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 wasnt what I call good business. So, everyone....beware that you dont 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 announcement.

I love this place. Ive 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 theyve dealt with an ongoing homeless issue, so theyve 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 cant charge cell phones or computers here. Its still a good place to work for a while, just make sure all your gear is fully charged before you come.

The coffee and the small cafe menu are pretty good, especially the "Panama pockets" which are any combination of breakfast foods sealed between two pieces of toast (like a campfire pie). Definitely try the bacon, egg and cheese pocket-- it rocks. But you cant beat the location, atmosphere and cleanliness of this coffee house.

I used to go there frequently, but prices now are too expensive for the basic quality of service and the available coffee or food. Probably the rent is expensive or they have found out that they can survive with the sporadic customers that come around, waiting for the ferry. But it is no more the place for the locals.

Pricey for what it is. Staff is friendly. Room is pleasant. Chess players, local mix, folks headed for the ferry and the ballpark. Outdoor tables. 8 bucks for a grilled cheese sandwich thats nothing but bread, cheese and a bag is a little off-putting. Maybe a pickle? An olive? Cmon. Get off it.

Great local place to sit and relax, have coffee with friends and enjoy the view. Prices are a little high, but I have to assume they match the rent. I do miss the music provided by previous management though. It set a tropical type of atmosphere.

I like this place but is a little expensive. Staff is accommodating. No plugins to charge your phone and other devises.. I thought they had free WiFi, but I guess not. Good coffee and other snacks wraps, cookies, breads, breakfast items, etc.

I like checking out smaller coffee shops. Nothing unique here except the look of it. Because of that, it isnt any better than a run of the mill starbucks. Since it is at a transit center, prices are kinda high

Nice place to stop off and have a piece of lemon loaf if you arrive a little early or if you miss your ferry. Very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are very kind and helpful. Would come here again.

Decent offerings. Excellent place for waiting for the Ferry. It is also conveniently located to a number of Pokestops that spawn Magikarp, Poliwag, SlowPoke, Voltorb, Goldeens and Magnemites

Good coffee and service. It is a great pick me up in the mornings, waiting for the ferry. They are constantly having issues with their card reader. Id bring cash.

Cool people and I dont feel rushed by the constant horde of people. Nice atmosphere and a spectacular view of Vallejos water front.

Cute local spot to visit while waiting for the ferry. Can get pretty crowded as the ferry departure times get closer.

Caid Allison

Good service and coffee. Not a real big selection of food, but it is conveniently located in the ferry building

Ciera Smith

Very nice place to have some tea while you wait for the ferry. The staff is friendly and the cage is clean.

Not really impressed with the flavor of anything. Ordered a chai latte. It tastes like watered-down milk.
