I like a splash (less than a tablespoon) of heavy (whipping) cream in my iced coffee.

EVERY coffee house I go to, chain or local, gladly provides this for me. Until today.

After charging me $3.00 for a small iced coffee that's priced at $1.95 at Starbucks and Pete's, Pacific Bay Coffee Company refused, unless I would pay an additional $0.50.

(The rest of their prices are similarly high, in many cases about a dollar more than a comparable item at Starbucks, Pete's, or two of my favorites, Peaberry in Rockridge, Oakland, and San Francisco Coffee Roasting Company.)

The difference in product cost between equal amounts of half & half and whipping cream is about 0.7 of a penny. Since I used MORE half & half to approximate the effect of a tiny amount of whipping cream, the difference in cost is wiped out, or exceeded.

By the way, their iced coffee is lousy - not even as good as Starbucks, which I consider mediocre.

These jerks saved at most 0.7 of a penny, but pissed me off, inducing me to never come back and write this negative review.

Coffee is great, not the friendliest people except the mom and the Hispanic lady that has been working there for quite some time! Definitely needs a personality makeover!

Great, independent coffee shop. Nice place to get coffee with a friend. And they know how to make a proper Americano! No over watered espresso.

Super Cute place with a very tasty Ham and Cheese Croissant

Favorite coffee shop in Walnut Creek ❤️. Simple. Delicious. Big windows. Free parking. Lots of seating.

I liked the atmosphere and coffee but the owner (?) was grumpy and I didn't feel like going back again even though I usually prefer local business over chains.

Cozy, independent coffee shop! Delicious flat white and hot chocolate. Bright and inviting. It's a microroastery, so the drinks were really fresh.

One of the Best Café's in the 680/24 area. VERY friendly and social staff. Nice bay windows. Good coffee. Clean.

Consistently good coffee every time from in house roasting. Great relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Simply the best around.

Great coffee place! Awesome interior, great friendly staff. The only problem is neither me or my wife liked the coffee :/
