This cafe has a laidback vibe -- a converted garage with a mobile coffee truck inside with seating and vinyl records playing. I ordered the Kali Mocha with oat milk, it was rich, not too sweet, and foamy. They have some merch available like sweatshirts, and other small trinkets. Service was pleasant and the clientele was a mixed crowd but all very relaxed. Their pastries were sold out but I would come back to try them.

Nice and cozy coffee spot in Pacifica. The service was pretty good. I tried their Banana latte and I loved it! I loved that they partner with different local bakeries for their pastries. I can't wait to come back again!

A Pacifica GEM, my go to coffee spot for consistent taste and feel. The team is always so lovely to see when visiting. Absolutely love the heated benches and casual sit down feel. And not to mention I love the pop up weekend events they host!!

I love having Craftsman Coffee by my house. Whenever I don't feel like making my own coffee at home, or I simply would like to try something new, I go there. It is such a cute spot and their coffee is fresh and delicious. I also really like their beans.

Craftsman Coffee is a cute little coffee shop located at 1750 Francisco Blvd in Pacifica, CA. They have a modest selection of coffee and tea. I had a Tea Black Earl Latte. And it was really good. Drinks were fairly priced. Staff were cordial. Atmosphere was relaxing and they have a pac-man arcade. Overall, it's a nice coffee shop.

Cool little spot for a coffee fix before seeing the majestic coast. It looks like a cozy converted garage with a cute food truck vibe inside. Relaxing music and quiet atmosphere. I got the salted honey rosemary iced latte. It tastes pretty good but it only had 2 ice cubes in it so it wasn't that cold. It tastes just as the description. Salted, slightly sweet, creamy with a delicious coffee taste. FYI. There is no bathroom here so be prepared for that. Service is fast and coffee came out quickly.

Loved everything about this cute coffee shop! We got an iced banana latte and a hot banana latte- both delicious and the barista was friendly. Obsessed with the concept of a coffee shop in a garage, and loved the vibe of the whole place/the decorations. Will definitely be back!

What a fun spot to stop for some lovely caffeinated beverages! I loved the vibes here and the fun "beach garage" inspired decor, including a full size truck as the serving counter. We ordered and waited only a few moments for our hot cups of goodness to warm us up on a cold and foggy beach morning. The staff was very nice and offered other local recs for the area, too. The coffee here was great and they serve locally made pastries in the mornings. I loved the coconut cream tea latte. Very unique and I was quite surprised how much I liked it. Killer vibes and great beverages- though on the pricier side for the area! Enjoy!

Matcha oatmilk

Unique spot with a comfy ambiance & good drinks. It is not dog friendly in the sense that you cannot bring your dog in with you to order - you'll need to have them stay outside - keep that in mind if you're on a solo walk with your doggy. I've visited a few times and have mostly tried oatmilk matchas and lattes. All times my drinks taste good & the service is friendly and quick. They have a few tables and seating area inside and a small area where they small artisan items and gift cards for their cafe. To me it's a bit pricey. They prefer cash - I spend a little over $7.50 for a single 10oz drink each time I come and pay with card. Overall, I think it's definitely worth checking out when in Pacifica.

I really wanted to gatekeep this place. I'm sorry Soul Grind, you'll always be my original bestie and you're still amazing, but I've officially found my new favorite coffee spot in Pacifica. I honestly don't even remember how I came across Craftsman Coffee. I think it only had two reviews when I found it and I was like wait what is this hidden gem I've never heard of. So I made the drive and wow. It's tucked inside what looks like a warehouse, and they serve out of this adorable little truck setup inside. Super lowkey, super cool, and just good vibes all around. Let me tell you something - LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING . You have to get the pastries. I don't care what diet you're on. Don't think, just do it. I had this cream rhubarb thing that I don't even fully understand but it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The strawberry pastry, the chocolate twist--every single one was fire. Pair that with a simple oat milk latte and I'm literally holding back tears. That combo is peace. I also tried the strawberry matcha and it's a solid 4.9 out of 5. Refreshing, balanced, and just enough sweetness. What really makes this place even better is the energy. They have heated benches. Yes, heated benches that you can adjust yourself. You can curl up with a book, sip your drink, and just melt into the moment. There's also a Pac-Man machine and a bunch of cute, quirky little things you can buy around the space. It's got charm and personality without trying too hard. From the vibe to the drinks to the pastries that live in my dreams, this place is something special and I'll keep choosing it again and again. 5.1/5

Chocolate croissant, banana latte, caramel cold brew
Bella C.

I was looking for spots in Pacifica for some coffee and came across this place. It had good reviews and 4 1/2 stars so we gave it a try. It's very modern inside with a good ambiance but that's the only excitable part of our experience here. I ordered a banana latte and my boyfriend ordered a caramel cold brew. The girl at the register goes "We have one pastry left, would you guys like to take it" and we took it as "it's on the house" especially since we didn't mention getting any food and it was indeed the last one. So we ended up getting charged for the 2 drinks and chocolate croissant. We get our drinks and immediately looking at my boyfriend's cold brew I knew it looked off. It looked super watery, but we gave it a shot. His cold brew was as it looked, watery with no taste of caramel or coffee. My latte tasted so burnt and watery as well, I couldn't bare the taste. We both ended up throwing away our drinks and had no faith in them remaking it, since both the latte and cold brew was a disappointment.

Visited Craftsman Coffee this morning as I wanted to explore a new coffee shop. The interior decor of the coffee car captured my attention and the aesthetics of this coffee shop did not disappoint. Craftsman Coffee is beautifully decorated with plants, records, a fun color palette, and retro items. This is definitely an "Instagram-worthy" spot. I ordered at the coffee cart inside. The menu is on the left wall. I always am interested in trying a monthly special, so I went for the banana latte. The owner, Judy, rang my up at the counter. Judy let me know there were some fresh pastries available including an apple crumble and a chocolate croissant. Though I wasn't sure of the price (I believe pastries are listed as market price on the menu), I really wanted to try a pastry. The banana latte was $8 and the pastry was $7. I do think the price is a bit high, especially for the size of the latte compared to other coffee shops, but I had a good experience overall. You could tell Judy was thoughtful as she took my name for the coffee order and confirmed the spelling of my name which was nice. The banana latte tasted delicious! The banana flavor is not overpowering. The torched sugar banana isn't my personal favorite... I'd probably prefer just a few normal banana slices, but everyone is different and I believe the garnish is less important than the latte. I also loved the apple crumble pastry. Thank you for a nice visit!

2 iced lattes & a regular latte

The place was extremely adorable. The coffee truck inside a garage gave me movie vibes and I loved it. The gentleman helping us was quick and kind. And to top it off, the seats in the place were heated. And I loved it. Will update with more photos next time I go there.

Why is a 10 oz vanilla latte almost $9???!? Didn't even taste the espresso or vanilla, just straight up milk!

We recently moved to the coastal area between Half Moon Bay and Pacifica. Of course we have to try…read morethe local coffee scene. We're so happy that Soul Grind is here. A) it's a roaster... what's not to love? The freshness, the beach, and the coffee aroma cannot be beat. B) bought some whole bean to use at home ... did not disappoint.

This was my second visit to this casual cafe spot. I didn't write a review on my first visit…read morebecause it was a bit of a letdown. One, the customer in front of us took a long time deciding what to order and we missed the weekend brunch menu by 8 minutes. Two, the cashier gave us the wrong number card so the staff couldn't find us to deliver our food. And three, though this was a cafe style place, customer service was subpar. We decided to give it another try because there must be a reason why this place was always busy. Came a bit early this time. The line was long but was moving fairly fast. There is QR code for the menu so I'd say check it out while you wait in line for at least 20 minutes! It will help to expedite your ordering process once you get to the cashier. There's a good amount of seatings both indoors and outdoors. A good spot to leisurely enjoy your meal if you're not pressed for time. I have had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was very good. This time around had the Cubano (their specialty latte) which was smooth, balanced, and so good! I was able to order the Irish breakfast this time that was only offered on their weekend brunch menu and only until 2pm. We waited a while for our food. And when we finally did, it was not even warm. This was a bit disappointing! The saving grace were the roasted potatoes and sautéed mushrooms that came with my breakfast dish. They were very good. The side salad that accompanied the Lorraine quiche was also very good. I would come back to this cafe definitely for the Cubano, the Ube cream puff, and maybe try some other pastries. As for the breakfast... 67

I love Pacific Java Cafe! They're such a friendly, beautiful, tech savvy, & personable coffee shop…read more I cannot recommend them highly enough. Food & drinks are pretty good, they've raised their prices since changing ownership, which is a bummer, but hey I get it. Prices are rising all over the place. Keep up the awesome work & retain your awesome staff, specifically Christopher. He has a very uplifting presence in your cafe & is sure to bring in repeat customers with his charisma & acute memory for details. It's a cozy little spot with beautiful artwork of the coast painted by Pam Anderberg around the place. It has a beautiful natural lighting via the sky light & the outside bike parking area is nice! They always have water for the refills when I would swing by here on bicycle rides. Sometimes parking is tight, as in not a lot of availablilty of spots. But even then it's worth the short walk. Excellent HWY 1 cafe within this small outdoor shopping center area. Cheers

Loved that this place is super walkable from the hotel we stayed at, which made it an easy stop…read more When you walk in, it has a nice open layout and even an upstairs area so it feels a bit more spacious than your typical coffee spot. 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!

Their baguettes were great and their Irish Soda Bread was surprisingly delicious! I saw this place pop up on Check Please Bay Area and decided to give this place a shot while I was around in the Pacifica Area. I was genuinely surprised it was located in an old outlet/plaza and felt slightly out of place vs all the other older shops but after stopping by here, I can definitely say it was like a gem in the rough that was well worth the visit. The wait time here was a bit long at around 10 in the morning but oddly the line died down quite quickly at around 11 onwards, so it seems like the wait time can fluctuate throughout the day. Decided to order a few sweet pastries, pizza, and baguettes and after trying a bit of each one, they were all great in quality and freshly made. It was also my first time trying an Irish Soda bread and I have to say it was like a very dense pound cake with dried fruit inside and thoroughly enjoyed it! All the staff here were very friendly and felt very welcoming to enjoy a brief stay here for my baked goods and coffee (coffee was also great quality too). If I'm ever back in Pacifica for whatever reason, I can definitely see myself making a bit of a drive to stop by here for more. Check Please Bay Area wasn't wrong and I'll also give my recommendation as well for others to give this place a shot too.

Such a gem in Pacifica!!!! You can't miss it. It's right off the highway from Pacifica to Half Moon…read moreBay. I've been wanting to try and am grateful we did! 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 :)

I always feel bad leaving lower reviews, but this one did not meet any of our expectations (there…read morewere 5 of us). 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.
