Lovely lady took my order. Excellent service. Patty melt was cooked perfectly. Coffee fresh. Fresh salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Excellent food.

What a wonderful gem in Lafayette! The owners are hospitable and kind. The food was high-quality and delicious, especially the freshly-made bread. It’s not “fancy” but supporting this climate conscious, small-owned business is worthwhile.

Someone’s the best place around. Such delicious food every time

I had the sausage crepe with a hot latte and it was all so excellent. The food is flavorful, locally sourced, and organic. I had the pleasure to meet Maria who told me her upbringing in the Andes mountains influenced the sustainable practices they use to minimize their environmental impact. They don't even use plastic trash bags! Eat here for reasonably priced food that is delicious, good for you, and good for the environment

Mom pop type restaurant. All ingredients are freshly made. The owners are very sweet and take the time to make sure everyone is satisfied

Had a delicious Grilled Chicken Garden Salad lunch today at The Rising Loafer. Ate outdoors on the patio. I appreciated the many available menu selections and for returning another time the breakfast menu looks very appealing. The couple that run this restaurant are very friendly, helpful, and prompt and it was a delight to talk with them a little and hear about the organic food they serve, their story, and their community involvement. This is definitely a place I'd like to return to many times. I dislike going to restaurants in Walnut Creek anymore (too much of a hassle, too much commotion), I find this place to be relaxing and pleasing along with a full menu, relaxed atmosphere, organic items, and more affordable pricing, so I'd rather come here. They deserve a top rating.

Kind of easy to just breeze by and miss it but it's worth a stop. Had a delicious lunch, tuna sandwich, avocado sandwich and a shroom burger. The burger was juicy and tasty, avocado looked good and my kid ate up the tuna. The bread is very good. Nice mom and pop shop, very friendly. Just like the terminator.... I'll be back.
