We tried the pumpkin spice latte in both a hot version and a frappe and both were really good.

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.

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.

Their croissant is tasty and presents well. Plus it has a reasonable price too! I stay around for the beautiful coastal view from their deck outside. On most weekends there is live music too. When it's sunny outside the music is on the deck. Clean inside and out. Including their restroom. Easy to find directly off the Cost highway. Easy parking. Close to the beach and other hiking trails.

It's crazy to open a gelato shop somewhere so cold and gloomy and its a testament to how good their gelato is. Parking is in the DT area of HMB so it can be challenging to get a spot. There is plenty of seating outside and the interior has a bright orange wall that has the colors also carry over to the chairs that are outside. Inside is small but ifs perfect for getting your gelato and then moving outside to eat. Vanilla Bean: Much more deep in vanilla flavor than grovery store ice cream.

They also maintained the cleanliness. When I ordered, I was immediately asked about any allergies. I decided to order Speculoos & Creme Brulee, hoping they would be good. I chose well! They were creamy, smooth, yummy, & not too sweet. It was a delicious treat & I left satisfied.
