Papillon is a cozy, mom-and-pop cafe that shares its store space with Uji Time. They offer decent coffee and friendly service. Their menu features a variety of teas, lattes, mochas, matcha, chai, Italian sodas, protein smoothies, regular smoothies, and even lemonade - something for everyone and every mood and every occasion :) Came here for the first time to catch up with a friend and Papillon was the perfect backdrop. They have plenty of seating indoors and out. We personally didn't take advantage of the outdoor seating since it was raining but other customers with dogs did and stayed dry under the awning. I got a cold brew and my friend got a mocha with some sort of cinnamon cake. The cold brew itself was just okay but what really stood out to me was the service! It seems like they don't have customers serve themselves cream and sugar... I wish they had some cream or half-half or sugar/splenda packets, etc. on the side for customers, but I didn't see any. Regardless, they were gracious enough to give me a little side cup of cream so problem solved anyways. Not sure if it was the time of day we went, but there were unfortunately very limited pastry options. I would have loved to see more cakes, muffins, brownies, and the like but I can only assume they sold out by the time we came. Bathroom was clean. Tables were a little dirty. Would have wished a staff member went around to clean tables more frequently but honestly no biggie. Would definitely stop by if I'm in the area again! If you're looking for a small-business, non-chain cafe, this is the place in Lafayette!!

It's a cute coffee cafe that also serves Boba Teas and and even Ube ice cream. They feature local authors and lots of sitting area inside and out. Both gentlemen who made our drinks and served our snacks were polite and friendly. Excellent service all around. If you're ever in the area, stop by for a quick cup of Joe or enjoy a refreshing boba tea. You won't be disappointed. Let me know what you think.

We love our family-owned neighborhood coffee shop! The coffees and boba teas are delicious, and the baked goods are yummy as well. We are always greeted with a smile-- I've been coming here weekly for a few years and service is always top notch. Try the Taro Milk Tea!

Was in neighborhood and yelp'd for coffee shop and this little local gem showed up. Friendly customer service with a smile is always a plus. Find most businesses don't bother to serve with a smile anymore which is a shame considering prices have gone up and people can be more discerning where they choose to spend their money. We ordered - 1. Breakfast bagel with egg, cheese, sausage, tomato was quite good. Would definitely have this again and reasonably priced at $6.50. 2. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin - not too sweet so perfect for us $3.95 3. Pumpkin Spice Latte $6.75 4. Mexican Mocha $6.95 Good amount of seating indoors and some patio tables outside. Tables and single bathroom were clean. If I am in the area again, would stop in again.

Great coffee spot in Lafayette! Came here with one of my new Yelp friends as that's her favorite spot. Although today was my first time having coffee at Papillon, I realized that I had been to this location a few years ago when Uji Time first started selling soft serve there. I had a soy sugar free vanilla latte, which was just as tasty as I expected. Service was friendly and fast. There were plenty of tables available and it wasn't super crowded. Only downside was that the screens on some of the meters aren't visible. Not Papillon's fault but it just took a little more time to park than I would have liked. I noticed they sell boba so maybe I'll try that next time. Whether it's boba, coffee, or soft serve, we will be back!

Latte frost. Add whipped cream. You're welcome. Papillon has some of my fave things- coffee and ice cream. I haven't tried their ice cream or taiyaki desserts yet since I've just been here in the mornings, but they look great. I've just tried a variety of their coffee drinks and enjoyed them all. Downside is the priciness of plant based milks, but that's a standard at most places nowadays... end price is still compatible to other coffee places. I started by getting their cappuccinos and lattes, and they can even put some cocoa powder on top of the latte. Somehow this added something amazing to it, and I was hooked. The hot months came about, and I started ordering their ice blended drinks. The husband enjoys their Mexican mochas and mint chocolate frappes. I'm mostly simple when it comes to coffee and I love their regular latte frost, which is a blended coffee that isn't way too sweet. Whipped cream doesn't come with by default, so I request that since I'm a whipped cream addict. The owners here are really nice too. Always had pleasant interactions here. The storefront itself- somehow both dark and bright on the inside, plenty of seating across and seats on the outside as well. They also have pastries and other food items. They also have boba drinks too, which my kids have tried. They liked them, but weren't too fond of the toppings. They haven't asked to return here for boba unfortunately, but that's ok (for my wallet). Great variety of stuff here, but I keep coming back for their coffee.

After seeing a post about a new treat in Lafayette, we made our way for a sweet mid afternoon treat today. Hubby got a medium mocha as he says it's always good here. It didn't disappoint. I went for the taiyaki with the matcha vanilla swirl and red bean filling. It's a fun presentation with the ice cream filling the mouth of the fish. The taiyaki is a bit crispy on the outside with some chewiness inside. Mine had a crack so some leakage while eating but I survived! What I don't like is you have to eat it pretty quickly because it's soft serve. Real world problems, LOL! It's not cheap okay. $7 and .50 for the red bean filling. Would I go out of my way, no. If someone said, let's go get one, sure. I'm happy to see more Asian snacks in this town. There is also boba at Lilliqoi on Mt Diablo Blvd. All the town needs now is ramen or dumplings. Always support the local business people. If you haven't tried it, do it! This is my motto, You have to try it at least once.

Ordered the taro milk tea and the tomato spinach quiche. The Taro milk tea was okay. I think most people come in for the coffee and ice cream in the waffle. They sell coffee beans here and you can request for it grounded. The smell of waffle was alluring. I came here to work as my typical coffee spot was packed and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of seats there are with outlets.
