I love Pacific Java Cafe! They're such a friendly, beautiful, tech savvy, & personable coffee shop. 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 read more

Loved that this place is super walkable from the hotel we stayed at, which made it an easy stop. 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! read more

Pacific Java Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pacifica, California

Cozy coffee shop located in Pacifica. For my first time in Rockaway Beach, Pacific Java Cafe delivered on flavor, vibes and service. The location is amazing~ Rockaway Beach is coastal, casual and charming. The coffee matched the energy. I got a cold brew with sugar free vanilla and strawberry syrup. The coffee was smooth and had subtly sweet notes, very refreshing. If you're looking for a chill coffee spot, Pacific Java Cafe is the place to go. read more

Cute coffee shop with a loft and friendly staff. Cold brew did the job. Got a maple "home spun" by Sugar Cinns bakery which was described as a donut and muffin hybrid. Really good and reminded me of the maple donut cupcake from Cako in SF back in the day. Texturally like a cake donut but in muffin form. read more

I had a Toasted Hazelnut coffee that was really good. It's cute inside this place. I'll be back.

If Pinterest had a beach baby with a caffeine addiction, it would be Pacifica Java. This tiny seaside café in Pacifica, CA is so charming it might actually be judging you for not wearing Birkenstocks. I went with the Salted Caramel Latte iced, which was basically dessert disguised as a beverage--and I'm not mad about it. Sweet, salty, cold, and sassy. Like me, if I were a drink. My wife, ever the connoisseur of drinks with animal names, got the English Zebra Mocha. She was very pleased, which means it was either delicious or just didn't make her raise an eyebrow. Either way: win. If you're not into delicious drinks, cute vibes, or tiny shops that make you feel like you stumbled into someone's well-curated dream journal, then maybe keep driving. But if you like caffeine with coastline and a hint of quirk, Pacifica Java's your jam. Want me to crank it up with some poetic sass or turn it into a Yelp-worthy roast? I'm all ears. read more

Stumbled upon this cute coffee shop after our hike. They provide different flavors of lattes, we got ourselves a Lucky Latte & it was yummy ! Not too sweet. Spent sometime hanging out here as it was so homy & cozy. Finally found another hangout place in Pacifica. read more

I took a little solo trip to Rockaway Beach to reset. Life's been a bit overwhelming lately; one of those times where everything hits at once. I went for a walk and found this cute café called Pacifica Java. There's an upstairs nook I wish I'd found earlier to journal there, but I left my book on the car. Journaling by the ocean was nice though :). I ordered a medium Misty Morning Mocha, and the barista made a tiny panda in the foam. The drink was mildly sweet with a hint of peppermint. I was expecting it to be sweet like all other Mocha's i tend to get, but it was a nice surprise. The Panda Art made my day a bit brighter. I wasn't expecting it, but it's a little reminder that small moments can make a big difference. read more

Such a cute cafe in Pacifica! Stopped by here prior to hiking at Mori Point. I ordered the matcha latte and it was pretty good. Also ordered the pre-packaged sausage and egg breakfast sandwich. I had the cashier heat the sandwich and the sandwich ended up being hot on the outside but still cold on the inside :/ I just ate it as is lol since I didn't want to bother the one cashier about it since she was the only one working! My friend ordered the honey lavender latte and she really enjoyed it! Either way, the cafe was relatively small but had a decent amount of seating both upstairs and downstairs. There's even some board games and a game console to hangout and play. Would recommend stopping by if you're looking for a chill cafe :) read more

I enjoy going to Pacific Java Cafe every so often when I'm on the coast! Their lattes are fun and usually very good, sometimes they taste a little off unfortunately. I love that they have some pastries from Mazzettis! Their breakfast sandwich offerings are decent too, most are meat and there is (I think) one plant based, so that's nice. Everyone there is friendly and the space itself is super welcoming! They have a cute corner for kids too which is helpful when trying to keep them entertained! read more

We needed a caffeine fix and were happy to see that this local shop was open on a holiday. It isn't very big but there is a table inside and a couple of chairs outside. They also have a piano inside and one of the patrons had taken it upon himself to play music, which greatly entertained my kids while we were waiting for our drinks. My husband got a standard latte and it was vey well made - the espresso was rich and the milk was creamy. They also have a bunch of other unique drinks on the menu so I decided to get a coconut oatmilk chai latte which is listed as a "local favorite." While the drink was good, it was super sweet, which is not my preference. I could only drink about 1/3rd of it and had to toss the rest. So if I were to get it again, I would greatly customize the sweetness level. read more

My favorite cafe in Pacifica! I come here often to get some work done and I also love bringing my friends and family here. The coffee is great and the vibe is always welcoming. There is an upstairs and downstairs and also seating outside. This is a perfect place to relax, chat it up, get some work done & even play some notes on the piano they have! read more

One of my coffee places to get work done/study! Pros: - Lots of seating (down & up stairs). - Staff are super friendly! - Lots of different teas, coffees, drinks, and snacks! - parking is right across! And after you're done with your work, you can stroll to the beach! read more

Coffee smell is AMAZING!! After exploring the beach and a few local shops, we stumbled upon Pacific Java! A cute little local coffee shop with a cozy and chill out vibe! We walked in and there was a man playing the piano (looked like a local) and was just hanging out. The music, the vibe and service all spot on. At 3:00pm on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty relaxed and a nice flow of things. I ordered a cappuccino $4 My husband ordered an Americano $4 Lots of seating! Upstairs and downstairs!! Will be back for sure!! read more

This is such a hidden gem of a coffee shop ! It's behind these shops in one of the main shopping areas in Pacifica. They have two levels of seating and I went with my sister, so we decided to each sit on a different floor. I wanted something warm to eat and drink while I read, and I sat next to a window with some nice sunlight filtered by clouds. The drink I ordered was tasty and was the turmeric chai latte. The service was not memorable to me, hence my 4 stars. But I would love to came again as this coffee shop is quite the mood ! read more

My rating would be 10 stars if it was possible. It's my favorite coffee shop. The best coffee I've ever had, great service, and amazing atmosphere. My partner and I work there every Saturday or Sunday. This place is worth the drive from San Francisco. It's a very chill and friendly atmosphere. Live piano, omg, we love this place. Thank you guys, you are the best! read more

Super cute and aesthetically pleasing coffee shop right by the beach :) service was nothing to rave about as it was very minimal but we appreciated getting our drinks pretty quickly. Matcha vanilla oat milk latte - Yes, get this! Perfect balance between matcha and vanilla flavors and the best part was.. it was not too sweet! Toasted latte - I could definitely taste the hazelnut in this drink. Unlike matcha vanilla, this was more of a bitter and stronger drink but we still enjoyed it regardless. read more

great coffee (even leftover coffee 5 days later was great). super nice staffer who made it the way i asked/needed (no foam, as it causes me terrible cramps. youd be surprised how many baristas leave milk foam in anyway). parking was a little tough then (big lot was full), but good spot if u r at rockaway beach. read more

Found ourselves here for a post-lunch pick-me-up, drawn by the charming beachside buildings. It's walking distance from a small hiking trail along Rockaway beach, a little secluded path dotted with squirrels and seabirds. Pacific Java is equally charming, with its vintage knick knacks and beach paraphernalia, furnished eclectically all around. Upstairs, smaller tables better for reading and studying. Their counter display boasts a plastic-packaged spread of baked goods. Staff are chatty. ICED WHITE MOCHA: Silky smooth, while still caffeinated enough to wake me up. Not too sweet. Compostable cups! Cute setting, good coffee. read more

Is Rockaway Beach the great undiscovered tourist hamlet of Northern California? No, not really, but it's a quick drive from the city unless Hwy One is backed up. I came here by way of a hike though Mori Point. All that scaling up and down those seaside cliffs made me susceptible to a spontaneous afternoon snack. Oh please, not a burger and fries at Rock n' Rob's. Rather, a cup of coffee is fine, and this cordial beach-style cafe met my needs with a decent $4 Cafe au Lait (photo: https://bit.ly/3JNEcUa). I veered off-track a bit with the addition of a hefty $3 Poppyseed Muffin that was clearly in the display case since the early morning hours (photo: https://bit.ly/3FLRCyX). No matter as I devoured it anyway. FOOD / COFFEE - 3 stars...suitably filling, no more, no less AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...beachy homespun style SERVICE - 4 stars...best part of the experience TOTAL - 3 stars...hidden away cafe could be your Rockaway Beach pitstop RELATED - Exploring the Pacific side of the peninsula?

This is the type of place you will find me reading on a sunny morning. Amazing coffee. The matcha could be a little heavier. My drink was a light green and I prefer a stronger taste of matcha. Overall would come back just for the breakfast items. The beef pastry was so fluffy and delicious. I like their way the light shines in into the windows. Definitely a instagram worthy little coffee joint. read more

It's so warm and soothing to be in here, very cute and goo stop before going to see the beach. Warm smiles and very nice barista. Doughnut I had was very good and not as sweet paired with the toasted latte I had, which by the way is the cutest latte art, trust me this coffee means so much to me, thank you my cat and pup just passed this holiday. Thank you to the girl barista, sorry I didn't get your name because I am too shy. read more

The service was very straight forward. I ordered a cookie and a Rockaway Ricky. As I entered the cafe, it was awesome to listen to piano music played on an actual piano. The place looked cozy. There was a second floor, the place reminded me of a living room vibe-homey. The drink had Mexican cocoa and coffee liqueur which I never had as a combo before it was great-hot and necessary for a cold day. The cookie was crunchy and soft that slightly came apart as I bit into it. This is definitely a place where you can be comfortable study and get work done. read more

it was amazing, fast and great customer service 10/10 recommend this place for some coffee or there chai it is delicious

First time here. Cool little place at Rockaway Beach. I ordered a double espresso. It came in a disposable espresso cup. Espresso really needs to be in a small cup so I appreciated this. It's a medium roast. I prefer dark, but it was decent for the type of roast. Not sure where they get their coffee. I will ask next time. I will be back. It's nice that they are right across the street from a public parking lot. read more

This is a super cute cafe by the beach that is serving excellent coffee - I ordered a salted caramel latte with oat milk and was delicious.
