    Maple "home spun" cake donut thing in muffin form.
    Erika C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    It's a local cozy clean cut coffee shop with lots of varieties of drinks pastries and snacks. Has decent amount of tables in two floors. Friendly staff with quick service. Great place for study with reading and relaxing. Close to shore for walk and hike trails.

    I got the Mexican Mocha! WOW! I had no idea this hidden gem was even here! I would definitely revisit! My daughter had toasted marshmallow with hazelnut and she loved hers too! Super cute so we stayed and drank our coffee. The barista was super sweet as well.

    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!

    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!!

    Right near the ocean, Pacific Java is adorable. I love the upstairs level. Very quiet whenever I've been there -- needs more customers!

    Amazing breakfast/brunch food and coffee located in picturesque Pacifica…read more My friend and I went for brunch and I was impressed. I got the Beach Breakfast with a side of bacon while my friend got the avocado and bacon toast. The portion sizes were great! The pancakes were soooo fluffy and warm, delicious! The scrambled eggs had a good texture and the sausage was fantastic- they had a sweet marinade and smokey finish which complimented everything else. The bacon was the perfect chewy:crisp ratio. The avocado and bacon toast was massive and my friends really enjoyed it. The service was quick, especially given how big it is. We sat outside, which included an expansive amount of seating. It was nice walking alongside the beach after- amazing vibes!

She had low key attitude. I'm thinking, how oblivious are you? Any reasonable thinking person would have told that family, "Hey, you've been here for a half hour, and I really need to handle the line.

    Such a gem in Pacifica!!!! You can't miss it. It's right off the highway from Pacifica to Half Moon…read moreBay. I've been wanting to try and am grateful we did! Highly y recommending you book beforehand as the place fills up fast. Once you booked, you pre-pay for everything and just come and enjoy your tea on the day of. This place is so cute! It's located near Rockaway beach, a nice area in Pacifica. There are ample parkings in the back of the store. From outside vibes to the indoor decorations with all the tea sets and cute little tables and small mirrors and trinkets on the walls. It reminded me of Bridgeton and Victoria time. I could spend an entire afternoon here looking at all the cute tea set. Because we had our puppy with us, we opted for an outdoor seating which was equally as nice! Large white-and-yellow-striped umbrellas gave us some needed shades as it was a sunny day. Our table was covered with cute table cloth and everything looks neat and clean. We were started with teas first, and each of us got to pick our own tea. My sis picked the Lychee Rose Green as I had my eyes on the Dragon well. Our teas came out fast and were quickly followed by the yummy high tea display. Starting from the bottom, we had Cucumber with Dill Cream Cheese Chicken, Apple, Walnut, Cranberry Salad Cream Cheese with Guava Jam, Pastrami with Cabbage Salad. This was followed by a warm Scone with Clotted Cream & Jam; a toasted Crumpet with butter & Lemon Curd; and a selection from their Sweet Tray! Everything was so delicious and paired so well with our selections of teas! The service was attentive as well as they checked on us frequently and refilled our tea pots when needed. We had a wonderful time here, slowing down and enjoying the smaller things in life :)

    I always feel bad leaving lower reviews, but this one did not meet any of our expectations (there…read morewere 5 of us). Maybe we expected more since we really enjoyed Lovejoy's the last couple times we went there (I believe they share the same owner, but I may be mistaken). While we give the buttery and fragrant scones very high marks, and the salad and the crumpets were ok, the sandwiches and desserts were not great. The bread was dry and the filling was skimpy compared to many other high teas we have tried, and the petit fours were plain and seemed store-bought. The crumpets came after the desserts because they forgot to serve them to us (not a big deal and they were very apologetic). For the price, we expected more than one tiny item from the dessert tray. The teas were all lovely, but they were out of their Pacifica Blue tea which we were specifically looking forward to trying. This is the 12th tea service we have tried in the past couple years, and we find that we prefer teas that include an assortment of more deluxe dessert items (like SIP or Rotunda in SF), and sandwiches that are made with a variety of breads such as rolls or mini croissants along with the traditional sliced bread, and with more generous filling.

The quality will vary a bit depending on who the boba-rista is as well as time of day because the boba may be sitting if you come at the end of the day, but essentially it's the same product.

The ambiance is very much take out, there is a small bench to sit on and two chairs next to a trash can. In my opinion this business is best enjoyed along with a walk!
