I wanted to check out some local business and came here on a Saturday morning to study. I was able to easily find a table w an outlet and ordered a hot latte which was standard. Unfortunately there was a wifi limit of 2 hours and I wasn't able to get back on, so I left :( Parking: free shared lot out front. Given the standard coffee, limiting wifi, I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Lovely place and lovely people Def coming back Roast their own coffee and make their smoothies very well! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! I have to say I was skeptical based on the reviews, but given the new ownership and more positive reviews lately, decided to finally give it a chance. You really can't judge a book by its cover. The inside is really cute and cozy. Not too many people when I went since it was a Monday around 10am. Just ordered an apple chausson (spelling? it's basically a French apple turnover) and a latte with an extra shot. I was still hesitant at the point of ordering because the guy behind the counter seemed a bit flustered making a couple drinks and it took almost 10 minutes to get mine. But, I am patient for good coffee, and it was great! I also recognize that this is a small business, not a Starbucks, so things operate differently. Had to check myself a little, lol. The coffee was actually so good that I didn't even need to put sugar in it and I normally always do. I am a true coffee lover and the flavor of this coffee was bold, smooth, just the right hit of acidity...not bitter at all. You can tell the beans are quality and roasted/ground fresh. The beans are clearly respected. Gotta give five stars just based on that. Staff are reserved but very pleasant. Also, the pastry was amazing flavor-wise but I think they warmed it up in the microwave as it was heated within 20 seconds and I heard the whirring/beeping of what sounded like a microwave, though she heated it in the back so I couldn't see. Unfortunately this makes a delicate pastry become soggy and the filling gets scalding hot. It would be nice if the shop could invest in a proper toaster oven similar to other cafes in order to heat pastries in a more appetizing way. Just a suggestion, but not a huge deal. I'll still come back and support this business! Thank you! read more

That egg salad croissant was BOMB. It had no business being that delicious. Very simple, not overwhelming but it had cucumbers, onions and possibly some horseradish or other spice adding a tiny kick. I was looking for a refreshing drink on a hot day and I opted for their Botanicl Energy drinks. I got the "Drift" which is cucumber lemon flavored with the guru energy drink base (100mg caffeine). It was ALSO delicious. A sweet treat but not to sweet. It also didn't have an artificial sweetener aftertaste either. I'm very happy with my visit :) Bathrooms, parking, temperature controlled, natural lighting. Not to mention I didn't even get to try the diedrich coffee as I'm not a huge coffee person. The workers were sweet and attentive. They also bring your drink to your table when then can. There are also a ton of books for both kids and adults :) read more

Aesthetic, spacious, and cozy café! Stopped by with my uncle while running errands as he recommended this place and usually comes here to get some work done. I loved the abundance of seating and the greenery incorporated throughout the space, which made the cafe feel relaxing. Ordered their matcha latte and unfortunately was not a fan. It tasted more like sweetened milk, with very little of the earthy, slightly bitter flavor that I typically associate with matcha. I was especially looking forward to trying it since several other Yelpers had spoken highly of their matcha drinks, so it was a bit disappointing. I'm not sure if it was the type of matcha used or the ratio, but it may simply come down to personal preference since matcha doesn't seem to be their main specialty. Service was great. The barista was welcoming, friendly, and even took the time to engage in conversation. Overall, my review mainly reflects the quality of the drink I ordered. read more

Such a cozy coffee shop! The decor and space itself is really welcoming, and there's quite a bit of room to sit and hangout. The staff were super friendly. I tried an iced vanilla latte, which was pretty good -- could've maybe used a little more of the flavor. You definitely can taste the quality of the beans, which it seems like they roast in house. read more

Right across from Kaiser hospital. Great little spot, not fussy, chill vibes, friendly service. I popped over one day to get a bite while I was waiting for someone who was at the medical clinic. Got a protein smoothie for my mom. Avacado, peanut butter, banana, chia, really tasty! I intended to just grab something to go but, I knew her appointment was going to take a while. I ordered my fave bagel sandwich, smoked salmon, cucumber, tomato, cream cheese, red onion. The bagel was lightly toasted just the way I prefer (not too crunchy). Took it with and iced tea, sat at a table outside. Watch the people and the ridiculously wild drivers go by! Be careful in that crosswalk! It was nice just to sit and relax before I headed back with the smoothie. read more

Great coffee shop with local hang out vibes. It smelled so good when I walked in and they have a Dietrich coffee roaster full front and center. Big menu. I grabbed a regular latte, but was suggested to try the biscoff latte on my next trip. Sounds like a great plan to me Parked in the parking garage and walked over. Please come and create your one adventure. read more

Great coffee spot to hang out while waiting for my nanny kid to finish jujitsu, or whenever. I had bookmarked Pacific Bay Coffee as recommended by yelper Harvey K when I moved to WC in 2020. I've had Thai iced tea and taro milk tea, both of which I could taste their respective flavors. Sometimes Thai tea in particular can taste watered down and lack the tea flavor but that's not the case for PBCC's version! The woman at the front (not sure if she's the owner?) is very nice and efficient. She seems to manage multiple orders without too long of a wait. Maybe mornings are busier but I don't think I waited more than 5 mins when I was there ~3:15pm. Prices ~$5-6, which is reasonable. Cash and card accepted. Though I don't live close enough to be a regular, I'd gladly come back if in the area and encourage my WC friends to support this wonderful independently owned coffee shop! read more

Gave it a try based on TT videos. Save yourself some money and skip this one. We ordered a few drinks recommended on social media. Banana bread latte was on their seasonal menu. It was not it. I ordered it iced. It's Torani syrup, not the real thing. The barista had to read the menu board to figure out what was in the drink. It was watery and such a huge disappointment. Then at check out I was overcharged. Didn't go back in to say anything. I knew I wasn't ever going back so took it as part of the loss of money and a drink. Second drink was a London Fog latte. This is my go to drink. Order it everywhere I can. This I think was a poorly steeped tea bag, I don't actually know. It was so weak and I think he just poured in some milk. Not at all a latte. I didn't take pics of any of the drinks unfortunately. Third drink was matcha. Laughable. Save your money. Maybe this is the place to go if you just want a plain ol cup of coffee. Save your money. $25 ish for 3 drinks and not a single one hit. TT had it wrong with this one. Maybe the guy behind the drinks that morning just didn't know the menu or the execution of them but it was a huge bummer. Hi Mikhail, Thank you for your response. Please do not confuse me with the experience your barista had with another customer. I would never insult anyone or demean any employee of any establishment. I didn't mention a name in this review except for that he was male. I didn't even look at his badge. So this comment in your response to me "Finally, we need to mention something that is absent from your review. During the interaction, someone called our barista an "idiot" to his face" is IRRESPONSIBLE. That is a bold accusation and assumption that we are the same individual based solely on we didn't enjoy our drinks. This is a DISGUSTING and IRRESPONSIBLE response from a business owner. The gentleman behind the order was not familiar with the drink and its ingredients. The back of the coffee bar is well stocked with Torani syrup. We did in fact watch him pour from the bottle into the bottom of my to go cup. If you say that's not the case, that is fine. As you may have not been there that day, while he was making my drink, I can confirm it was not a homemade banana syrup and it was Torani syrup. If you generally make it with a homemade syrup then perhaps this morning it was made incorrectly which explains his need to look at your drink menu for the ingredients. It's fine. It was my experience that day and it's ok. As for the matcha, I'm glad you use ceremonial matcha. As you should. Again, perhaps the barista's matcha ratio to milk was not made to your shops standards. It was very light green so it was very milk forward. It's ok. I ordered it, didn't like it. It's fine. i paid, took a sip, didn't like it and left. I didn't ask for the drinks to be re-made, there's no point. You had a couple customers in line. No need for our reorder to hold them up or cause any delay. 3 out of 3 drinks ordered were not our favorite. It's how you prepare your drinks. They weren't for us. We walked out and agreed they were not worth the $. You'll get great reviews and some reviews you won't like. It's all a part of being a business owner. I gave it a try after watching a TT so social media is great for free advertising. I thank you again for your response. read more

This looks like a mess, but it was the most wonderfully weird looking and fresh tasting egg salad sandwich I've ever had. When I opened the croissant to see what was going on inside, I noticed celery pieces which added a crunch and texture you don't usually find in egg salad. The service was quick and friendly. Good location and convenient if you are visiting someone at Kaiser and don't feel like hospital food. read more

Been driving around this pacific bay coffee place and finally we are able to stop by since we are in the area. It's a midsize store big enough for a few tables where you can hangout, do some homework, meet with friends etc. music is just right for you to keep a private conversation. From the selection of coffee beans, to their specialty coffee to their breakfast/lunch menu just amazing and a lot to choose from The pacific bay coffee team are great friendly accommodating and very professional. To walk into this store and find a friendly smile and a welcome is just priceless. We order Vietnamese coffee, "always heard it is very sweet and normally is use regular milk and condense milk" well, I asked if I could make some modifications and they were happy to help me, Vietnamese shots, condense milk and almond milk hot beverage OMG...just a touch of sweetness, dark roast coffee shots in the mix with almond milk just made right!!!. Rose bloom latte, normally the rose syrup tend to be overpowering but this drink was made just right, no sweet no overpowering no after taste and yo still taking the coffee shots. We also order tuna melt but instead of cheese we order with scrabble eggs, I know sound weird but it tastes amazing and we add some pastries to go almond croissant and blueberry muffin Definitely, I am coming back!!! P.S. My stepfather met us at PBC and order the croissant breakfast turkey sandwich and the pistachio latte read more

I got espresso. Tried single origin and their house blend Single Origin (Guatemala): 3.5/5 Bright, citrus-forward, probably orange. Light body, high acidity, no bitterness. Not much crema, but clean and well-executed. Just wanted a little more depth or mouthfeel. House Blend: 3/5 A touch bitter for my taste. Slight fruitiness--maybe plum--and dark chocolate notes underneath. Crema was nice, aroma was promising, but the bitterness held it back slightly. Note: I don't usually mention service, but they deserve a nod. I came in near closing, and they were thoughtful about pacing the shots and made no fuss about dine-in. Appreciated. read more

A hidden gem in Walnut Creek. They roast all their coffee beans in the house. They have different methods and techniques of making coffee. My wife got the raspberry Mocha and its soo good!

I've been coming to Pacific Bay Coffee Co. for quite some time now, and it never disappoints. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the smell of freshly roasted coffee and a warm, relaxed atmosphere that instantly makes you want to stay awhile. The coffee is consistently excellent--rich, smooth, and clearly crafted by people who truly care about what they're doing. Whether I order an espresso, cappuccino, or latte, it's always perfectly balanced and made with attention to detail. You can really taste the quality of the beans, and the drinks are never rushed or sloppy. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the people. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. They remember regulars, take the time to answer questions, and always make you feel comfortable--whether you're grabbing a quick cup to go or settling in for a longer visit. Pacific Bay feels like a true neighborhood coffee spot: calm, inviting, and authentic. It's a great place to meet a friend, get some work done, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a great cup of coffee. Easily one of my favorite places in Walnut Creek, and a spot I'm always happy to recommend. Thank you!! read more

Pacific Bay Coffee Co - Balsamic bless, mango lemonade and iced tea - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I got a vietnamese coffee from here and they literally filled it up halfway. Like they couldn't even fill the rest with milk or anything. It's like getting food at a restaurant and they only give you half a plate of food. My friend and I were so shocked we just started laughing. But it's not even funny. They literally couldn't even fill it up all the way. EDIT: I did not finish the coffee. I actually took 1 sip from it and threw it away outside of the restaurant because not only was it less than half full, it tasted bad. Response to P.S.: You can ask your own employee how much she filled my cup! It was served to me like that - there is no motive for me to lie. Accusing an unsatisfied customer who received a half-filled drink isn't very good service at all! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and as a business, you have to be open to criticism. If you really think this review is fake and outrageously unfair, you can take it up with Yelp, like I recommended in our private messages. read more
