The worst white chocolate mocha Ive ever had. No flavor. No sugar in the whipped cream. Hotter than hell. Berry cake was frozen and not sure when it was made.

The iced lattes here are really gross and have a watered down flavor.I asked the guy working the counter if he could remake my iced latte because it seemed off, and he did so I have to give credit to them for that. That was very hospitable.Im sure their other drinks are good, but I wouldnt recommend the iced lattes.

Such a great staple to Lafayette! About 11 coffee shops now in Lafayette, but I love Papillons tea selection! Had a blood orange green tea today and always happy when I walk out trying a new flavor/kind. Decent seating to have a meeting or get some work done and conveniently located right downtown.

This is my new favorite coffeeshop during Covid times! They have pleasant, socially distanced outdoor seating that is always available in my experience, even when all of the nearby restaurants are completely packed. Delicious scones too!

Papillon is consistently high quality in its service and drinks. I feel particularly happy to know theyre open daily during the shelter in phase in our community. Thank you to this wonderful local business!

Great larger tables to work in groups or share with others if youre solo. Staff is nice and easy to park, but pay for parking. Large variety of teas and great standard coffee situation.

Make the trip many days from Moraga to this coffee/tea oasis in Lafayette’s La Fiesta Square. The rewards are worth the trip: great coffees/tea selection & pastries; warm environment; & welcoming savvy family who earn customer loyalty every visit.

Friendly service with delicious coffee. Outside seating is my preference. The weather is usually good hear all year round and there are plenty of friendly dogs passing by on their way to and from the neighboring pet shop. Free wifi. Interior gets a but stuffy on warm days, so be sure to order an iced drink if you will be working inside.

Placed in the bustling Fiesta Square in downtown Lafayette, Papillon is a small, rustic place that offers coffee and continental breakfast. Even though the friendly stuff rushes to fill your orders, expect some time in a line at the counter. I enjoyed a cup of Jasmine tea and a brownie. You might order bagels and oatmeal. A cool drink in summer is a good choice as the place can get hot. Admire the art by local talent always on display. Holding a conversation is challenging though due to poor acoustics.

Local coffee shop dead center in Lafayette. The tables are spread out so its not ideal for huge groups but the serve better scones and muffins than Starbucks. The coffee is okay. It can be busy on weekends especially with bikes and walking groups. Sometimes theres a line which takes forever when theres only 4 people in front of you just ordering coffee.Parking is NOT free but if you get there and leave by 10am, you wont have to pay. Otherwise, you get the privilege of paying. I dont put that on the business though. It appears to be a private lot and all surrounding businesses are affected. That being said, youll always be able to park and its not super expensive to do so.Its a local favorite and a good place to meet.

This is a really great mom and pop coffee shop in Lafayette. Their espresso drinks are flavorful without being too sweet. The pastires are pretty good too. The staff is very friendly and is patient when you have young kids who cant decide what they want.

This is a great family-owned local cafe on La Fiesta Square, only a few yards from that other Lafayette staple, Chow. They have an outstanding selection of teas (black, green, herbal, decaffeinated) -- including teas most people have never heard of (e.g., Keemun tea), excellent espresso drinks, pastries, bagels, etc. What makes it special (besides the tea/espresso/etc.) is the family who run the place, the rotating art exhibits, and the local feel. Papillon attracts people of all ages from young mothers with babies to retirees (and everyone in between). Some people come to work on their laptops but a surprising number are there to hang out with their friends and actually talk. There are a few tables outside. Free wifi. My only complaint is that they arent open late, but I suppose they deserve to have a life outside of work. Wonderful place. I wish we had more like this.
