    Visited for an afternoon snack after hiking at Purisima Creek with friend. Purchased at counter then sit in the back to relax and unwind. There were lots of baked goods to choose from. These are what I ordered. Huge cup of coffee Hungarian cheese cake has top half cheesecake, some fruits then shortbread. It was Okay. Hazelnut Rings - shortbread with whole hazelnuts and dark chocolate. This was really good cuz I love nuts and chocolate.

    Delicious bakery items and lattes. 4/5 stars because that's what I mainly came for. My husband & I visited on a Saturday morning and the line was out the door but the wait wasn't bad (less than 10 minutes). We ordered danishes, a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. Delicious pastries & the vanilla latte was perfect. The breakfast sandwich was a let down. It was basic and it took 20 minutes to come out. The folx sitting down looked to have yummy food so it may just be the item I ordered. I recommend visiting and supporting especially if you love baked goods!

    Well what can I say! Moonside Bakery & Cafe has been around for years. I am 30 years old and I would go to Moonside Bakery since I was a little girl! Half Moon Bay has delicious food options but Moonside Bakery & Cafe by far is my favorite! They have tons of options to choose from! If you are looking for a hardy breakfast or a delicious lunch this is the place to go to! OMG!! Don't forget about the delicious desserts!!! My favorite is the raspberry thumb print cookies and the half moon dark chocolate apricot filled dessert! Wait don't forget your latter paired with the deliciously soft and sweet dessert! Trust me you won't be disappointed! Thank you Moonside Bakery & Cafe for being such a nostalgic place for me and keeping your flavors rich! The service is always great! Kind staff and welcoming ambiance! My family loves it and now my husband does to! I am happy to have been able to share this experience with my husband that I have experienced since I was a little girl! Blessings!

    We stayed at the mill rose house and as a perk we got free breakfast for two at this restaurant each day. We ate here twice, both meals were spectacular, outdoor seating on sunny mornings is lovely. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves but if you are looking for breakfast and not interested in a diner this is a great spot right on Main Street.

    The ambience is cozy, charming, and totally Instagram-worthy. The desserts are creative and unique, while the in-house whipped cream is absolutely delicious. Coffee is sourced from outside but still enjoyable. Parking is limited to street parking, so plan accordingly.

    Blueberry muffin

    Located in Downtown Half moon Bay, this is a great local bakery. Shared indoor seating area, excellent selection of cookies, muffins, cakes and desserts. I love their huge blueberry muffins and half moon bay shaped cookies!

    Key lime tart
    Briana V.

    I was able to go to this bakery in half one day and get some sweet treats. I got the lemon tart and Edna cookies. The tart was cooked perfectly and had great Keylime flavor. My only suggestion is that I would love the crust to be a little bit thinner and more filling added. The Edna cookies tasted like fall pumpkin spice cookies with a maple glaze on top and raisins and almond stirred in. They do have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to sweet desserts. I also believe that they have a food menu, but didn't happen to check out the food.

    At first I was overwhelmed. There was so many goodies and a lot of people ahead of us, but staff was super friendly and helpful and answered questions about certain items I was wanting more information on. In the end we opted for about 5-6 different cookie, pastries, muffin and flatbread for later. All of them were great and came in handy late at night in the hotel room when we were craving something sweet.

    Pastry and iced tea
    Francie M.

    I gotta try something from most bakeries I pass. I ordered this pastry that I had never seen before - it was a piped shortbread half circle, filled with almond orange jam, and dipped in chocolate. Unique and tasty! The iced tea was fine, not too bitter or too soapy. My friend ordered a cappuccino and a pecan biscotti which tasted very freshly made. Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - street parking nearby (check for 2 hour limit signs, apparently they're strict!)

    One word Delicious!!!
    Gema B.

    Let's start with the amazing welcome from the staff!!! Angel and team are so wonderful! Love the location it's indoor and outdoor seating great if you have pup family as well! Love the set up outside for a great lunch time! Food is delicious I had the fresh baked mini pizza!! Over all 5 star!! Looking forward to my next visit!

    Orange Almond cookie
    Kelly M.

    We stopped here after a hike for a snack. I was delighted to see the orange almond cookies, as I have never seen that variety of cookie before. It was delicious: chewy and a little crispy at the ends. My husband had a chocolate chip cookie and a hot chocolate and deemed both to be great. The service is efficient and friendly! I would definitely return here when I am back in the area.

    Great bakery, breakfast choices with well make lattes. Inside courtyard seating. Great service.

    I ordered breakfast, arriving just before a rush with a large group. I waited for 30 minutes, watching the large group being served and still waiting. I finally went up to the counter and they seemed to have no record of my order. They said they'd get it right out to me. 15 minutes went by, then 20. For an almost $25 breakfast for one, this was unacceptable. I always tip, even for counter service, and unfortunately I gave a generous tip before sitting down. When my food finally arrived, the server told me they had given my food to someone in the large party.

    Great coffee, even better pies!…read more Stumbled into Safe Bake House and I'm so glad I did. The coffee is excellent, smooth, well-pulled, and clearly made with care. But the real stars are the pies. Flaky crust, generous filling, and that homemade taste you just can't fake. There's a great little selection beyond the pies too, plenty of baked goods and treats to keep you coming back to try something new each visit. The unexpected bonus? They've got chess! Pulling up a board with a hot coffee and a pie is honestly the perfect way to spend an afternoon. It gives the place a cozy, lingering vibe where you actually want to stick around. Friendly spot, great quality, and a little something extra. Highly recommend!

We love us some Chicken Pot Pies. After a long beach day at Montera State Beach. We decided to check them out. I'm so glad we did. I Decided to get 3 OG Chicken Pot Pie , 1 Habanero Chicken Pot Pie, 1 Minced Beef N Chedder Pot Pie and 1 Shepperds Pot Pie. If you buy 5 you get 1 free pie. They sell them frozen. It comes with clear instructions to bake at home. So far we've only tried to OG and Habanero. It what AMAZING! it was meaty and packed with flavor! The Habanero Chicken Pot Pie was SPICY which I love! I mean it's Habanero it's supposed to be spicy. Although the Pot Pies are on the small side. Still very delicious. They also sell other food items, coffee and other beverages. We just came here for the Pot Pies. Workers was friendly and helpful! When we got here I see people seating outside already enjoying their meals and drinks. Sage Bakehouse is located right on Pacific Highway 1. Nice big black bold sign with white letters you can't miss it! We will definitely be back!

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.
