    Outdoor dining, Cafe Pacifica
    Deborah W.

    This is one of our "go-tos" in town, for breakfast and lunch. Delicious food, great service. The morning bagel, breakfast burritos and croissants are our favorites. Wraps and sandwiches include the "Jive Turkey Sandwich" and "Gangsta Wrap", plus bacon cheeseburgers and fish & chips. The indoor dining area is small, outdoor good for 4 tables. You can also order food to go.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    Amazing breakfast/brunch food and coffee located in picturesque Pacifica…read more My friend and I went for brunch and I was impressed. I got the Beach Breakfast with a side of bacon while my friend got the avocado and bacon toast. The portion sizes were great! The pancakes were soooo fluffy and warm, delicious! The scrambled eggs had a good texture and the sausage was fantastic- they had a sweet marinade and smokey finish which complimented everything else. The bacon was the perfect chewy:crisp ratio. The avocado and bacon toast was massive and my friends really enjoyed it. The service was quick, especially given how big it is. We sat outside, which included an expansive amount of seating. It was nice walking alongside the beach after- amazing vibes!

    I really loved this place!…read more Came for a weekend away and walked by this little gem. It's a super cute little coffee shop that has some adorable vintage decorations. They even have some toys for the kids to play... I love a kid friendly place! We ordered several coffees including a drip, zebra latte, lavender latte and toasted Marshmallow one, a Mexican coffee and even a hot chocolate for the kiddos (sorry I forgot the actual names of the drinks lol). seriously all of them tastes amazing!!!! Great quality coffee!! We even ordered some breakfast sandwiches (those are just decent) but the apple fritter was delicious! Also the prices are extremely fair! The guy behind the register was maybe one of the friendliest workers I talked too that entire weekend in Pacifica. Great kid, super personable!

It looked like there was just one person handling both the cashier and drink orders, but he managed everything really smoothly. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and honey and when he finished it, he realized he accidentally made it with vanilla syrup instead. Without hesitation, he remade it right away and even offered me the first one for free, which I thought was really kind and showed great customer service. The matcha itself was decent but it wasn't nothing mind blowing but definitely good enough to enjoy and sip on. It had a nice balance and wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. What really stood out more than anything was the service. The guy was friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive, which made the experience better overall. If you're looking for a quick matcha fix in a convenient location with solid service, this is a good spot to check out!

I didn't get a chance to take a look at any photos before leaving, but I wish I did so I could set my expectations. - PARKING - We got a spot right in front of the shop, otherwise there are adjacent streets for more parking. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Really cute and cozy shop. There are sofas and chairs inside with some neat artwork. They have two menu boards set up next to the coffee cart, as well as some special drinks posted on the cart itself. They only have 2 people working in the cart, so it did take a little bit for our drinks to come out. - DRINKS - Blueberry Latte (~$9): The size immediately caught me off guard. It was much smaller than I expected, and after looking at it closer, the two large whiskey ice cubes took up 20% of the cup, meaning I had even less liquid. The blueberrry syrup/jam/sauce was stuck on the bottom, so I couldn't taste it until I got to the end. - OVERALL - I'm always looking to support local and small businesses, but the price you pay for what you get here is disappointing.

    EDIT: Matthew & I emailed - updating my review. Thanks Matthew…read more A little bummed cause we come here all the time when we are in town! Love the cinnamon rolls & the pizza. I REALLY wanted to try the hot dog danish. I got up early & walked there so I could work off some calories for the 4th of July weekend lol. Got there around 7:03 (they open at 7) Looked in the case & didn't see the hot dog danish so I asked the young lady if they're out & she didn't know what I was talking about. Apparently she had no idea about the hot dog danish - so I stepped outside and called my husband and look on their IG to see if I was in the right place. Both confirmed I was - then I walked back in and she looked confused still & said they will probably be out later at lunch with the pizza - so I told her I'd walk back around 11-12. So I'm on my phone 3 hours later around 10am and I see the Hot Dog danish is sold out. extremely bummed over here. I literally could not stop talking about this danish to my husband then for it to be sold out before she said they would be set out - Really wish the young lady knew more about what was being served on 4th of July as she was clueless.

    I got 2 sandwiches here, the turkey and the Italian hoagie, and it was an execution in KISS*…read more   Open interior, bright and airy, always music. Typical cafe with sandwich situation. If they're busy, they might forget to call your name and you'll need to go get the food yourself, which is frankly impossible to fathom when you come from San Francisco. But Pacifica is different, y'know?   Anyway.  ------------------------------ First, the turkey sandwich. 5/5 I'm guilty of expecting the meat to be the focus on a sandwich, but in this case the turkey was the filler, which, as a carnivore, is there a better meat filler? Bread, dijon, lettuce, turkey, queso. The dijon did for flavor what the lettuce did for texture, throwing in a twang that kept the sandwich interesting. Its creaminess tag-teamed with the cheese to keep the sandwich in one piece. Great sidekicks. The turkey was... Nothing special. Clean but mundane, for the star of the show was the bread.    Some of you might roll your eyes.  No shiet, Sherlock.  THIS. IS.  A bakery.   Cuz some of you might roll your eyes.  It's just bread.    But this isn't wonder-bread. It's dense. It's got a chew.   The sourdough is minimally sour, hearty, with a thick, hard crust, and made matrimony with the turkey. A lil bit of salt, the slightest tang, tango-ing into a single texture. Those of us who've had an egg sando in Japan understand how the softness of the egg salad made the softness of the bread fundamental. The turkey here wasn't slipping anywhere, though it complimented the meatiness of the bread. This, sandwich, needs, teeth.    I hope you weren't expecting to eat turkey without teeth. Perhaps that's tofurkey you're thinking about.   The crust was hard too. A well supported, almost crunchy hardness, and a far cry from the st-ale pork rind that the free bread in Mont-real would remind you of. I ended up turning the sandwich sideway as if I was enjoying a taco.   The best panera you'll get and a supreme sleeper.   ------------------------------ The second sandwich: 4/5 The sesame studded hoagie, on the other hand, was nothing short of Guns N' Roses. This sub had a KISS of intensity from the seared meats, a KISS of spice from the mayo and capocollo, a KISS of sharpness from the provolone, and a single leaf of romaine to give that little crunch and freshness, so you can tell your mom that you ate your veggies. There's going to be a rock concert in your mouth. With each element in a bit to prove their existence, it ended up being too intense for us. With these all being strong flavors, it's amazing that you could still taste everything. And they work well together. It's just that your taste buds will send an SOS, walking out of a Black Sabbath concert feeling a bit drained, like Spongebob breaking down after working the tables at Squidward's five star restaurant. The crustiness of the roll, the studded texture of the sesame, the meat escarpment slipping out, you will have no more desire for thee. Water. Something to cleanse the mouth.   If you're one of those among us who gets sweet emotions eating curry without naan or rice, this could be your bad medicine.   * Keep it simple, stupid.

Highly y recommending you book beforehand as the place fills up fast. Once you booked, you pre-pay for everything and just come and enjoy your tea on the day of. This place is so cute! It's located near Rockaway beach, a nice area in Pacifica. There are ample parkings in the back of the store. From outside vibes to the indoor decorations with all the tea sets and cute little tables and small mirrors and trinkets on the walls. It reminded me of Bridgeton and Victoria time. I could spend an entire afternoon here looking at all the cute tea set. Because we had our puppy with us, we opted for an outdoor seating which was equally as nice! Large white-and-yellow-striped umbrellas gave us some needed shades as it was a sunny day. Our table was covered with cute table cloth and everything looks neat and clean. We were started with teas first, and each of us got to pick our own tea. My sis picked the Lychee Rose Green as I had my eyes on the Dragon well. Our teas came out fast and were quickly followed by the yummy high tea display. Starting from the bottom, we had Cucumber with Dill Cream Cheese Chicken, Apple, Walnut, Cranberry Salad Cream Cheese with Guava Jam, Pastrami with Cabbage Salad. This was followed by a warm Scone with Clotted Cream & Jam; a toasted Crumpet with butter & Lemon Curd; and a selection from their Sweet Tray! Everything was so delicious and paired so well with our selections of teas! The service was attentive as well as they checked on us frequently and refilled our tea pots when needed. We had a wonderful time here, slowing down and enjoying the smaller things in life :)

Maybe we expected more since we really enjoyed Lovejoy's the last couple times we went there (I believe they share the same owner, but I may be mistaken). While we give the buttery and fragrant scones very high marks, and the salad and the crumpets were ok, the sandwiches and desserts were not great. The bread was dry and the filling was skimpy compared to many other high teas we have tried, and the petit fours were plain and seemed store-bought. The crumpets came after the desserts because they forgot to serve them to us (not a big deal and they were very apologetic). For the price, we expected more than one tiny item from the dessert tray. The teas were all lovely, but they were out of their Pacifica Blue tea which we were specifically looking forward to trying. This is the 12th tea service we have tried in the past couple years, and we find that we prefer teas that include an assortment of more deluxe dessert items (like SIP or Rotunda in SF), and sandwiches that are made with a variety of breads such as rolls or mini croissants along with the traditional sliced bread, and with more generous filling.
