いいえ、「pass by at」のような表現はありません、文法的に間違っています。
さらに「make a pass at」とありますが、これは積極的に失礼なこと、誰かに(性的に)嫌がらせをすることを意味します。😆

@les-petits-pandas pass itとpass by itは同じ意味でpass by at itという言い方は無いという事ですか? How about "stop by" "stop by at"?😊

YES.
They’re stopping at the supermarket on their way to the party= They’re stopping by at the supermarket on their way to the party.
BUT we usually do not bother to say it with one more word, "by".

@les-petits-pandas I made sentences by myself. Please let me know if it"s wrong.
When I went for a drive with my friend, we passed by a cafe that I wanted to go
If we pass by our favorite cafe on the way back home, I'd like to stop by at it!
We walked past the restaurant that we were looking for
