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!

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.

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

Matcha Latte

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.

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!

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.

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!

A beachside coffee roastery that is perfectly set up to enjoy your coffee and food with a wonderful view and ample seating. The staff is nice and they offer fast service for their large demand. I ordered the Cubano Hot and Toasted Marshmellow Latte which they were both rich, creamy and full of flavor.

Matcha Chai Latte
Tessa V.

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)!

Coffee tasted good. Location good. Inside cute. Service - yikes. Person at register was confused and went to ask another staff member when we let her know we were ordering coffee but didn't say one word to us or communicate. Person that made the coffee was snarky. Overall seemed very rude, I complimented the coffee and the returned response was a laugh? And when the beer order was dropped at the table it was kind of slammed down in front of us. Vibes are way off.

Cozy fireplace seating or watch the roasting process

Charming modern-natural coffee shop next to the beach. Ample parking and seating inside and out. Joggers pass by on the trail as well as those out for a morning walk. The coffee is roasted in-house and it is excellent. I tried a surf side latte which is a blend of caramel and vanilla that is quite lovely. The barista was very friendly as well as the server. This is an excellent place to go for coffee when visiting Pacifica!

Came here today.I have never been here before and I like this place.Nice wonderful employees I got the lox bagel with cream cheese,onion capers on a toasted seeded bagel.Very tasty I sat outside on their patio. I recommend this place

Charcoal Latte
Jessica H.

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.

See all

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

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

Love, love, LOVE this Farmers Market! Super local good…read morecommunity vibes. Hoku is a gem managing the EBT stuff and Colleen does all the behind-the-scenes managing work to keep the magic going (she is the Big Momma of the market). They have lots of community flyers and stuff on the info table too. They have a price match thing which helps low-income folks get more greens in their diet, which is really nice! It wasn't before long I began knowing the names of all the local distributors here, enjoying the excellent live music from Jane, the chalk for the kiddos, sometimes little puppies to adopt - it's quite a scene. There's a yellow truck that makes the greatest chicken club sandwhich I've ever had - with a rotisserie chicken across the street! The baked goods Ryan has are to die for, and if you've been to a delicatessen, you know these are A+ quality and very affordable for the quality (you're paying for the food, not the tablecloths). The GREENS are the best Ive had - much higher quality than other farmers markets I've been to in the area. Crunchy fresh carrots, brocollini (I never heard of this but its like sweet and rly good), and pickled cucumbers that made the best home made pickles ever! Some of the farmers are super nice and will give you extra sometimes or encourage you to sample things. How cool is that? The Rosalind Bakery cookies are the bomb, too. Very cheap tamales and horchata. and the BEST SEAFOOD I ever had in my life. Bar-none. I could go on and on...the prices might be a tad higher but the quality and community makes it worth while. I regularly walk out with a heavy bag for $20 spent, so I'm not complaining. If I wanted tasteless GMO veggies I'd go to Safeway. This is the real deal and the meals that come out of here are gourmet. I get upset if I have to buy ingredients somewhere else, hah! Come out for a sunny or a foggy day. You won't regret :)

The prices are better at the grocery store. This farmer's market has always been pretty expensive…read more Not a big fan despite a wonderful location near the beach. I'm sure there are hundreds of costs involved in transporting goods to this market, but maaaan. I believe last time I went it was $3.99/lb for plums... And $10 for an 8 oz thing of hummus. $30 for a 3.9 oz loose leaf tea container, which serves roughly 40-50 cups of tea. So actually not terrible, but way more expensive than loose leaf I've purchased at other markets or permanent store fronts. 2/5. Come for the samples lol

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.

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 Thai crispy pancakes was very fragrant and the filling was wrapped in a sweet thin like taco shell. One pancake was actually pretty filling already. I feel kids will love this . There was something very florally about this pancake and I tried it ask them what it was but I think girl at the front had to ask their manager. The Thai coconut pancakes with corn js my favorite.
