We came Sunday around 11:45 and waited about 25 mins in line. We sat outside with the dog and waited maybe 25 mins for the food to arrive. We had the tortilla soup (disappointing), the Buddha bowl (good but salty) the avocado adds a lot. Chicken pesto sandwich was great Overall food is good, service is ok (on the slow side). Parking is tough on weekends but you can find something if you walk a bit( it's a huge parking lot). read more

Went for our typical Wednesday brunch! The good: Still a vibrant spot, with solid, delicious food & beverages. Wanted to give a special shout out to our server Chloe - who went above and beyond in accommodating our group with our special needs/requests. Thank you for the steller service! The bad: The second we left our large table (our party consisted of 3 people), a solo laptop camper (who had been sitting next to us before we even arrived) immediately jumped to claim our table. It may have even been the same individual as last time. I feel as though they should put signs that large tables are reserved for parties of 3 or more people. There's nothing wrong with working from such a delightful spot, but hogging a large table for yourself is really inconsiderate. read more

Long wait for drinks ordered online. Very popular breakfast/ brunch/ lunch destination. Ambiance looks cool especially located on the beach side in Pacifica. Haven't tried the food yet but will next time! read more

This review is for to go coffee and pastries. Be prepared to wait in line for awhile. Yes it's popular and there are lot of people working making coffee drinks and in the kitchen and serving food. Everything stops at the one cashier in a line that goes out the door and around the corner. We went on. Sunday and wanted coffee drinks and pasties to go. It's the same line that you would order if you are dining in. The cashier does everything from taking the order to getting pastries out of the case. Surely she can use a teammate. The drinks were on point. Ordered a charcoal latte and dirty chai. The almond lemons cake piece was tiny for $7.95. Banana choco walnut for $4.75 was better. Be prepared to pay 75 cents more for almond milk or oat milk substitute. Not worth a long wait just for coffee and pasties. Maybe next time will try some of their breakfast items as a sit down. read more

It is a busy, hectic place, but that also says a lot about how much people like it. No matter when I come, it usually seems packed: inside, outside, and in the different seating areas. I usually have to circle around a few times before I can figure out where I might find a corner to sit down and get some work done. It is not the calmest place to work, especially during busy times, but once you find a spot, it can be a nice place to settle in with coffee and a laptop. The biggest selling point is definitely the location. It is right by the beach in Pacifica. Soul Grind is also Pacifica's first coffee roastery, and they roast their coffee in-house, which gives the place more personality than a standard coffee shop. The whole vibe is very beachy, casual, and local, with a mix of surfers, people grabbing coffee after being near the water, and others trying to work or meet up. They have a pretty large coffee menu, plus food options like pastries, sandwiches, quiche, melts, and breakfast items. read more

This was my second visit to this casual cafe spot. I didn't write a review on my first visit because it was a bit of a letdown. One, the customer in front of us took a long time deciding what to order and we missed the weekend brunch menu by 8 minutes. Two, the cashier gave us the wrong number card so the staff couldn't find us to deliver our food. And three, though this was a cafe style place, customer service was subpar. We decided to give it another try because there must be a reason why this place was always busy. Came a bit early this time. The line was long but was moving fairly fast. There is QR code for the menu so I'd say check it out while you wait in line for at least 20 minutes! It will help to expedite your ordering process once you get to the cashier. There's a good amount of seatings both indoors and outdoors. A good spot to leisurely enjoy your meal if you're not pressed for time. I have had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was very good. This time around had the Cubano (their specialty latte) which was smooth, balanced, and so good! I was able to order the Irish breakfast this time that was only offered on their weekend brunch menu and only until 2pm. We waited a while for our food. And when we finally did, it was not even warm. This was a bit disappointing! The saving grace were the roasted potatoes and sautéed mushrooms that came with my breakfast dish. They were very good. The side salad that accompanied the Lorraine quiche was also very good. I would come back to this cafe definitely for the Cubano, the Ube cream puff, and maybe try some other pastries. As for the breakfast... 67 read more

Yelpers did not let us down on the recommendation! Soul Grind has it ALL! Great service, amazing ambiance, and delishous food and coffee! We had our (nearly) standard almond milk decaf lattes. They were creamy, with nutty-warm coffee--and they even made pretty designs, which is challenging with almond milk. W ordered the almond croissant which was flacky, buttery, and had just a bit of almond spread. I had the salmon toast, which is served on a wheat sourdough bread and includes a light layer of cream cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, chopped red onions, and capers. This was seriously the best salmon toast I've ever had. I split it with W and was a bit sad about that, but that's how much I love him. The toast came with a side salad of mixed greens. I wasn't expecting much but the vinaigrette wowed me! Not over dressed and they used a citrus, which I'm fairly confident was grapefruit. Yum! Since we split my toast, I was still hungry, so I went back for more food. It's so hard to choose because everything looks so good. So I went back to the pastry case and ordered the blueberry clafoutis. I've never had this traditionally French desert but heard about them on cooking shows. This version was made with a shortbread crust and had cherries inside the smooth and creamy custard, topped with fresh and sweet blueberries. Next time your in or driving through Pacifica--dont miss Soul Grounds! read more

I was VERY impressed by the food here! We just stopped by to eat after surfing so we were very hungry. Here are my thoughts: Food: their coffee was fine, I was expecting more because they specialize in roasting their beans I assume but it was still great coffee. Can't complain there. The food was the absolute best. High recommend their waffles and sandwiches. We tried so hard to figure out what was so different but we settled on everything from their waffle to their whipped cream to their syrup, was top notch! Service: the people there are nice, they clean up their tables quick so we were able to find a table fast for our party of 7. Ambiance was great they have a pretty big seating capacity, both indoor and outdoor seating were available. read more

This is an ideal breakfast or brunch spot located just about on the beach. If you want an epic morning, come here when they open around 7am so you can watch the fog burn off as the sun rises over the hills. They do the old school display of having the real dishes out on display (mimis cafe, anyone?) which I find absolutely endearing. It helps you understand the portion sizes and no one is caught off guard once you get your food. We've gone here a few times in the last month and we got the same food items each time. Avo & egg toast - 5/5 - the bread alone is 5/5. It's hard boil eggs, avocado, tomato, with dressed greens on top of rustic bread. It's both hearty and light at the same time. Buddha bowl- 5/5- husband raves about it every time. The tomatoes and quinoa are the stars in my opinion. Deliciously roasted tomatoes with quinoa is a delicious dressing. Quiche Lorraine- 5/5- no edits necessary The pastries! Ok, so 3/5- I'm not sure if it's their proximity to the ocean/ humidity but their croissants taste wet without that buttery flaky crisp. I would not come for the pastries but the coffee and meals are read more

I've been going here since they opened 5 years ago and realized I never offered a review! This place definitely deserves its laurels because it consistently delivers high quality pour over coffee, lattes and fantastic brunch food. Kudos to Eddie (the coffee roaster!) for all the hard work he's poured into making this business a cornerstone of Pacifica. That being said, I'll offer some tips: - Parking is crazy here if you arrive anytime after 10am on a weekend. You're competing with grocery outlet shoppers, surfers and people who want free parking to go to the beach - the wait can be really long on the weekend so ordering online helps, although they make the drinks on the spot so you will need to wait for that Personal recommendations! - the cliff side and Cubano are my go to drinks! - their Lox toast is legit! I've been to so many places to try their lox and this seriously is the best - it's loaded with lox and it is so flavorful. The salad dressing they use on their mixed greens is citrusy and is a perfect complement to the field greens read more

From what I've hear this is a local favorite and for a good reason. Local coffee roasters, wonderful coffee, and pastries. Ample parking with indoor and outdoor seating. The chocolate croissant is amazing! Paired with their coffees or matcha delicious. The area is very busy and there were lots of people here we almost couldn't get a seat inside. The food items we had were decent. My sister had trouble eating her sandwich because it was so big and Ive had better lox. This place is truly an experience with local surf shops Nextdoor it's work stopping by to explore. I really enjoyed coming here and I would recommend if you're in the area. read more

Whoa! I'm coming back for their breakfast for sure! We swung by for coffee and there was a huge line out the door to order. We were probably 15th in line when we had a thought to order our coffee online instead. We did so, got out of line, and went straight inside to wait for our drinks at the pick up area. We waited and waited and waited for about 20 minutes but we're trying to be considerate of how busy they were, so we sat there in front of the bar just chatting (hoping we would hear our names for our drinks after given a 10 minute approximate wait time online.) After all that time, someone decided to ask us what we were waiting for (2 lattes!) and then told us that we should've checked in with the baristas earlier. Otherwise, they won't make the drinks if they don't know that you're already there. What a weird way to operate! read more

Great drip coffee and food options. The workers all give great customer service! Ambulance is nice because they play music that I like to vibe to. The only issue is they have kind of a long line when you get there from time to time so it's better to order online for pick up if you don't have a lot of time. read more

Uniqueness: A coffee shop with a great selection of pies and sweet pastries and as well as a large assortment of brunch/lunch dishes too. Wait Time: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][x][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? The pies here are surprisingly good and not something you'd typically see at a coffee shop. On a rare visit to Pacifica a year back, I noticed this corner coffee shop in a VERY crowded parking lot that had a decent line waiting outside so I decided to give this place a try. Thoroughly enjoying my coffee and slices of pie here, I knew I would definitely be back here for more to which I made my 2nd trip back to see what else Soul Grind has to offer. The wait time here was unfortunately just as long as my first time coming here but if you're willing to wait, the quality of their food and coffee here is great. They have an assortment of sweet pastries that are more on the pie and heavier pastries vs. croissants & lighter pastries you'd see at a coffee shop and they serve breakfast/brunch/lunch here as well. I decided to get the smoked avocado toast, ube creampuff, plus the lemon ricotta pancake with a Tiramisu latte on the side. - The salmon toast was great and as you'd expect for a salmon toast, with the capers, chives, smoked salmon, and cream cheese on top of an artisan piece of bread. The bread was bit hard for my liking so that may be a slight negative to some. - The ube creampuff was PERFECT in terms of ube flavor plus creamy filling, and would definitely get it again if it's not seasonal. - The Lemon ricotta pancake was great with the lemon ricotta sauce drizzled on top with strawberries & blueberries. - Tiramisu Latte was unique as it's a latte with Tiramisu coffee flavor that was great for a sweet latte drink. Staff here were friendly and it was a very crowded day yet they seem to have everything all in order with everyone looking like they were really enjoying their day. An excellent cafe, Soul Grind hits the mark with quality food & coffee in the Pacifica area. Even with the parking lot that is a pain to find any parking and the long lines, I would still consider coming back here for more so if you're wiling to wait a bit, you'll likely enjoy what Soul Grind has to offer. A recommended place from me for others to try. read more

I'm writing this review after visiting soul grind for the second time and I think I've found my new favorite cafe!! I absolutely love the vibes of the space and the location right on the beach is sublimee. My first visit I had the gingerbread latte (seasonal) and I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the espresso was even thought I had decaf! The space was busy even on a weekday but we were able to find the perfect spot by the coffee roaster to get work done. The WiFi has a 2 hr limit and a 1 hr blackout period so plan accordingly if you wanted to get work done here. My second visit was early on a Monday morning and it was a little slower (no line out the door) but the cafe quickly filled up after 9 am. I had the Spinach and Mushroom Quiche which was delicious and came with a small side salad. A little steep in price but I think worth the experience. I also tried their chai with oatmilk and loved how spicy it was! The chai and quiche was $20. Plenty of parking on a weekday. And again so beautiful on a sunny day in Pacifica! read more

Lovely vibes! Gets pretty busy, even during the weekday, but it's worth it with its perfect ambiance! With everyone around, it seriously sounds like those youtube cafe background noise videos haha. They had cozy holiday decor up in December, along with a fire place and Christmas tree. Do note that you'll get timed out of the wifi after a while (forgot how long), but it'll let you back on after a ~45 min blackout period. I got the matcha chai latte and it was extremely bitter, so I definitely wouldn't get it again unfortunately. I was able to ask for simple syrup in the front and added some cream until I was able to drink it haha. I also got the pumpkin cream cheese cupcake and it was yummy! Perfect seasonal sweet treat! I would come back just for the vibes (not the matcha lol)! read more

Smoked Salmon toast is a large portion and fantastic. I highly recommend the Cubano latte. There seems to always be a line but seems to go pretty quickly. This is a pretty relaxed spot to stop by near a local surf spot. (Which can make parking difficult at times). read more

Good coffee, good vibes, beautiful weather (rare) - what more could you ask for? I went down on a Thursday morning and there was a decent amount of foot traffic happening. I ordered the cliffside iced coffee with decaf and oatmilk. I can confirm they put oatmilk inside because I didn't immediately pop my pants (sometimes coffee places will just forget). It had the perfect amount of coffee taste and the lack of caffeine (since I got decaf) was perfect since my heart beat didn't go into overdrive. I got the Brekkie which was tasty but honestly, you go there for the views and the vibes. It's a perfect place to grab something if you are heading to the beach or surfing or just want to relax oceanside with the wind in your hair. read more

This is a popular spot on the weekends. Although there is a free parking lot, parking can be difficult since it's shared with other businesses and parking for surfers. Seeing the line out the door, we decided to visit after our hike. We ordered online when we were 15 mins from Soul Grind which allowed us to bypass the long order line and directly check in with the barista on arrival. We still had to wait 10 - 15 mins for our drinks. Ordered 3 items. Charcoal latte, Matcha Latte and a cinnamon roll. Charcoal Latte (4/5) Tasted like a regular latte with the added potential health benefit from the charcoal. I appreciated that it was unsweetened. Matcha Latte (2/5) The matcha was bitter, grassy and a little gritty. I would not order again as there are better spots for matcha. Cinnamon Roll (1/5) I noticed the pastry was from Starter Bakery which raised my expectations. However, the roll was dry and stale. This makes me hesitant to try their other baked goods. I did enjoy the vibe of the cafe. Indoor and dog-friendly outdoor seating. Friendly service. This spot is a nice option when visiting, but I would not go out of my way specifically for the cafe. The coastal hike nearby is worth checking out so if I'm in the area again, I would visit again to try their food as it looked good. read more

Back here on a sunny Sunday. We arrived and lined up at noon, with seven people in front of us. We placed our orders and found a table inside. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks--one hot latte and one iced matcha latte--and another 20 minutes for our food. Expect to wait for your food, so if you're in a hurry, go early or skip this place, as there's usually a line to order and at least a 20+ minute wait for food. The drinks and food were good as usual. The place is cute and very welcoming. They even have a loveseat where you can sit and enjoy your drinks. Parking might be tough depending on the time, but if you circle around, you'll usually find a space. read more

While Soul Grind Coffee Roasters is popular with decent coffee, there was nothing that made me want to come back. For a Sunday brunch before hiking, my friends and I decided to visit Soul Grind based on the reviews. Even pulling up into the parking lot (shared with other businesses), we could tell Soul Grind was super popular with a line visible. It is a pretty decent sized place with plenty of seats indoor and outdoor. The decor is very on theme with a beach vibe which works well. While I thought the sandwich was good, I was a little disappointed with the pastries and coffee which was a big letdown considering they are a coffee roastery. Pour over coffee (2/5): My friend and I both got the pour over and we both agreed that the coffee tasted watery and did not have the rich flavor we would expect from a specialty coffee shop. Zucchini tea bread (3/5): Moist from the zucchini with bits of nuts to provide a little crunch. It did lean more into the sweet with a just a hint of spice. Cinnamon crumble cake (2.5/5): Nice cinnamon loaf but tasted more on the sweet side. Brekkie (4/5): Very solid breakfast sandwich. The croissant was lightly toasted and pressed to make sure to get the ham and cheese warm and melty. I enjoyed the jammy egg in the middle to provide a bit of richness to the bite. The sandwich also came with a side of fruit. Part of the reason for the line is that it takes awhile for each person to order. But once ordered, the food came out fairly quickly. As mentioned before, the parking was pretty rough during the brunch hour on the weekend since it does share parking with several other businesses. Given how difficult it is to get and the food/drinks being just okay, Soul Grind Coffee may only be worth visiting if less busy and other options not available. read more

Such a great spot in Pacifica! On a Sunday afternoon, this plaza was bumping so it could take a bit to find parking. Upon arrival there was a line to order and then you find a seat. There is a back patio as well where we found a spot. Beautiful weather just brings it all together. I loved the display of items right by the cash register so you could see various options and they all looked delicious so it was hard to choose, but expect a wait to order -- could take 15 - 20 minutes depending. We opted for the Irish Breakfast which was enough to share for the 2 of us. The plate comes with 2 fried eggs, pork sausage, bacon, roasted tomatoes, roasted potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, and bread. Everything tasted good and freshly grilled/cooked/well seasoned. Simple breakfast items but all done well. The bread was supposed to come with peanut butter and jelly but we didn't get that. Ordered the special item latte that was supposed to have blue spirulina, but it tasted like a regular latte to me. The coffee was smooth though. My partner got the cold brew and it wasn't bitter. There is only one bathroom reserved for patrons and there's another that is for employees only, but having only one bathroom (one stall) is very limiting. Someone in there was surely having some tummy problems and my partner was waiting in line for over 20 minutes during a busy Sunday brunch time. It would be nice for staff to see the line and just open up the employee one when it's backed up. read more

Soul Grind is located in the Linda Mar area of Pacifica, not far from the beach and ocean. It was nice to stumble upon a local coffee roaster. It's a popular place, even mid-afternoon. Most of the seating was occupied. There's seating inside and also outside in the patio at the back. There can be a long line to order, and also a long line for the restroom (because there is only 1 for the large volume of customers). Overall, it has a relaxed vibe where people can come to meet with friends or come here to work on their laptops. They have a decent menu of coffees & tea. It's a nice variety without being overwhelming. They also have bakery items, breakfast items, soups, salads, sandwiches and brunch. They had 3 types of coffee when I stopped by : Guatemala, Brazil and Sumatra. I chose a bag of Sumatra to make coffee at home. I love roasters that put a "roasted on" date on their package so you know how fresh those beans are. I enjoyed the Sumatra blend. I will have to try one of the other coffees next time I'm in the area. The bad ... parking can be a challenge since it is shared by Grocery Outlet and several other restaurants & shops. In addition to this, people try to park here to access the beach (despite signs saying it's for customer parking & others will be towed). read more

I have never seen a place set every single food dish they have to offer in resin for all to see! Very interesting- though odd. Soul Grind offers up delicious-looking food, coffee, and desserts with great parking, outdoor seating, and access to the beach. After ordering, we waited about 7 minutes for our matcha, which did seem like a while. It was good, though, perhaps needed more sweetness. The vibes here are beach-y with lots of indoor/outdoor spaces from the large rolling garage doors and cute back patio. They also have the roasting equipment out for all to see. Cool! We grabbed some desserts to go. We were most impressed by the carrot cake tart, though the lemon bar was good too. I just felt like, for the price, this place wasn't pumping out the quality of some of the other coffee shops I visited while in Pacifica. Still a great place to grab a coffee and snack! read more

Awesome coffee shop / roaster by the ocean. I ordered a cold brew for here which was $5. The cold brew was delicious and not bitter or sour (at least for me). I did drink it faster than expected which resulted in a caffeine rush. That just means I'll need to get another if/when I start to crash! There's great light and ventilation inside the coffee shop as well. The staff are pleasant and parking was readily available. They have an ample food selection as well which ranges from baked goods to hot food. I'm planning to come back with the family and give it a try! read more

Imagine surfers, family with kids, friends enjoying brunch, a great cup of coffee, an amazing meal and a good conversation minus the tourists in CA. This is what embodies Soul Grind. I often come here with my friends and family to enjoy a good ambiance and food. Service is average. Like I said, I come here often but it seems like little to no one behind the bar or even severs are quite friendly. But regardless, the place is amazing, there's even a trail to go to the ocean. This is a local spot Dog friendly as long as you sit outside. Great to experience with friends and family. read more

I finally got to try this spot and they have a wide breakfast selection! I ordered the Lite Eater and the Avocado and Egg Toast. Their display plates on the counter were a good example of how the food looks when it comes out and I found that very helpful. The food tasted great, I wouldn't go into much detail about the food because it was self-explanatory, but I do have to say their ingredients are fresh. I think the coffee was okay, Also we tried the iced blue matcha and it just tasted like sweet milk. The location is pretty chill, the outdoor seating is a vibe, but it's a lot more cozier inside. It's hard to find parking in the weekends so I suggest coming early and weekdays are usually easier. I'd definitely come here for the breakfast, but not for the coffee. read more

Soul Grind Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pacifica, California

This place was packed on a Sunday morning. Line out the door the whole time, but the line moves quickly. You order at the counter and then you take a number to your table/seat where drinks and food are brought to you if you choose to dine-in. Drinks arrived quickly. FYI to parents with kids ordering hot chocolate, they use artisan chocolate which is naturally bitter but you can request it sweetened. It still is not your classic chocolate drink so some kids may not like it, as an adult I found it yummy but a bit too rich. The food was good but a bit expensive for what it is. It's a bit loud inside and the tables are tightly packed. You'll get a view of the grinding inside which is pretty cool. There is also outside seating in front and a patio in the back. Parking ma be tough if the weather is nice since it seems to be the go to parking spot for surfers. Overall a nice place. read more

I really wanted to like Soul Grind Coffee Roasters because the location and atmosphere are genuinely lovely, and the food looks beautiful when it comes out. That said, the breakfast was a huge disappointment and absolutely not worth the wait or the drive. I ordered the Waffle & Berries, and it was honestly one of the worst waffles I've had. The waffles were dry, hard, and had barely any flavor. They were presented nicely, but the taste did not match the appearance at all. My dad ordered the pancakes, and my mom also pointed out that he complained they were hard and dry too, so it was not just my dish. On top of that, there were barely any seats, and the food took a very long time to come out even though it was basic breakfast food. I found this place through TikTok and had higher expectations, especially because of all the good reviews, but for breakfast, this place did not live up to the hype at all. Pretty setting, but the breakfast itself was disappointing enough that I would not come back for it. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in the San Francisco Bay Area, soul grind has amazing service, food, drinks, and views. Plenty of parking and easy to find.

There's plenty of space to enjoy your drink and meal and to get some work done. Totally recommend this spot! read more

This morning I bought a breakfast bagel and a coffee to go, then drove to Linda Mar beach to eat it in my car before a surfing class. I opened the box and discovered that the sandwich was soaking in pineapple juice from the fruit salad. Why not put it in a separate container? I didn't know it came with that fruit salad so I didn't get a fork and the employee who handed me the box didn't bother to give me one or suggest I grab one. I had to eat it with my hands and a few slippery pieces of it popped out of my fingers. I wasn't happy about having to fish them out from under my car seats. read more
