We stopped in to this coffee shop on a warm day. They had a variety of drinks and shakes and even energy drink options! I got the half tea half lemonade drink and it was very refreshing and perfectly sweet and what I expected it to be. My boyfriend got the coffee cake latte with oatmilk which had good flavor and was not overly sweet! read more

Great place to work and grab a little treat!! I ordered an iced green tea with lavender + the spinach and cheese croissant - so good. Ashlyn was extremely helpful with ordering and provided recommendations and alternatives. read more

Needed a caffeine boost otw to the Livermore outlets. This isolated in the middle to downtown so parking could've a bit tricky. Banana bread latte (4/5): This tasted like a normal coffee but with a hint of banana bread. I would really love it if it had more banana bread flavor. Overall I enjoyed my drink. read more

Livermore is so blessed with the amount of great coffee places. I finally went to this one after so many trips to Story Coffee. I really like this cafe. It has a lot of sitting areas to just relax and drink a nice cup of coffee. Very cozy. I like that they have little seasonal drinks other than their normal menu. It was nice to hold the warm coffee while I walked outside in the cold. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. read more

Love the vibes of this place. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. Got the matcha latte and a blueberry scone. It was all delicious and the scone was fresh out of the oven which was an amazing plus. The area it is in is also really cute / nice with lots of little shops and feels very safe with lots of parking. read more

We tried the iced carmelita and the latte. They have a nice variety of drinks on the menu, and the service was fast. The coffee was a little bitter for my taste, since I prefer sweeter drinks, but the rest of my family really enjoyed theirs. The interior is nice with cute decor, and there's plenty of seating both inside and outside. read more

The vibes here are always super lovely. There's plenty of seating for folks who want to get work done and the employees are all exceptionally sweet and accommodating. They have more experimental / novelty drinks which can be hit or miss but they're really fun to try. They used to have this mango chai flavor I was obsessed with but they ended up swapping it out which was a bummer. read more

A place w real people and the BEST coffee ever! The people are friendly and they REMEMBER you. I am always impressed by their roast. Yum! Also the food is delightful. The croissants are delicious. If you're looking for a sandwich and some great coffee with the best atmosphere, you want Panama Bay! And make sure you ask for Mia or Sam! These two are simply fantastic! read more

Panama Bay Coffee - Mia is the BEST!! Sam was hiding....;-) - Cafes Near Me - Livermore, California

Probably closer to 3.5 stars. This is (almost) a good place to get some work done! They have outlets and a decent amount of seating. The only con is that the music is too loud. One time it was so loud a stranger next to me actually went up to ask the employee to lower the music and everyone thanked him. I don't recommend if you have to take any calls or meetings. The bathroom code changes every week so you'll need to ask the employees for the code when you come in. Drinks are okay - not my favorite but I still come back because it's the best place I've found to do work so far. It comes out to $6.85 for an iced oat milk latte with a flavored syrup. I recommend downloading the app to gain points and rewards! It's a cute cafe to stop by for a drink or sit outside. read more

Such a cute coffee spot! Had to give this cafe a try for their innovative speciality lattes and was not disappointed. I tried their banana bread latte and I don't like sweet coffee an asked the barista to make it less sweet and and she did an amazing job making it less sweet but not lose flavor! I'm not a fan of hazelnut, which the og recipe calls for, so the barista subbed it for toffee for me and it was fire. My mom got their Mumbai masala chai which was also super yum and had a good taste of spices. We also got their spinach and cheese pastry which was fresh and also super yum. Def recommend trying this spot!! read more

Stop by to get another coffee on the way. Nice decoration with some of Halloween theme. It is nice coffee shop. I like the wall where you can write message on the cup holder and stick it to the wall. The cold brew and the oat raisin cookies are good. Worker is very friendly. read more

Yup, if I'm drinking coffee, I want this one!!! I stumbled on the iced vanilla latte and it's one of the richest, most flavorful lattes I've had in so long where I can enjoy the coffee aroma and flavor without it being bitter and having a weird aftertaste. *Drink of choice: iced sugar free vanilla latte with oat milk - largest size they have!! Gotta stop by and have it anytime of day!! Sad they're not open late night to have it more read more

It was my first time at Panama Bay this afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a small iced decaf americano with oat milk and sugar free hazelnut syrup. It was perfect! I'd order that same thing again when I come back! We also shared a Reese's peanut butter cookie. We asked for it warmed up and it was gooey and delish!!! Will definitely be back! read more

I tried Panama Bay today and it was honestly pretty disappointing. I ordered one of their specialty lattes, the Almond Joy, which is supposed to be a mix of mocha and coconut. But when I received my drink, it didn't taste like coconut or mocha at all, it just tasted like an average coffee. There was no hint of either flavor, which was a letdown, especially since the employee mentioned it was really good. read more

Panama Bay Coffee: A Cozy Downtown Gem! A repeat favorite! I love the rustic vibe of this charming cafe. Always a pleasure to grab my go-to Caramelita Latte, served extra hot, paired with their scrumptious gluten-free Banana Blueberry Muffin (warmed to perfection!).

I was in the area for meetings and wanted to stop somewhere I can work on my laptop and get a little pick me up. Glad I stumbled upon this spot! It was super chill inside. The line was super quick, and while there were people seated all around, the noise level was pretty low. The decor is cute and loved the vibe. The barista I ordered with was sweet! I didn't really know what to get, so I opted for an iced Carmel latte w oat milk. She was like "wait, have you had the Carmelita. It's like a vanilla/carmel latte." I was sold and when I told her I want it with oat milk she said that's the absolute best combo. I also got a croissant. The Carmelita was really good! I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but it was perfect. Not too sweet and gave me the pick me up I needed. I would definitely come back here when in the area. It was a great space to snag a table and get some work done, while also getting a really good iced coffee! read more

Cute coffee shop in downtown Livermore- came here while waiting for a table for brunch. Got some croissants- ham and cheese and chocolate and a coffee for my boyfriend. Everything was good. The croissants were tasty and fluffy which was delicious. The baristas were really friendly and fast with service. We got our snacks and drink pretty fast and sat outside while we waited for our turn at the other restaurant for brunch. Definitely plan to come back here for snacks when I'm ever in the area read more

Visiting Livermore was great. Luv the downtown vibe. Panama Bay Coffee fit our needs for a late afternoon snack to hold us over until we traveled back home for dinner. It was casual, had outdoor seating, great lattes, pumpkin treats, and the English muffin-egg-turkey-cheese sandwich was Super fresh - (not pulled out of a frig and microwaved!) We'll be back on our next visit to Livermore or where ever there is another Panama Bay. read more

I have been visiting Panama Coffee at least once a week for the past few months. The atmosphere is clearly coffee shop with busy employees, tables both inside and outside. It's normally busy around 9:30-10:00 when so get there but we normally find one table open. Large menu of drinks both hot & cold. Fresh baked goods and a couple of hot items but coffee is their focus. I have tried numerous coffee drinks and non disappoint. Employees are super friendly. I recommend you try it for sure. read more

The service was INCREDIBLY slow and inefficient. The coffee was marginal and overpriced. My companion said it's always like this. I have little interest in returning. read more

The Carmelita!! It's my fave!!! Service ambiance and selection are all fantastic!! Recommend!!

I was surprised to find out that I haven't given a review to this place yet. This is my favorite coffee shop in Livermore - it feels so warm and cozy, the staff are friendly, the drinks are unique, and there is wi-fi and a bathroom ! I got to visit again a little before the holidays and it was the perfect escape from the cold outside. It was so nicely decorated and the barista that served me was very friendly. I ordered their coffee cake latte and their pumpkin chai muffin that was gluten free (but pleasantly did not taste as dry as other gluten-free things! also - their pastries are made in-house !). I appreciate the unique products and nice vibes - so 5 stars ! read more

Such a great coffee shop in the heart of downtown Livermore! First of all, the interior is super cute - cozy with a hint of an island breeze. It's an inviting spot to spend a few hours working or catching up with a friend. Secondly, their coffee is solid. I enjoyed their drip medium roast. I appreciated that it was served piping hot (just how I like it!). Finally, the service is great. The baristas and friendly and helpful. :) read more

I am never impressed by chai lattes anywhere, but PBC has an amazing Mumbai Chai. They put a hint of mango in there which I have never had in chai before. The pour overs are complex and delicious. You can really taste each of the spice notes they add to the brew. Love it, will be back over and over again read more

I love panama bay But having to wait 30 min for 2 cups of coffee. 1 person walk out and canceled his order I wanted some food also but decided not to because it was only 2 people working and didn't want to wait.. it's not the 1st time this happens. read more

I've always had great experiences here at Panama Bay. My daughter loves their cookies and I love their coffee. They have a nice relaxed atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Their location is incredible (on the corner of 1st and South K) and nothing beats sitting on the patio with a hot cup of coffee watching the folks walk by. The staff is friendly and prompt and they have their headshots all posted on the wall in a way that promotes familiarity. Great local place. read more

Pretty good coffee place. Loved the little things about it. It's right in downtown Livermore, so parking is a little difficult. It's close to where they hold their Sunday Farmers Market. They have an area where you can watch them make the drip coffee. They support local students. They had coffee mug sleeves where you can design it. There's a bookshelf in the back that holds games for those that want to hang out. The wall of pics of their staff was a cute touch. If you say you're eating it there, they'll give your drinks in mugs. Food was great, coffee was good. Overall, I'll be back. read more

My family has been visiting Panama for over a decade and has had memorable experiences here throughout the years. The service has always been fantastic, but I feel like the coffee is increasingly becoming a hit-or-miss. My favorite drink, the Java Chip Breeze, no longer tastes the same and there's hardly any Java chips. It's also been pretty watered down lately. I've ordered a cono pour over in the past and really liked it. The most recent time we ordered one, the shop was so busy that they forgot about it after they poured the water over, so it just sat there until it was nearly cold. My husband used to really like the white chocolate mocha, but lately there's no mocha flavor and only tastes like sugar. Once in a while I like to treat myself to a chocolate chip cookie, but the past two times the cookies have been burnt. Generally Panama is a solid coffee shop, but I think the staff needs to slow down to give each order the adequate time it needs. It already takes a bit for the drinks to come out, so waiting an extra few minutes doesn't hurt if the coffee will come out fantastic. read more

I needed to find a local spot to grab breakfast and take a couple of calls. I've been to other coffee shops in the area, but I wanted to try a new place. I found Panama Bay Coffee from a Google search and realized that I've passed by this place many times. What a cute spot! Loved the Latin beach vibes and appreciated the ample cozy seating. I was able to find a corner spot with an electricity outlet and took my meetings with their free and fast wifi. I ordered a egg and pepper jack cheese croissant and a hot rooibos tea. The egg and cheese croissant just hit right. I think they make the croissants in-house. They weren't big and flaky like I'd expect from a French croissant, but the choux was definitely crispy and buttery. I'd certainly come back again to try their other savory items and specialty lattes. read more

Decided to visit Panama Bay Coffee for the first time! I went on an afternoon and there were some people. There was no wait to order. I forgot the name of my drink, but it was something along the lines of an iced mocha! The staff were helpful and I appreciated their friendliness. Clean tables with outlets available across the cafe. There were also small activities for kids. Bathroom is clean. Parking outside may be competitive, but street parking is available. I will come again! read more

Cool cosy cafe! They have a large menu with lots to offer. I like their java breeze, it's nicely rich in coffee and the ice is blended well (very smooth to drink). The flavor is not too sweet and very creamy. It's a delicious icy treat! Their brewed coffee is also good! It's made as a pour over. There's a "secret" menu of flavors they can add into your drink located by the registers if you like (in general). They also make milkshakes! Food-wise, the everything bagel was a little disappointing, pretty small and dry. Kinda too salty for me and a bit too untoasted as well. Perhaps their other pastries are good! The scone looked mighty nice, which I may grab next time. read more
