A nice breakfast/lunch spot. We had breakfast and it was well worth the cost. Nice staff too.

Closes 2pm.

A family run restaurant that makes just run-of-the-mill quality food. Which does not seem to deter locals from patronizing. My visit was at noon and the tables were nearly full and the take out orders were plentiful. My generous size hamburger was merely okay. Actually the 6 ounce meat patty was flavorless. I told Barbara that it was merely meat-like texture, actually a little rubbery chewy for ground beef. I added Cholula hot sauce to make it tasty enough to finish, even though I was hungry. Side of Cole slaw also was just okay, nothing special. Bambie noted for the quality, the prices seemed a bit elevated. The rent in this shopping center must be high. Nice server was helpful, cheerful and attentive. Dining room looks 1960's vintage. Bathroom is old but clean. Next time I'm driving while hungry through Pacifica, I'll seek out another eatery.

Sunrise Cafe & Grill 1241 Linda Mar Shopping Ctr, Pacifica, CA 94044 (650) 359-3811 sunrise-cafe-and-grill.wa-cafe.com Weekend of August 3rd. * This year I made sure to have breakfast at Sunrise before leaving Pacifica. * Danger! Danger! There is a Ross Department store nearby. * Warmly greeted and offered coffee 1 minute after I sat down. * I ordered what was recommended the most by the locals I spoke with. The Joe's Special- Ground beef, Italian sausage, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. I requested for extra extra feta cheese. A must for my omelette is feta cheese. Extra crispy on my hash browns. Wheat buttered toast. * My coffee cup was never empty, she was very kind enough to make sure it was always filled. Thank you. * A must when in Pacifica. Breakfast at Sunrise. Lunch at The Breakers. Dinner at Nick's.

Came here for breakfast on accident. Originally wanted to go to another spot where they had fresh brewed coffee but wait was too long. When we got here, thankfully got seated right away. The menu options are like any other mom and pop shop very simple, no boujee coffee and also no kids menu. Place is small and can get loud (we did have my twin nephews so we contributed to the loudness that day). Our server Maria was friendly. She was a little busy and we could tell. I will say our breakfast tasted good and fresh (you know what I mean). Our overall experience was good. I was thinking 3***for this spot. I asked my sis in law what I should rate the place, she said 4****.

Huevos Rancheros, no hashbrowns

I love how local and convenient this place. I sometimes forget it is in town. Came in here for a quick breakfast and left full after a hearty breakfast with a decent amount of breakfast choices. Everything was cooked to perfection, the portions hearty and wait staff friendly. The ambiance is your typical diner, clean and all the condiments on the table. There was only one chef so it took a hot minute for us to get food, but everything was served hot and delicious. We will be back more often!

Now open for dine-in. Perfect breakfast after mass.

Lived in Pacifica for over 20 years and this is my first time visiting this cafe. Looking to find a quick breakfast meal and found this open for dine-in. Came just after 10am and was seated immediately. Host and waitresses are very friendly and attentive to your needs. Water and coffee is always filled. Great menu selection; better than Denny's in food and service! Will definitely come back again to try other meals in menu

Small old school diner. Nice basic breakfast but $20 for the basic with 3 eggs a bit steep! Additionally, the place is small with the kitchen on back wall so can get a bit loud in "kitchen" - But if you want a nice simple breakfast - eggs cooked just like you asked , hash browns- browned up perfectly - meat and toast-with great service while hanging with the locals - you can't go wrong!

Wow. What a great find. We walked by it a few times and never noticed it. Going in transported me back to my childhood with long counter and leather booths. Service is exceptional. 1 line cook calm and cool gets food out fast . Food portions are large even drinks are large. I can't wait to come back

Added a little Cholula!

Every visit to Pacifica, CA, we have breakfast at Sunrise Cafe. They have the BEST omelets! There is an option to "create your own" omelette, which is the route we take. I have egg whites, Spinach, broccoli, feta, and zucchini with avocado on top. Ohhhh man!!! It doesn't get any better than this! I must confess, there was another breakfast cafe next to our hotel which we tried when I was told, "I can make that kind of omelette for you" from the owner. I truly felt like I was cheating on Sunrise Cafe! Well, let's just say, we will continue to have breakfast at Sunrise because the other place didn't make my omelette like Sunrise can! I will never cheat on Sunrise Cafe again. Oh and I must say, at Sunrise, you can have home potatoes or hash browns, whichever You Like! Sunrise will do it Right! I swear, it's the Best Way to Start Your Day!!!

This breakfast place was located in the shopping center. It was a decent place. Service was a little slow and I didn't get a refill of water. Also notice that we got smaller glasses of water and the table next to us got larger glasses of water. Breakfast was great! Cant really mess up bacon, eggs and toast!

Melisa Z.

I had the egg and bacon with 1 slice of french toast. Delicious. Coffee was good and hot. Friendly staff.

Buona Italia Caffe - Caprese

Buona Italia Caffe

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

Stopped in here for dinner on our stay here in Pacifica. We were excited to see this eatery had 4.8…read morestars The place was small inside but has a nice ambiance that makes it fill intimate! The gentleman that took our order was very polite and helpful. We ordered: 1. Clam linguine- small portion for the price, and lacked flavor. It tasted more like butter noodles with a side of clams (this was Mentioned by other yelpers). 2. Chicken Parmigiano- it was edible but it was drenched in a marina sauce that tasted like tomato sauce. There wasn't much season or salt. Normally the sauce serves as a compliment to the chicken cutlet. The chicken was drowned in the sauce to the point it became soggy. The green beans that were served with it were actually cooked perfectly. 3. Homemade gnocchi- another dish that was drowned in tomato sauce which caused the gnocchi to be overcooked. We were really wanting to enjoy this place. And for the first time all of the low star reviews were spot on about this restaurant.

There are some drawbacks like the wobbly tables that never seem to be fixed, excessive dust accumulation above the bench seating, and sometimes the barista playing music too loud. However, now that I've gotten the negative out of the way, let me illuminate the positivity that this place has brought into my life ever since I first came here when I was 9 years old. The Chit Chat Cafe has been a staple for my artistic expression. A home base for my writing and drawing hobbies and a lovely stop off for weekend tunes or to people watch. It seems like there's always at least one person in there reading the newspaper while sipping coffee, or working on their laptop with their headphones on. The baristas have always been friendly, especially Tyler! Such a cool dude w/ charming charismatic energy! I have completed two stamp cards in the past 2 years at this location and the one on the pier. I remember coming here in the storm one day, in 2015, when I was on my bike, locking my bike outside and having hot cocoa & a glass of water, with the wind & rain pounding against the glass. It was such a magical experience, that I decided this would be in my all-time top three cafes in Pacifica. Thank you for staying in business as long as I can remember & providing an authentic Cafe experience in Pacifica! You rock, Chit Chat Cafe! (Gaah I need to take pictures when I write these reviews. Will update upon next visit!)

Oof. Baristas still play music way too loudly…read more And some of them still need some customer service skills. Why am I getting grief for a mistake she makes?

This was my first visit to this establishment,but will return soon to try their prime rib dinner,…read moreas I was a bit too early this time to enjoy it. My daughter and I enjoyed the French dip and Rueben sandwiches with fries, both were tasty, their fries were perfect. The restaurant is clean, the service we receive from Flor our server was above expectations and extremely professional, she was knowledgeable and answer our questions with ease. We were there for dinner, but also looking for a venue for my eldest daughter's baby shower and we found it! We hope to connect with the owner soon to set the date, menu and start planning.

Definitely a locals spot for old people. Sharp Park Restaurant is not on any restaurant guides…read more That's the charm of it for me. There aren't a lot of these places left. The bar was full and no one was in the dining room. Empty at 6:30pm. The prime rib $35 (Fri/Sat only) comes with either soup or salad. Only Fridays will have the clam chowder. The warm bread is so good here. I love the generous butter tray. The soft butter spreads so easily over the warm bread. Instead of the baked potato, I always get the garlic fries at no extra charge. The prime rib is OK, a bit chewy and not aged or herb crusted. I had a hard time finishing it as it got tedious after a few bites. It tasted too plain and needed the au jus and horseradish to be edible. You figure the service would be better as I'm the only food customer. No. The waitress was talking to some customers at the bar most of the time. My water didn't arrive until after my food after I asked for it again. Regardless, she is a long time employee and I'll cut her some slack. Most of the time, she knows what I will order before I say it. I didn't see her elementary school aged daughter hanging out tonight. Sometimes she will wait on tables for her mom, bringing water, extra napkins etc. That's so cute.
