Benicia Coffee Company

Be aware - it's CASH ONLY. Coffee, breakfast pastry, and a laptop. This was my first visit here. I only ordered a basic latte and a pastry from the display case, and I paid $10 PLUS - eek!I was a little thrown off by "cash only," and I almost left because I never carry cash. The cashier pointed out the ATM machine located in the back. Normally, I would have passed but I wanted to give this small business a chance. I believe I paid an additional $1.50 transaction fee, PLUS my bank charged me another $3.00. No bueno! Other than that, Benicia Coffee Company is a cozy little coffee shop located on Columbus Parkway near the Vallejo city limits. Customer service was good. Ambiance and pastry was good. Sadly, WiFi was a little spotty. Coffee was average for what I ordered, but it looks like they have a lot of great coffee beans to try. Definitely want to go back and try some of their specialty coffee and maybe some of their food. This time with cash on hand.

Love this spot. Super chill and a great place to tuck away in a corner and study while enjoying a good brewed coffee. They offer a variety of different coffee grinds and everything else you need to be a coffee spot. They only accept cash or check which is a bummer. Overall, love this spot for what it is. Friendly staff, good coffee, and quiet.

Ordered a Cream Cheese Pumpkin loaf. It was small, dry & not warmed up. For the price of $3.50 I'll go back to Rrags Cafe for a much better breakfast treat!

Love this place!I work in the area twice a week and this spot has become a must stop before work. I usually arrive around little after 5AM, so there's not a lot of customers. I order a large sugar vanilla latte with oat milk, extra hot and they make it consistently the same, which is really good!FYI, they only take cash. There is an ATM inside the store. Highly recommend!

Looking from outside I was like hmmm but when I went it was actually nice and cozy and relax. My coffee was actually delicious and the service was great experience. Cash only in this place which I didn't mind if its for a good coffee and service!

Super cute little coffee shop! The coffee is tasty and they always have the best treats. Love their scones.

OK coffee, But the petite, mature brown-skinned woman who waited on me today was extremely cold and abrupt. She talked a mile a minute, and could not wait to turn and walk away from me as quickly as possible, both after taking my order and then bringing me my drink. Not friendly at all; indeed, kind of weird.

This was the third coffee shop I went to in the area and it did not disappoint in having horrible tasting coffee. The beans were burned and stale tasting. I saw that they had some good looking beans for sale but didn't use those in my latte, they used some old stale burned beans in the espresso that went into my latte. Bummer

Great environment, good food but man is the service really slow. They need to hire more people. I got my food relatively quick but you will be here for at least 20-30 mins waiting for your coffee. Also Cash only??? Seriously it's 2024.

If you want to avoid the big chain coffee places, this place might be your new favorite. So far I've tried the Chai tea, a caramel latte and a mocha, a tuna melt and a pastry. The chai tea was excellent, the latte pretty tasty and I spilt the mocha all over myself at my car, so can't say anything other than "double check your coffee lids before you attempt to get in your car with a hot coffee" lol. The tuna melt was excellent-I'm fact I've gotten that 2X. The ambiance is low key and chill, although I noticed some of my fellow oldsters getting a little animated one day over a discussion over who knows what Be sure to get your coffee discount card stamped!
