What an unassuming but lovely coffee shop! The line was long but it moved very quickly. Everyone behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I got an iced chai and jalapeño and bacon scone and they were both delicious! They have a very impressive list of syrups so I will definitely be back to try some of their fun drink combinations/flavors!

Ava took my order and was super friendly welcoming me in and pointed out their many flavor shot options. We made small talk about the little frog that was rescued and now a member of the shop as seen in the photo. She asked how I heard about them and I told her my aunt recommended it to me for the castle-like aesthetic. Though, that was just a bonus as my order was delicious too! I ordered the Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin, which was perfectly moist. It was more on the chocolaty side, which I personally love, but the banana gave it that bouncy texture. I also got an Iced Mocha with Butterscotch, oat milk, and no whipped cream. It was delicious and the perfect balance between chocolate and butterscotch. I was happy that I could actually taste the butterscotch flavoring without it being overly sweet. Next time, I would like to try one of their breakfast sandwiches and I would be curious to know if they have for-here ware to enjoy the beautiful scenery for longer. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small coffee shop with delicious pastries and a wide-variety of coffee flavors!

My partner and I hit the road at 5am last friday to drive back home for HOURS. an hour in, we decided we needed some coffee so I searched for some coffee shops on the way home and found this place. At first we both thought it was going to be a cheap espresso and coffee pot shops so our expectations weren't very high yet once we arrived we completely changed our minds. The exterior is cottage-y and whimsical which we thought was cute since the rest of the neighboring buildings were nice apartments and buildings. When you walk in, the 2 female workers were super friendly by greeting us and starting to chat with us about our day. They have a HUGE list of coffee syrups to pick from which was great since we love different flavors yet not many places have the flavors we want! The workers were freshly making their breakfast sandwiches on croissants and asked if we wanted one because they smelled wonderful. My partner got an iced banana latte and a sandwich. He said the sandwich was delicious and devoured it all. As well as his coffee, I tried some and they perfectly added just enough banana just so it's not too sweet nor to bland. I love pour overs, yet again not many offer them, but they had a long list of pours overs to pick from! I ended up taking the workers advice and trying the Mayan which is a spiced chocolate and cinnamon notes. Usually in pour overs, people mess them up and you can't really taste the notes or anything so it's just a black coffee. My standards still weren't very high yet as K watched them make the pour over, I trusted them a little more because they'd perfectly time it and watch everything. Once I tried it, I was taken back. It was really chocolaty and spiced! Like I took a bite of a spicy chocolate bar! I was head over heels for this pour over. The workers wished us safe travels as we left and we couldn't stop talking about how good their coffee was. It's been a few days and I'm craving another pour over so bad from this place. I highly recommend stopping at this place if you're in the area or if you want some good coffee! From the sandwiches to the pour overs, it seems like they perfected it all.

Panama Bay Coffee Shop is a super cute & small cafe! It's like a little fairy home, and has such a unique charm -- I especially loved the pollinator plants in their tiny garden. The space inside is very small, It's definitely a spot to grab (your coffee & pastry) and go, especially on these rainy days. There wasn't any indoor seating, but there is some outdoor seating available, but they weren't set up today as I imagine it's because its a rainy day. I was served by Sydney, she was quick to take my order which was a hot English Toffee Chai and a banana walnut muffin. Both of these were pretty good, but the more sips I took of my chai, the more I couldn't help but think "this tastes like bone broth" lol. It was intriguing, but I probably wouldn't get this drink again. The muffin was really good and quite big! I'd love to come back here on a sunny day to try another drink & treat.

been stopping by here every now and then and wanted to say how much i adore this place !! every employee is so warm and kind, the cafe itself is beautiful and such a good vibe, we always get a banana bread latte and then something else to try and we've loved it all!

This Banana Walnut muffin is Pure Deliciousness! The Friendly Chef was telling me she wakes up very early to bake these tasty goodies for her customers. & let me tell you, you can taste the freshness ! Very much appreciated, Thankyou!

A pepper sandwich! Estimated Pickup Time October 27, 2025 10:45 AM

Quick service. I ordered a sandwich online and it was ready even though I showed up early. They poured an excessive amount of pepper on the eggs. Maybe it was on purpose - maybe not? Maybe they were having a bad day. If they respond then I'll know they care about customer service.

Let me start by saying I absolutely adore this place. I found this place on yelp and sent my…read moreboyfriend to pick up smoothies one morning on a whim. The first time got us hooked. The morning ritual is the best smoothie I've ever had. It's hard to balance health and flavor, but this was both healthy and incredible. They list the ingredients used in each smoothie, so you know all of what they contain. You can even add different boosters such as mass muscle, etc. It's located inside of a gym, to the right side of it. Don't be thrown off, you don't need a membership to enjoy the fantastic smoothies. The workers have been really sweet each time we've visited, and when we ordered via Uber it was ready upon arrival. One of the only drawbacks is how expensive it is. I also really wish that they listed their nutrition facts online. For such a health oriented company it's shocking that they don't, and especially a company of decent size. The smoothies contain dates, nuts, etc. So although they are good ingredients they can be high in fats, so it's important to know. Our smoothie also has coffee as well which we enjoy, but knowing the caffeine content would be appreciated. My last order also had huge white frozen balls that were unblended in it which was odd, I'm not quite sure what they were. If the price was lower, we would come here much more often. It is a great way to start your morning, and makes you feel fantastic afterwards.

Staff are lively and friendly. AÇAÍ SUPERFOOD BOWL: Very distinct cinnamon flavor, FYI! Pleasant but just a heads up. Otherwise so fresh & bursting with flavor. Toppings were good quality and ripe. This is a huge portion... I had to freeze half of it for the next day. My family actually sent this to me (knowing that I do Yelp... And love smoothie bowls... smh). A bit out of the way for us being located in a smaller, residential shopping mall. But great for locals!

It was a rainy day, but that didn't stop me from having a smoothie…read more I got the blue bondives, bf got the warrior smoothies. I placed a mobile order and it was ready as scheduled. What's great is that this place opens rather early, 9 am. The smoothie was yummy. It contained pieces of oats (from the added granola) so it was kind of hard to sip through a straw. I think next time I'll tell them to just blend it all together. It's a pretty smoothie to look at and it was made perfectly. I'll have to try a bowl soon. There's plenty of outside seating. Staff is friendly. It's not very big inside. Best to order and then wait outside if it's busy.

I love Palmetto and I typically visit the Livermore location; however, I was in Walnut Creek and…read moresaw there was one in town and had to check it out. This location is much smaller than the Livermore and Fremont stores, many people stood off to the sides like sardines waiting for their order or just outside. The service was good - I was appreciative of the young lady who took my order was very polite, patient, and was actually able to answer my questions around their rewards program and ensured that I got my points after making my purchase. My order took about 8-10 minutes as they were quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a custom medium acai and mango bowl with a variety of fruits (not all), granola, and drizzles. The total was over $14 with tax. When I got my order, it looked just as colorful as always, but with less fruit toppings than I was expecting from past Palmetto visits at other locations. These fruit bowls aren't cheap, not sure if that's how the WC location operates, but I'll keep that in mind for next time if I'm back in the area.

I do wish they had the ability to double up on the bee pollen and vitamin c options instead of just a single serving extra, but the dish is always exactly as I order it, even if their paper bowls are a bit thin and tend to leak. I will say that my juice order has come wrong when I've put it in, so if you're on a specific cleanse cycle and need a specific number I would probably walk in instead to make sure you get the correct one, however the sizing of the juices themselves are perfect. Of the two I would choose Pressed Juicery over Palmetto Superfoods, just based on the options they have and how much I enjoyed their final product, so all in all, I've really enjoyed Pressed Juicery's wares and will definitely keep coming back.

Absolutely the best way to cool down! I was thrilled to discover Ice Monster in Walnut Creek! Not only can I get an authentic Taiwanese shaved ice, but they have an incredible variety of ice flavors (strawberry, mango, green tea, etc) and toppings. They also have boba tea (which also originated in Taiwan), milk tea, regular ice cream, freshly cooked Chinese finger foods, and more. The place has tables inside and out and is always immaculate. I also really appreciate that they don't add the problem of landfills overflowing with plastics! They use real dishes and real silverware. I don't know of any other place that conscientious. I have been going here for 8 years. It was started by a couple from Taiwan and the owners the last several years are from China. They keep the place open seven days a week, but even with that grueling work schedule, the customer service is always fantastic. They go out of their way to keep their customers happy. Apparently, I'm not the only one who loves the place, because when school gets out, the place is filled with teenagers and families with children. It's a great place to hang out. I've tried other places in the East Bay, but this is my absolute favorite place for Chinese shaved ice, boba tea, and other yummy foods. I can't recommend them highly enough!
