This is MY spot! I am here almost every weekend. I have tried almost all of their drinks and I always find myself going back to the strawberry matcha with an added shot. Their avocado toast is also divine. The inside ambiance is lovely, with beautiful plants everywhere! Seating is a little sparse on the weekends, but if you hang around you'll find a table. The employees are super kind and always friendly whenever I come in. I could not recommend Tellus Coffee more - absolutely try it out! read more

Came here to meet a friend and it was the perfect spot to do so. We came on a Saturday morning around 10:15am just before the rush. They have a great array of coffee and drink choices which I appreciate. They also had a ton of delicious pastries as well. The cashier was very patient and kind when we couldn't decide on what to get. The ambiance was super cute and cozy! Will come back here again or grab a cup of coffee if I am shopping/walking around the area. read more

The shop had a cool live greenery wall with an entrance to another room for more space to enjoy your coffee. They also sell some small plants. Coffee and plants it's a relaxing mix. First time having a peanut butter latte with oat milk. And must say I will order it again! It had a good sweet nutty taste to it. If you like peanut butter, you will enjoy it in coffee also. Excited to try the other flavors too but can't decide if I want to stick with the peanut butter. LOL. read more

Tellus Coffee - Peanut butter latte with Oat Milk. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

first time to come on a busy Friday morning well waiting for my car to be serviced at the Mercedes dealership in Walnut Creek. I saw that they had açai bowls, unfortunately, they should just stick to making coffee, The only cool thing about this place is the sign that says but first coffee The service was super slow per usual, and the presentation was not all that great. It ended up being more of a shake than an acai bowl And for $16, that's not a very good value to wait half an hour for an açai bowl that charged extra for additional toppings read more

This place serves coffee that has nothing to write home about. All the employees that work here is stuck up and no manners. I've been there a few times and each time is either getting the order wrong or not even one ounce of politeness. Geez, is it that hard to put a smile on your face in the morning?? read more

Best coffee shop in the Bay Area!! The syrups are all house-made, the staff does all the prep, everything is so fresh and so delicious. The ambiance is incredible, plants are everywhere and it brings a special freshness to the place. THE STAFF IS AMAZING. the friendliest people ever, it's what keeps me coming back (and the delicious drinks ofc). They have the best espresso and the beans are roasted in house. Highly recommend. Such good music taste too. read more

Today I visited Telus Coffee with my friend and ordered a chai latte for the very first time. Unfortunately, it turned into a very unpleasant and even dangerous experience. Shortly after drinking it, I developed a severe allergic reaction that caused my entire lip to swell badly. The reaction was so serious that I had to seek emergency care right away. I specifically asked for a chai latte, but what I received had unexpected spices or ingredients that I have never experienced in any chai latte before. I do not understand why such additives would be included without clear disclosure. Customers trust cafés to serve drinks that are safe and prepared with care, and this trust was completely broken for me today. It is extremely disappointing to walk into a coffee shop expecting to enjoy a simple cup of tea and instead leave with a medical emergency. This raises serious concerns about ingredient transparency, preparation methods, and overall attention to customer safety. I genuinely question how I can trust Telus Coffee in the future after such an incident. Clear communication of ingredients and proper handling should be non-negotiable in food and beverage service. Experiences like mine should never happen. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 This cafe has a beautiful interior that makes you want to sit and stay awhile, while you stare at everything inside. It has a beautiful foliage wall towards the back of the cafe that's massive. Because of the large space and high ceilings, the space never feels too cramped. Also, it's perfect for chatting with friends and it doesn't get too loud. Food: 5/5 The drinks were delicious. I tried the Cereal Milk Latte (I think it was a special and not on the main menu). This latte is my new go-to drink. The cereal milk combined with the coffee flavor was perfect. Highly recommend. I also tried the strawberry matcha latte. It was a solid beverage choice as well. Service: 5/5 The staff here were nice and prompt at making drinks. They also kept the establishment very clean. I highly recommend this cafe the next time you're in the area. read more

We ordered the Venus Latte and Cardamom latte. Both had very strong flavors, which I love in a specialty latte! I went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed! There's a good amount of seating and I was lucky enough to snag one of the tables in the back room, which feels so cozy and private. I also love all the plant vibes going on. This is definitely a place that I'd go back to if I want to splurge on a delicious and unique coffee! read more

Cute little coffee house on Main Street in WC. Excellent cappuccino and delicious chocolate Babka. Only downside are the large number of solo computer workers who occupy tables for hours. read more

Great atmosphere. Open, brick wall, clean, comfy seating, chill music choices, cool room in the back and they do a good job making the street side patio feel 'green.' Service is friendly and efficient. Prices are in line. Nice food menu: empanadas, croissant sandwich, eggs, smoothie bowls. Too much good to list. Top notch coffee joint. read more

Hands down my fav coffee shop. The music, the vibes, the plants Their strawberry matcha is the best I've ever had & I can eat their empanadas all day every day. read more

Another business that has made the bad decision to go cashless. Cash allows people to transact in privacy, and allows access to people without bank accounts. Cash is legal tender for all debts, and should be welcomed everywhere. I try to support smaller, local businesses whenever possible, but I cannot support cashless, so although the coffee and service were pretty good, I won't be returning until they reverse this misguided and discriminatory policy. Boycott cashless. read more

4.5/5 This is definitely my new favorite coffee shop in the East Bay! Very vibey spot I love all the plants on the walls and there is more seating in the back. I'm sooo particular on my coffee having been a barista for years. I got the burnt honey latte and bf got the dark chocolate mocha. The foam on the drink says it all! When you have micro foam like that and they poured a swan you know its about to be delish. Wasn't too sweet and very well balanced. I could definitely taste the coffee which is super important to me. The only reason I took away .5 stars is because the avocado toast was a but lackluster. It had some kind of chipotle spread, avocado, chickpeas, micro greens, and pickled onions and honestly it wasn't cohesive at all. It was also under seasoned so I won't be ordering that again. My bf got their acai bowl and it was very soupy. I'll have to try their other food but for now sticking with the coffee! read more

I had to get my car maintenance nearby so I decided to take a stroll around Walnut Creek today. Was craving a bit of something to drink, so I stumbled upon this place on my walk. Breakfast Sandwich: This was a delicious sandwich. The croissant was flaky, the eggs were nicely cooked and the cheese and bacon paired it all well together. It was very warm and not burnt at all. I really enjoyed this breakfast sandwich they had to offer. Strawberry Matcha: This was quite a refreshing drink. I really enjoyed the medley of flavors of the oat milk, strawberry purée and matcha at the top. It was not overly sweet or bland. It was the right amount for what I got. Overall, I see myself coming back here again read more

Tellus is definitely in my top 5 out of the best coffee shops in the east bay. Their coffee is delicious & their staff is incredibly friendly. This is a very nice cafe to hangout with friends, or go to the back room that has a darker ambiance for work. Try the ice tuxedo mocha when you come. read more

great matchas and coffee! however, every time i come here i get rude stares from the staff. i submitted an online order, arrived at the store when it said it would be ready, and one of the employees gave me a rude stare and told me to wait. i waited for another 20 minutes and never heard my name called out. once i stood up, the same employee looked at me rudely then said your drink has been here and the barista yelled my name loudly. as i left, i felt a little uncomfortable. great matcha tho read more

I wasn't totally impressed by the coffee, surprisingly. The ambience however is 10/10 and their smoothies are sooo delicious. I've tried many baked items as well, and these have all been so good. Most recently came and had the chicken empanadas which were very filling. Baristas were friendly, service was quick :) would come back, however wouldn't be for the coffee read more

This place has been a staple since they opened some 4 or so years ago. Their ingenuity in coffee recipes is so good, I've seen other shops blatantly copy them, they are THAT good. Brown Sugar Date latte with coconut milk is a go to. for me, but everyhting is awesome. Their small bites are also excellent, empanadas, pastries, all of it. And the ambiance is killer. If you need some quiet darkenss for a short bit, the back room is great. The front seats next to the huge roll up and screened door is the bomb on those golden state days. Check it out! read more

If the service was better I would return, but nobody looks happy to serve customers. The Asian guy at the register didn't even acknowledge me. I said hello and he responded with what would you like? My order was incorrect and my coffee was cold. read more

So cute! I stopped in over the weekend while I was running errands and was thinking of ordering a smoothie or getting a snack... when i saw the "not so secret" menu, I changed my mind! I ordered an iced mint matcha latte with key lime cold foam and it was exactly what I needed. If you're feeling adventurous, there were lots of things on the menu that looked amazing. This would be an awesome place to come work, since there is a little vault-like room in the back that's a bit separated from the cafe area. It seemed nice and quiet back there! The best part, though, was the plants, and that's why I stopped there to begin with :) cheers! read more

I can understand why people love this place. They have really tasty and different drinks - I love peanut butter so I had their peanut butter latte. Delicious! There were so many other interesting drinks to choose from including a seasonal pecan apple latte to so so many others. I'll have to return to try others! It is a popular spot so it can be tough to find a table or seats if you're meeting up with somebody. I was solo so it was easy to find somebody to share a table with. Two hours of free wifi. read more

What a great local coffee spot! My friend and I came here around 11 at this morning and it was crowded. The sign of a good coffee spot. I got the pumpkin spice latte and I think my friend got an americano. I normally get sugar free syrups/stevia/Splenda in my coffee drinks but even with the non-sugar free pumpkin syrup, it wasn't overly sweet. Service was friendly and the drinks came out fast, despite the crowd. Tellus seems to be a good spot to work, as evidenced by the outlets and people on their laptops. They have some unique drinks I don't typically see at other coffee spots so I plan to try more of those in the future. I'd absolutely come back, especially during the week when it's likely less crowded. read more

Went here yesterday with my dearest cousins for great coffee and ordered the following: iced brown sugar latte, caribbean queen and iced lavender latter with oat milk for meeeh! Caribbean queen was refreshing! Iced brown sugar latter was just pretty normal. And of course, my iced lavender latte is creamy and yummers! Just with a taste of lavender and not too overpowering. When we get there there, place was packed, which was a good sign. The kitchen was already closed so we missed out on the avocado toast, but the more reason for us to come back and try it! If you notice, I did knock out a star because the barista missed a crucial detail, to make my cup, DECAF. Don't get me wrong, I love caffeine but not at 3:30PM, since it will disrupt my sleep and it did. We'll definitely be back! read more

Not the same cafe then when I first came here. The vibe and drinks are not it. Menu and place gives typical WC energy now, would not recommend as a hang out or study space but if your the older generation and trying to fit into that WC type, this is your spot :) read more

This place pretty much nails their aesthetic: sleek and chic, yet simultaneously vibrantly green. Tellus is a lovely cafe that oozes comfort and it's a cozy place to chill out for longer if so desired and the folks there are just as warm in their manner. They also have cute mugs if you're having your coffee 'for here', pastries can be toasted just right for ready consumption, and there's plenty of space above so it feels rather liberating. Of course, there's seating in the back for folks that prefer a more closed off space too. Something for everyone? That all being said, navigating their menus is a bit challenging. The placement isn't centralized so things are a bit ecclectic, so take a moment to figure out their offerings from the boards in front and the menus situated up top (I couldn't really snap everything easily myself). Wide variety of stuff though ranging from baked goodies to breakfast items, tea, smoothies, coffee, and 'secret menu' coffee. Went with safe options of something from their specials menu and a pastry to sate my hunger. Seating is quite plentiful with the space they do have. They also have uncovered outdoors seating right outside at the street level, which makes it quite convenient for quick casual hangouts. ==Almond croissant [5/5]== This was beautifully flaky with just the perfect level of sweetness to accentuate the plentiful almond flavor without overwhelming it. Lovely treat to go with my coffee. ==Cocoa Horchata Latte [5/5]== Wonderfully aromatic from the horchata spicing; slightly gritty texture from all the spice fixings, but flavor more than made up for it. Very soothing without swinging too far in any direction, yet still a smooth coffee to drink. It's a mean cuppa they serve and I'd have it daily if my caloric intake could handle it (spoiler: it cannot). read more

Favorite coffee place in Walnut Creek. Ambiance is great if you decide to have your coffee there. Some of my of my favorites are the burnt honey latte and the fresh watermelon lime juice. Pastries are fine but the empanadas and toasts are really good. Everyone is super nice too. read more

I ordered a traditional vanilla latte, which was a good latte. Nothing super special, but I do want to try a few specialty drinks and food when I come back. I love the layout and ambiance of this place. It's so cute in decor and it does get busy! I tried to work remote here for a few hours and it was a lot louder than other coffee shops I tend to visit. Thankfully I have noise cancelling headphones so I was able to get through some meetings. If you're looking to just work with no meetings, highly recommend! read more

The honey and I stopped in without realizing that we'd made it right before closing. I've always loved this building and interviewed here when it was an insurance company. The service at the front was incredibly friendly, offering us several pastries for free since they were about to close and I quickly ordered a peppermint mocha no whip with coconut milk. Sadly my drink came with whip and when I let them know they turned around and scooped it out - but the cup I got back was a mess. Whip cream dribbling down the side and cream remnants on the edge. Luckily I'm not lactose intolerant (just dairy free) and was able to simply wipe around and inside the cup with several napkins, but it wasn't a great first impression. My expectation was a touch of ground peppermint or pieces of peppermint within the drink (something like what Starbucks does with a mix) but in reality it was a small candy cane on the rim (which was still pretty cute). I dropped it in the bottom which seriously improved the taste of the drink towards the end, but without the candy cane it was essentially a basic (lukewarm) mocha, and not a great one at that. My recommendation would be to crush peppermint fine enough to melt in the coffee or place it at the bottom of the cup before being filled. So all in all, although the service and location are amazing, the quality and taste of the drink just weren't high enough to have me return. read more

Very vibey spot, pretty busy on a Sunday morning with very friendly service. I didn't get the food but it looked delish. Matcha latte was done well. Mine nor my friends drink was very sweet so if you are into a sweeter latte make sure you specify! Still have to try some other shops in the area to compare but very good overall with prices just as steep as everywhere else (lol its the bay). read more

Tellus Coffee - Matchca Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This place got voted best coffee shop? I don't understand how. They pay no attention to how coffee outside of Starbucks is supposed to made, different drinks like Cappuccino & latte & macchiato have different names because it has to do with the ratio with espresso to milk. No cappuccino should be 16oz. The fact that everyone is ordering things for the name at different prices for essentially just different sizes lattes is a scam. Nothing there is fresh or housemade, it's sourced from other places & or some concentrates. I seriously don't get it read more

Tellus is one of my favorite coffee shops in downtown Walnut Creek; from their high quality roasted beans to the living plant wall, Tellus is an all-around excellent place to meet up with friends while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. Starting with the beverages, Tellus offers a solid menu of espresso and pour-over drinks, including an ever-evolving seasonal menu (I recommend trying the burnt-honey latte if it's available). Their beans are roasted in-house and are incredibly fresh. I have never tried their food, but the pastry case is well-stocked with a wide range of sweet and savory treats. They also offer made-to-order food, and one of these days, I want to try their empanadas. If you plan to stick around to enjoy your beverage, there is plenty of seating in the back room as well as at the front of the shop. The overall ambiance feels upscale but welcoming, and the walls are lined with plants. Make sure to grab a punch card at the register, since you will probably become a regular! read more

Needed to study before running errands and Tellus Coffee in the heart of downtown was on my list of places to try - I'm glad I did! The interior was pretty spacious but, since it was pretty busy, I was lucky to even score an open table. I'd say it's a great space to get work done as long as you don't mind a bit of a louder environment. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a look at the back room that other reviews have mentioned since there seemed to be a meeting going on. I ordered an iced brown sugar and date latte with oat milk and it was amazing! I really liked how it wasn't too sweet but it had the right about flavor to distinguish the brown sugar and date. Service was also great! I was a little overwhelmed by so many options but the lady at the register walked me through what she recommended and I was able to land on my order. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Personally, I know I'm coming back to try more of their drinks and food menu items! read more

Completely jet lagged from coast to coast travel, I needed good coffee and Tellus was just the spot! Gorgeous interior, modern and definitely going ot be a bit with the Instagram crowd - we enjoyed a beautiful Fall day in their seating area outside! Service is a little slower but expected as it has a lot of our overs - but wow was it good! I was decided between a lavender latte or pour over but my need for a serious jolt of caffeine prevailed - however they added a touch of lavender to my pour over and it was the best!! They also have pastries, small bites and evening drinks ! Great spot and will return read more

It was warm & positive vibes radiate when we walked through the door with our big group of cousins. I never noticed this shop before until yesterday. I need to start getting back out more often. This place was a hidden gem! The staff is super friendly and chill. Everyone smiles and acknowledges every person that walks through the door and when leaving they bid you farewell Merry Christmas and a warm thank you for visiting. Customer service is #1 and they deserve the full 5-star rating. Atmosphere is positive, good music, natural light from sun windows in the ceiling. Restrooms even lit w natural lighting if I remember correctly. And there is another nice more lower lit and cozy room as you walk past the restroom in the back. People were on the laptops and just chillen w their friends. I had a soy lavender latte w snow man design ! Cousins had a peanut butter type latte or hot chocolate, I saw an iced smores drink, and others. Mine was flavorful and yummy. There is a smoothie menu and a coffee menu in addition to a cute plaque menu at the register.in addition they serve bomb looking breakfast items that I am looking forward to trying soon! Our cousins Christmas brunch day was memorable, thank you Tellus, I will be stopping by to continue trying more yummy drinks & treats that you have to offer! read more
