Tellus Coffee

"Beautifully designed interior with real plant wall and skylight. Was disappointed they told me no more acai bowls at all (although menu was still posted) and $1 surcharges for alternative milks even at cortado size. Price was exorbitant. Chicken empanada was okay, but half empty."

"Updated review on 3/3/2024 - adding new pix. Flavors lean towards Italian style of espresso with deep, toasted arabica notes. Since my prior review I have visited a few times and the quality while good has not been consistent. I hope the very kind owner who I met on a prior visit is there next time. Pro tip: buy an extra cortado and pour over vanilla ice cream when you get home. Original review of 7/29/2023 below: Delightful establishment for enjoying quality coffee drinks and light food in clean upscale setting. Not sure what took me so long to visit Tellus and glad my wife drove us there. The interior is clean, nicely decorated and above all welcoming. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast light plates are tasty, healthy and quickly served. Many tables available in the main space with views inside and to the street. There is a quiet back room with soft lighting for more intimate conversation, which made our experience feel like a date. The room can also provide a nice break from busy day shopping, especially if hot. The lattes and cappuccino exhibited strong coffee notes with good crema. I have visited several times and the quality is good. Street parking is a challenge on most days. Do not let that discourage you from visiting - just plan to spend extra time enjoying the special atmosphere which warrants a 5 star rating."

"Came here on the recommendation of a friend. It’s a great vibe in here. Coffee is excellent and I love the decor. The playlist was great as well. Gonna have to come back and try the food."

"Bright, airy, open with high ceilings. Great place to get artisan lattes. There is a seasonal coffee menu with flavored lattes (hot or cold) to choose from. Rose latte and Pistachio latte are excellent options. Tellus Coffee also sells “poured coffees.” In dining, you can have your latte served in a ceramic mug. Great place to meet a friend or work (free 2 hr wifi). There is a wall of house plants and a back room if you want a quiet place to work. Great selection of yummy baked goods and pastries. There is also outdoor cafe seating too out front."

"One of the most amazing and curious cafe in Walnut Creek. Loved my 2% latte, the Venus latte is the most beautiful thing. The croissant is amazing, and awesome service as well. This is as perfect as you would like your neighborhood cafe to be. There is also an outdoor seating space with green walls and chairs which is great for some outdoor experience although we were able to sit inside. We’ll be back."
