Crema's Take
“Pacific Bay's in-house roasting program gives them serious control over their espresso and pour-overs, and regulars rave about the precision in their cappuccinos and single-origin offerings. The vibe here skews toward lingerers—excellent pastries, generous sandwiches, and thoughtful service make it feel like a proper third space rather than a grab-and-go spot. Skip the matcha unless you're desperate, but come for coffee that actually justifies the trip from neighboring towns.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

I would not recommend getting a matcha latte here. This was by far the worst iced matcha latte I have ever had. You can tell by the color, how light the green is-that it’s going to be bad. It had ZERO matcha taste/flavor and just tasted like straight up milk. This was my first…
