Lafayette Public House is my new breakfast + coffee religion.
If you see me there every morning, mind your business — their coffee is so good it should come with a warning label. One sip and I suddenly believed I could run a marathon, file my taxes, and start a small business before 9AM.
Breakfast? Forget it. Too good. The kind of good where you stare at your plate wondering why every other breakfast you’ve had in life didn’t love you like this. The toast? Perfect. The eggs? Angels probably made them. The vibes? Cozy enough that I considered canceling the rest of my day.
The staff is friendly, fast, and somehow remembers what I ordered before I do. Witchcraft, but the wholesome kind.
If you need a morning pick-me-up that turns into a whole personality shift, this is the spot. Five stars, easy.

The food was so good here! We had some apps (chips&salas and the beef empanadas) which were both super good. The short rib tacos had such great flavor. Also the Bloody Mary was Chefs kiss
The service as well was amazing, everyone was really nice and had great recommendations.

Really cute place with a great outdoor atmosphere. Egg sandwich was a little bland but burrito was really good. Veggie melt was good except there were several pieces of raw garlic in it? Like full cloves!

Cute coffee shop with lots of outdoor and some indoor seating (sonme plugs). There’s pastry and food as well as coffee/tea selections.
Parking is free till 10 am (lots of spaces in the morning) and metered parking after 10.

It turns out that CoffeeShop is part of the Lafayette Public House which is a restaurant that offers food and drinks besides coffee and pastries. Great location and atmosphere for a restaurant with big outside patios, but I was expecting a more intimate coffee shop vibe.
Had a cappuccino (good) and a coffee cake (a bit too sweet) during my quick visit, service was friendly and prices are reasonable.

Good coffee and delicious pastries. Nice outdoor area and dog friendly. I go here at least once a week. Cooper always makes new friends so he gives it 5 wags.

Delicious spot to gather and chat with people! Avocado toast was great. Beignets we’re good as well. Nice selection of food and drinks.

Wow, those waffles will knock your socks off! Not kidding, the best we have ever had, they smelled like the waffle cones at the county fair.
Yummy, yummy brioche, bacon, cheese brekkie sando calrissian with a little bacon jam to light up your mouth.
Pair it up with a delicious, expertly hand crafted cocktail and you just started your day right.
The outdoor seating is casual, charming and sunny on their huge front patio dotted with little red umbrellas and whimsical strings of lights. Lots of fun people and dog watching!
The employees are lovely, happy and attentive.
This our new sure thing spot, check it out.

I had much higher hopes for this place based on the other reviews and the great outdoor seating place, but after trying it, I have to give it a solid “Meh -” (that’s a Meh minus) The waffles could have been passable if they weren’t covered in a thick cinnamon sugar coating. The yogurt was soupy and flavor less. I had a side of eggs too that was passable but it’s hard to mess up scrambled eggs. And the coffee was weak and flavorless. I hope they improve as I will try them again just to make sure my first try here wasn’t a fluke.

I felt like a kid in a coffee shop! (4/5 green stars also)
There aren’t many places to get good coffee in Lafayette or Walnut Creek, so the two branches of Coffee Shop are very welcome. This Lafayette branch is very attractive with lots of wood and a great outdoor seating area to take advantage of the almost perennial good weather. There are also lots of umbrellas for shade and a good WiFi signal, so it’s a great spot to do some work outdoors. So far, I’ve tried two pour-overs – a small Stumptown (of course!) for $3.50 (10 oz.) and a large Ethiopian natural from Zolo for $4 (16 oz.). The pricing is a bit strange (60% more coffee for just 50 cents extra) but not that unusual I guess – the beans are only part of the economic equation. I’d never heard of Zolo – they are a small local roaster who apparently can be found at the Danville and San Rafael farmers’ markets. Coffee Shop staff members are friendly, by the way, and happy to help with coffee recommendations. Their music selection was very good. Tried three food items – a grilled cheese ($6.50), a waffle, and their homemade Blueberry pop tart. All three were okay – perhaps it was an off-day because I thought they all could have been really good with just a few tweaks. I’ll be back for the coffee.
I’m also giving Coffee Shop 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons:
• There are 8 or 9 different coffee beans available so you can choose one that suits your ethos. Most of them are third wave roasters that have some kind of direct trade relationship with farmers. For example, Stumptown pays up to four times commodity prices for their green coffee, encourages sustainable farming practices (some of their coffee is organic) and uses compostable packaging.
• I believe that their milk is from Clover, but not organic. Almond milk is also available.
• Eggs are listed as “farm fresh” and also stated to be cage-free and organic.
• A large message over their counter says “serving local, farm-fresh and organic foods served all day.” However, on the menu there’s not a lot of clarity on how much of the food that they serve is organic, other than the juices, (which are listed as 100% organic) and the eggs. As mentioned, the milk is not.
• On the same note, I’d have liked to know if my grilled cheese sandwich was made with organic bread and cheese. There’s no information on sourcing provided on their menu or website.
• Although it doesn’t seem like it (all waste goes into one bin), a server told me that they do compost – I guess they separate their waste after collection.
• To-go containers are simple brown boxes.
• Their lids, straws, and utensils are not compostable.
• They switched to corrugated paper cups that use more material than a regular cup.
• They had run out of large ceramic cups so could only offer a large paper cup or small ceramic cup.
