    Avocado toast
    Cristina M.

    Finally made it to this place on this beautiful warm day to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and try their food here. It's a cute place, plenty of seating inside, cozy industrial modern vibe - they also sell their shirts. I got the sunshine wrap which was huge, two people can share it and I thought it was average tasting. It came with balsamic on the side that was tasty; I added sriracha and that gave it a nice kick and a fresh lemonade which I also thought was average, and my daughter had the avocado toast. We sat outside in their cute street patio that had plenty of seating which was great. I should mention that after we got in line, the line got longer and was still that way even after we got our food but with people in line, I had to kind of weave through people to go in and out to grab our drinks and get napkins and go back for more sriracha and weave myself back through the line to get back out to the patio. I can tell customers in line were annoyed because of people weaving through them so may be a good idea to have a definite 'line only' to make it easier for people to get in and out of the place and those in line to be just in line without people cutting them every second.

    Iced Americano and Pumpkin Chai Spice
    Cynthia P.

    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!

    Iced Matcha Latte with Ube Cold Foam
    Pedram B.

    Was looking for a nice place to work with good drinks and came across this place. The staff is friendly and there is a decent amount of space to work (just a lack of outlets). I got the iced matcha ube latte and was impressed with the sweetness level and quality of the drink. I'd come back.

    Oat milk macchiato and espresso
    Felix W.

    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.

    Their summer special cold brew with a strawberry vanilla cold foam on top
    Brian G.

    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.

    Strawberry foam Matcha

    The best coffee shop in Walnut Creek! The people who work at Rooted are very sweet and professional. Great customer service !!! make you feel like you're at home. The coffee shop is a great atmosphere. It's cute inside. They even have great salads and food.

    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

    Drinks in the market

    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 :)

    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.

    Hunny lavender Matcha and Orange Rosemary Matcha  with oat milk
    Chastity V.

    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.

    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

The couple in front took forever to order so we stood next in line for a little under 10 min.. we noticed there were several people outside of the small shop waiting for their orders. As we were in line to offer, several people came inside and asked the employees at the counter about their order status. We waited 30 min for 2 iced drinks!! Someone ahead of us was still waiting on her ONE iced coffee. I ordered an iced tiramisu latte and my brother ordered a matcha. My drink tasted like watered down milk. My brother's drink didn't taste like proper matcha. It's a shame because the place and location is nice. But staff doesn't greet you or seem friendly or even approachable. And the drinks are not good. I didn't bother for any food/pastries.

Before we got deep into our drive, we wanted to stop for some coffee, and this spot happened to be open and on our way. We're not super familiar with coffee in the Bay Area, and for most of our trip we hadn't chosen great shops to visit. Panama Bay, however, really surprised us. A lot about this spot felt unassuming to us. It's a small cottage on the corner that stands out from the taller, more modern apartment buildings around it. There's not much space indoors. All of their seating is outdoors, located next to their outdoor pickup window. It's a little more offbeat than your average coffee spot, but it's really charming. The great service was one of the first things I noticed. Our two baristas were very friendly, chatting with us about our trip, and giving menu recommendations. All of this was greatly appreciated, especially since their menu has many options. They had an extensive list of syrup flavors, lattes, pour over coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. I grabbed a banana latte, and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was flavorful, and the sandwich has the best chipotle mayo. My partner tried the Mayan pour over, and he really loved his drink. Everything that we ordered was fantastic, and the friendly baristas really made our visit. This was easily the best coffee spot we visited during our trip I definitely recommend dropping by this spot if you're nearby, and I'll definitely be back in the future if I'm ever back up north.

The pastries in the display case looked wonderful, but since we were going to lunch, none of us ordered anything other than coffee.

When we opened one of the boxes, it looked like our food had lost a fight with a tumble dryer. The presentation was so rough that we genuinely laughed because we couldn't believe it was being served that way. Good coffee and food can be forgiven for an occasional mistake, but poor customer service is much harder to overlook. Hopefully this was just an off day, because a little friendliness and a lot less attitude would go a long way.

Although the location is not prominent, pictures of their beautifully crafted drinks and delicious bánh mì sandwiches have been spreading across different social media platforms. So much so that they have been featured in reporting by several local media outlets. Out of curiosity, I decided to check this spot out with my brother and a couple friends on 08/29/2025. It wasn't busy when we walked in at around noon. A quick glance revealed a space that's tiny but well organized. We were greeted by Thuy, the friendly proprietor of the establishment. Since this was our first visit, it took us a while to figure out what we wanted. In the end, we each got a bánh mì sandwich and a beverage. Pricing was reasonable IMHO (see menu pic). I had the cold cut bánh mì and an iced coffee. I gave half of my sandwich to my brother, and he gave me half of his grilled chicken bánh mì in return. Both sandwiches were delicious! The baguette was excellent. It was crispy on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside. Thuy told me later on that she gets them from Duc Huong Sandwiches, a famed Vietnamese sandwich chain in San Jose. The homemade pâté, cold cuts, and grilled chicken were all delicious, and the produce was very fresh. The iced coffee was very good as well. We chatted with Thuy extensively before and after our meal. She told us she was a banker prior to opening this café. From our conversation, I could tell she takes pride in her work. We were all very impressed by her demeanor and business acumen. Should you find yourself in downtown Walnut Creek, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - You can either park at the library lot, Civic Park, or the Broadway city garage a block away. - Contactless payment. - They have limited indoor and outdoor seating.
