Pastry case
Steve L.

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.

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.

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

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.

Their coffee was great! Really nice staff too. It's obviously popular because there are always lines and seating can get competitive.

I really loved this place!…read more Came for a weekend away and walked by this little gem. It's a super cute little coffee shop that has some adorable vintage decorations. They even have some toys for the kids to play... I love a kid friendly place! We ordered several coffees including a drip, zebra latte, lavender latte and toasted Marshmallow one, a Mexican coffee and even a hot chocolate for the kiddos (sorry I forgot the actual names of the drinks lol). seriously all of them tastes amazing!!!! Great quality coffee!! We even ordered some breakfast sandwiches (those are just decent) but the apple fritter was delicious! Also the prices are extremely fair! The guy behind the register was maybe one of the friendliest workers I talked too that entire weekend in Pacifica. Great kid, super personable! My only complaint is that they don't have a location near my house!!!! This would definitely be my new coffee shot! Definitely grab yourself a cup of coffee when you're in town!!!

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!

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.
