We sat in the back and it was really cozy. There were upholstered chairs around small tables, more like a club than a coffee shop; I loved it! The front area is brighter and sleeker than the back; more like what I'm used to in a coffee shop. The pastries in the display case looked wonderful, but since we were going to lunch, none of us ordered anything other than coffee. I had a small cappuchino and I think others got cappuchinos as well, another small and two mediums. The small was $5 and the mediums were $6. The baristas were friendly and welcoming and made a great cappuchino. Highly recommend!

First time, staff was friendly and my cappuccino was good. Not great, but good. The Place was crowded, but not terrible. However, most people were on their laptops "working". Second time, place is packed and almost everyone is on their laptop "working". Feels like a wework cafe. Staff? Seemingly bored and not thrilled about my order. I asked for an espresso with a significant amount of steamed milk and foam. What I got? A dribble barley filling the bottom of the cup (which was to go, and I ordered to stay). Finally, they don't take cash. Cash is king. Would I go back? Nope. I don't know Walnut Creek very well but assuredly, there's other places that are more suitable for me.

The coffee is not being pulled correctly and the flavors are not give the proper attention for a $9+ latte. The pastries were okay. Nothing mind blown. Nothing to come back for. The service was brutal. The girl at the front doesn't greet anyone. Doesn't care to elaborate on what anything is. Not friendly at all. We will not be back. We were influenced to come try it because of certain posts. However, maybe if they dropped Zolo coffee I'd consider ever visiting again. But it was a disappointing waste of time and money.

They have a patio area that is nice for sipping coffee, meeting with friends, working, or studying. I'm surprised some people have negative reviews.

Comfortable atmosphere and chill vibe... it always seems to have a dozen or more people enjoying conversation or working on their laptop inside, and several more enjoying the small porch outside. (Dogs are welcome on the porch.) They always have a welcoming and friendly staff and provide quick service. They have a large selection of teas and coffee for retail as well. This is definitely worth a side trip to enjoy a hand-crafted beverage, a small bite and to relax for a bit. It's a perfect option versus sitting in the service waiting room if you're getting service at many of the shops within a couple of blocks.

This was probably one of the most modern and chic coffee shops I've ever been to -- and I can't…read morebelieve I slept on it until now! It's amazing how this place has grown, and I'm glad to see what they've done over the years. Their roastery is based in Oakland, but they have started to branch out to Contra Costa and other areas of Alameda County, which I have found quite surprising. I decided that trying their newest store out in Walnut Creek would do it justice -- and indeed, it tastes just like the one I tried in Oakland -- vibes, coffee drink, and pastry, everything with it's local taste. I got an easy vanilla latte -- and a butter croissant. Both tasted just as yummy as they say in other foodies' reviews. The only downside is the guest patio next to their stop -- I wasn't even sure if I was even allowed to sit there. I wish they could have made it clearer for other patrons so that they wouldn't get confused like I did.

Prologue Coffee & Tea is a small café operating inside the Walnut Creek Library in downtown (Walnut…read moreCreek has two libraries). Although the location is not prominent, pictures of their beautifully crafted drinks and delicious bánh mì sandwiches have been spreading across different social media platforms. So much so that they have been featured in reporting by several local media outlets. Out of curiosity, I decided to check this spot out with my brother and a couple friends on 08/29/2025. It wasn't busy when we walked in at around noon. A quick glance revealed a space that's tiny but well organized. We were greeted by Thuy, the friendly proprietor of the establishment. Since this was our first visit, it took us a while to figure out what we wanted. In the end, we each got a bánh mì sandwich and a beverage. Pricing was reasonable IMHO (see menu pic). I had the cold cut bánh mì and an iced coffee. I gave half of my sandwich to my brother, and he gave me half of his grilled chicken bánh mì in return. Both sandwiches were delicious! The baguette was excellent. It was crispy on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside. Thuy told me later on that she gets them from Duc Huong Sandwiches, a famed Vietnamese sandwich chain in San Jose. The homemade pâté, cold cuts, and grilled chicken were all delicious, and the produce was very fresh. The iced coffee was very good as well. We chatted with Thuy extensively before and after our meal. She told us she was a banker prior to opening this café. From our conversation, I could tell she takes pride in her work. We were all very impressed by her demeanor and business acumen. Should you find yourself in downtown Walnut Creek, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - You can either park at the library lot, Civic Park, or the Broadway city garage a block away. - Contactless payment. - They have limited indoor and outdoor seating.

The flavor here tasted somewhat artificial, and I wasn't able to enjoy it as much as I had hoped. The bigger issue was the wait.

I completely understand that these things happen, but it would have been nice if the staff had let us know right away instead of us having to ask. We ended up waiting until more ice was brought in, which made the experience longer than expected.

I highly recommend trying the blueberry scone this way; it was such a unique and delightful experience. If you're visiting downtown Walnut Creek, this place is definitely worth a stop.

Before we got deep into our drive, we wanted to stop for some coffee, and this spot happened to be open and on our way. We're not super familiar with coffee in the Bay Area, and for most of our trip we hadn't chosen great shops to visit. Panama Bay, however, really surprised us. A lot about this spot felt unassuming to us. It's a small cottage on the corner that stands out from the taller, more modern apartment buildings around it. There's not much space indoors. All of their seating is outdoors, located next to their outdoor pickup window. It's a little more offbeat than your average coffee spot, but it's really charming. The great service was one of the first things I noticed. Our two baristas were very friendly, chatting with us about our trip, and giving menu recommendations. All of this was greatly appreciated, especially since their menu has many options. They had an extensive list of syrup flavors, lattes, pour over coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. I grabbed a banana latte, and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was flavorful, and the sandwich has the best chipotle mayo. My partner tried the Mayan pour over, and he really loved his drink. Everything that we ordered was fantastic, and the friendly baristas really made our visit. This was easily the best coffee spot we visited during our trip I definitely recommend dropping by this spot if you're nearby, and I'll definitely be back in the future if I'm ever back up north.
