Crema's Take
“Lake Anza Beach Club is a wonderfully unexpected gem tucked into the East Bay hills—a sheltered freshwater beach with shallow, clean water that feels like a secret local escape rather than a typical coffee stop. The real magic here is the unhurried vibe: you'll settle into a camp chair with your coffee, feet in the sand and eyes on the water, while families and dogs mill about in a genuinely relaxed, car-free atmosphere that encourages lingering conversations and daydreaming. It's the kind of place where a traditional coffee becomes part of a larger experience of discovering something you somehow missed in your own backyard.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.
