Coffee is decent. the vibe is low key. Staff is friendly. Not sure if the bathroom is part of their building, but no soaps or towels.

Everyone that works here is so nice! The coffee is good too—it’s not the best coffee I’ve ever had, but I am never sorry to be drinking it. Plus I really appreciate that they offer big drink sizes and not just small ones.

Great set up in a warm, cozy building...beautiful view of the marina you can see from all the windows or from any of the outdoor seating. The savory food is delicious, filling, and affordable and the pastries are more than satisfying for any sweet tooth...love the atmosphere here...and conveniently next to the ferry boarding. One of my favorite morning spots in the Vallejo locale.

Came here on a Saturday morning and ordered a cafe mocha, the coffee was good. Good mix of espresso, chocolate and steamed milk. I’m not sure what brand of coffee but it has a subtle taste to it that at first seems like it’s not enough when you take a sip but then it kicks in after a while. Nice mix of sweet and bitter softened by the steam milk.If your in the Bay Area , id recommand checking it out.

Friendly staff, wide variety of tasty drinks with quick service. The pastries are just ok. I haven’t had any other foods there. They give my dog a pup cup which he enjoys a lot. It’s a great place to take a seat when waiting for the ferry as there is a clear view of the dock.

This is my favorite spot for gluten free cookies. If you’re gluten free spread the word since it’s hard to find good treats.

honestly super nice place, the baristas were all super kind and helpful (also they complimented my brat bracelets :D). great atmosphere, real cozy and welcoming. the prices are a little high and the food (a vanilla and strawberry shake and a chocolate croissant) are just okay. but those are the only complaints I have. overwise really lovey place!
