Contra Costa Coffee featuring Ginger's Gelato — Restaurant in Walnut Creek

I’m torn. The staff have always been service nice. Not overly friendly. The drinks have however always been gross. I really try to support local. I do. I’ve gone here on an off for the past 4 years an every drink I’ve gotten is gross an flavor less. Even the chai was off. I ended up tossing it. I understand it’s not Starbucks an I frequent many other local coffee shops. I’ve tried everything from hot to cold coffees to teas here. An every single time the flavor is either off or it’s just down right gross. The cost is significantly more then a Starbucks as well for size an what you get. A small latte or cold coffee here 12oz will run you about $6-7. A very thin slice of bread will run you $4. The side of the store is a mess. It’s been several years an it still looks the same. Are they trying to sell something? Is it storage? Could all this stuff in the front be moved else where? It’s a quiet place to work for sure. Needs better lighting an the hours are not late. I’ve tried this place an avg of 6 times a year. Over the last 4 years. Really hoping for that amazing drink but have yet to come across it. Let’s hope...

Felt like having coffee and supporting a local business...a mistake, in this case. Leather jacket and aquanet behind the counter was polite enough but did not offer any kind of greeting, was not wearing gloves, touched everything without demonstrating any kind of hand sanitization (or any sanitization)...honestly, he could have been out back working on Marty McFly's car before i strolled through the door. When covid started, these kinds of oversights could have been forgiven, but nine months in, all vendors and retailers should have brought safer practices to term. Keep in mind i haven't even made it to the coffee yet: bitter, too much so for house coffee, and delivered from a carafe that could have been in situ since Cornwalis surrendered at Yorktown. Creamer was right at its expiry date, etc etc. Before the shutdowns, i truly believe, based on other reviews, that this place was a popular and reputable coffee house, but i would not recomnend this business to anyone, at least not yet. If you are considering supporring a lical business, reconsider on this one until they improve their...

Erin and her staff are very friendly; I stopped in after today after noticing this place next to the post office yesterday. My co-worker and I had a delicious cold dessert after lunch and I'll def be back. I mixed hazelnut and tiramisu flavors and my friend had strawberry in their medium cup. I topped mine with a s'mores cookie and it was outstanding. The total was 2 mediums (which are good size) and a big cookie was $14.

They open at 8:30 with coffee (not just gelato!) so come in early! Plus, every $30 gets you $3 off with their rewards program. Just give them your phone number at...
