What truly sets Chit Chat Cafe apart is its impressive variety of menu highlights. If you’re drawn to sweets, the bakery display is a feast for the eyes and senses alike—with standout creations like the cinnamon rolls, generously swirled in luscious cream cheese icing and the unique seasonal twist of cinnamon rolls with pumpkin spice frosting. The Strawberry Shortcake Scone and the delicate, fruity macarons (think pistachio and strawberry flavors) offer a refined sweetness that pairs beautifully with a steaming cup of chai or a Cherry Mocha Latte, both frequently praised by regulars.

My mom and I came to Chit Chat for a coffee and were not disappointed. We both had the cinnamon dolce latte and loved it. Great flavor and not too sweet! My mom also got a bear paw pastry which was very yummy. To top it off, the staff was friendly and fast, and the cafe itself was clean and cozy. Highly recommend you check it out!
I've been here a few times and each time the drinks are great. I tend to order chai drinks or teas and enjoy them. On rare occasions, it can be loud mid-day but it's still a nice space to be in with plenty of seating.
On Monday, October 27, 2025, as we walked inside, we were greeted with a smile and I believe the owner, Rebekah was who took our order, brought out the high chair after asking if they had high chairs, and was super thoughtful to bring out our drinks since she saw I had my hands full with my baby boy. The interior is very spacious and a perfect spot to grab food, a drink, study, work, and all of the above. The Cafe is currently decorated in a Harry Potter theme which I love. It was busy, people were picking up orders. Rebekah was taking orders and making the coffee drinks. She is amazing at it by the way. I give her mad props for being calm and so friendly all while doing it all. She also ensured to let her customers know that she'd be right with them. There was a man who I saw making the food so thankfully she wasn't alone. He was also the one who gave me two containers to go and he was very helpful and nice. My MIL had their white chocolate mocha extra hot. She said it was perfect.5/5 My MIL also had The Bold One bagel and she said she liked it. 5/5 I ordered one of their seasonal drinks which was the Pumpkin Patch Latte 10/5 I loved it I was able to taste the ingredients mentioned in the menu. Definitely better than Starbucks' so-called pumpkin drinks that don't even taste as such. I also had their Turkey Pesto sandwich and it was pretty good and flavorful. All the flavors went well. 5/5 My baby had the Egg Bowl 5/5 This is a great bowl for vegetarians and they also have other options. If you dine in, please make sure you take your plates, cups, and utensils to the bins located next to the entrance door on the left side or right side if you're facing the entrance door from inside. If you have yet to stop by, I highly highly recommend you do. They have superb customer service and delicious coffee drinks and food.
GREAT cafe with amazing drinks, pastries, and hospitality! Great if you need to work, read, relax, or chat with a loved one! I always stop by the place to work on my way to Yosemite and it never disappoints. WiFi is also stellar!
Lovely medium sized shop with an open floor plan and quiet environment. Perfect for a 2 person to 4 person group to chat over sweet pastries and coffee. Didn't try the food dishes but I assume they're just as good! Cozy vibes :3
Enjoyed coming to this coffee shop. Great place to sit and do studying time. Feels welcoming and the matcha i can’t describe how well it tasted. This matcha is very well whisked and topped it off with vanilla cold foam. Wouldn’t upset you definitely coming again to try their breakfast menu!
The drinks were delicious! Had a mother & daughter brunch ordered a hazelnut late & Manteca fog paired woth avocado toast & breakfast hash. The Manteca fog was delicious, but was a bit disheartened that I didn't get the foam art with my cup like my mother did with hers. It was semi-self service, the drinks and dining you'd being the drink and put plates away but the food was brought out to you. Overall great atmosphere, my mother had a great time being her first brunch-niche place. I am looking forward to the crepes and desserts next time!
