    The gluten-free muffins and donuts are so delicious at Third Culture. I really enjoy all the variety and the new creations they come up with almost weekly. The staff is so accommodating and friendly. They really go out of their way to help in any way they can. It’s a special treat when the owners are there because they’re super friendly too. This is a wonderful business that I highly recommend

    OMG you HAVE to try their GF waffles! They come out with a new one all the time and I can’t wait for the next! Crunchy, chewy, soft, crispy.. all at the same time. Third Culture has truly perfected the art of gluten-free baking and needs to give lessons to everyone else who tries. I also know the owners are community-minded and generous people who treat their employees like family.

    Lovely staff, service, and food every time I visit. The muffins are delicious both hot and cold, and there are always plenty of great donut flavors (my favorite is the limited edition salted egg yolk).

    DO NOT believe the 30% tip reviews on here or on Yelp. This place has some amazing staff, and service. Their mochi donuts and muffins are to die for! Such a wide variety of flavors and options to pick from. For beverages, any flavor of the roasted matcha latte is a must try. Third Culture, we are so happy you set up a shop in Walnut Creek. We’ll be visiting frequently.

    First time at this little unique tea/mochi spot. I tried the Carmel Pumpkin iced latte and the ube donut, they were both delicious. Next time I'm going to order something a little less sweet to drink, but I'm super excited to try all of the mochi donut flavors. Their waffles looked good as well. They have matcha, oolong and other teas on the shelves to buy. The vibe of this place was like nothing I've ever seen before the colors were vibrant, the inside lighting was brilliant and the color scheme was on point. Walking in I automatically felt like a million bucks! The person working the front was knowledgeable about all of the products and answered my questions about the different matcha teas they had.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Walnut Creek location of Third Culture Bakery, and it did not disappoint! As a long-time fan and customer of the awesome Berkeley location, I was excited to see how this new spot would measure up, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I approached the bakery, the cool window signage caught my eye. The colorful and inviting holographic design is a warm welcome that perfectly encapsulates the bakery's commitment to aesthetics and attention to detail. It totally sets the tone for the delightful experience that awaits inside. Once inside, I was thrilled to find all the classic treats that I’ve come to love over the years. The mochi muffins, a variety of flavors of mochi donuts, and even mochi waffles were all available, and made it really hard to choose what to get. And of course everything is gluten free! I couldn’t resist indulging in a refreshing matcha sparkler, which was the perfect complement to my sweet treats. I loved exploring the adorable merchandise on display, which adds a fun touch to the overall experience. After picking out my goodies, I settled into their outdoor seating and relaxed under the sun. Third Culture Bakery's Walnut Creek location is absolutely delightful. The combination of yummy gluten free treats, thoughtful design, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone in the area. I can’t wait to return and indulge in more of their amazing offerings! Highly recommend!

    What a paradise for gluten-free enthusiasts! Third Culture Bakery offers a delicious array of sweet treats in moderation, all completely gluten-free. Their fresh, gooey mochi muffins, doughnuts, and waffles are simply irresistible. My all-time favorite is the original mochi muffin and passion fruit mango doughnut—an absolute must-try! They also serve great hot and cold matcha beverages that complement the pastries beautifully. The staff is always friendly, and there's plenty of free parking and a seating area, making it a comfortable spot to relax. The only thing missing is a restroom, but overall, Third Culture Bakery is a gem for anyone looking for tasty, gluten-free options in Walnut Creek.

    My fav!!!!! I love the Asian twist on these “doughnuts”! Everything’s so good! The original is my go-to...but sometimes I feel adventurous and would pick a crazy flavor. A little sad I have yet to try the spicy one...always sold out when I visited
