50 Best Cafes near Pacifica

“In a sea of personal choice disappointments in one measured area or another arrive Trish and Becca, two lovely women inhabiting a cafe just off Palmetto Ave serving ambrosial fare in such an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, including their company, I didn't want to leave. Prior to a recent visit, I had not tried an acai bowl. What a pleasant surprise! I could not stop thanking Becca for allowing me to try her version of same and would like to say thank you for the conversation and ambiance. Excellent music choices. Simply wonderful.“

“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.“

“Came in with my friend while visiting the area and I enjoyed the experience from the time I called ahead to ask a question until we were leaving out and satisfied. When we came in there was an amazing aroma from the fresh baked goods and the owner was so sweet and warm ❤️. I got a bowl and being someone that tries to avoid added sugar and processed foods, I was well accommodated. There was also scripture cards on one of the tables that I absolutely loved! Overall I would definitely recommend and I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.“

“good food Coffey and people“

“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!“

“My local sibling brought me here for breakfast after a hiking trip. The Brisket Hash and sourdough toast hit the spot! The hot sauces completed a perfect package. My wife didn't speak while there were still Loc Benedict on her plate, and our coffee cups never emptied. Staff were genuinely friendly and excited to tell us about other restaurants in the city to try while visiting. Portions were hearty, and I would have happily paid more for the experience. This is a must-return spot for me!“

“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.“

“Favorite Portuguese egg tarts in the city and cheapest. Come here if you want to taste authentic flavors. This one nails it though it is very unassuming and hole in the wall feel bakery. They often sell out so I recommend coming in the mornings. Other people frequently order 5 or more at a time so they run out. If you see a line of old chinese people ordering, you know it is good.“

“5stars means it's genuinely the best I've had
These people make terrific breakfast burritos. I recommend the El Sancho. Chorizo and black beans. The flavor balance is perfect. The heat level is perfect. Herbs and pepper in the sausage and the beans all come through beautifully, balanced by the crema, and topped off with crunchy tater tots. It's a great burrito. Just be warned, if you go there anywhere near peak brunch time, expect to wait 30+ minutes for your burrito. That's just the reality for any best-in-class food in San Francisco these days.“

“Best coffee ☕️ and the best service“

“Great place and great coffee“

“Man, I’ve been addicted to this pistachio latte since my first sip. The first one I had was iced with the sweet foam on top next level. The second time I got it hot, and somehow it was just as good. Seriously, you can’t go wrong either way.

You guys have to check this place out. The best part is you’re supporting a local business, and the owner is an awesome dude who’s almost always there. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the shop and his customers.

Amazing coffee, great people, and a spot that’s definitely worth supporting!“

“had one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time at High Grounds Coffee House in Glen Park. I had the best omelette of my life here, made with spinach, olives, and mushrooms. I never would have thought to add olives to an omelette, but it added such an amazing depth of flavor. It came with a generous side of roasted potatoes, greens, and toast, and every component was cooked perfectly.

I also tried the chai, which was unique and genuinely delicious, not your typical cafe chai. On top of the incredible food, the owner/chef was incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell they really care about what they’re putting out. Can’t recommend this place enough, already planning my next visit!“

“Love this place!! Randomly chose this place (good gôogle reviews and in the neighborhood) to meet a friend for a hot drink. Was a little noshy, Got tempted by the menu and ordered the breakfast burrito, friend ordered avocado toast. Food was super delicious and garnished nicely. Made friends w the enthusiastic and gregarious staff. Enjoyed everything about this place! all the small touches, the awesome art on the wall and the welcoming comfy atmosphere made it a great first impression. Thanks Chris and "Papa" for some scrumptious food, perfection in a Mexican cocoa, and for making us feel like we came to exactly the right place. 😃😉☺️... I'm definitely gonna try the empanadas next time.!!!!“

“The food there is very amazing!! Been going there for 2 years now! Met the owner Teresa since 2 years too! She's very nice and has wonderful passion for the sandwich business! As always, keep up the wonderful work!“

“The ice coffee ☕ was delicious and pastries“

“This place is a gem! Their food is incredibly sophisticated and delightful. The guy running it us really kind and helpful. And there are great outdoor spots nearby to eat. Definitely considering coming here for lunch, breakfast or a smoothie! (By the way, they are NOT located in an office complex. It's a really nice community center, with a cool garden/playground.)“

“great service, delicious sandwiches“

“Lovely place, it was my first time and seems like they have a good stream of locals. Folks at the counter were very friendly. I was able to sit inside and enjoy a breakfast burrito. Didn't ask them about Wi-Fi (the network is not open but I think may be available) but the seating was suitable for taking a quick meeting with some good headphones that filter light music noise. Would go back for the friendly staff and tasty burrito!“

“Good people, good food, good prices!“

“One of my favorites in SF! Food/wine list constantly changing with seasonal offerings. The team delivers excellent and efficient service as well. It's compact but not overly loud. Sitting at the bar next to the open kitchen is a great way to experience Buddy.“

“Amazing food & amazing staff!!“

“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.“

“Taffi's breakfast and brunch selections are delicious. I especially like the smash burger and kale salad (yeah, but not at the same time!). More importantz the owner and his entire team are consistently warm and friendly. We love our neighrhood cafe!“

“This place is in a perfect location in the Sunset. It's across the street from a school and the public library and is on a street lined with little coffee shops, snack shops, bobba shops and fun places for kids to snack. Within the 3 blocks it is located at there are a ton of fun things to snack on or drink but this place has its own treats as well.

I bring my little ones here to slurp up on some Hawaiian Ice. It's a nice after school treat.“

“It’s an amazing stop! So friendly and welcoming! The A.5 is delicious as a NYC bagel & cream cheese/lox option. Super flavorful for those who aren’t looking for a hot breakfast. With that said, take a tour of the hot burritos. You won’t be disappointed. First time here, but feels like my favorite neighborhood spot for years. You should come visit for sure! 10/10“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by after being at the beach and it was so delicious! I got the tonkotsu and he got the miso ramen. It was phenomenal. We have only one at our home city in Indiana and this blew it out of the water! The waitress was super sweet and the vibes were nice. I cannot stress enough how tasty the food was!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great food and super friendly staff. We tried avocado toast and mocha. Turned out that they messed up our mocha and gave us a latte. They were extremely busy on a long weekend so I didn’t bother to ask them to fix it. They would have definitely fixed my order but I was okay with a latte too!“

“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!“

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

“I flew in to San Francisco from Philadelphia. I stopped into the business Moonlight Cafe located in the Bernal Heights area.
The atmosphere and food were great.
Next time am back in the bay area I plan to make this my to go place. They serve various food and breakfast all day you sure can't go wrong and the prices are reasonable.
The atmosphere is cozy, friendly, and very very clean.
This cafe has my full support!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“After seeing Ivonnie S.' popcorn chicken photos, I needed to come to Foam Tea House. Their popcorn chicken bento box w/milk tea $16 was indeed good. I liked how there's basil in the popcorn chicken and came with a little thing of spicy Taiwanese powder. The egg rolls were the Costco type, not that there's anything wrong with that. For Taiwanese bentos, I would have preferred a traditional pickled egg or vegetables instead. Food came out quick. Good job Foam Tea House staff member and thank you Ivonnie for always posting useful content.

Background: This location used to be a bakery for a long time. Rolling Out Bakery used to have some good croissants, egg tarts and kouign amanns. The nerd card store Versus Games is still here. The card shop was packed full of people playing card games like Pokemon or Magic taking up all the parking.“

“I came here for the Precita Lights event tonight. They had free food and alcoholic drinks for $5. Live entertainment. Had a great time. Will definitely return!“

“Great sandwiches. We love many of the specialty sandwiches and make your own options. The only problem is they don’t provide a ‘no meat’ option on build your own sandwich for vegetarians. 😀🙁“

“Ordered coffee for an event and everyone was commenting on how delicious the coffee was! Thank you!! Xoxo We also tried that Cannoli’s and Goodness!! They are so yummy and presented adorably!“

“Banana Foster French toast and their freshly squeezed orange juice.“

“Excellent service 👍 The place very clean…👌“

“Small specialty coffee shop with some unique drinks, items and pastries. There are a few tables and chairs outside. My friend ordered a matcha drink and I ordered an iced Americano. My Americano was on the acidic side and quite strong.“

“Donuts were served warm and fresh, and every bite was perfection. The coffee was equally delicious and paired perfectly with everything.

The highlight of my visit was the service. Brianna was so kind and welcoming. Watching her carefully prepare my order and then personally bring it out with the sweetest smile made the whole experience feel extra special. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and as a local, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to again and again“
