I feel like I go here too much. So many gluten free options and drinks! Avocados toast are always so good! I cannot rave about them enough. Don't even get me started on the waffles. My favorite is the omega donut . The staff here is very kind and only have had good interactions. Seating can be rough on a weekend but people come and go. I like to read here when I can and enjoy my treats! read more

I love coming here. The vibe is very chill, staff are nice and friendly. My favorite drink is their maple matcha. It's flavorful and smooth. For pastries I love their crumb donut. The size is perfect, just to get a sweet in. Sorry, I ate it before taking a picture. There's plenty of seating inside and out. It gets packed, worth the wait. read more

Rooted Coffee - Maple matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I requested my coffee in a reusable ceramic cup. The staff flatly refused, claiming they were "out of cups." This was confusing and frustrating, as there was a clear stack of clean, visible cups right in front of them. When a business refuses to honor a simple, reasonable request--and even attempts to mislead the customer about inventory--it suggests a deep lack of respect for both the customer and the quality of their own product experience. I paid but left without the coffee. I don't think I would like to ever return here with this experience. read more

We decided to go to Rooted Coffee to get some work done and try out their drinks! It is located across a parking garage (1st hour free, 1.25 for each hour after). There is also street parking! We arrived around 2 and luckily got a table as soon as we got there. The WiFi is located near the register. WiFi worked well for us today! As for the drinks, we ordered an iced Americano and a pumpkin spice chai latte with almond milk. The coffee wasn't as strong as we'd hope for, but it was decent! The pumpkin spice chai latte was super heavy on the cinnamon or nutmeg. A bit too much spice. It tasted spicy. Overall, the vibes were great! It was a great atmosphere to get stuff done. I would come back to try other drinks and their food. I like how this is a plant based cafe as I am not a dairy girl! 10/10 experience, 7/10 drinks! read more

Everything is overpriced and the coffee and food is mediocre at best. $25 for an avocado toast and coffee is insane. Plus they ask to add tip but they make you clean up yourself. The place is ok just super crowded with not a lot of space to sit inside. Not a lot of areas where you can plug in your laptop. Overall - not that great, won't be coming back anymore. read more

I stop by Rooted Coffee every month when in the area for work. Friendly service, good coffee, and a nice environment. My last visit there I was lucky enough to have met the owners who were very lovely people. I would highly recommend Rooted Coffee if you're in the area read more

I got an espresso and an oat milk macchiato. The espresso had a nice layer of crema but was burnt and lacked body. Could've been the late hour (came in around 3:40 PM and they close at 4) but still, not what I was hoping for. 2/5 The macchiato was decently well executed. The oat milk masked the burnt edge a bit, but overall nothing stood out. 3/5. Based on the reviews I was a little disappointed, I might give it another try if I'm in the area well before closing time. read more

Feels like ratings for this place is overrated and coffee was just okay. The latte I had tasted a bit burnt. Everything was plant based so no real milk (you get the choice of almond and oat). The muffin I had was so so as well. Needless to say, I won't be coming back. read more

After an amazing Brazilian steakhouse lunch in Walnut Creek, we decided to stroll through downtown and find a good coffee spot--and wow, did we luck out with this place. We're big coffee lovers, so we always keep an eye out for unique local cafés, and this one immediately stood out. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting. You could feel the thought and personality behind every detail--from the merchandise and posters to the design--like everything had "roots," grounded and intentional. It created a really special, authentic vibe. The service was awesome. We weren't sure what to order, so we asked the cashier for a recommendation. I said I was leaning more toward a strong coffee flavor, and he recommended their cold brew with strawberry vanilla cold foam--and let me tell you, it was perfect. Refreshing, balanced, and exactly what I didn't know I needed. It's always great finding new coffee spots, but this one might just become a regular stop. If you love coffee and good vibes, this place is a must. read more

Been living in Walnut Creek for over a year now and cannot believe I have been missing out on this gem of a coffee shop! When I entered I immediately felt the cozy vibes. Pretty spacious area with tables and couches as well to sit at. They actually have their own coffee beans that they sell, which I plan to try at home. I got the matcha latte with oat milk and could tell they use high quality matcha. However, I would have liked my drink a bit stronger but otherwise tasted very delicious. Barista was very friendly and I did not have to wait too long for my drink. Parking - I would park at the nearby garage to avoid having to pay the meters. Overall, solid spot and I imagine it would be a nice place to either catch up with friends, have a first date, or get some work done! read more

As always rooted never disappoint me, the friendliness, the customer service, the ambience, the food and the drinks worth the walk, worth the drive, worth the long lines too. I picked up couple items well three of them!! Cortado with almond milk just because, couple freshly bake goods, you cannot go wrong with them because their bake goods are freshly made "reason why I love Rooted" that is my way to go if I am drinking an americano or in this case a cortado, it is a huge plus for me and also because it is vegan and gluten free. The chocolate chip melts in your mouth on the first bite you can feel the chocolate chip melted and how easily breaks with the first bite The poopie seeds lemon muffin, chewy, soft, you can taste the lemon flavor in the muffin not overpowering in sugars or flavors it is just right! My parents and I love their bake good so does the drinks read more

Love this VEGAN coffee/breakfast/lunch spot. I have to admit, I pretty much stick to getting the same toast every time I am there. It's my fav. Avocado Dream - Make it Fresh (minus the red pepper flakes). The balsamic and micro greens just give it that extra deliciousness. The thick slice of bread is also great. We made the mistake (not really) of ordering the Chunky Monkey smoothie. Now it's a must-do every time! I tried The Health Coach smoothie on my last visit. Also good! I wish that my lattes were a bit hotter. I did ask for extra-hot on my last visit. I think that's the way to go and will emphasize that I really do want it extra-hot on future visits. Two clean bathrooms. Indoor and outdoor seating. Compostable coffee lids, containers, etc. read more

Love supporting this local family business and their delicious drinks! A friend from the peninsula was visiting WC and we wanted coffee, so I took him here to try something unique to the area. We got the Hunny Lavender Matcha and the Orange Rosemary Matcha with oat milk, which had light matcha flavor with pleasant additional sweetness of the added flavors, and we loved them both instantly on the first sip. Service was friendly and helpful. There is seating inside and it's a nice space to hang out with a friend or relax or work solo. read more

Maybe I am bias but this place was just what I didn't know I needed to find. I recently became dairy free and having been a vegetarian for 18 years, I was jazzed to find this vegan haven. I have been to their cafe in PH but really enjoyed checking out their market items. They have a great selection of food, snacks galore, and beverages in addition to their cafe menu. I was also beyond excited to finally enjoy a DF PSL this season! Although I absolutely loved the maple matcha. I also grabbed some baked goods to share with the family- which were all tasty. Will for sure be returning! Also thank you to the friendly worker who was patiently taking my order :) read more

It was very busy here at 1pm on a Friday. Parking was an unpleasant experience as there's not much of it and quite a bit of traffic. This establishment lets in pet dogs which was not advertised clearly-- so unfortunately it's not really a safe spot for service dogs. It's also not so accessible. Most of their tables are bar height with tall stools. I ordered a matcha latte. The service was friendly. It took quite a while for the drink to be ready, though. Matcha latte tasted relatively good, not too savory nor too sweet. read more

I had no idea the place was vegan. Just saw it on a walk and decided to drop in. The coffee was just okay. We didn't get to try any of the breakfast options since we had already grabbed bagels next door but also they informed us that most of their food is vegan based and we weren't to keen on it. I will say it was really busy but service was fast which was great especially on a weekend with the morning rush. The decor is cute and there's plenty of seating. read more

Great coffee spot. Loads of seating for a bite or taking a couple meetings. The coffee is wonderful and so are the people. We loved the blueberry doughnuts. read more

If you haven't tried ROOTED, where have you been!? This plant based cafe has all the vibes. Some of my fave things here: On Saturdays they have a live DJ! Their waffles are gluten free, a huge win for celiacs. The staff is so kind and always cool. LOVE that they offer macadamia nut milk. My mom loves their golden milk. Soaking up the sun on their outdoor patio. My faveeeee person to see when stopping by is TONY! I can go on and ONnnnnn. Stop by and discover your fave things immediately. It won't take long to become part of their roots! read more

So vibey The service is great. The girls working at the barista bar are so sweet the coffee taste great to me. I got a maple brown sugar latte with oat milk a little extra sweet. I can actually taste the flavor of the maple and the brown sugar. And it's creamy I like the oatmeal they use. I live in LA so I'm sad that I only get to come here when I visit Quick reviews just for you read more

Rooted is a great little vegan spot for coffee and food. Their avocado toast is delicious, as are some of the other treats I've had. They offer loads of different plant-based milks, and they keep their cool pretty well when people get irritated they can't get regular milk because they don't realize it's 100% vegan. I've been there several times and I've always had a good experience. Last time I was a little disappointed because I asked about the golden latte and what was in it, how it's prepared, and, most importantly, what it was sweetened with. The cashier told me that it is not sweetened. I said "great!" because I didn't want something sweet! Perfect! When I got it, it was super sweet! I'm guessing that it is made with something that is sweetened and there are no additional sweeteners added. If so, I think they should specify that, especially if somebody is asking for something that's not sweetened. Just my two cents. I have learned from my mistake and I will absolutely ask more questions, but that was a bit of a fail. I did think it tasted good, but I didn't want anything sweet. I will continue to go back! read more

I've been wanting to try Rooted Coffee for a while now, and this week when I was finally back in the Dub C, I had the opportunity. I'm a huge fan of plant-based foods and super fuel to kick start or add a pick me up during the day, and appreciate that Rooted is "rooted" in this belief of nourishing only the good stuff for your body. They're a plant-based cafe that serves breaky, wraps, salads, baked goods, coffee, smoothies, juice, teas, and grab & go snacks in cool and hip co-working digs. I asked the staff for a recommendation on coffee drinks because the menu is super unique and fun. I ended with an iced matcha with a bit of maple syrup and omg, it was amazing! You can choose to add other additional flavor shots like monkfruit, agave, ginger, and coconut to name a few and oat/almond as the milk options. Apparently the iced matcha with maple is what all the cool kids are ordering, and it didn't disappoint. Food wise I ordered the Avocado Dream - Make It Fresh! All avocado toasts come with cashew cream cheese, hemp seeds, chili flakes, and this specific one was additionally topped with balsamic and micro greens. Honestly, perfection. If you're a fan of pumpkin spice and everything nice, there is an awesome seasonal menu currently including pumpkin granola, protein donuts, toasts, and more. I will def come back to co-work (WiFi password is near the register/pick up area) and order other fun drinks/snacks. Love what you're doing and stand for Rooted, thanks for fueling my week! read more

I wish they were more up front about ONLY being vegan/plant based. No where on google or a quick glance on the website said they were. I was forced to have macadamia milk in my coffee as I have an intolerence to most non dairy milk (first time having macademia milk). I am a sweet coffee drinker and the brown sugar cold brew was bland and she offered to make it sweeter but I did not even like the taste of the coffee itself. The crumb donut was amazing though so I will give them that. read more

So happy to have found this place! They're a plant-based shop with a full range menu from drinks to pastries and meal items. I ordered the sweater weather latte, which is a Cappuccino with cinnamon nutmeg maple syrup, and the blueberry donut which was good, but not as blueberry forward as others I've had. They allow reusable cups and are dog friendly so needless to say the vibes were immaculate. There's a comfy cozy couch area, along with table& bar seating, both indoor and outdoor. To top it all off I noticed the employees conversing with their regulars so I can tell there's a strong sense of customer service and community here. read more

Flew in last night and of course had to wake up and come here for breakfast. Absolutely love their avocado toast, and if you have tried their omega donut, you're missing out.

Nice, local coffee spot! The coffee here was pretty good and plenty of seats indoor / outdoors.

I didn't realize this place was a plant-based cafe when I initially visited because I thought my first drink was with whole milk instead of oat milk, but upon the second visit, the cashier clarified that the default is oat milk. Needless to say, I quite enjoyed the brown sugar latte and the winter solstice latte. Both were fantastically made with a good balance of sweetness and bitterness. Staff greets you with a smile and is super friendly. There is street parking, but also a parking structure with the first hour free. Inside has a good amount of seating and it seemed like everyone sitting in was ordering food. Overall, great place to get coffee, especially if your prefer non-dairy milk options because that's all they got. read more

Delicious food and coffee! The avocado dream is a great morning snack that's not overly filling or loaded with fat! You can get different variations but I prefer the standard version of the avocado dream. Their coffee is smooth and strong. The pleasant hill location is small but there is outdoor seating. If you want more of a sit down, try their Walnut Creek location right near the movie theater. Love rooted and the people! read more

Smoothie was like a thick creamy milk. Kind of fluffy is that makes an sense. Creamy I guess, but a bit on the runny side. Protein was a bit powdery. Not sure on the brand of almond butter used but it left an oily after taste? Rooted sure does know how to bake a vegan and gluten free cookie. I inhaled the cookie! Chewy, gooey and loaded with chocolate chips. I really couldn't believe it was vegan and gf. I'll be back asap! Huge interior with ample space to stay for a bit and Get some work done, visit with peeps, or just relax and enjoy the artwork posted throughout. read more

I recently discovered Rooted carries macadamia nut milk so we decided to drop in this weekend to try them out. Walking in the layout felt strange because the space wasn't designed to be a coffee shop (originally it was a lounge called Lift) and due to the odd setup its four person line was out the door. After a longer than expected wait, we encountered friendly service and ordered a blueberry doughnut and a cardamom maple latte with macadamia milk to share. The drink came out quickly but unfortunately had an odd burst of aftertaste which I found it unpleasant while it lasted, and the blueberry doughnut was similar to a glazed old fashioned but was a bit too doughy for my taste. At the end of the day, Rooted could definitely do with adding in an order tablet at the front, similar to Palmetto Superfoods, and while the honey enjoyed their wares, they sadly weren't a good fit for me. read more

Nestled in between restaurants and cafes in downtown Walnut Creek (Locust St) is an adorable cafe, Rooted Coffee. My kids and I are true blue avocado toast aficionados, and boy, does this place have delicious avo toast options. I tried the Avocado Dream (Make It Sunny), avocado toast topped with turmeric smashed chickpea with a housemade pesto drizzle. It was tasty, filling and exceptional in crunch (the bread is thick, but light and crispy toasted). My son tried the avocado toast topped with crunched up Takis (pictured). Also, delicious and let's face it fun. Their coffee roasts are bot to be skipped. I got a pound to take home and enjoyed their Boomerang blend (with heavy blueberry undertones) all week long. Made me think of future summer morning and iced coffee on the porch with my book. read more

Vegan place Super busy but only two people in front of me to order at 12:15 on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Lots of mobile orders on counter. While I was eating a group of 30 young folks arrived with line out the door!! Plenty of seats taken inside. Are outside at sidewalk table Pumpkin spiced chai latte, nice kick to the spice, not too sweet just enough. Would order again if available, maybe try ube next time. Took about 15-20 minutes for service. Smashed chickpea wrap, trying to be somewhat healthy before dessert. Chickpeas smashed like tuna salad with celery, with avocado guac, carrot, green, onions Looks really good. Nice ranch dressing like dip, which accentuated the whole wrap. Nice portion and enjoyed the wrap, saw the salad version and that looked good too. Also had seasonal wraps and salad centered around carrot and miso on menu Cookie, couldn't see chocolate chips. Resisted eating it till after wrap though. Nice and soft, chewy and hit the spot! Going back to try a breakfast menu version. Great all vegan choices read more
