    previously frozen or refrigerated. Not worth getting.
    Michael L.

    Got a drip coffee, a $9 white mocha and a cherry danish. Coffee is decent but very expensive. The danish was previously frozen or in the fridge because it was very cold. Skip the pastries. not worth the calories and the high price.

    So glad we found this place! It is super cute! Very quaint. Definitely for on the go only as there is no place to sit. The coffee was excellent and pastries were wonderful. People were very nice too. We will be back!

    Friendly & quick service with a menu including hot cocoa, matcha & other teas. And of course dairy free milk options. Also some baked goods. Has a little seating area with lots of chairs and I think a parking lot (not sure if it's shared with Jettywave), but parking also on the street.

    Order window with the Drink Coffee Do Stuff beans in front

    Great spot for quick service coffee. Loved that they carry Drink Coffee Do Stuff beans. We came on a Saturday and the line was a little long. They got through the line pretty fast and everything was made quickly. I also loved the chairs and gas fire pits on the side. Will definitely be coming back. Only thing I would love to see next time are breakfast burritos :)

    amaaaazing coffee. they really know what they're doing here. i'm lil coffee snob, make my own espresso at home, grind my own beans, and never go out for coffee unless i'm far away from home. this place surpassed my expectations. a deep, complex flavor in the latte i had was a great start to my day and it gave me the motivation and energy to start my day. was driving from half moon bay to big sur, so i forsure needed some hype lol. also had a perfectly toasted bagel with cream cheese, it was delish. loooove it and will surely be back again next time i'm near half moon bay!

    Absolutely my favorite coffee place! Come to support your local business! Awesome coffee, baked goods and even dog treats! The service is friendly and happy . The ambiance is easy and peaceful. My super favorite is the cold brew on a hot sunny beach day!

    Walking north in Half Moon Bay toward Mavericks, it was the last coffee place I could find. And as luck would have it, it was great. Small place. It's built out of a couple of metal freight containers. They have a few nice coffee blends and all the basic drinks. Few yummy eats as well. I enjoyed the latte with oat milk. Comes with 4 shots, but you know, it wasn't overly strong. Tasted fantastic. And for a mid-morning snack, the locally made hummingbird bread. Fresh and homemade. See photo for label info. Service was ok. It worked but not that friendly. The best thing about Dawn Patrol is the seating area. A few little seat pockets, a few of them under a sturdily built, covered structure. And a gas-powered fire pit also. Quiet location.

    You can tell this is a local favorite. I think if you're really craving a coffee and want to support locally this is a pretty cute spot. There is even some seating they share with the jetty distillery. The service was great. But i think this is a one time stop for me. Got a peppermint mocha and hot chocolate. If anything just order yourself a black coffee and add cream and sugar as you like. I think black coffee and espresso are the star drinks.

    Arrive around dawn and be treated with a cozy setting

    Stopped by again for coffee and breakfast again while staying at the Oceano Resort nearby. Was met with a friendly smile, prompt service, and delicious cold brew coffee! It was mid September, and it was lightly cool outside. Put on a light jacket for the walk to Dawn Patrol and enjoyed the scenery. The cold brew was delicious and smooth, and the almond sweet roll hit the spot!

    While in half Moon Bay we stopped in here for some warm beverages on a "cold" California winter morning. The team behind the counter greeted us cheerfully and they were so nice and warm, just like the beverages they made! I was impressed with their selections for a spot so small- and opted for a hazelnut steamer with oat milk, while hubby ordered a cup of light roast. While waiting for our orders, we snuggled on the dog across the street that I'm pretty sure needs to be their official greeter dog. Of course her name is Luna. I cannot with how cute that dog was. Our drinks were done in a flash and we were both happy with how the drinks turned out. Parking on the street and in the lot behind was convenient and we only had issues getting to them and out of the area with the through traffic. Overall a very positive experience and we would definitely return on a future trip out here.

Relaxed interior and decorated with local artwork, old photographs, antique signage, and global travel pictures. Plenty of seating inside and outside to relax with your 4-legged kids.

If you visit on a weekend, be prepared for longer lines. (Pro tip: visit on a weekday ). They even have Live Jazz performances Friday nights, year-round, from 7 - 9 PM! While you're waiting to order or pick up your goodies, make sure to enjoy the local artwork adorning their walls. Wander a little further to the back room, where there's a piano and extra seating... Veer toward your left - back towards the bathroom - and you'll be delighted with the funky, unconventional architecture and design while you take care of business. Expecting a trendy, minimalist coffee shop with too-cool-for school hipster vibes? You'll not find that here... just good coffee, yummy bites to eat, and a taste of local charm in HMB.

I really liked the pickled onion and the choice of white cheddar. I'd say overall it wasn't as greasy as a full burger which I really appreciated! - Mushroom sandwich: out of the 2 sandwiches this one was my favorite! The Maitake mushrooms were very tender and flavorful! - Homemade Potato chips: staff told us that this tends to sell out before the end of the day, but we were lucky enough to get an order of them and they were very very good! The addition of nutritional yeast in the seasoning added a lot of great to the chips! - Herb salad: super refreshing salad, this salad is made with all herbs and the lemon dressing that they used was very light and refreshing, which I think balanced out the rest of the meal! ~overall~ I definitely recommend dad's luncheonette for a quick bite.
