Tarocco

Tarocco has a delicious selection of very tasty dishes.The space is nice, but, as someone who follows ATDs (Aerosol Transmitted Diseases), like covid, and wants to avoid them, I am VERY grateful for the outside tables and large open windows.Again, the food selection is always wonderful.Be back soon.

Delicious lunch in a sunny space. I guess there are more options if you get here earlier but I still had a hard time deciding!

Fabulous! What a delightful surprise! Would definitely go back!The ambience is amazing.

Beautiful, sun-drenched cafe/restaurant offering high quality espresso, brewed tea, and plant-based Barcelona-inspired/Mediterranean-inspired foods. Airy, spacious interior:So pretty. Lots of windows and seating. Good coffee + sunlight + a book or a good conversation = unmatched. Lots of plants to add that "nature-y" feel. I also love the little touches of decor -- tastefully placed books, couches, pillows, etc.Espresso:Good coffee but a little pricey :( I think I paid like $7-8 for an oat milk latte. My latte was smooth and I have no complaints re: taste, but I wish they offered larger drink volume options. I think I was also a little disappointed I had to pay extra for plant-based milk, considering their menu seems to focus on healthy/light eating.Tea:Didn't get a chance to try their tea but they offer loose-leaf tea in a kettle that you can sit down with.Plant-based Barcelona/Mediterranean-inspired foods:They do a-la-carte so you pay for how many sides/dishes you want. For example, 2 sides is $X while 3 sides is $Y + $Z for your choice of protein. They do offer animal proteins (e.g. eggs, chicken, salmon) but you'll predominantly find plant-based dishes here. Lots of salads, grains, root vegetables, and leafy greens. Since I was only there for coffee, I didn't have a chance to try their food but I'll def be back for it. I saw tons of people coming in and dining for lunch.Staff were super friendly. Tarocco def stands out more as a restaurant than a cafe. I liked my latte but would come here more for the atmosphere and food than for the coffee.

Great food, great space. Nice to see the food before you order. Really health and delicious.

Incredibly disappointing. Their hours are extremely limited, only 11 AM to 2 PM, but they stop making fresh dishes of food around 1pm. This is a major problem because it means your SOL if you can't get there when they open. Their business model is as follows: they lay out five or six plates of food on the counter, and you put together a salad by selecting which plates you'd like to choose from. Your lunch isn't made fresh-to-order in the kitchen, but rather prepared in the morning and then left on the counter for customers to select. When we arrived around 1:15 PM, all of the plates were empty except for two: one plate of soggy, warm lettuce, and another plate with a few rubbery eggs. Ick. I would pay to NOT eat that for lunch. When I asked if they had any food left, any salads or items I could order, they said no. A business model like this only works if you serve your customers good food :(

Delicious fresh food and an excellent experience. Love coming here when I can--seems like an especially great place for people who work nearby. I came around noon on a Friday and it was bustling! Parking was pretty easy, there's a lot of parking nearby but usually full on the weekdays. Counter service is quick and very friendly. Great spot for a casual lunch with really exceptional and high quality eats.

5 stars for the beautiful light filled spot. Definitely go here for coffee or wine with a friend. Every table can be filled, and you can still have a comfortable, unhurried conversation.The food used to be a good draw. It is a little pricey but tasty with good quality ingredients. Options are mainly vegetarian, mostly gluten free and plenty of vegan options. On the most recent visit, the food selection had changed. Now everything has been sitting out, room temperature, under seasoned, including rice that seemed a little crunchy in addition to not being warm. It feels more like a deli or cafeteria style, but with small portions and no sneeze guard. I was still hungry when I got home. I am giving this a 4 because it is a lovely place with potentially good food. I hope that it will return to the previous menu format.

This place is so good and fresh! Some of the best lunch vibes to be found in the East Bay. Grab a coffee and a seat in a gorgeously designed space, draped in natural light. You will leave here feeling fantastic, no matter what you order.

We recently rented Tarocco for our baby shower and it was perfect. The owner, Sequoia, is thoughtful, energetic, and eager to make sure your event goes well. She helped us design a menu that worked around specific food accommodations, her communication was clear and timely -- really everything you could ask for from a host. After the event we received many comments about how great the food was and how well suited the space was for our group of ~50. Would highly recommend Tarocco to anyone considering hosting an event there.
