We stopped here to grab a quick beverage on a cold rainy evening. We ordered the Mayan pour over and a hot chocolate. Both the drinks were really good. The place is really huge. I loved the ambiance. It has a good balance of cozy coffee shop and community feeling. Wonderful view of the waterfront. Easy parking as well. read more

Panama Bay Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vallejo, California

Excellent vibe here. Popular as it is a welcoming location, but also right next to the Vallejo Ferry. Which we take to the SF Giants games. Great view of the waterway, the very line, and just so cute with its large windows and nautical feel. Would be nice to have more seating options and upgraded to new furniture. But not a big issue with current options. Awesome staff that get orders completed quickly and correctly. Parking lot is across the street. read more

It was my first time here and the place was not busy. Only a few patrons sitting in a few tables. Employees were great not very talkative but had a nice smile and very welcoming. Please forgive me but not the iced Chai tea. I purchased it giving it high expectations but it was awful. It had very little taste of Chai and it tasted like a full glass of milk with ice. I was just passing by as I'm not from here. read more

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. read more

Panama Bay Coffee - GROSSSSSS - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vallejo, California

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. read more

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. read more

Panama Bay Coffee - A - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vallejo, California

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. read more

I loved the matcha with cold foam and my breakfast bagels. They were supper quick and nice.

Great drinks and early morning snacks. I love the warm bagels and croissant sandwiches. Hot chocolates are good and there mochas are great.

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. read more

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. read more

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! :) read more

"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. read more

I met some new ladies here twice to chat and make new friends. The shop had a steady flow of customers; they all seemed to be doing takeout. We could sit at a table and I did not feel rushed or busy either time we were here. They have bakery items in addition to coffee I am not a coffee drinker. The first time I had a chai tea latte. It was good. One of the women at the table had a milkshake. I don't care much for ice cream or milkshakes. The longer I sat at the table the more I wanted one. I got up and ordered one. The shake was delicious, it was creamy and tasty. When we decided to meet here again I was happily looking forward to a milkshake. When we for the 2nd time I ordered a medium vanilla shake. I was disappointed; it had pieces of ice in it. It was only average. I will try again. read more

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. read more

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..... read more

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. read more

I haven't found the time to rave about the Florentine Croissant. Absolutely delicious and I get it almost every weekend when it's available. Other items look good too, gluten free options available although very limited. Large selection of coffee, tea, smoothies and other beverages. Service is quick and in my experience staff will let you know if your order time exceeds the time the ferry leaves so you can order something else. You can also buy canned and bottled beverages along with packed coffee. Definitely pricey but more affordable and more selection than you would find on the ferry boat ride. Bathrooms available nearby. read more

Right by the ferry terminal. Had great coffee and baked goods. I loved their ham and cheese croissant. Plenty of seating for small groups of a couple of people: it's right next to the water and visitor center. Lots of homeless around this area. 3 hour parking lot next door. read more

I didn't try the coffee or smoothies, but I had some time to kill before the ferry left so I ducked in here and ordered an egg & cheese on a croissant. The employee who took my order was friendly and got to work on my order. It only took about 5 minutes to receive it (which is great if you're in a hurry), but when I got to the middle it, it was cold. I would've said something, but I didn't have time as they've already begun to board the ferry. I would come back for another try the next time I take the ferry into the city. The employees were friendly and besides the middle, the sandwich was perfectly crisp and had good flavor to it. read more

Decided to grab a quick breakfast before heading to the Giants game and had a nice time waiting inside the cafe. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and a butter croissant; both were delicious! The matcha was the perfect amount of bitterness and sweetness (without syrup) and the croissant was flaky and warm. The cashier was very friendly and nice. The windows let in a lot of sunlight and a nice view of the water. The vibes are perfect on a sunny day. Will look forward to coming back on my next ferry trip! read more

On a trip to Vallejo, ended up doing some work at this cafe since it was along the water front. Which i'm a sucker for because the views help with the creative process. When you park in the parking lot, you'll have to walk along the water front to get to the cafe as it is on the other side. Which lets you appreciate the stroll and fresh air before you're in the cafe surrounded by the aroma of coffee beans Out in the front they also have specials posted on their sign to let you know what's in for the month or season. I had ordered the Iced Banana Bread Latte and I was disappointed to taste no banana bread flavor in it or even a slight banana taste. Besides the fact, the latte was good and I was able to enjoy it. The ambience of the cafe is super chill, I noticed there were a lot of older people either reading, catching up with friends, and or doing work on their laptop (which is what I'm doing right now) Plus the architecture is very nice on the inside with their high ceilings and wooden accents to pieces. read more

Customer service is a critical element to the success of full scale restaurants and of specialty eateries!!! At my local coffee spot, foods and drinks are delicious and reasonably priced! What sets Panama Bay apart from many other similar coffee shops would be the outstanding customer service!!! Of particular note worthiness are the afternoon shift staff members who engage and treat all customers as welcomed guests and family members!!! During the afternoon shifts, the following staff members go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience for all who visit!!! Big shoutout for: Belen, Hannah, Nahomy, and Shannon, in particular!!! Definitely worth a visit any day of the week !!! Jim Madison (pictured above during a recent visit) read more

Ya know, I'm a bit indifferent about this cafe. They always seem so busy, and they're quick with their drinks but there are certain things that affected my experience. For starters, their hours are not up to date. I've been by on days where they say they are open only to realize they're closed. I've also gotten very Luke warm drinks when they were JUST made (when ordering a hot drink). Service is a hit or miss; so much so it makes an impression that is memorable. BUT the drinks and pastries are real good. They're also conveniently located near by and I love being able to support smaller businesses instead of going to Starbucks for example. My go to is their vanilla latte and whatever smoothie I may be craving. Thankful they're near by. read more

This place is in a great location right at the Ferry Building in Vallejo. Whenever I'm traveling into SF via the ferry I usually stop in to pick up a drink or a snack to take along with me.

You can sit inside, outside or take your order with you while standing in line for the ferry. read more

The people that work here are so friendly and welcoming. I've seen this place a million times whenever I'm literally running to the ferry and finally stopped in. The coffee was delicious!

Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

I was super excited to have an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and an iced oat milk peach latte. The latte came out super quick which is normal, so I gave the bagel a few more minutes. 20 minutes go by and still no bagel. A few more people get in and out of line and receive both coffee and food items they purchased. I went up to the counter to ask about my bagel and the girl that helped me forgot about it! So she apologized and I gave her the benefit of the doubt and waited for her to make my bagel. A few moments go by and she informs me that they're completely out of bagels. At this point, I'm pretty disappointed so I ask for a refund. There's someone else at the counter being rung up so we have to wait. The girl presses some buttons on the pos and says, "okay, you're all set. The refund will be back into your account in a couple of days." I tell her that I paid in cash, so she refunded the wrong order. She forgot that she asked my name for the order in the beginning. I remind her that I paid in cash and that I still need a refund for the bagel and cream cheese that I paid for. She finally gave me my refund. This was my first experience with her, but she seemed a little off. Like, she wasn't all there. The cafe wasn't even busy enough for her to have forgotten everything. I don't remember her name, but she was tall and skinny with blonde hair tied up into a ponytail. She seemed really nice, but I wish I would've gotten the same attentiveness that everyone else received. Cafe was very clean since it wasn't busy. read more
