I've been going here since they opened 5 years ago and realized I never offered a review! This…read moreplace 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

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.

They also make an amazing mocha that I absolutely love. Today I decided to try something different, and it came with their house potatoes -- wow. They are honestly some of the best potatoes I've ever had. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like them. I can't believe I hadn't tried them sooner, but now I definitely know what I'll be ordering again!

The man at the register is super kind and has amazing service, always helping out by cleaning tables and bringing anything you need. The whole place just feels very warm and local. Food wise, the pho is honestly mediocre (Oasis is definitely better), but the banh mi is great for the price and the meat over vermicelli dishes are outstanding. If you want super authentic Vietnamese food this might not be your top pick, but for a mom and pop spot in Pacifica they do an amazing job and you won't be disappointed.

5 stars waaaaayy up high! My favorite Italian place in Pacifica (outside of the pizza joints…read moreLuigi's & Viva Italiano's). I mostly come here for the espresso & to practice Italian with one of the cashiers who is a native speaker. They throw on a basketball game and sometimes if it's super slow, the staff will come out from the back to watch. The setting is pretty small, four or five tables indoor seating only w/ ethnically Italian artwork strung along the walls w/ a REALLY nice interior paint job. I've enjoyed their panini sandwiches & some pasta dish (can't recall the name). Have yet to be disappointed by Buona Italia Caffe! It seems like they also take reservations for larger parties, I've came in a few times where three or four of the tables are strung together for family dinners. The business appears to be family owned & operated. Keep up the awesome work & thank you for being a centerpiece of Pacifica culture. Ya'll are the cat's pajamas! LOL

I wasn't a fan of the açaí bowl we got, it was bland and i found a hair in my bowl???? It made me not want to finish my bowl so it felt like a complete waste of my money..

We were on a search for middle eastern food, but all the spots we frequent were closed on a Monday…read moreevening. So I went through my Yelp bookmarks and found Zaza Grill in Pacifica. Easy parking in a large open lot, so no problems with finding a space. When we arrived, there was only one table available right at the door. We sat down, but it was pretty chilly. We couldn't shut the door because the waiter needed to serve a table outside. We were hoping for a table to open up before getting our entrees. Luckily, a table left and we could sit away from the wind. So much better! I think they should have smaller tables for 2, so it could either be for 2 or put 2 tables together to accommodate 4. Just a suggestion for those occasions when a couple takes up a table that seats 4 and there is another couple waiting for a table. That could easily solve this issue. ***OUR PICKS*** COLD MEZZE PLATE ~ * tzatziki - cucumber garlic yogurt dip with dry mint. * baba ghanoush - grilled smoked eggplant with tahini, yogurt, garlic and olive oil * hummus - puréed garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil * dolmas - stuffed grape leaves (rice) * kitzartma - eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, with tomato garlic sauce and topped with garlic and yogurt * kalamatiano - savory Kalamata olives The kitzartma dip was my favorite out of all of them. The least favorite would be the kalamatiano because it was salty, bitter, and tasted like pungent olives. I like olives, but this was a bit too much for me and my partner. When you mix it with the other dips, it was palatable, but harsh on its own. The rest were delicious and mouth watering and great eating with our meal. Warmed pita bread was served with the dips. 4/5 ZAZA MIX GRILL ~ kofte, chicken gyro, lamb and beef gyro, chicken kebab, lamb kebab. Comes with rice, salad, and hummus. The kebab meats were tender and juicy, while the gyro meats were on the drier side. Their chicken broth Jasmine rice was perfectly cooked and one of the best we've had! You can taste every grain and it was neither mushy nor dry. And so flavorful and delicious! The salad had a tangy dressing and hummus was smooth and tasty. 4/5 We were served by Yakov, who was pleasant and friendly. He even gave us hot Turkish tea while we sat at the doorway. He knew it was a cold evening and offered to move us as soon as a table was free. We even chatted about our travels as he's a big traveler and is multi-lingual! We had a fascinating conversation and enjoyed the food. Glad we stopped by to try Zaza Grill!

I've yet to order something i didn't like. the staff is super friendly and Im constantly impressed with how fast they get everything done when it's really busy on the weekend. including kitchen staff because food comes out pretty fast for the labor that goes into cooking it. this place is really cozy. would be the ideal place to catch up with friends or family or have a casual brunch date. lots of extra outdoor seating, which is phenomenal on a nice day.

I had been coming here for over 7 years, I had never had a waitress screamed at me at my table…read morebecause I gave my dog water from the plastic cup, and kept saying she has to threw the plastic cup in the trash because I used it to give my 14 years old dog water, I waited for someone to Come and asked but we did not even got utensils until the food came , all she did was just kept screaming like I cannot understand, of course I did and it was crystal clear and she angrily continued for several More times, she did not give me the time to respond, then walked away and I did not think she wanted to bring me another glass of water, then finally she did and kept saying the same thing, " I threw the cup in the trash because of my dog had some water from it, kept saying the cup is for human not for dogs. I know what I did and I heard her loud and clear, but she said it like want us to leave because she looks so angry. I will be more than glad to pay for it, but she made us all Felt like we were stupid not understanding, we should had just left but we just came back from Burlingame and wanted to go to Cafe Central but the line was impossible to wait, so we said let's just go to our favor spot which is Brother's cafe. But after today experience we will not return, she did not even came by and asked if the food was okay or if we need anything else, we had to ask someone else for a paper cup. It took her a few minutes before she brought me another cup of water and repeat the same thing again and again that she threw the plastic cup in the trash because of me. The worst part we notice she was eyeing in us and told her coworkers, as we left the waiter that normally come by gave my sister a hug and we can tell, he said see you guys next week... which it will not happen. She did not need to scream so many times and repeated herself so many times even the table next to us just turn around and said what is the big deal. Yes I should had know better but my 14 year old dog was happen and issue with the heat from Burlingame. I love this place but after the server ( Latina women with glasses mid 30's-40's)not just try and give us a lecture and scream at me and kept telling me because of what I did she throw the plastic cup away, instead she could be more calm and use a better wording we would had enjoyed our late breakfast. She only had to say it once but she made a comment that is not expected, by eyeing us from afar and we feel Like she wanted us to leave, we could not enjoy today's meal. This is a restaurant not a home do some respect for your self and your customers. Thank you for the last 7 years of food, we had enjoyed every Sunday since. By the way I would be more than happy to pay for the plastic cup, and I am sorry this upset her so much she made us felt like we are not welcome anymore. I had a business in San Francisco and my employees know better than to behave with such attitude.
