For surely hole in wall. The wait was wayyyyyyy too long for an ice cream. Probably the owner was all by himself and that could be the reason. The ice cream itself was okay but it was a very generous portion.

I haven't been here in years...and this time I've brought my kids! A very nice & patient man helped us with our ice cream order. We tried the peanut butter chocolate, mint chocolate chip, cookies'n'cream, & chocolate. ALL of it was still delicious & refreshing (good sized scoops too)! There's a good group of outdoor tables to sit at. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area again.

After a warm day at the beach with my grandchildren, having ice cream was a perfect ending to our day. Thankfully, Captain Davey's was close by. Although it was busy, the line moved quickly. The portions are quite large which delighted my grandkids. I had the espresso blast which was delicious. The man serving was friendly and efficient. This place is tiny with no indoor sitting but there were several tables outdoors. I was pleasantly surprised by the cost- all 3 of our ice cream orders came to just under $10.

This place seems like it would be a requirement for the demographic, however, a quick work stop in bodega bay had me wanting a pick me up coffee, which was not positive at captain Daveys. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered a coffee, possibly Ice cream is the preferred purchase? The inside seems a bit dirty and unsanitary, which I tried to look past. I wish there were more options in the area, but next time I would just rather go without.

Went there for ice cream during a storm. Probably not the smartest idea but the ice cream and coffee were solid

We went to Captain Davey's for Ice Cream based on the overall 4.7 reviews of "great ice cream."If you like Yuban coffee rather than real coffee, you'll enjoy the oddly textured and tasteless ice cream served here just like the good old days of poor quality ice cream.If you've come to enjoy Scoops in Fairfax or Strauss Creamery, or any of the multitude of high quality ice cream shops in the Marin/Sonoma area, then give the Captain a hard pass.I literally tossed the two scoops of ice cream into the trash after trying several spoons. The texture reminded me of the wood putty I used the prior day as it actually stretched like goop as you pulled the spoon away, it didn't melt in your mouth like good ice cream, and it had no discernable flavor of the coffee or pistachio scoops I bought. Certainly no joy from eating it, unless you just like cold stuff.Service was slow, as only one person is handling everything, and two groups walked away. The line gave me high hopes as it was definitely Scoops like, although not as fast moving, but sadly no payoff for waiting. It was a hot day, so thus the line.It's an off beat location next to the post office and a hot dog joint, but pleasant being right on the bay and off the beaten path of the two major tourist wharfs.Too bad the ice cream is so bad, and I suspect the espresso and coffee is just as poor from the aroma of the pull the prior customer got.Step up your game, Captain.

I have been going to this little hole in the wall coffee shop for many years up till I moved across country in August 2022 . Although I was just back visiting my Grandmother on 3/5/24 for the first time in 18 months . So I had to stop in and I was glad I did , The local Chai is still as good as I remembered . The doughnuts are nothing special but the Ice Cream is awesome and the coffee is pretty good to . I had a great conversation with the skinny blonde girl working , it is always great to be treated like family . If I ever do decide to visit CA again I will definitely stop back in

You have to go here if you visit Bodege Bay. We are obsessed with this place. Some of the biggest ice cream scoops I have ever had. Captain Davey himself works behind the counter and he does not fool around. He was giving it his all scooping ice cream for me and making amazing coffee with his very nice-looking espresso machine. If I lived here I would come once a week. This is a small place and its only one man so if you can go in the middle of the day you will avoid a line. There is not a lot of seating. The hot dog place next door let us use their bathroom.

Love this little coffee shop. Owner is great. Perfect for breakfast coffee and pastries. Also revisit in the pm for nice selection of ice cream!

This cute little ice cream shop was such a fun way to end out time out on the coast. A small shop but full of charm, the family enjoyed coffee while we looked out at the small inlet that the shop and post office are on.

Love my affogato with salted caramel ice cream. I added chocolate powder to take down the sweetness. Such a yummy pick-me-up treat
