Greasy spoon. Bad food, depressing interior. Poor menu choice not well executed. Expensive with un explained service fees on the receipt. Find someplace else. Awful.

Bistro 2121 is a fantastic spot I recently discovered, and it has quickly become a favorite. Here's why:Their falafel pita wrap is simply amazing. The falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside. It's a must-try.I also tried their breakfast burrito, which was hearty and full of flavor - an ideal way to start the day.One thing that sets Bistro 2121 apart is the ample seating available, both indoors and outdoors. It's a great place for a meal with friends or for getting some work done while enjoying delicious food.The location is incredibly convenient for those working nearby, making it an easy and satisfying lunchtime option.In summary, Bistro 2121 offers a diverse menu of delicious options and provides a pleasant dining experience. With ample seating, a convenient location, and tasty food, it's well worth a visit. I'm giving it a solid 4 stars out of 5.

These people are crooks! They sometimes charge $3 extra for no reason (“open food” charge). Bistro 2121 has also charged me for fries on a few occasions, even though they are free with a grilled cheese order (which is why I started ordering on Grubhub). Unfortunately, they have a history of canceling Grubhub orders. Their system that accepts Grubhub orders has been “broken” for months, and today they *forced* me to cancel my Grubhub order. They are unprofessional; sometimes menu items are unavailable because “it’s Friday”. And one time they messed up my customized order. Steer clear!

Pastrami sandwich on a roll is my go to. Quick and easy. Organization of the location is a little confusing. Massive salad bar is closed to due to pandemic. A little bit expensive, but until the Walnut Creek Transit Village opens up, they are the only convenient lunch place. When the village opens with restaurants, my guess is this place may feel some competition. Seating area outside is very nice. Tables spaced apart with umbrellas for the sun.

Had a bad experience a while back with some spoiled salsa in my breakfast burrito... so it's been a year since eating here... I've walked 5 miles this morning and didn't want to walk far so I decided to go back and get some lunch .. figured a French dip sounded good and not sure how u mess that up... well they did.... maybe 2 slices of the driest beef jerky looking meat on a dry bun that fell apart... nasty sandwich ... bland plain a** beef broth for a dip...'I asked for blue cheese for dressing on my salad also.... it looked like a slimy container of c****** so nasty.... and to top it off the Pepsi which i thought would be the best part of my meal was flat so I looked At the expectation date and it's dec 2019 with black mold dots on it ... u fuckers... never again...

I've been visiting this onsite cafe since I started working in the building 3.5 years ago and have seen it greatly improve with better choices and awesome staff. The prices can be quite steep but it is convenient, especially when you're short on time. The lovely Cambodian lady makes the best lattes and is such a ray of sunshine to start my day with.

I visit this deli 2-3 times a month for the salad bar. I've never ordered anything else. The cafe has a lot of variety as far as drinks and snacks. They have hot food available. The service is always good. I would love more variety at the salad bar as far as vegetables. Most of the salad items are very basic. I really do like having this deli close to my office.

Great selection and friendly people. They no longer get my order wrong :) Best deli in the vicinity.
I have never seen such a s*@# show. I don't even leave reviews, but this definitely deserves one Guys. What the actual F@#$. So people are not coming to your bistro because your food is trash. I just walked in and purchased a side of fries. NOT ONLY DID THE PRICE GO UP A DOLLAR you give me less than the usual amount? I will never come back here. This place is going down hill so fast. The only reason you're still in business is because you're convenient and not a far walk. Getting new cooks every few months because the previous one was terrible. Stop raising your prices on your crap food. Enjoy the loss of business

Ive had great experiences here as I work in the area.....not sure why the poor reviews... Yes the snacks can be a bit steep and line can be confusing if you are new to this place but cmon give it a chance fellow yelpers! Super friendly staff, always greeting me with a smile. Look out for the daily specials. They have options from the grill, sandwiches, a full salad bar, Mexican, Middle eastern, the list goes on. I love the Italian BLT- thick fresh focaccia bread loaded with bacon, fresh avocado and a pesto spread. They have an extensive menu and if you still do not find what you are looking for, you can customize what you're craving, which is always appreciated. They have every snack and beverage you could ever possibly want so that is a huge plus as well. You have to try their daily baked cookies esp. the dark chocolate espresso cookie.

Skip the burger. Skip the over priced snacks. Skip this place. If you forgot you're lunch maybe simply stick to the salad bar. It's mostly fresh. This place has a huge selection however none of it is any good. It doesn't need to be good, it's like Disneyland. They have a captive audience so don't need to try. I'll try never to come back.

Waited for 20 minutes, and apparently they forgot to prepare my order. Ordered fries on the side and they forgot too, took them almost half an hour to cook the fries. Really bad experience

Good lunch spot if you need a quick meal or a non-fancy lunch. Food is fresh. Service is fine. A bit confusing layout. All in all, I'd be back. It's for the local office "I need to eat a quick lunch" crowd. No complaints.
