdoors made it hard to escape the noise. On the bright side, the service was great! The strawberry foam matcha was absolutely out of this world, and the espresso was strong, rich, and creamy. Overall, great drinks and service, but the parking situation and loud music were the only drawbacks. Hopefully, they can turn down the volume a little!

A cozy dessert spot that's quite a bit from a major freeway, but worth the drive! There were only…read moretwo other groups when we came in, but staff was quick to prepare our food and checked in with us. No music was playing, but there was plenty of seating and air conditioning to escape the heat. There were so many options and I'd love to come back to try more! We got the biscoff bingsu with Oreo ice cream substitute and it was sooooo good. Light, refreshing, sweet, and easily shared between two people. Beautifully presented, and utensils were available near pick up. We ordered from the kiosk and it showed plenty of pictures. Do be careful, it can melt quick!

I ordered the Strawberry Snowflake Bingsu & hibiscus strawberry tea…read more Strawberry Bingsu 3/5 I thought the bingsu was okay. The first couple bites were good but the more I ate the more I didn't like it and thought it was okay. The strawberry wasn't sweet but was sour. I was having a weird grainy textured like paste in my mouth with every bite. Ice cream is okay. I didn't finish the bingsu and ate only about 15-20% Hibiscus Strawberry Tea 3/5 I didn't really taste the strawberry and thought it was mostly watered down. Ambience 3/5 Plenty of parking outside. Tables are a little dirty that I wiped it down. The cashier area was pretty dusty when ordering and grabbing utensils. Service 4/5 Staff seem to be friendly. It's very minimal since it's ordering then self serving. The order did take pretty long considering there was only a couple other folks inside. I would suggest be very careful when picking up your tray with bingsu because it tends to slide around the tray very easily. I almost dropped mine but luckily didn't. Maybe I'll come back to try the mango next time since it's a popular order.

My daughter really wanted to try this place - one of those TikTok things - so we gave it a go!…read more She got the iced tiramisu latte - she liked it but found it a bit sweet which is to be expected by that type of drink. We got the cardamom Turkish coffee which was really good. Service was unfortunately painfully slow - the place was near empty and I understand it takes time to craft the drinks but 15 minutes later we were still waiting! We also got one cheese borek which was great! The Place is also a little steep - three coffees ( two were double espresso size ) and a pastry ran at $33 That said the staff were nice, enjoyed my coffee and glad we gave it a try

I got off work and wanted to take my son to get a smoothie. It was after 7pm and my regular…read moresmoothie place was closed. We tried this spot and I was a little skeptical since they have coffee, smoothies, random desserts and pizza?? making a very mixed and random menu....usually not a good sign. I ordered the berry bliss smoothie and my son got the signature smoothie. The berry smoothie was average tasting for $12+. It was nothing special. I would have liked to add protein powder but the $3 add on was a lot so I felt slightly defeated in not having protein added to my smoothie. My son got his and said "it tastes like nothing". I thought he was exaggerating and I tasted it myself. No, he was right. It actually tasted like nothing. It had no flavor at all. I'm not sure how that happens. He threw it away. It was very disappointing. We also got the basque cheesecake which was actually pretty good. Overall, for a $34 price tag including a $12 smoothie that we threw away, would I come here again? No, I won't be back. But we tried it and this is my experience. Go see what you think.

I found that their new food menu is not as good as their old menu which has made it so I go here less often. The baristas are kind and are able to answer any questions well.

Let me start by saying I absolutely adore this place. I found this place on yelp and sent my…read moreboyfriend to pick up smoothies one morning on a whim. The first time got us hooked. The morning ritual is the best smoothie I've ever had. It's hard to balance health and flavor, but this was both healthy and incredible. They list the ingredients used in each smoothie, so you know all of what they contain. You can even add different boosters such as mass muscle, etc. It's located inside of a gym, to the right side of it. Don't be thrown off, you don't need a membership to enjoy the fantastic smoothies. The workers have been really sweet each time we've visited, and when we ordered via Uber it was ready upon arrival. One of the only drawbacks is how expensive it is. I also really wish that they listed their nutrition facts online. For such a health oriented company it's shocking that they don't, and especially a company of decent size. The smoothies contain dates, nuts, etc. So although they are good ingredients they can be high in fats, so it's important to know. Our smoothie also has coffee as well which we enjoy, but knowing the caffeine content would be appreciated. My last order also had huge white frozen balls that were unblended in it which was odd, I'm not quite sure what they were. If the price was lower, we would come here much more often. It is a great way to start your morning, and makes you feel fantastic afterwards.

So I had to try her copy cat drink at beaming. As a smoothie alone it's prob a 3.5/5. Nothing special but I like how relatively clean the ingredients are - I am sick of the protein epidemic going around but this isn't their fault this is based in a gym. It wasn't super sweet but I felt like was very flavorful either. Compared to erewhon 3/5 nothing like ms Biebers smoothie- sorry Overall 3.5/5 I probably wouldn't get it again as it wasn't special but fun to know about. Might go back and try their acai it looked huge and delicious
