27 Best Cafes near Half Moon Bay

“Our first time there. Good food, comfortable place.👍👍“

“Great coffee and atmosphere!“

“Ryan is the BEST!! Great Uber fresh food delivered or ready for pick up daily“

“The service is friendly but basic. The place decoration is simple and nice. The food tastes good but…
If you are vegetarian you are fine but if you are vegan is way more complicated as the dishes don't have a clear list of ingredients and the salsas are a mistery, they just bring to the table with no explanation. The allegedly vegan soup have some ghee butter flavor.
Very affordable prices.“

“Fiero Cafe is truly a hidden gem in San Mateo! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and authenticity behind everything they do. Filippo Guarino, the owner, pours his heart into every dish, and it shows. His handcrafted Italian food is nothing short of extraordinary, fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and the kind of attention to detail you only find in true Italian cooking.

I tried the catzo sandwich, and it was fantastic, perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. On top of the food, Filippo makes you feel like family, welcoming you with warmth and genuine hospitality.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in the Bay Area, Fiero Cafe is a must. Do yourself a favor and go, you’ll leave planning your next visit before you even walk out the door.“

I ordered the vegetarian omelet! 😋“

“Must try 🍽️
Berry French Toast ( Best ) 🍓
It had a chocolate filling ( tastes like Cadbury dairy milk), perfectly cooked, not too sweet and covered w strawberries.

Tomato mozzarella sandwich
Fresh , the bread was a little hard but the flavor made up for it!!
Comes with a side salad!!

Overall, the place was chill and cute. Perfect spot for a brunch. The food is a win. Totally recommend it to anyone who loves healthy drinks and yum food.“

“Had Breakfast here during our stay in San Mateo. Our Hotel was nearby and didn't serve breakfast, after a quick search, decided to check out this place. Glad we did, great Coffee and Food. This was the first place we visited during our trip to San Francisco. It's located in an Office Building, lots of parking. What we loved too was how everyone here knew each other. Staff were very warm and friendly. Will definitely visit again.“

“Nice cozy atmosphere, tasty açaí bowls. This would be a nice place to take kids; in the corner they have a cute little table with toys and crayons. The owner has a friendly and nice attitude.

One little thing that could be improved is if more vegan options were added that would be good.“

“sandwich great cookies. great friendly owners“

“I really enjoyed my Friday morning visit around 10 a.m. There was about a 5-minute wait, a short line, and all the chairs were taken, lots of people standing around and the space was loud and crowded. I was meeting a friend, and even in the bustle we were able to have a wonderful conversation. By about 10:30, the crowd thinned out, and we found a table to enjoy not just our conversation but also some delicious coffee.

She ordered a flat white and loved it, saying it had a caramel-like taste. I had the Tahitian vanilla latte with oat milk (so good!) and an avocado toast. Next time, I’ll definitely order the avocado toast with an egg and try the miso latte the barista recommended.

The café has seating for maybe 15–20 people, either individually or paired up. Overall, a great spot, I’ll definitely be back!“

“Super cute little cafe! Has nice jazz music playing along with friendly staff! I had the half & half combo with the turkey Italiano sandwich & the broccoli cheddar soup & a bottle of water which came out to 16.55 total..Both very good and would reccomend! Has indoor and outdoor seating.“

“The food was incredible and they had such a nice staff. I got an iced chai and by far one of the best I’ve had. Then for the service I had ordered sausages and noticed they didn’t come for a while. After I mentioned it they immediately made new ones and even gave me a free cookie even though I didn’t expect anything. Great service!

Atmosphere is also really nice. Very nice in doors and beautiful outdoor seating“

“Step into France. The croissant are perfect - and so many choices. I love to go on homemade pasta day.“

“Great place for Asian drinks!“

“Nice, quiet spot where you order up front and they bring the food to you. I got the eggs benedict and it was cooked perfectly. Also I loved the hash brown as it was one crispy, delicious rectangle. Bottomless coffee and nice people. Would totally come back.“

“Peter's Cafe is a very old and very nice place for breakfast. The atmosphere, food and service is very much like an IHOP. The service is always very efficient and friendly, and the ommlets are really good.
Service is fast if you ask for it.“
