Benicia Coffee Company

This is one of my favorite places to go to study. It isnt too big but there is usually seating with outlets and wifi. The employees are so friendly, the drinks are good, and there is food and ice cream too!

My husband and I have been going here for a little over a year. The coffee and service is always good. It's cash only but they have an ATM inside. I highly recommend this place.

Great place to hang out with friends while enjoying a cup of coffee and sandwich. Be warned that this place is Cash only

Great hidden place to go with your family/kids to have coffee and desert or ice cream. I didn't try the sandwiches this time but they have a big variety of sandwiches that I hope we get to try next time we go.

Welcoming, comfortable environment. Locally owned business with lots of regulars and a great place to meet up with friends. Good coffee, pastries, soup, creative sandwiches, and friendly staff. Free WiFi.

I love this place.... Great people.... Great coffee.....more people should know about this place....well maybe not because then it would be too crowded...lol

Great vibes and energy here… The staff is fantastic, the coffee is excellent, and the various “melt” sandwiches are outstanding … I especially love the pizza melt!

This is my favorite coffee shop. They have great coffee and wonderful sandwiches, such as the California Club, my favorite. I often sit in there for hours working or reading. I highly recommend it.

So friendly and quaint here. And they make the best chai freeze. And the music and vibe is awesome. Why did I just find out about this place? So many wasted hours and dollars at Sbux. SMH. Definitely love this place.

I LOVE this place !! The employees are always so nice and friendly! They have amazing coffee and food .. you can't go wrong!

Wonderful coffee and tea, plus great goodies to eat! Sandwiches are great, too! And all the employees are THE BEST! Love this place!

I love coming here to study, they’re open late unlike most places. The food is great and the portions are big enough to share. The customer service is on point, they’re all extremely nice. I like the various soda waters they have so far my favorite is their banana flavor. I would highly recommend checking out this establishment if you haven’t already.

Such a great hidden gem of a coffee shop! The BLAT was perfect, the mocha was excellent, the owners are calm and helpful and the atmosphere is quiet and dark - loved it!

Can’t in here for a few drinks on Father’s Day for the 1st time, the store looks authentic and clean, prices are reasonable and the coffee was amazing, over all it’s a great local store and this will be our next go to when we are in town

Better food and coffee than the chains (Starbucks). Nice place to hang out. Cash only unfortunately.

This place is like cheers, Joe the owner is awesome, she knows what my wife and I drink we don't even need to say what we want. Her staff is really nice. It's a great place to hang out and enjoy a nice cup of coffee

The drinks are good, the service is friendly, the parking is easy, and the atmosphere is very relaxing if you want to stay and chill. Only downside is that a lot of elderly people feel the same way and you'll get social clubs or planning committees or various other groups of older people meeting there regularly and they don't tend to keep their voices down.

Love this place! It has a warm, local, and inviting feel. I stopped by to get some work done and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The coffee and food is good too! The bacon melt was made fresh with high quality ingredients. They got a full menu of drinks and food. This is my new local spot!

Came in based on the reviews and got the California Club which comes with chips and salsa! Super yummy and I like how it comes cut in different pieces. The mini sprouts on it were good :) double shot espresso was delicious! Cash only place they have an ATM on site. Great prices and friendly atmosphere. I want to come back and try other Sandwiches! Free WIFI also.

Perfect small town coffee place. Friendly staff and customers. Many regulars. I wish they would start a real bakery. We need one here.

I never realized how popular this spot is! It seems to be massively popular amongst the locals. There is a wide assortment of coffee, and they also have sandwiches, pastries, and other snacks to choose from. I ordered the bacon turkey melt. It was delicious!

Benicia Coffee Company is a five star local gem, celebrated for its cozy atmosphere, fast WIFI, and truly excellent coffee, including a stand out double shot espresso. The full all day menu offers high quality food, like the generous Breakfast Sandwich and fresh quiche. It's the ultimate community spot for a quick break or work session.

Good McLuaghlin coffee options and Holiday special flavors. Jamaican Blue mountain in now!!! CASH ONLY

Was warm and had a good level of noise. The menu was big and the staff was friendly. I would recommend!

Great coffee and cozy vibe! The espresso was rich and smooth, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Highly recommend if you’re in Benicia!

went here after i got my oil changed at jiffy lube cause one of the workers named pat recommend the smoothies and said he’s been trying different flavors every time he comes in. i got the peach mango one and my friend got the berry orange one. i am not kidding if you go here and don’t get the peach mango smoothie you will spend the rest of your life regretting it. on your death bed your memory won’t be filled of your loving family or your early years in life. it will be filled with thoughts of what could’ve been had you tasted this smoothie. so listen to pat and go get that peach mango smoothie, before it’s too late.

Great place for bean juice and pastries. Surprised it was cash only, but they have an ATM inside the location. Staff is great and a variety of drinks was on point. At times the parking is whack.

London fog, who heard of earl grey yea with a shot of espresso? Londoners? Very unique indeed. Cofy lounge chairs. Soft colored walls. Good cup of joe.

Jo and Phil are most welcoming. They hustle to serve us during our weekly Friday gatherings even beginning my usual order before I get to the register. One negative note (unrelated to the service) it gets VERY noisy when certain equipment is used (grinding, steaming, etc.). There needs to a cover over those machines to reduce it. It can't be healthy for workers there, either! Good product and good service!

Excellent coffee at a reasonable price. Also sells food and ice cream so don't fill up on coffee 😋 If this business wasn't "cash only" I would have given them 5 stars....join the rest of us in the 21st century.

On 11/29/24 around 8am, I overheard a group of regulars (older men) say among themselves, “All women are stupid,” and I left because it made me uncomfortable.

Came to order a cafe mocha on a Saturday morning. The coffee was okay. Atmosphere gave out that welcoming and cozy feel with warm lighting and just the right volume of background music with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. In terms of seating , there were a mix of tables for 6 and 4 for group settings and window seating for individual and work setting with charging ports. Cleanliness-wise, the friendly staff were ever vigilant to keep the tables and it’s surroundings in order. If you are intending to try it out, bring cash or you can use the ATM located inside. If you want strong freshly brewed coffee, this is place you should try out.

Good coffee and sandwiches to enjoy, the only thing for you to be aware is no public restrooms and cash only, that has been going on for years. Only reason I can't give it 5 stars.

I would of gave it 5 stars, but just like every Italian business (totally legit), they only accept cash or checks. But all kidding aside, I can't remember the last time I wrote check, and who the hell carries cash anymore? So I continue to come because the coffee is great, but I always need to go to the bank first (or you can use their machine for a hefty fee) to get cash. Last time I checked this is 2025... management: please keep up with the times. Other than that, great coffee.

Friendly staff. Nice amount of indoor and outdoor seating. We had a club sandwich and a turkey sandwich. The menu offers a good variety of drink and sandwich options.

Decent coffee, but this place is often staffed with frosty people who probably shouldn’t work in customer service. Also, the cash only thing is ludicrous in this day and age.

Great hospitality, yet, Danny lil, dry sandwiches, over priced.+++

The place has been a staple for us for years and things are consistent. You will be recieved by very preoccupied staff. When you see the large assortment of offerings; do get past the frosty and preoccupied staff, try the espresso or a capachino and add some fresh baked sweets or a savory sandwich. The 1 stars are for still in 2021 accepting local checks and cash only and treating your patrons according to their ethnic identity. Perhaps there remains some unconscious bias towards members of the community who in appearance may not seem to be "local". Our experience was further validated when a local walked in and not only were they warmly greeted and offered options; they got good service. For us; it was a hand gesture to the ATM, followed by a cold cafeteria lady response to orders followed by the staff saying " we charge 25 cents for cup of water" and then just place the orders on the counter. I wonder if the Starbucks staff could give a diversity, inclusion and customer service training to this business. We will not be giving our business to this place anymore.

Waited in line to find out that its cash only.... i jump over to the atm to get cash that took not even a minute to come back to the register to find out i have to wait in line all over again. First off.. who doesn't accept card?! Its not like we live in the 50s. Secondly, i you know im stepping to the side to get cash. Why cancel my order. I really wish i could taste this over priced sandwich to see what i was missing...

Only had Apple Pay with me so I could not get anything here. Cash or card only. No places around that exchange Apple Pay for cash. After 20 mins of looking I went home

Been here a handful of times and never really got a warm feeling. I've seen the warmth in the place. I'm a small business owner and when a new client/customer comes in I definitely greet them. All times there was no greeting, but today was a bit different. I get it might be busy. But, it wasn't busy enough not to take my order when I was the only one in line and I had been patiently waiting and looking at the young lady and the barista as he was working. She walked back and forth past me with no greeting and then proceeded to the back. He still hadn't greeted me or said anything of the sort like we will get you soon. I walked out . Lost a customer
