Such an awesome local place! Picked up a couple of bagel sandwiches (highly recommend the Land Lubber) and we were in and out in 5 minutes. It does get pretty packed on the weekends so come early. Not that much seating indoors but you're just a few minute walk from the beach. Come support a local business!

An order of fries.
Ry T.

Unclear of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff. We had just visited the Pacifica pier and wanted to support this neighborhood business. Hubby ordered the fish and chips which came with 3 pieces of fish. I didn't try it. It looked very generic previously frozen fish. I wanted chicken tenders as nothing else on the menu interested me. They ran out. I ended up with regular fries for under $7 which was a generous portion but they were just frozen ones they heated up. Like what can get at the supermarket, Ore Ida. Outdoor seating was casual and limited seating inside. The paper towel trash bin was over flowing in the bathroom.

Gangsta wrap

Delicious gangsta wrap and smoked salmon bagel. Will definitely be back for a casual pick me up breakfast. Coffee was also excellent. Literally is a shack and a hidden (or maybe not so hidden) gem. Lots of locals pouring in. We hung out on the patio and it was relaxing to hear the waves.

Blueberry Scone
Auggie L.

Went for Breakfast Food - 5/5. Blueberry scone was in the American style: sweet, buttery, and fluffy. Matcha-looking-at had a great blended consistency with just the right amount of sweetness to pair with the earthy, bitter flavors of matcha. The gangsta wrap was an excellent breakfast item, combining all the best flavors and textures of breakfast in one bite. The sausage and eggs were savory, the avocado and cheese added creaminess, the hash browns were rich and crispy, and the salsa brightened everything up with its vibrant taste. Tortilla was thin and just toasted enough to have that satisfying, light bite. Service - 4/5. Quick and friendly. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. Water was self-service. Value - 5/5. Prices are standard for the area with the pastry being $5, large drinks $8 and the wrap in the mid $10s. Flavors were good and the portions were fine. Nice breakfast location. Parking - Street (Free)

Everything bagel the add ons are the Italian.

After our walk at the pier, I headed to Cafe Pacifica. It's a great little spot. I ordered a vanilla latte with oatmilk and an everything bagel (an Italian) and I was able to scrambled eggs. It was awesome. The Cafe has a small seating area inside as well as a larger outside patio area. It was cool but it was a gorgeous day.

Breakfast!

Goto spot for breakfast with the family. Local spot. After our morning walks we head on over for some pancakes, eggs, and has browns. Burgers are filling and full of flavor. Staff are friendly and help with orders.

Man. I don't like to go under 3 stars if I can avoid it especially right now. But the things I list, I think work as constructive rather than destructive and I hope that the people reading agree. Don't use my review as an excuse not to go- please go and see if you can disagree with me because that's honestly what I would love. I would love to read about how much you love the place. Review: No. No thanks. -I don't mind the vaccine card only restrictions before it was put into law. -I don't mind sitting outside. -I don't mind having to get my own order after being told it would be brought out to us. -I don't mind using a plastic fork to eat my eggs and a clear plastic to-go container to eat my food instead of a plate. -I don't like that their isn't a bathroom. Give us food and drinks but not restroom? We have to come in to order, we have to come in to pick up our food, why can't we use bathroom? -I don't like being screamed at when the order is ready- no names are taken so what was being screamed from inside the restaurant to the outside patio in order to summon me was "EXTRA SAUSAGE" which is kind of funny now but was abrasive in the moment. Even the other guests were a shocked and made a couple jokes to take the edge off. -I don't like the very poor quality of the food. Breakfast is the easiest and probably the cheapest meal, and after ordering this, I would have preferred McDonalds. Same quality or worse but at least I could use the restroom and not have someone yell at me. Redeeming Factors: -I did really like my Pacifica Fog drink made with heavy cream and sugar free vanilla sweetener. This was actually pretty great. -It's right along the main street, easy to spot. They recommend you use the restroom on the Pier. You know, the one directly behind the other café in town, that's right on the ocean, which I am sure knows how to make tea. So, would I come back? No. No thanks.

Bacon, egg, cheese on everything bagel
Molly L.

We always come to this place for breakfast when we head to the dog beach around the corner. It's a really nice little spot with outdoor seating, though it's limited with only like 4 4-person tables. However, this place is right next to some office space that has benches surrounding it and so I think that's a better place to enjoy the food especially not during covid. The breakfast food is always pretty good! We enjoy their coffees and their bagels are always really fresh. I've ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagels and also the avocado and spice bagels. The food can sometimes take a bit long (one time I waited about 20 minutes) but the breakfast food is great.

Went here for my birthday dinner back in November and had such a great experience. I'd always…read morewanted to try Moonraker since I visit Rockaway Beach in Pacifica pretty often, and with its location right in the center of everything and those amazing ocean views, it always stood out. One thing I really loved was how easy it was to make a reservation online. Being able to choose your exact table and preview the view ahead of time was such a cool feature and made it easy to pick the perfect spot for a special dinner. The service was amazing from start to finish. We started with the smoked salmon appetizer with grilled baguette, mascarpone, onion, and capers, which was delicious. For my entrée, I had the Dungeness crab cakes with fall vegetables, mashed potatoes, marinated fennel, petite frisée, and caper aioli, and it was incredible. My partner got the lobster mac & cheese, which was rich, flavorful, and definitely did not disappoint. Between the great food, drinks, attentive service, and unbeatable view, it made for such a memorable birthday dinner. I'll definitely be coming back.

The scenery alone makes the wait for the food enjoyable and relaxing. We started with the clam chowder and calamari for appetizers. The calamari was a bit small for the price, but the chowder was enjoyable. For our entrees, we ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese, Grilled Salmon Pinwheel, Dungeness Crab Cioppino, and Mussels-Frites. The dishes were decent overall, though nothing particularly stood out for us. Unfortunately, the Mussels-Frites, listed as one of the Chef's Specialties was overly salty, which was a bit disappointing since we had high expectations for it. Overall, it seems like many people come here mainly for the beautiful coastal view and relaxing atmosphere rather than the food itself. As for us, it was nice to experience once, but probably not a spot we'd return to.

I love the fresh orange juice and carrot juice ( especially the half oj half carrot combo). The waffles are nice and crispy and i really like the corned beef hash thats made in house! I've yet to order something i didn't like. the staff is super friendly and Im constantly impressed with how fast they get everything done when it's really busy on the weekend. including kitchen staff because food comes out pretty fast for the labor that goes into cooking it. this place is really cozy. would be the ideal place to catch up with friends or family or have a casual brunch date. lots of extra outdoor seating, which is phenomenal on a nice day.

Excellent spot for friends and family to grab a quick bite. Indoor and outdoor seating that moves…read morefairly quickly. Friendly and casual upbeat vibes all around from patrons and staff. I like how many options there are ranging from breakfast to lunch items that are well balanced. Order and pay at the counter by the entrance and they'll give you a table # and assign you a table. Food arrived within 10 minutes. I usually get a sandwich combo. BLT has a generous amount of bacon, and the Tuna melt is pretty loaded and so tasty. The sides are fries (can upgrade to sweet potatoes fries etc for $) and comes with a house salad. A place I'd definitely come back to.
