    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    I know that bagels aren't exactly the healthiest meal to start your day, but I can't help it - it's…read moreone of my go-to breakfast foods. In my defense, though, at least I try to keep it a bit healthier by not slathering globs of cream cheese all over it. However, when it comes to lox bagels, all bets are off. And you can be sure all bets were off when we stopped off at David's Bagels to try what my buddy says is his favorite lox & bagels around! Much like Pacifica as a whole, David's Bagels is a rather cozy, laid back sort of spot. While there isn't any seating inside (I assume a lot of folks take their order down towards the pier or the beach), they do have a display case for their pastries and treats they offer to go along with the fifteen or so varieties of bagels. Based on the photos on Yelp, most of those baked goodies, like their muffins, croissants, hamentoshen, and donuts, looked pretty enticing, but, sadly, we didn't get to try any of them since all they had left were a few different types of cookies. Since I already knew what I wanted before we even walked in, the only thing left to figure out was the type of bagel. Thankfully, I was able to get exactly what I wanted - a LOX & CREAM CHEESE ($17.75) on a Jalapeno Cheddar Bagel with Everything (Tomatoes, Cucumbers, and Capers). Although the bagel itself was notably smaller than I thought it would be, all together, this was still pretty hefty and tasty. The salmon was delicious, the veggies were fresh, they didn't skimp on the cream cheese, and, most importantly, the bagel was terrific aside from its size. The center of it was moist, it wasn't all that dense, and I love how the jalapenos were incorporated in the batter and not just laid on top. As undeniably good as the Lox & Cream Cheese was, it's hard to argue that it didn't feel a little pricey. Granted, it has gotten more expensive at just about every bagel joint and that this one came fairly loaded, but I still feel like I could find this for less elsewhere. That being said, the cost of the bagels by itself, as well as their Turkey Bagel Sandwich, are actually pretty standard. All in all, THREE AND A HALF STARS would be perfect if I could, but I'm, somewhat regretfully, rounding down for now. I may not get the Lox & Bagel here again, as it's a bit of a splurge, but I'd happily return to David's Bagels to try their other bagels and some of their other baked goodies!

    Disappointing. We are new to the area and hoped to find a new regular breakfast spot and this place…read morewasn't it because of the service and food. Sadly, we won't be back. Walked in Saturday morning and it was empty except for a couple waiting for their drinks. While waiting to order (since the staff was busy preparing drinks), another customer walked in and asked if the falafel bagel was available which the staff said yes to. The customer then patiently waited behind us. We were told to wait since they would be done with the drinks soon. A few minutes later, another staff member asked the other customer what he wanted in his falafel bagel and proceeded to make it. We said that we hadn't placed our order yet and the staff making the drinks said "It takes longer to make and he's a regular customer." Oh. That's how it is here. After we finally ordered and got our bagels (since we wanted to still enjoy our breakfast), we were again disappointed. The everything bagel was flat, small and kind of doughy. (Perhaps not fully cooked?) The egg and cheese with cream cheese was added sloppily. Disappointing since we have just moved here and want to support small businesses. We'll just have to take our business elsewhere.

Expect a line on weekends, but it moves quickly and there's plenty of seating indoors and on the patio. Dogs are also allowed in the patio area making it easy for those accompanied by their furry family. We went here on a weekend at about 3 pm thinking we would beat the lunch crowd, but it was still packed! Looks like it's popular all day! We got the chipotle chicken BLT with pesto mayo on ciabatta bread, the 1/2 burger with secret (Thousand Island) sauce, some beer and a Cubano latte. Everything was delicious! The chipotle chicken BLT came with a side salad tossed in a fresh citrusy dressing that perfectly complemented the sandwich. This is a place where you order at the counter and they bring that food to your table. The lady taking the order (sorry for missing her name) was super helpful with recommendations and made the ordering experience stellar. The coffee was also great. They also have a fridge section with a variety of specialty drinks. A solid place to stop by if you're in the Pacifica area.
