    almond milk cappuccino and homemade vegan twix bar
    Emily C.

    Cute little spot right by the beach in Half Moon Bay. It was pretty crowded (we went on a Saturday morning) but still had pretty good seating options both inside and out. I ordered an almond milk cappuccino (yum) and their homemade vegan Twix bar. (a little $ but VERY yum)

    Granola's Coffee is a great spot to kick back and have a nice breakfast. Love the cozy vibe of this place. It can get very busy on the weekends. Parking can be hit or miss. The baked goods I've tried have been really good! The Ham and Cheese Croissant was FIRE! The strawberry and blueberry scone was also really good. I liked that it wasn't dry. The coffee here is okay. I appreciate their creative menu and rotating specials. My friend ordered the mocha, and it was 50% foam and 50% drink. Overall, I think the food is their strong suit compared to the coffee.

    Great little coffee shop with small bites located right off Cabrillo Hwy! Love the cozy ambiance with plenty of seating and friendly staff. Nice place to stop for a boost of morning caffeine before heading off to the farms with the kiddos!

    I liked the english muffin i ordered. Coffee was okay, but nothing special. The place was cute and service was quick.

    Ordered an iced matcha with vanilla syrup. Super yummy and refreshing. Also ordered the class breakfast sandwhich with bacon on an Asiago bagel. Also pictured is the iced blackberry chai and gluten free muffin which were both well enjoyed. Quick and kind service. And beautiful location very well decorated. So cozy a great place for a foggy half moon bay morning.

    Great ambiance, very cozy. Great bagels-- I had the lox bagel and really good matcha shockingly in my opinion. I asked for it sweetened with vanilla. It's a cute tucked away spot in HMB!

    Polite and helpful staff. Great flavorful food and beverages. We were in the area for several days and went here a few times. Nice seating area.

    Whenever I'm craving for a really good breakfast sandwich, I would drive to Granola's all the way from San Jose just to get The Works with Bacon, and avocado on a bagel. It's freshly made after ordering and tastes great when hot. The interior of the coffee house is simple but really sweet. There's cute little elephants all over the place, and nice wooden tables and chairs. There's also outdoor seating for when the weather is a bit warmer (or not, up to you). Their single restroom is spacious and always very clean which is a plus for me.

    Sesame Bagel English muffin egg and cheese.

    The Food was great! Each morning we were helped right away with no line. The friendly cashier was ready for our order two days in a row. The ambiance was nice with a few different corners indoors to study, eat, catch up with a friend or family. There's also plenty of seating outside to enjoy the pacific air. Me and my wife each had a breakfast sando one on sesame bagel one on house English muffin and chai tea lattes. Great spot!

    Stumbled upon this cute little coffee shop on a work visit around the area. Very nice and quiet environment with lots of seating area. Perfect for doing work or for small coffee chats! Caramel Honey Latte: 5/5 This was delicious! I wasn't sure which to get but was recommended this drink by the baristas and it was an excellent choice. Just the right amount of sweetness for me! I love the decors inside and outside of the store. Very minimal but cute! Love the tiny pumpkins they had during Halloween time.

    We made a pitstop here before heading to the pumpkin patch (which ended up being walking distance to Farmer John's Pumpkin Patch). It was a cute little coffee shop! They had indoor and outdoor seating, which was great because we had doggos with us. I got a Lavender Latte and a veggie bagel sandwich. The veggies in the bagel were crisp and fresh and absolutely delicious. The Lavender Latte didn't have an overwhelming Lavender flavor which was perfect! I wish I would've saw the menu on the wall because it seemed like there were other drink and food options compared to their paper menu. It kinda blended in with all the cool decor they had (or maybe I just wasn't being too observant). But it gave me more than enough reason to come back! As for service, it was ehh. The girl at the cashier seemed like she didn't want to be there. Other customer's drinks and food came out in a timely matter, but my latte was forgotten about. I had to go up to them to ask about it. But, you know, balance. Either way, I'd rather stop here for coffee and a quick eat in HMB instead of Starbucks.

    Entry way. The space is cozy!

    Meh- high cost coffee and not much else. I don't get the vibe here. I tried some sort of banana bread and it was very dry and crumbly. For two drinks and the bread it was over $20 dollars. Not my idea of a great quality value. I would have been more impressed had the product met expectations.

    Great find in Half Moon Bay! Super cute place with cozy rustic vibe. Service was excellent and my Americano hot and strong. They make all kinds of breakfast and sandwiches.

    I love these!

    Expensive, but great coffee and GF scones. Good vibe. The GF scones were the best we've ever had.

    Very cute and homey vibes but the coffee sucked, it was a small group of us and no one really enjoyed our drinks.

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. The staff were very friendly and the food was really good. Everything tasted very fresh and not too heavy.

    After an early morning flight and rental car pickup, Moonside Bakery was just what we needed. It…read morewas a perfect light breakfast stop in Half Moon Bay. The bakery case had so many tempting options, and the staff was prompt and friendly. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant, which came out warm, flaky, and genuinely yummy. Simple, fresh, and exactly right after a long travel morning. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in Half Moon Bay and need coffee, pastries, or a quick breakfast bite.

    This bakery is located on the very cute historic downtown Main Street of Half Moon Bay. While it…read morehas a great location, the food and beverages have been very hit or miss, and I've stopped in a very decent amount. The good: We have special ordered their fruit cheesecake at least 5+ times for birthdays, and it doesn't disappoint. The raspberry half moon cookies were a tender shortbread texture and yummy filling, and I would purchase again. The disappointing: The fruit tart, however, was almost no custard and instead just a thick layer of frangipane which detracted from the freshness of the dessert. The crust was bland--tasted like eating straight flour, no butteriness or anything. Italian sodas are all ice, then commercial syrups at a too sweet ratio. Peanut butter cookies and butter cookies lacked flavor but were okay. The terrible: Why I finally wrote a review: Moonside has a stack of chocolate chip cookies in one of their pastry cases. They look beautiful! Packed with chocolate chips, golden and glistening like the perfect chewy, slightly underbaked cookie. We bought two! And they were the WORST chocolate chip cookies I have ever encountered. I ended up spitting out my second bite and just throwing them away--not even dipping them in coffee or tea could salvage the experience. I don't know WHY they look shiny and doughy--maybe an egg wash, though why would you egg wash cookies????--but they are dry as a bone. Not crispy, not crunchy--horribly textured, DRY. There's no butteriness, no hint of salt, no carmelization from brown sugar, nothing to give this cookie flavor in the least except the chocolate. And the chocolate was horrible--bitter and waxy, dried out and cheap tasting. A chips ahoy cookie would have been better. I don't know if I'll ever buy another cookie here--this was rough.
