50 Best Cafes near Pacifica

“Stopped in for coffee, a very kind gentleman agreed to sit with my 11.5 month old Golden Retriever outside. Nice woman behind counter said my dog was welcomed in, my dog doesn't have enough manners to go inside, yet!
Ordered an Americano, kind woman asked if I'd like an ice cube in coffee, as it was way too hot to drink. Glad she was thinking as it was perfect!! Still hot, love LOVE my HOT black coffee. Without the 1 ice cube, I would have to wait for caffeine consumption!
The other woman behind the counter was making a beautiful bowl.. not sure what it was but it looked delicious!!!! Going back this week to try !!!

The gentleman that sat with my dog volunteers with human society and he educated me on the correct walking leash for my dog and informed me of puppy classes!! Super grateful, as I just moved from Detroit!

Great restaurant to stumble upon! Highly recommend!“

“Cute place, friendly service, nice atmosphere, great white hot chocolate.“

“Great friendly cafe, right on Pacifica’s beach. Lots of whale watching and hang gliders nearby. Super music on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am until 4pm.“

“good food Coffey and people“

“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.“

“I had the bulletproof coffee, light roast with half and half. It is so delicious even with no sweetener. I highly recommend you stop in, the staff is super friendly and fast.“

“Customer service is great!“

“our waitress was so nice! i got the eggs benedict and potatoes with cheddar cheese it was AMAZING! my husband got the taraval special with eggs, sausage and pancakes and the pancakes were so nice and fluffy, so delicious!! THE OJ AND LEMONADE IS ¡FRESH! PLEASE TRY IT!“

“Solid burrito, nothing special. I had the OG, I felt it lacked a distinct flavor. The tots are a great addition. If you live in the area, definitely a place to check out, but not worth it to travel to and wait in the 30+ min line that is there at 1030am“

“I walk by here all the time with my dogs. I was dogfree and got to relax with a finjan qahwa - their house coffee. Was served in a cool cup and the coffee pot used to make the coffee. Baklava was amazing. Definitely a great place to visit, not your typical hipster coffee shot.“

“i i went to your cafe today but they said its close its only 2pm … in the flyers it said there close at 3pm .“

“Great place and great coffee“

“The egg tarts here are smooth, creamy, and reasonably priced! Coffee comes as a dark roast, strongly flavored if you're into that. My Chinese parents have much good to say about the fundamental baked goods, the egg tarts, pineapple buns, and cocktail buns.“

“Went here twice in two days while staying at the Hyatt Regency. A really cute little place that opens early and closes late. Their specialty drinks are excellent. I didnt stay for a game, but it seems like a great place for a board game night with friends.“

“The food, AMAZING. The Nutella crepe was really light and fluffy tasting and I wouldn’t consider it as an overpowering sweetness. The decor was really cute really gave a vintage vibe. The wait was kind of long (15-20 min)but not really considering there were two workers. (I think everyone was talking about 1 person cooking all the food and 1 person serving the food and helping out in the kitchen, and yes the cook is really old, very impressive)“

“Great coffee, friendly service, good for plane spotting!“

“La Joya offers a truly unique flavor experience. The tortillas are made from corn, giving them that authentic, homemade touch. The meat is wonderfully seasoned, very tender, and absolutely delicious. I especially recommend the carne asada quesadillas they’re definitely the star of the show. In short, it’s an experience well worth trying.

I want to highlight the excellent customer service. The attention, kindness, and commitment make the difference. Without a doubt, an experience worth repeating.“

“I’m a huge fan of dirty chai lattes and I’m always searching for who has the best. The dirty chai at Antigua is definitely near the top of the list for me. Not too sweet and not too spicy which is the way I like them. Will def be back for the chai. Pastries were also delicious. Haven’t tried the food yet but looks like it would be amazing.“

“Excellent espresso coffee, friendly service and a lovely brunch menu. I look forward to returning sometime for dinner. The chef’s were prepping a range of fresh looking ingredients and the smells emanating from the kitchen were beautiful!“

“great service, delicious sandwiches“

“Best coffee ☕️ and the best service“

“Absolutely fantastic. Meat was super soft and flavors were on point. It looks like a small shop but everyone in the restaurant was happy with service, food and music. Chef and other workers were very kind and attentive. Couldn’t recommend this place enough to people coming to San Francisco. Most bang for your buck.“

“What a great work/study cafe spot! It’s part of the Southeast community center. Lots of space, light, outlets, and free wifi. The staff are always super friendly! I’ve interacted with Ramsy several times and he’s so kind! Not too many food options but what’s there is pretty good (yummy and healthy). Oftentimes I’ve come later in the day and they’ve run out of ingredients in dishes or drinks I’m interested in but the staff are always very accommodating and kind about it so it’s never felt like a problem. Have enjoyed and gone back many times!

Warning: adding smoked salmon to the lentil bowl was $4.50(!) and it was a very small amount, which I don’t think is worth it, so I wouldn’t recommend.“

“Amazing food & amazing staff!!“

“Super glad this place survived the pandemic.The staff are friendly, the shop has a classic feel that’s missing in most places, and the food! - you’ll never leave hungry. Even the regular sandwich size is well portioned. Bbq beef is my go-to.Love the smoothies as well. My favorite is the strawberry banana.“

“It was my first time here! It was a joyous visit“

“Good people, good food, good prices!“

“The ice coffee ☕ was delicious and pastries“

“Salmon crepe, potatoes crispy. Walnut raisin French toast, six(6!) pieces. Coffee. Order at counter, brought to table. Friendly, helpful, staff. Presentation and taste excellent! And plentiful. Not noisy, easy to talk. Staff accommodating for 2 larger groups that came in, two small street tables. Service not too long, no rush. Will come back to try other items.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs“

“I was around this area for the first time since I was visiting UCSF Pride Hall.

It was around lunch time and I wanted to grab some coffee and Luna’s appeared on the search.

I read on the Google reviews that their chicken teriyaki sandwich was excellent so I made up my mind to see what was the hub bub.

I enter the little cafe and I see it’s small but also quaint with its diner design. I meet one of the owners Khalil and he impressed me with his patience and hospitality.

I ordered the chicken teriyaki sandwich meal with a coffee for a drink.

The coffee was ok. Wasn’t coffee connoisseur levels of excellence but it got my cravings out of the way and it was nice to get oatmilk with it as a complimentary addition.

The fries were EXCELLENT with their flavor and crunch. The texture was crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The amount of oil used was just right to give the fries more flavor and not a greasy texture. The addition of salt and pepper added flavor to the fries.

Now for the big moment—chicken teriyaki sandwich. I got it with every complementary sandwich topping Luna’s offers and on a Dutch crunch bread. 1) I like Dutch crunch so I already had a good feeling about it. 2) I would have never guessed the toppings on the sandwich would work so well together with the chicken teriyaki. You either would be tasting the flavors of the toppings or you’d get a nice light chicken teriyaki flavor. Bonus is if you’re into that charred burnt grill end flavor (I am), you will pick up some of those notes.

I left Luna’s that day feeling energized before my walk to work and if I find myself in the area hungry, I’ll be sure to stop by again. Not to mention, it was pretty heartwarming to see regulars in the neighborhood come and go in and out of the cafe. Just shows me that Luna’s has made itself a valuable place in the neighborhood.“

“Everything good in this store, fantastic great job👍.“

“Columbian food - very authentic, flavorful and hearty.“

“I have been here many times mainly when I am craving for a doughnut or when I am in the area where I am in need of a quick bite. They have a wide selection of fresh doughnuts made daily, sandwiches, coffee, refrigerated drinks and much more. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where I never had encountered an issue during any of my visits. You can dine in at one of their tables or simply purchase for takeout if you decide to. I have to say this place is a plus, because there are little to none doughnut shops within the area. I highly recommend this place to all doughnut enthusiasts, if you need a quick snack for the morning of if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at Acova. The menu is very interesting and varied. My wife had fish and chips and I chose the beef short ribs. Both dishes were super. Our server was helpful and attentive. We appreciate the fairly low noise level so we could have a comfortable conversation. Thank you.“

“Wonderful neighborhood coffee shop! If Cheers was a coffee shop, then it’s where everybody knows your name and they are happy that you came. They offer superb coffees and tea - by the cup or in bulk! Sweet and savory treats abound and fun merchandise make this the ultimate daily stop!“

“Leila, the owner, was one of the nicest people I met in Mission. Not only her, but the people were so inviting. I can't recommend this enough for anyone who wants a lively night during the weekends, or a fun, calm, musical night for the weeknight evenings to destress and get your mind off things. The artwork is incredible, all hand made, by a local sculpturer and painter. You can stare at the walls for hours if you wanted to. There's games and sometimes even a movie playing! Lastly, if you're a fan of Sangria - I promise you, this will be the best Sangria you've tasted in San Francisco!“

“We stumbled upon this little nook accidentally. It is located in an industrial area and we were very impressed by the food and the service. The space they have created was surprisingly charming. We had coffee, breakfast sandwiches, salad and pastries...all fresh and very tasty!“

“OMG these are the cutest! My favorite is the Mango passion fruit eclair, one time I got it with the filling still frozen inside and it’s seriously even better 😆 I wish we can have that option haha! Anyway best wishes and thanks for the pleasant experience as usual.“

“Great food and love the outside seating. so quant and cozy. Chinese chicken salad is delicious. very friendly staff. I only wish they had the nutrition info next to the items on the menu for those of is that like to keep track.“

“They make a really good flat white & their pastries are quite delectable!🥰“

“Cannoli’s are way too sweet and I personally don’t like them. But I can recognize that this is the highest quality cannoli I’ve ever had, suuper rich cream! Very filling and satisfying to bite into.
I preferred the chocolate chip cannoli over the pistachio. The nutella latte is also very comforting 😊“

“I got a Salame Sandwich and small Mexican hot chocolate which I thought was good. I think the sitting area is decent but small with mainly bar stools. Luckily, the place wasn't crowded so sitting on the round table in the middle didn't feel squishy“

“Corner shop with a tight, tasty menu. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo and it took me back to a simpler time. My buddy switches between that and bacon because they are both so good.

The cafe con leche is sweet and delicious treat.“

“My daughter just brought me my first Thai Tea boba from Foam. (She always brings me a boba)

This place is legit! One of the best I've had in recent times. I'd take this over the "other Guys" anytime.“

“This review is particularly for the Ilna pop-up on Sunday nights. Maz, the chef, cooks with so much passion. He collects the best ingredients from local farmer's markets, even using his background as a wine maker to create special ferments, and shares his family's Lebanese origins with so much care in each dish. The meatball and prosciutto are not to be missed!“

“Muy buena atención Y muy delicioso 😋“

“Good for a quick bite. I like the local feel of the place but it can get very crowded, especially on the weekends so I'm glad for the outdoor tables. I like to stop by when I'm going to hang out near Ocean Beach. The food is tasty!“

“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.“

“I had to stop by Royal Donut Cafe because of all of the great reviews I saw on Yelp! And I must say that I wasn't disappointed at all! The staff was awesome! From the cashier, to the cooks, and the server. And I even got a chance to meet the owner, Terri, who has taken over the business for the past 15 years! Definitely going to be a regular here! I ordered the vegetarian omelet! 😋“

“I had a special house salad yesterday with grilled chicken that was super fresh and loaded with chicken, apples, walnuts and more. It was very fresh and the dressing was excellent. We appreciated having the outdoor seating option And inside was very bright and airy and well ventilated. Service was the best, thank you Lou!“
