This place has the best breakfast and pastries! The Israeli breakfast and the breakfast sandwich is amazing. The chai and lattes are wonderful and the baked goodies are so delicious! I can't forget the bread is the best.  I can't say anything bad at all and the food is also good if you get delivery.  The service is kind and timely and the venue is attractive.  Thank you for the wonderful food and service!

On the recommendation of a friend we asked Tal to cater our father's Celebration of Life service.  It was an emotional event and she compassionately helped guide us thru appropriate menu options.  The food was delivered on time, the presentation was lovely, the items were delicious, and the pricing was reasonable.  The salads were fresh, the chocolate-hazelnut babka was absolutely divine!!  So much so, that people stood in line to take leftovers home with them.While we were planning our event, we grabbed a quick lunch at Tal's and both had the Greek salad and a creme brûlée flavored French macaroon...omg...  we cant wait to go back for more.To the person that complained that items are usually gone by the afternoon...  that's probably true, and actually a great sign that things are fresh and highly desired.  Get there earlier... you'll be glad you did.

I've had this place mentally bookmarked for at least two year, but I finally tried this place today. The owner is incredibly sweet, personable, and helpful to new customers. She does a great job of explaining each menu item and answering any questions regarding dietary concerns such as nut allergies. The food is decently priced yet it tasted so gourmet. There is a wide array of food from French to American to Jewish cuisine. The coffee tasted fresh and strong; I couldn't believe that is was $2.50. The food was also presented so beautifully. The Israeli breakfast had so many delicious components and they came in their own serving dish like a tea cup for the salad.  My table also ordered the scrambled egg breakfast in which the eggs were perfectly fluffy, and the challah that came with it tasted like it was homemade with love. Since this is a bakery, we had to choose a dessert. So we went with the bread pudding that had all of the right textures. The amazing food and service are compelling reasons to eat here again sometime soon. More...

Nice food, atmosphere and very nice service. Quiche is awesome, I'm not French but I'm just back from Paris and it seems pretty original to me. Baguette used for the sandwiches is fresh, soft and moist inside and crunchy outside and the cheese was awesome. The only downside for me was the ham, thick cut and just out from fridge so a bit too cold. Really nice discovery in the area.  We will definitely come back and recommend it to friends! More...

My 5-star rating is specifically for the honey cake that we've been enjoying all week! It's delicious, and best warmed in the oven before indulging. I love bakeries and baked goods, and so was very excited when Tal opened her patisserie a few years ago in The Livery. Not only do I love having this unique local bakery nearby with all made fresh on site, but I love the proximity to home of a bakery that offers braided and holiday challahs, honey cake, and additional holiday treats which other bakeries in this part of the East Bay do not offer. (When Tal's first opened, I ordered a sandwich and was "underwhelmed". And, last week when I ordered  a boreka for takeout, I needed to ask for it to be warmed; and when I ate it a minute later, found it not warmed all the way through. Disappointing. However, I see on Yelp! that others enjoy a broader selection of her items beyond what attracts me to her bakery.) Go to Tal's for what you like best, and let's help keep Tal's here! More...

Tal did our mini desserts and cake for our wedding. Everything was delicious and looked beautiful. Our cake colors were matched to our shirts & bow ties and the chocolate mousse underneath was amazing. Our guests loved all the treats but devoured the macarons; I'm glad I ordered extra otherwise we wouldn't have gotten any. Tal was easy to work with and was great about making suggestions that would fit our budget. We are looking forward to visiting the store again soon for breakfast and more sweet treats. More...

I had read about Tal's in some local publications and was curious to test out some of their traditional "Israeli" baked goods. I was pleasantly surprised to meet to owner when I walked in on a random day just before Purim (a very female centric Jewish holiday) and ordered some hamentashen cookies to go. Hamentashen are a shortbread type cookie (lighter) shaped in a triangle an typically filled with apricot, cherry, raspberry, prune or poppyseed filling (though now you can find other fillings that have become "trendy" elsewhere-think Nutella, etc. ). They also use Mr. Espresso for the espresso drinks and of course, I ordered what I can tell you was a perfect latte to go (one size only). Hands down, these cookies were the best store/bakery bought hamentashen I have ever had. Perfect cookie to filling ratio and the right size unlike the gargantuan ones I have seen at what I consider the "fake" bagel stores in the area. I only bought 4 and I ate 2 and saved 2 for my husband who claimed he had never tried one before (he might be right on this but don't tell him!). He has been talking about these cookies for the last 2 months and states they are his favorite cookie now and though I have been back again, they are not "in season" but I am sure if I wanted I could place a special order with the lovely owner, Tal. This small cafe' is very sweet and they do offer baking classes for kids (possibly adults), afternoon tea and a few other special events. This place is a true gem in the Livery-and I need to frequent it more often. More...

We were buying our wedding rings at Dioro's in Lafayette when we decided afterwards to walk the entire plaza.  Since we were a little thirsty, we decide we needed a little coffee.  We saw Tal's and decided that this was the place to go.I would think that most of the wimmin' folk here would call this place "cute".  The place had a nice Parisian kinda feel (naturally given the name) and the owner is a really sweet lady.  So after spying the desserts while waiting in line, we decided on getting two Americano's and a backlava and cupcake for the little lady.  I must say that the Americano's were better than Starbucks for sure.  A compliment to the espresso and someone knows what they're doing.  While the baklava was a little flat and not lightly crisp and lacking that nice honey taste/texture, it was still good.  Not the best, but good enough for me that day.  My fiance thoguht her cupcake was really good and commented that it was moist on the inside.  I would recommend this place if you need a very small, cozy place to have a quiet conversation.  Maybe good for a date.

Part of me doesn't want to write about Tal's, out of fear it will become as crowded as Danville Sideboard. This is an amazing little bakery and gourmet sandwicherie at The Livery. The coffee, baked goods and lunch salads and sandwiches are outstanding and it is rarely crowded. The service is excellent and friendly. This is now my go-to place for casual, delicious weekend breakfast or lunch. I especially recommend the curry chicken sandwich on homemade baguette, and the cucumber and tomato salad. All of the desserts are phenomenal. Like everything at The Livery, Tal's has a relaxed somewhere-in-the-redwoods feel and is close to 680. More...

Cute little homey place in the heart of the Livery. I had a moms' group play date scheduled here during the week and it was perfect. There's a corner of the place where our kids played with toddler toys (colors, books, mini kitchen, etc.) while the moms chatted over tea and breakfast.My girls had the French ham and Swiss cheese crepes and I did the blintzes with peppermint tea. The crepes are two to a plate and were a bit on the small side for $8+, but we're so tasty that I had to order them another plate because they inhaled the first in 5 minutes. The blintzes were good too. Both crepe shells were made fresh to order. Service was nice and helpful. The store manager was at the counter and served food, while the owner was in the back preparing the F&B.This is great for a few friends with a few kids, but would probably be too small for a bigger group. Their pastries look yum and I hear they do a nice high-tea as well. I'll be back to try those for sure! More...

This is a cute little place that has been around for a few years.  We were there on a Saturday for late breakfast.  The breakfast croissant sandwich was very tasty. I give the team credit for producing a good product in such a small space.  They have 5 tables for two and one table for six.  Tal's serves high tea but the overall atmosphere is only partially conducive to high tea.  The public area has several nice chandeliers that unfortunately have 6000K LED bulbs. I suggested they gradually replace these with attractive 2500K-2700K LEDs and the staff told me they ordered them online and were a bit surprised at the color.  Oops.  The kitchen is so small that storage overflows into the public space.  We saw a staff person packaging up a large birthday cake for delivery.  It looks like they do a good job making special custom cakes.The staff is friendly and accommodating.

I finally got to try out this cute patisserie this morning.  My girlfriends just finished a nice hike behind the Livery and wanted to grab a quick bite before picking up the kids. I ordered their breakfast sandwich made with their freshly baked challah bread.  Oh my....that bread was GOOOOD.  They used a fromage which was perfect.  The drip was nice and bold.  Their cream was chilled.  To me, it's the little things that make a huge difference.  Everyone else ordered pastries which just made my mouth water.  They pulled out this chocolate and nutella bread or puns cake.  I'm was drooling. ..Can't wait to come back to try something else.
