Panama Bay Coffee — Restaurant in Vallejo

I love this place. I've been coming here for years, so they know my drink when I walk in. The prices are a little high, but the staff are kind and friendly, and they've dealt with an ongoing homeless issue, so they've brought back some comfy chairs after years. It can get extremely busy when ferry patrons come in, but otherwise always seats available. A quality local establishment.

Update July 2017: in a continued effort to manage the local homeless issue, the management has blocked/turned off all access to power outlets, meaning you can't charge cell phones or computers here. It's still a good place to work for a while as it still has free Wi-Fi, just make sure all your gear is fully charged before you come.

Update November 2017: They've repainted the place in bright white and blue, and it looks great! Nice and airy and open, and it feels like it blends into the water now. I can't wait to see it when the renovation...

We decided to try Panama Bay Coffee while waiting for the ferry. The woman who took our order treated me with the warm professionalism that I expected. She was NOT the cold, rude, uncaring person that other reviewers have commented about. The food was good and at the proper temperature. Yes, it took a few minutes but we could watch it being prepared from our table. My ham and cheese panini was delicious with warm ham and tasty cheese. My wife’s breakfast burrito was almost too hot to eat at first. She enjoyed it. I might order one next time I ride the ferry. My only negative was that my panini was not cooked evenly. The bottom side was perfect but the top side needed a little more attention. I think that Panama Bay Coffee will become our breakfast stop before...

My friend and I have been patronizing your coffee shop for 8 years, 2-3 times a week. We also have told many people about your coffee shop. There have been a few changes, but nothing to keep us from having a nice relaxing time....until yesterday. One of the ladies that was working told me that I use too much half & half and that I would have to be charged for it. I was stunned!!!! I have never heard anything that idiotic...and to treat a faithful customer that way wasn't what I call good business. So, everyone....beware that you don't use too much half & half or you will get charged for it!!!!!! My friend and I are considering patronizing another coffee shop due to this...
