    Prime Rib Dip

    Think Cafe has a delicious plate for every craving. The friendly service, the upper level cafe decor and the delicious food make this place a great date night or a casual lunch spot. The menu has terrific breakfast plates, light lunch and full meal dinner options that are sure to please all. There's plenty of lot parking and street parking.

    Salmon Benedict
    Jasmine H.

    This place has quietly become one of my go-to brunch spots. I've been to Think Cafe three times now and every visit has been a win. First time was brunch with coworkers after a weekend work event. Great food, strong mimosas, and an easy vibe that made it perfect for decompressing together. The steak benedict was rich and satisfying, and the salmon benedict on another visit was fresh and perfectly balanced. Second visit really sealed it for me. I stopped by solo with my dog and needed a receipt from almost a month earlier for an expense report. They went out of their way to help me track it down without any attitude or rush. Genuinely kind and accommodating. Third time was brunch with a friend, dog in tow again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Classic California weather, patio seating, sunshine, and mimosas. Exactly the kind of place you want to linger.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Consistently good food, great drinks, and service that actually cares. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you like brunch that feels relaxed but still done right, this is it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken piccata. Wow, amazing.
    Michael K.

    I have always enjoyed going to think café, but tonight I had their Chicken Piccata and it was superb. I felt like I was transported back to Italy. Service is always excellent. Very friendly and checking in to make sure everything is going well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like their covered outdoor patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu has many options so you can always find what you're in the mood for and they seem to do everything really well.

    My friend held her baby shower here and what an amazing experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a cute, private space to the side of the restaurant, parking was free in their lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their food was absolutely delicious, I opted for their salmon dish and the service was phenomenal.

    Pasta dinner SO tasty
    Judy a.

    First time here. My husband loved his pasta dinner. I wanted the tuna tower. They had to take it back. It wasn't what I wanted. I wanted it to be a tower. There was no tower. It still tasted OK. It was nothing to write home about but they made up for with my husband Dinner.. bread was really good. Will be back to give them another chance.

    Eggs Benedict with hash brown
    Jennifer M.

    The food was good and service was ok , the waitress was rushing to take our order but she was still nice , The only thing I didn't like was we found a roach walking inside the establishment and already I wanted to leave but we had already got our food lol we did tell the waiter and he got it and they gave us a free churro waffle which was good . My mom got a Bloody Mary and she said it was pretty watered down but the food was pretty good. Not sure if I would go back again but there is plenty of parking and dining apace.

    My husband and I were taking a cruise out of San Pedro and wanted to grab a little snack before boarding the ship. We found this place on yelp, and I'm glad we stopped in. We shared the "Choice of Two $10" and ordered half of a tuna sandwich and a bowl of Clam Chowder. Both items were delicious, and the service was excellent. We want to try breakfast and other items here. We will be back soon!

    Fresh Ahi Tuna Tower appetizer. Delicious and generous
    Carolyn P.

    This is an attractive casual restaurant with a great menu. Barbara was our server, her service was friendly, prompt & on point. The meal begins with French bread with a unique & scrumptious dipping sauce. We had their fresh tuna tower. The presentation was attractive and this starter is delicious and generous. My friend had their crisp Caesar Salad which she enjoyed. I had the French Onion Soup. It was good but not exceptional. The menu is varied & interesting. If you're looking for a tasty meal and good service in San Pedro, check out the Think Cafe.

    A true gem in the neighborhood! I ordered the macadamia nut salad, which was generously loaded with tender chicken, warm goat cheese, creamy avocados, and sweet strawberries, all perfectly dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette. Every bite was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the bar seating provided a relaxed, comfortable vibe. Plus, parking was convenient with an available lot. Definitely a spot worth visiting again! Bon appetite!

    We don't come to San Pedro much except to stop by the Cruise Port, so when there was an opportunity to have brunch nearby the port while my brother and I were transferring cruise ships on our back2back Royal Caribbean cruises, my wife and her neighbor/friend drove out and joined us to make a party of 4. Think Cafe is close by the port, and is open from 9 am to 9 pm everyday. It's a big menu, with food choices from all parts of the day. Our group found the service to be good, and the food to be edible to good. The Think brand has three restaurants in San Pedro, with the middle child Cafe being opened in 1997. It has fairly broad menu, with it longevity meaning menu items have been probably constantly rotated per customer's demands. There is free angled street parking right in front, with spots available even though the inside of the restaurant was fairly busy. We were seated immediately and given water and menus by the busboy. My choice was something I'll almost always order if I see it on the menu: Loco Moco ($15). Unfortunately, this version wasn't great...starting with the rice which tasted like instant and the very plain brown gravy. However, the eggs were excellently prepared as over easy, giving me the yellow yolk run that I like over the "white" rice. And the hamburger patty was good, not too dense or greasy, with a decent amount of heft to make it clear it was real meat. Nobody else at the table complained or overly praised the meal...it was diner food level and met expectations. [Country Chicken and Eggs for $20, and two croque madames ($15 each)]. I did get a chance to take a bite out of the croque, and I really liked the bread (though my brother wished it had been toasted a lot more)...the amount of filling was OK. All came with potato, and everyone ordered hash browns (crispy on the edges), which seemed to be enjoyed. And like my dish, the egg in each dish seemed to be the highlight. Service was friendly and easy natured, with the busyness causing some little delays, that a friendly prompt fixed. With the broadness of the menu, it's easy to understand why some of the items underwhelmed a bit...I'm sure items will keep changing as times (and customer's tastes) keeps evolving.

    1/2 BLT along with a cup of clam chowder and oyster crackers
    Kenneth B. T.

    I always like to check on consistency of the taste, amount of food portions and customer service among other things. I placed one of my go to orders via Ubereats- 2 Item Combo (1/2 BLT and a cup of clam chowder) and a small caesar salad with extra dressing- all for $15.00 (excluding taxes)- of course I requested in the comments section for some complimentary (served for dine-in) sourdough bread and extra butter. Immediately after placing the order- I called and talked to Ingrid about my order- basically before I could talk- she said- don't worry- I/we have the bread covered. Remember to order clam chowder whenever you dine-in/deliver- it's very good- along with the complimentary table side bread. I know the restaurant ambiance is very good in my dine-in experiences of the past.

    Steak Benedict was on point
    Tim P.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food, drinks, service and ambiance were perfect and I definitely recommend this spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing they missed on was the outdoor section being closed when we went--but we already know we are definitely going back so hopefully next time we will get to try the out doors area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was super on point and even caught some things I didn't realize and she gave us some pro-tips. The food was absolutely amazing and we really enjoyed our meal. Good to have this spot in the book of good restaurants to visit. We are going to be heading to san pedro more so they will see us again! Thanks

    Is there any free parking space on think cafe, when I arrive there?

    You can park right in front. I can't remember if they're Meter or not. There is also parking on the side of the building, Inside the parking lot.

    Easily obsessed with this place now. We've only gone once, but we love it…read more We were heading back to LA from doing something in Long Beach, and wanted to stop and have a drink somewhere quick. This place popped up, and it was happy hour. So we thought why not. We got lucky and found parking close (rare for that street). And walked over and immediately loved the vibe. We walked in and were greeted immediately, and then brought upstairs. The decor on the way up was awesome. The old school nature, with paintings and abstract vintage pieces.. love. It felt like we were in an old industrial building. We were surprised that it was pretty empty when we got up there. We sat at the bar, and love the decor upstairs too. There's a view of the street from up there as well that's beautiful. The bartender greeted us fairly quickly, and we each ordered a speciality cocktail on their happy hour. Both were delicious. I will say that the prices are a bit steep for me. Very glad we came during the happy hour. But really want to return to try the food and more drinks. Maybe on a special date night out!

    When we arrived to the restaurant, I noticed that the downstairs main dining was more on the formal…read more dining side. It was well air-conditioned and very appealing. We chose to sit on the rooftop to eat. We really enjoyed the vibe as it was lively and casual. The tables were picnic style with bench seats. I love the way the bar was set up as it was fun and on the tropical side. It was a hot day so we enjoyed the overhead covering. Approximately an hour after we arrived, they did turn on a rather large fan, which made it much more comfortable in the heat. Our server, Ryan was very personable and he made some great suggestions We ordered off of the happy hour menu in which we ordered some Bistro fries. They were very crispy and we really enjoyed the sauce that it came with. We both ordered off of the Special Dine LA menu that's is offered twice a year. The Brussels Sprouts were crispy yet tender. They were flavorful tasty. I ordered the Filet Medallions. Unfortunately, I had to send my plate back as the meat was more medium rare, and I asked for medium. I have to say that it did return pretty quick and it was cooked perfectly. The meat was very tender and seasoned well. My husband or the Chicken Milanese and the lemon sauce was delightful For dessert, I ordered the Gateaux chocolat and it was decadent. My husband ordered the butterscotch bread pudding and he loved it. Overall, the food was very tasty and we will come back and try the downstairs dining. We will definitely come back for the rooftop dining when the weather cools down.

    The food was great! No complaints there. The service however, was absurd! Actually, non-existent…read more The table next to us literally had to go to the bar and retrieve their own drinks. No one checked on us, it took way too long to get served and when we finally did, it was with an attitude. Our appetizer order was also forgotten. The restaurant had only 2 tables of guests, including us. Shocking for a Saturday night. So the excuse of being busy isn't going to fly here. We will not be back. Although I enjoyed the food, being ignored and treated like crap doesn't make it worth it. If you want decent food, excellent service by the sea, I'd recommend going to Redondo Beach or Hermosa Beach. ANYWHERE but here!

    Let's not get political (please) - it's Yelp after all…read more I chose here this year for my husband's annual birthday brunch! He loves a decadent brunch. Who doesn't? And after a number of years patroning the Four Season's Beverly Hills brunch on Doheny I wanted to try something new. There's not many decadent, birthday worthy brunch options in our post Covid world. So when I found this one, read the menu and saw the price point I was ALL in. And my goodness it blew last year at the four seasons away by a lot!!! (They dipped significantly after Covid - not the same value). The Trump had EVERYTHING you could want in a brunch. Sushi, free flowing champagne, prime rib, crepes, crab, waffles, eggs Benedict, pancakes, chocolate dipped fruit, breads, bagels, cheeses, salad, Korean short ribs, shrimp, shrimp scampi, pasta, omelettes, oysters, fruit & figs, and sausage & bacob. I know for a fact I am missing offerings. It was world class, A+ with live music and wonderful service. The views of the pacific were gorgeous on our blustery day. My goodness it was so pretty. We were not rushed at all. It wasn't cramped or crowded. I loved it! And I'd definitely make this a recurring birthday treat for him. It was absolutely worth it.
