    TL;DR: Horrible customer service. Horrible drinks. Sticky tables. Dead flies. Slow service. Expect zero personality from staff. While you arrive and verbally say hi to the staff and they're putting a sticker on the cup while you're at the front of the line, expect no response while he slowly places the sticker on the cup for 20 seconds and finally, after 20 seconds, says "HiWhatCanIGetForYou?" When they make your drink way too hot and you ask for a remake, don't expect a "Sorry!" Or any acknowledgement of the error... after you receive the fixed drink, and you say "Thank you!" DO NOT - I repeat, DO NOT expect a "you're welcome" or an "Enjoy!" After you sit down and see the sticky, dirty tables, expect to need to wipe the crumbs off with a napkin. After you sit at your recently-wiped-table, expect to examine the dead flies and spilled coffee in the windowsill. Expect the service to be the same as how the ferry parking building smelled: like piss.

    Iced Matcha Latte

    Great spot next to the Ferry terminal. I like grabbing a cup of coffee or a Iced Matcha before I take the ferry to San Francisco. I ordered the Iced Matach Latte with oak milk. The latte had the right amount of sweetness, earthiness, and slight bitterness. Service was pleasant and quick, just in time as the ferry arrived! The vibes are chill and quiet to work on your laptop. Overall great coffee shop.

    We definitely needed a coffee before heading to the ferry, and this place was perfect. The drinks were amazing, and the staff was impeccable--knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend stopping here before catching the ferry. We ordered warm drinks, and I especially loved the dirty chai. I can't wait to come back and try the other chai options they offer. It's a great spot for family and friends to grab a quick bite and a delicious drink before the ferry ride.

    If you're looking for a cute pretty in pink cafe to take selfies THIS IS NOT IT! This cafe is a day to day neighborhood vibe and I LOVE IT. This cafe is pretty lit and live on a Saturdays and more chill during the week. It's a good place to get some work done, read, maybe a first date aka meet & greet or just people watch while having something to eat. It's is a traffic flow area of people coming in and out as well as walking by. I love the customer service at Panama Bay. The customer service is always great. The staff here greets you and gives you suggestions on what to order. The food and smoothies are good. I order the same thing for the most part (smoothie & croissant sandwich) & it's always a hit My classmate ordered a white coffee & turkey bacon melt. She said it was really good. I recommend you try this cafe if you're looking for a down to earth spot to chillax at.

    While waiting for the ferry, kick back in comfort in this coffee shop. Everyone is helpful serving coffee and foods. The house coffee was tasty and hot. There are a lot of seats and tables but many get claimed as we wait for the ferry. The area inside the shop is clean.

    Bathrooms were pretty disgusting today no soap urine all over the floor. I think it's a common bathroom with the building. Pretty empty around 2 PM. Staff was friendly. I asked if the coffee was hot or fresh. They said yes, pretty stale bitter and then Ended up giving me a sour stomach. I got the vibe like no one really cares about how this place is run.

    Panama Bay Coffee has been on my bucket list for awhile. I was passing through on the way back to Vallejo, and made the stop for a late lunch. I really was craving a chai tea latte! I was greeted by a pleasant woman at the counter (I didn't have a wait at all) and orders a turkey, egg, cheese, sammie + small (12 oz) chai latte latte, to go. My drink was ready right away and my Sammie not too much long after that. Chai tea latte (hot; substitute w/ oat milk)- delicious!!!!!! I love the chai flavor, it was strong...which I absolutely love. It was hot for quite a bit of time. Creamy. I should have ordered a larger size! Turkey, egg, cheese sammie (on a croissant, pepperjack cheese)- I ordered my sandwich bread to be a croissant (other choices were bagel or English muffin). The croissant and entire sandwich was perfectly warm! No partof my sandwich was cold.the croissant tasted like it had butter, and it was so flaky!!!! I was happy with my sandwich overall. It did not lack on taste at all! Yummy!!!! I definitely will return to Panama Bay Coffee!! Till next time! :)

    Iced latte
    Azalia R.

    I looove this place. I've only had their iced lattes but it's a good coffee. I tried their chocolate chip cookie which is gluten free and it was bomb! I am going to keep going back and I want to try the espresso chip cookie and try other coffees :)

    "Waterfront cafe with pastries and 90s vibe near the blue-roofed ferry building." Perfect place alone, with someone or a group. Indoor and outdoor seating available. They have variety of drinks not just coffee but also tea, hot cocoa, shakes, smoothies, energy drinks. Sandwiches and bagels also available. On a very cold Sunday afternoon we missed the ferry and had to wait here and enjoyed the Featured coffee for only $3.35.

    ICED Specialty Latte (Snickerdoodle)

    A little upset, I must admit. The coffee I ordered was an ICED Specialty Latte. ICED. The nice young lady who took my order even asked me in the beginning by, hot or iced. When my order was ready, she handed it to me, hot. I'm not that type of person to make a big deal about whether it's hot or cold but I will say this is the second time this has happened. Please take the time to read what you put in the system before making the coffee. Customer service is EXCELLENT, just take it easy.

    Bacon Turkey Melt. Didn't even toast the bread. Where is the MEAT???!!! Don't do it people
    Tannika B.

    I ordered a bacon turkey melt, which turned out to be two VERY thin sliced pieces of turkey, cheese lettuce, and warm tomato.....$11.00 Sis!!! Still hungry AF. One and DONE for me. Nice to meet you

    Hmmm... Egg nog latte anyone?
    Lauren S.

    Attentive friendly service, variety of bakery / pasty items. Not a big gluten free or Vegan eatery, but in jam can satisfy basic needs. Smoothies are a good blend of sweet and sour, with fruits and veggies. Cafe surrounded by the Vallejo Marina, so you can go walking, catch the ferry to San Francisco, or just sit and people watch. Ciao for now.....

    12 oz Strawberry banana smoothie
    Joseph M.

    Was in town to visit some family and also go for a walk at the marina and this cafe was literally right next to the ferry, so I thought why not give it a try. I ordered a 12 oz strawberry banana fruit smoothie. The drink was ok just a bit overpriced. The drink was $6.25 for their smallest size. The service was decent. The location of the cafe is in a perfect spot for those wanting a refreshing drink after a run/walk at the ferry or for those waiting to take the ferry to the city.

There is a dedicated parking lot, tight but can hold a decent amount of cars. There is street parking as well, not metered - that is where I parked. The hostess was extremely friendly and attentive, checking in on us several times after ordering to notify of the food's ETA as well as refilling drinks and seeing if we needed anything. The dining area has approximately ten booths in total and became quite crowded around 12:30p. Our meals arrived at different times, items to eat meal arrived sparsely as well. We ordered around 11:30a, there were two other parties present. We were able to order based on our dietary needs/wants as the menu offered quite a diverse array. The crab omelette (known as The California Omelette on the menu) is 1/4 lb of fresh crab served either hot or cold enclosed in three eggs along with avocado and Monterey Jack cheese. For $26.35 the omelette left much to be desired, especially in flavor and seasoning. Nothing complimented or even enhanced the presence of the crab in any way. The remaining party at the table said they enjoy their meal - including a blueberry waffle, toast and eggs with bacon and a double cheeseburger with fries. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to gather, this cafe is certainly an option to consider. It was easy to speak and hear each other with ample privacy and not a lot of traffic - if any.
