    Mexican mocha frappe
    Heather Bee R.

    Our favorite pit stop when we drive to Half-Moon Bay! The best little big coffee shop, super fast, friendly and delicious. A convenient drive-thru or walk-up option.

    The two times I've been here the staff are so happy and fun to talk to! So far I've had a white mocha: which tastes amazing. It's not too sugary and has the perfect amount of coffee taste! (bucks is overpowered with the white chocolate, this is the perfect balance!) I then also had a caramel frappe and it was super refreshing not too sugary! I don't know what coffee they use but it is so smooth and delicious! I've now found my favorite coffee place here in HMB. Thank you so much to your amazing staff!

    Alpresso is located in a great spot in half moon bay and I love the aspect of there being a drive thru as well . I come here to get my coffee kick as usual every morning before going to work . I like the cheese bagel with cream cheese or jam , plenty of pastries as well . Definitely recommend

    Red velvet frappe

    I absolutely love this drive thru coffee shop in half moon bay , they have plenty of dairy free options including almond milk, soy milk. I have gotten both blended and hot drinks here and always get my favorite maple scone. The owner and the barista were super friendly. Thanks for the great experience every time.

    This cutesy tearoom was the perfect place to spend time with my mom when she was visiting…read more Everything was tea-licious. Let's go from most memorable to great: 1) The scones! We need to talk about the scones! The owner said they get made every day from scratch and are turned by hand, which makes all the difference, and boy oh boy was she right. Most scones I've had so far often make my mouth feel like the Sahara Desert afterward, but these ones were absolute perfection. We had the blueberry-orange one and the strawberry-white chocolate one. Both are winners. 2) The tea. As you can expect, they have an enormous selection of tea, and it is very hard to pick one. I eventually settled on a floral blend (yum!), and my mom picked a fruity one, and both were fantastic. There is a lot of tea in the pot, and getting it empty is no easy feat. 3) Sandwiches. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see they had the cucumber one and the egg salad sandwich. Both were very fresh and didn't taste like they had been made 2 days before and popped them in the fridge. 4) The interior. Lace: yes. Frilly things: yes. Lampshades: yes. China: yes, yes, and yes. Floral patterns: yes. Charm: absolutely yes. Their restroom is also worth a visit. 5) Chocolate-covered strawberries. These deserve their own shout out because I for sure popped one whole in my mouth and it was amazing. 6) The service. Maybe weird to put this one in 6th place because they were highly attentive and overall great, but I really liked the food and the tea, what can I say. 7) Everything else (minus the kale salad): cookies, fruit skewer, quiche, jams 8) Price: We opted for the Tea for Two, and it came to $96, which is definitely not cheap but definitely worth it for the experience alone (and the scones!). 9) Kale salad: Was it bad? No. It was alright. But hey, there is only so much you can improve on when it comes to kale.

    Hey Yelp! Why did my previous Cafe Society review go? In any case, if you're looking for a local…read morecoffee place that offers soul and vibrancy, then you need to come to Cafe Society. I love this local coffee place. They have sweet breads. And quiche. And little sandwiches. And house Made soup of the day. Of course, all kinds of coffees, and teas, and hot chocolate. And if you really need it some sodas and waters. Today's coffee for me was just a simple latte. A delicious one to be sure! I recommend when you order yours that you get it for consumption at Cafe Society, in a nice cup. Many times a month. They also have live music including jazz, and many other things. If you happen to play the piano, or have some sort of instrument you can bring with you, Cafe Society is also amenable to having you come in at the moment and entertain the crowd. There are two pianos on site., A pair of pianists who show up that wants to duel could probably do it. Separate rooms in the cafe. But that would make it all the more enjoyable for people sitting in the middle listening to a piano duel. And with the way the tables are arranged at the current time, access to electrical outlets at more than a couple of tables is available. So Cafe Society makes a great place for your day's adventure. Stop to enjoy a little recharge of both your body, and your devices. Their bathroom is always kept clean. Even to the point of letting your child go in alone. On any given day, there is parking within a reasonable walking distance, if not directly out in front. Cafe Society is located on Main Street in half Moon Bay. It's both easy to find, and easy to miss. So keep your eyes open. But if you do happen to miss it, they are located in the ground floor of the Odd Fellows Hall building. If you're looking up, look for the eyeball staring back at you at the roofline. Somewhat friendly during the daytime. Somewhat spooky at night But always an attention grabber. LOL I totally recommend Cafe Society and half Moon Bay. They've been around for a long time. There are many reasons for it. And those reasons are the motivation for my visits, again and again.

I got a cold brew and a hummus and olive salad here. Coffee was good, but I was not a fan of the salad. The hummus made the greens wilted, otherwise the rest of the dish would have been fine. Cool decor inside, the bathroom has stairs going into the ceiling and a door halfway up the wall which makes me wonder what the original purpose of the building was.

    Why were we here on this late morning after 11:00 a.m? It was noon and McDonalds stopped serving…read moretheir breakfast menu. We were looking for a quaint breakfast spot and Taste Cafe has great reviews on Yelp. At first we were disappointed that it was in a strip mall but that all changed when we walked in. The interior is decorated with many clocks so you don't really know what it is. The service staff is friendly and polite. The biscuits and gravy were great and the hash brown portions were generous and crispy. We were on our way for a bike ride up Lobitos Creek and Tunitas. We were a little too full after the breakfast but it was worth carrying the extra weight up 2,800' of climbing.

    "NO WATER BOTTLE ON THE TABLE!"…read more That was literally what was said to me today -- after I had already placed my food order. I've come here several times with my kids after playing at the indoor playground next door. In the past, I've found the servers attentive, friendly, and nice, and it had become part of our routine to stop here after playground time. Unfortunately, today's visit left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We had water bottles with us because we had just spent time at the playground. They were sealed water bottles, and while we were there, I had ordered food and water from the restaurant. After I placed our food order, a staff member came all the way over to our table specifically to tell me not to put the water bottle on the table. There wasn't an extra chair or obvious place to put my things, so I awkwardly had to keep the bottle on my chair or place it on the floor. If this rule is going to be enforced this strictly -- even for a mom with two young kids coming from the playground next door with a sealed water bottle -- it would be helpful to make that clear BEFORE customers sit down and order. I would have appreciated the opportunity to make an informed decision before placing my order, rather than being corrected afterward in a way that felt unnecessarily embarrassing as a paying customer. I understand the need to enforce policies, especially around outside food and drinks. But there should also be some balance and common sense in how rules are applied. A sealed water bottle is very different from bringing in outside food or drinks to replace ordering from the restaurant. This was not a huge incident, but it made the experience feel rigid and unwelcoming. Unfortunately, because of this interaction, I do not plan to come back. I also know other families who follow a similar playground-and-meal routine, and I would share this experience with them so they know what to expect. UPDATE: In response to business' comment: You completely missed the point. My issue was not simply that the restaurant has a no outside food/drink policy. My issue was HOW and WHEN that policy was enforced. If water bottles are not allowed on the table, I would have respected the rule much more if that had been clearly communicated BEFORE I sat down and placed an order. Instead, I was corrected only AFTER I had already ordered food and became a paying customer. That timing matters. It is not acceptable customer service to take a customer's order first, then strictly enforce a rule afterward in a way that makes the customer feel embarrassed and unwelcome. If this rule is important enough to enforce against a sealed water bottle, it should be communicated clearly BEFORE customers sit down or spend money. That was the core issue with my experience.
