    Before heading to the beach, my brother and I made a quick coffee stop at Craftsman Coffee since it was conveniently along the way. The ambiance and overall vibe were really nice and perfect for a relaxing coffee break. We ordered the Hazelnut Latte and Banana Latte, and both drinks tasted great. However, for the price, the cup sizes felt a bit small and the drinks had a little too much foam for our liking. Still, it was a nice experience, though we eventually ended up stopping by another coffee shop for a second round of coffee.

    Awesome spot for high quality matcha! I don't like my matcha too sweet and so I asked for less blueberry syrup - they respected that request and the drink turned out perfectly. The drink went perfectly with the Japanese pancake and gyoza pop up nearby. Love the vibes!

    Craftsman Coffee is located in a warehouse that is nicely decorated and very welcoming! Street parking only. Service: Not even a hello from the lady making drinks but the guy at the cashier was nice enough. Drinks: $18 something for two 10oz lattes. Now, I wouldn't have minded the price if the drinks were good but they weren't. Lavender + vanilla lattes - Both tasted super watered down and lacked creaminess, even with whole milk. We would love to support smaller businesses but if they're charging way more for smaller sizes and subpar drinks... hard to make us come back for more.

    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.

    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 discovered Craftsman Coffee on Yelp and Tiktok, and had the opportunity to visit on a Sunday afternoon! It's close to home for me, so I'm happy I can visit this place as often as I can! The inside is aesthetic with the shop operating from a truck in a garage/warehouse. I think that's cool because they can use the truck for events with a minimal setup. The seats they provide for the shop are heated too! That was surprising to discover especially since it gets cold in Pacifica. There's plenty of room to sit and just relax or work remotely. I ordered a Lavender Latte while my boyfriend ordered a Gingersnap Latte. Both were so warm, fresh, and delicious. Very quality craft coffee. They also sell some items from small businesses, I love that support! Would definitely take my friends here to visit and also whenever I need a coffee for the day

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

My wife got the super burrito and I decided on the super quesadilla. There was about 3-4 people in front of me waiting for food. Waited for about 5 minutes before I got my food. After the drive home, my food was still hot as if it was just served. Chips still crunchy and salsa still chilled. My super quesadilla had really good taste and flavor, but the portion for me just didn't do it. Looked small, felt small and weighted much less compared to my wife's super burrito. The outside slices held together but the middle slices fell apart fast despite using Dos manos (two hands). Basically same price as the super burrito but less food. The super burrito however, this is one of the better tasting burrito's I've had. Cheesy, flexible but crunchy tortilla, flavorful carne asada. Freshness from the pico de gallo, slight kick from the salsa. Overall just a really good burrito. Highly recommend. I definitely will try other things on their menu next time. The question I always ask myself after trying a new place is "would I come back here?". For the super quesadilla, no. For the burrito and to try other things, definitely.

Some of the hot dishes can take a bit longer, but it's clearly freshly fried and always delicious so it's worth the minor wait. Lots of picnic benches in front of the food truck. Chicharron is chunks of crispy fried pork belly - great when you want some fatty porky indulgence. The red onions pair perfectly to cut through the richness, and the Peruvian corn nuts are a fun addition! Pollo Peruana is stewed chicken thighs. Tender and fell off the bone, but could've used a bit more salt. Still tasty with a nice side salad. Lechonada peruana is stewed pork belly chunks. Fatty juicy tender, and the pork comes on a bed of saucy fries for extra heft. I like to get it with extra salad instead of rice. Super good. I really need to come by on a weekend to try the anticuchos!

Open air, a mix of food trucks, people hanging out, dogs everywhere, and that easy San Francisco energy where you can show up however you are and it fits. It never feels like a production, just a good place to land. We have eaten our way through a decent chunk of the trucks at this point, and that is half the fun. One day it is something messy and indulgent, the next it is lighter, but it always hits. Grabbing a drink, finding a spot at the picnic tables, and slowly settling in as the place fills up is kind of the rhythm. It is social without being overwhelming, lively without being chaotic.

This also means a good variety for folks with different dietary needs, because they are mostly picking their own food. I have always enjoyed my time here, whether it's on company dime or if I'm just hanging out with friends. I do wish that there are more heaters around for the colder days but that's just life in the bay! It can be kind of cold and foggy all seasons here, so if you have a solid group of folks I'd recommend reserving a spot with a fire pit. One more note: parking can be tough. You either have to circle around for street parking, or rideshare here.

It's a hidden gem for sure, and as you can tell from my photos, it's pretty much my #1 choice whenever I see them at a food truck gathering. It's a good and bad thing that they're not well known (good because there is no line or very fast wait, bad because they definitely deserve everyone's business). I've gone to them so much that they recognize me, since I tend to follow them wherever they go, even if it's at a random school fair, haha. Lately, I haven't been eating out but I do miss them. Low key they serve the best lobster rolls in the bay, with the best price. They know how to butter and grill the fluffy fresh bread so well, and they always have the perfect drawn butter ready. It's so great with their addictive skinny fries - even better if they're garlic fries. Their garlic is very freshly minced, and they bathe you in that garlic. They only do the lobster rolls once in a while, though. They always have a rotating special menu that I like to try, but they also have a solid standard menu. On their standard menu, I love their grilled fresh crab and shrimp sandwich, which is a nice substitute for lobster; it's also buttery, creamy, grilled perfectly, and filled with fresh sweet seafood. Just writing about their food makes me salivate. They've missed a couple of times with me - mostly on their Asian items, fried appetizers, and desserts. But if they're doing meat, seafood, sandwiches, or pasta (basically American or Italian), I'm all in there. Their lobster ravioli is way better than Costco or Trader Joe's, and probably on par with some upscale restaurants out here. You can even request slight modifications to your food and they'll get it done. They also have a regular catering business and offer pick up orders (usually with a 4 person minimum) for holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. While I enjoy my no wait time at Dominic's, I'll spread the word because I just have a good day any time I get to enjoy their food.

Most of the crowd was centered near the front of the park where the band was playing, but I decided to wander all the way to the end. That's where I found Dominic's, a sleek all-black food truck that immediately stood out. Their menu listed steak nachos, but I asked if they could make steak asada fries instead -- and without hesitation, they said yes. That alone told me a lot about their hospitality and flexibility. And let me tell you, those fries were absolutely delicious: juicy, tender steak packed with flavor, layered perfectly over the fries. To top it off, the guys surprised me with complimentary mini cannolis, which made the whole experience even sweeter. While most people stayed near the busier area up front, I encourage anyone visiting these events to walk the entire park and check out all the trucks -- you never know where the hidden gems are waiting. Dominic's is one of them. Yes, prices lean a little higher, but the quality, flavors, and service make it more than worth it. Thank you, Dominic's, for a fantastic meal and a happy tummy! Highly recommend.
