Shemroon Cafe — Restaurant in Orinda

A Gem of a Café — Delicious, Creative, and Full of Heart

This café is truly a standout among local spots. The pastries are homemade and crafted with high-quality ingredients—you can taste the care in every bite. Their Zaffran ice cream is absolutely top-notch, with salted pistachio toppings that take it to a whole new level. It’s a true game-changer.

The almond cake—vegan, moist, and rich—is highly recommended, while the blueberry lemon pastry is beyond delicious, bursting with flavor and balance. If you’re craving something more traditional, the baghlava and adasi are freaking good and full of authentic taste.

I finally found the breakfast I’ve been looking for for years, right here in the Bay Area! Everything I ate was incredibly delicious. I ordered the savory breakfast plate, and it tasted exactly like the breakfast I make at home every morning. And the tea… unbelievably good. They also have a sweet breakfast, which I’m definitely planning to try next time.

I also got the chocolate cake, and it was perfection — the texture was spot on, the sweetness was light and not overwhelming, and the cream was absolutely amazing. Truly the kind of dessert you can enjoy without feeling heavy.

I came all the way from Oakland, and it was absolutely worth it. They’re offering such an incredible service to the Orinda community. If I lived in Orinda, I’d try to come here every day.

And the staff is very friendly and sweet! You’re amazing — keep up the great work🙏

The shop is bright, spotless, and cozy without feeling cramped, and you can tell the team takes real pride in their craft. Service was friendly and attentive, with great menu suggestions for first-timers. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger, meet a friend, or grab a treat to go. Quality is top-notch and the prices are very fair for the freshness and care you get. If you’re nearby, do yourself a favor and visit—this is a neighborhood gem...
