Cafe By The Bay

I love this place! I go here every weekend. The staff are wonderful and the coffee is very good. It's important to note, though, that the coffee flavor changes a LOT depending on which staff makes it. My biggest gripe is that being inside the building just sucks a bit. It's always somehow too hot and humid despite the outside temperature, and the music is always waaay too loud, to the point you almost have to shout to talk to the person next to you. The themeing on the inside is very nice, but as soon as a crowd is in there its just suffocating to be inside. Also, it's near impossible to get into the building on a wheelchair if the doors are closed. The doors open on a slight ramp/hill, they are very heavy, and you have to open both of the doors to fit in because a single door is too narrow for a wheelchair.

Seriously the best cafe! My go to spot for lunch they have literally everything you could want. Their acai is so fresh (not sorbet) and their sandwiches are amazing! Incredible prices and awesome location - can walk to the bay easily! Love this place so much! The owner is also the nicest and the staff is really friendly!

Really true....good service. Get there 30 before lunch time though. Can get crazy with beaches on each side of the Cafe. Pr just call in your order. Food was fresh...and better then what I make at home. Well worth the $10. Plus a $3 tip. Outside seating was clean as well,....great shade. And another plus.....the stunning redhead woman making my sandwich.
