They get their beans from an exceptional source for quality and fair trade practices (unsure if they share it broadly). They also roast the beans themselves! I had Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, light roast (my all-time favorite). Though I always enjoyed East African coffee, a trip to Ethiopia solidified Ethiopia as the core to coffee's emergence and the passion of growers. The owner was engaging, kind, and helpful. I highly recommend visiting Medleno.

This place is small, basically big enough for you to order at the counter, check out the pastries, and see the coffee bean options. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon and was greeted right away. I ordered a hot vanilla latte and it was made right away. Prices are great, coffee nowadays is too much but this quality was well worth it. Only downside for me is that there is no place to sit. Other than that, I look forward to coming back! Loved the coffee from here!

We sat in the back and it was really cozy. There were upholstered chairs around small tables, more like a club than a coffee shop; I loved it! The front area is brighter and sleeker than the back; more like what I'm used to in a coffee shop. The pastries in the display case looked wonderful, but since we were going to lunch, none of us ordered anything other than coffee. I had a small cappuchino and I think others got cappuchinos as well, another small and two mediums. The small was $5 and the mediums were $6. The baristas were friendly and welcoming and made a great cappuchino. Highly recommend!

First time, staff was friendly and my cappuccino was good. Not great, but good. The Place was crowded, but not terrible. However, most people were on their laptops "working". Second time, place is packed and almost everyone is on their laptop "working". Feels like a wework cafe. Staff? Seemingly bored and not thrilled about my order. I asked for an espresso with a significant amount of steamed milk and foam. What I got? A dribble barley filling the bottom of the cup (which was to go, and I ordered to stay). Finally, they don't take cash. Cash is king. Would I go back? Nope. I don't know Walnut Creek very well but assuredly, there's other places that are more suitable for me.

It's amazing how this place has grown, and I'm glad to see what they've done over the years. Their roastery is based in Oakland, but they have started to branch out to Contra Costa and other areas of Alameda County, which I have found quite surprising. I decided that trying their newest store out in Walnut Creek would do it justice -- and indeed, it tastes just like the one I tried in Oakland -- vibes, coffee drink, and pastry, everything with it's local taste. I got an easy vanilla latte -- and a butter croissant. Both tasted just as yummy as they say in other foodies' reviews. The only downside is the guest patio next to their stop -- I wasn't even sure if I was even allowed to sit there. I wish they could have made it clearer for other patrons so that they wouldn't get confused like I did.

Very eclectic in the best way! I'm very particular with music and have an inside joke with my wife about hijacking the Bluetooth at certain places to play some "actual music" but damn. Find myself removing my headphones to listen to what they have playing. Sometimes I feel like I'm inside an NPR segment. Lol The coffee and tea have been consistently tasty. Great espresso, tasty tea options, and no one rushes you out. just gentle background life happening around you. Another shoutout to the staff. Literally EVERYONE has been amazing and they're always in such great moods. In return, all the customers are super friendly too. Love it :)

The baristas seem poorly trained, and they don't have a solid process anymore. They've expanded their space, but that just makes the wait and confusion worse. I recently was in their new space and ordered two simple cold brews--no modifications. Where they used to pour it straight from the tap, now they treat it like a latte--and everything takes forever. If you want to linger in their aesthetic (albeit chilly) space, maybe that's fine. But if you just want takeaway coffee, be prepared to invest 20-30 minutes. It's no longer the quick, quality stop it once was.

But trust me, you are. They roast their coffee beans in-house, which immediately caught our attention. Berk himself was there, and he was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. He walked us through different beans, let us sample several options, and even made a couple of drinks for us while asking thoughtful questions about what we like and what we were looking for. It genuinely felt less like a transaction and more like an experience. We also learned that Berk helps people get started with their own coffee carts, which was really cool to hear about and speaks to how passionate he is about the craft and the community. We've since caught one of their pop-ups and loved it just as much. Special shoutout to the cold brew beans--they're fantastic. If you're into coffee and enjoy meeting the people behind what you're drinking, this is absolutely worth checking out. Berk is just a great guy, and the experience reflects that.

I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee, which came with the owner's recommendation to add pandan and coconut milk. It was bold and delicious, though I wished the serving size was larger - just a few sips and it was gone. Despite the smaller size, the prices are reasonable. I look forward to trying other drinks in the future.
