Great coffee shop with local hang out vibes. It smelled so good when I walked in and they have a Dietrich coffee roaster full front and center. Big menu. I grabbed a regular latte, but was suggested to try the biscoff latte on my next trip. Sounds like a great plan to me Parked in the parking garage and walked over. Please come and create your one adventure. read more

Aesthetic, spacious, and cozy café! Stopped by with my uncle while running errands as he recommended this place and usually comes here to get some work done. I loved the abundance of seating and the greenery incorporated throughout the space, which made the cafe feel relaxing. Ordered their matcha latte and unfortunately was not a fan. It tasted more like sweetened milk, with very little of the earthy, slightly bitter flavor that I typically associate with matcha. I was especially looking forward to trying it since several other Yelpers had spoken highly of their matcha drinks, so it was a bit disappointing. I'm not sure if it was the type of matcha used or the ratio, but it may simply come down to personal preference since matcha doesn't seem to be their main specialty. Service was great. The barista was welcoming, friendly, and even took the time to engage in conversation. Overall, my review mainly reflects the quality of the drink I ordered. read more

Was really excited to try this local spot before I start working today. I'm from out of town and because of this I usually plan in advance. I walked over at 7:10 and although the sign does say you were open, nobody was inside of the shop. Unfortunately, I did have to go to Paris baguette instead. read more

Great coffee spot to hang out while waiting for my nanny kid to finish jujitsu, or whenever. I had bookmarked Pacific Bay Coffee as recommended by yelper Harvey K when I moved to WC in 2020. I've had Thai iced tea and taro milk tea, both of which I could taste their respective flavors. Sometimes Thai tea in particular can taste watered down and lack the tea flavor but that's not the case for PBCC's version! The woman at the front (not sure if she's the owner?) is very nice and efficient. She seems to manage multiple orders without too long of a wait. Maybe mornings are busier but I don't think I waited more than 5 mins when I was there ~3:15pm. Prices ~$5-6, which is reasonable. Cash and card accepted. Though I don't live close enough to be a regular, I'd gladly come back if in the area and encourage my WC friends to support this wonderful independently owned coffee shop! read more

This looks like a mess, but it was the most wonderfully weird looking and fresh tasting egg salad sandwich I've ever had. When I opened the croissant to see what was going on inside, I noticed celery pieces which added a crunch and texture you don't usually find in egg salad. The service was quick and friendly. Good location and convenient if you are visiting someone at Kaiser and don't feel like hospital food. read more

Been driving around this pacific bay coffee place and finally we are able to stop by since we are in the area. It's a midsize store big enough for a few tables where you can hangout, do some homework, meet with friends etc. music is just right for you to keep a private conversation. From the selection of coffee beans, to their specialty coffee to their breakfast/lunch menu just amazing and a lot to choose from The pacific bay coffee team are great friendly accommodating and very professional. To walk into this store and find a friendly smile and a welcome is just priceless. We order Vietnamese coffee, "always heard it is very sweet and normally is use regular milk and condense milk" well, I asked if I could make some modifications and they were happy to help me, Vietnamese shots, condense milk and almond milk hot beverage OMG...just a touch of sweetness, dark roast coffee shots in the mix with almond milk just made right!!!. Rose bloom latte, normally the rose syrup tend to be overpowering but this drink was made just right, no sweet no overpowering no after taste and yo still taking the coffee shots. We also order tuna melt but instead of cheese we order with scrabble eggs, I know sound weird but it tastes amazing and we add some pastries to go almond croissant and blueberry muffin Definitely, I am coming back!!! P.S. My stepfather met us at PBC and order the croissant breakfast turkey sandwich and the pistachio latte read more

I got espresso. Tried single origin and their house blend Single Origin (Guatemala): 3.5/5 Bright, citrus-forward, probably orange. Light body, high acidity, no bitterness. Not much crema, but clean and well-executed. Just wanted a little more depth or mouthfeel. House Blend: 3/5 A touch bitter for my taste. Slight fruitiness--maybe plum--and dark chocolate notes underneath. Crema was nice, aroma was promising, but the bitterness held it back slightly. Note: I don't usually mention service, but they deserve a nod. I came in near closing, and they were thoughtful about pacing the shots and made no fuss about dine-in. Appreciated. read more

Pacific Bay Coffee Co - Where the magic happens. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've been coming to Pacific Bay Coffee Co. for quite some time now, and it never disappoints. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the smell of freshly roasted coffee and a warm, relaxed atmosphere that instantly makes you want to stay awhile. The coffee is consistently excellent--rich, smooth, and clearly crafted by people who truly care about what they're doing. Whether I order an espresso, cappuccino, or latte, it's always perfectly balanced and made with attention to detail. You can really taste the quality of the beans, and the drinks are never rushed or sloppy. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the people. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. They remember regulars, take the time to answer questions, and always make you feel comfortable--whether you're grabbing a quick cup to go or settling in for a longer visit. Pacific Bay feels like a true neighborhood coffee spot: calm, inviting, and authentic. It's a great place to meet a friend, get some work done, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a great cup of coffee.

I really enjoyed this place. The simple decor with the string lights along the windows. There is plenty of seating, it's pretty quiet. There is one bathroom and the key was on the doorknob, parking lot is small tho! The staff was really nice and went out of their way to serve. The drinks were delicious, I got a hot chai and my partner ordered a cinnamon maple latte :) Definitely a great spot to meet and catch up with a friend read more

I got a vietnamese coffee from here and they literally filled it up halfway. Like they couldn't even fill the rest with milk or anything. It's like getting food at a restaurant and they only give you half a plate of food. My friend and I were so shocked we just started laughing. But it's not even funny. They literally couldn't even fill it up all the way. EDIT: I did not finish the coffee. I actually took 1 sip from it and threw it away outside of the restaurant because not only was it less than half full, it tasted bad. Response to P.S.: You can ask your own employee how much she filled my cup! It was served to me like that - there is no motive for me to lie. Accusing an unsatisfied customer who received a half-filled drink isn't very good service at all! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and as a business, you have to be open to criticism. If you really think this review is fake and outrageously unfair, you can take it up with Yelp, like I recommended in our private messages. read more

I hadn't been to Pacific Bay for a while. Really nice place and the staff ( perhaps owner) was delightful. Very friendly... even to my dog who had a fresh bowl of water and a turkey snack.

The last three times I've been here I tell myself I won't be back. The first time I ordered matcha it tasted like milk. This time I ordered cold brew with vanilla sweet cream. I was given cold brew with vanilla syrup. When I informed the woman she added milk and called it cream. I don't think the staff are familiar with how to make coffee. I originally asked about the summer matcha and asked if it was good and she rudely responded what do u mean is it good? Of course it is. So then I changed my question and said is it popular? She said of course it is all the other coffee shops have it and we are the last ones to carry it. It wasn't until she messed up my ordered her tone changed and she tried to ask my questions to be personable. I gave this place many chances. I won't be back. Michael- she did not make sweet cream she added vanilla syrup to the cold brew. When I told her I asked for sweet cream she took out a bottle of milk and added it to the cold brew. You clearly have issues and are unable to take accountability for a staff member who needs more training best of luck to your shop surviving with your pathetic attitude. Clearly you are mad at life. read more

Hands down the best coffee in Walnut Creek and Lafayette area I have found! Nice friendly staff and quiet hangout.

I have always loved visiting your coffee shop. Even though the interior design has changed and there's a new owner, the taste of the coffee remains the same.

Came in around 9 and they were only serving drip coffee at the moment( no food available when I was there). This family-run cafe seems to be frequently visited by locals. Their medium roast drip coffee was delicious with a balanced profile of acidity and flavor. It went well with the donuts I got . Though it tasted slightly acidic once it turned cold, the consistency of the beans performed very well throughout. Highly recommend this cafe to everyone and I will def come back for their other coffee offerings ! read more

Incredible coffee. Long overdue update on the review. The espresso is some of the best I've ever had.

Always a pleasure to do business here. Barista was so pleasant, good start to my day.

Since this place changed ownership the coffee just has not been the same. Usually the drinks I receive are barely warm or scalding hot. The coffee also doesn't taste as smooth as it did prior to the ownership change. The customer service is great here, the drinks however are nothing special. read more
