50 Best Cafes near Pacifica

“I have to strongly disagree with whoever gave this place and one star review I have not met the owner personally.However, I plan to email her because I want to ask her to carry some of my crafts.The person who manages this coffee shop is the owner sister, and she is nothing short of fantastic, I visited this coffee shop with my mother and my two-year-old now and he nearly wanted to destroy the place.They were so kind and so nice she let us stay even after the place was closed so that he could finish his meal and I could finish my work.I have bought jewelry and the best sandwiches and pretty good coffee.Planning to stop by there this week and I hope those of you visiting Pacifica will also stop by and support this coffee shop and all the other local businesses down the street .❤️“

“Lovely cafe near the beach in Pacifica with a great patio giving you the choice of inside or outside dining. They have a bathroom that's always clean - I've been coming for years. Staff and the owner are very kind and get your order out quick. They make one of the best London Fogs in the city (called Pacifica Fog on their menu). Most baristas will go the easy route of brewing the tea in half a cup of hot water and pour milk for the remainder; not Cafe Pacifica! They make it the correct way by steaming your choice of milk and allowing the tea to brew in it. Not to mention, their bagels are amazing and made how you would at home - fully indulgent with lots of cream cheese.“

“Such a good spot with excellent food. We ordered a Cubano and a mocha for coffee, lite-eater and brekkie for food, and finally a pear tart. Everything was so good and we got to sit in the sunshine while enjoying it.Parking: Parking fills fast due to surfers. We parked in front of the grocery store“

“Lived out my Mischa Barton OC dreams by hanging out at the Bait Shop (i.e. Chit-Chat Café) at the pier this morning with my baby. Staff held the door open for me so I could maneuver the stroller inside. Prices are great, staff is super friendly and helpful, coffee is solid, and there are tons of food options. The ambiance is a charmingly worn coastsiders dream, complete with deteriorating vintage green stools. I'm bored of sleek monotone contemporary coffee shops, and much prefer a space like Chit-Chat that has so much character and is, I'm certain, home to quite a few characters as well.“

“Excellent food and a warm and inviting atmosphere. The one person behind the counter was a little sleepy but kept up with demand, an admirable trait. The acai bowls are good value, fresh and flavorful and quite filling! And you can't really beat pour-over coffee, just a pity it only comes in one size... Overall a mellow vibe and a nice way to kick off the day!“

“Most generous and delicious Tuna Melt in the world (we’ve traveled and we try the tuna melts!!) High tide calls their tuna melt, ocean side and that is a 2 minute walk. We eat ours siting on a log on the beach watching surfers and looking for whales. The service is kind, generous and great at making good “

“Excellent service and delicious food. Really loved the freshness of the crudo and the sandwich was very rich and perfect for sharing. Obviously great wine with a good selection of glasses and bottles available. Best to make a reservation because it's on the small side but definitely with a try.“

“Best breakfast burrito of my life hands down. The tater tots were crispy, eggs were flavorful and not dry, tortilla was warm and fresh. What a fantastic burrito. Also had a delicious piña fresa agua fresca. On top of the great food they are able to churn out orders so even though it was very busy the wait wasn’t bad at all.“

“First time here but had heard good things about New Taraval Cafe from others and it lived up to the rumors! I ordered the Smash Burger with grilled onions ($13) and it was fantastic! The burger had two patties and was so thick I couldn't fit my mouth around it. The whole thing was so moist (in a good way) that I couldn't keep it together. It was at least a three napkin burger and even then, the juices were running down my hands and wrists! It came with a side ofries and they were good as well. The only thing I would've wanted along with this burger would be a nice thick milkshake, but my calorie count would've never allowed it! Didn't even look to see if they offered shakes! My friend had the scrambled eggs with hash browns, toast, and bacon and she really enjoyed her meal. The eggs were cooked medium, so they looked moist. There were five strips of bacon (that's a LOT of bacon), all fried nice and crisp. The hash browns looked delicious; lots of crunchy parts and soft insides. She had two slices of sourdough toast with butter and jam, too, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (you can see the machine near the cooking area). This is a great neighborhood find. Lots of people seem to know about this place; there was a line when we arrived at 12:30 and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table although space at the counter opened up before that. I noticed a fruit plate going by that had a great mixture of fresh fruit on it, so everything seems to be fresh here. I'll definitely go back to try other items!“

“The buns here are really good. The bread was incredibly soft and airy with such a delectable milky-sweet flavor. Beef curry filling was okay but BBQ pork was excellent. Decent amount of filling, no red dye, and absolutely delicious. Pork floss bun is also amazing if you're looking for something more savory.“

“My team ordered catering from Hungry Cafe and everyone raved about the food! Mo was super responsive to our outreach and he and his colleague Ryan went above and beyond to ensure our group had a great experience. The Southeast Community Center is also a beautiful space filled with awesome local nonprofit organizations and other community-oriented people. 10/10 would recommend!“

“As an ube lover, it made my day to find this place! They serve ube pastries from Ube Area and also specialty drinks including the Ube Matcha Latte. I got the ube tiramisu (are you kidding me!!) and the ube pandan brownie - you cannot go wrong with these!The barista was so kind and helped answer any questions I had and she was the one that recommended the tiramisu for me. It's more of a local cafe for the neighborhood so it was pretty quiet - there were a few bar seats by the window and a big table at the back.“

“Such a cute and different coffee shop. I had the Honeybee latte and a tomato quiche. The latte was far better than I expected- perfect balance of sweet and flavorful. Not overly sweet at all! The quiche was very flavorful and moist and the crust was buttery and flaky. I ordered mine to go but I thoroughly enjoyed the decor while I waited for my order to be made. Cute little details all over the place. The hand doodled coffee sleeve was a fun and adorable touch. Looking forward to returning on my next visit to Burlingame.“

“Esther and Giuliano, are just two amazing people! We stopped here purely based on reviews, and it did not disappoint. The coffee was absolutely wonderful! My wife is the coffee drinker and said her latte was one of the best she's ever had. I'm not big on coffee, but if we lived near here I'd come everyday because the coffee was so good. But what truly sets them apart is their hospitality. From the moment we walked in until we left, they were both so sweet and genuine. This will be a must stop everytime we're in SF from now on.“

“What a beautiful coffee shop! Lots of outdoor seating too. I loved that this was just a few steps from our airbnb when we visited SF. they have lots of options and everything was delicious. I love a chai latte so of course I ordered the ginger and turmeric chai. Wow!! So flavorful and so delicious. Spicy!! My hubby got the vanilla latte and their vanilla was wild! Sooo good. Better than any vanilla latte I've ever had. Great spot to check out!“

“They have great bread. And the croissants, unbeatable, accompanied by an excellent coffee with milk (latte). At the bar is Héctor, a very nice guy from Navarra (Spain). And there is another very friendly Belgian girl who gives you conversation if there is no queue.“

“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.“

“This is a germ hidden in the hood ;) food is yummy and nice presentation even with take-out order. Parking is easy there. They even have an area for local artist to leave their item to sell. It's a self-service cafe. Simple and open environment , good for meet up and work remotely.“

“El Cafe has been my go-to favorite cafe in sf for YEARS now! I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet! Not only is their staff all wonderful people, but their food and drinks are to die for! Awesome atmosphere, relaxed and great prices. Literally what more could you want! I love coming here on my days off for their breakfast panini! Been getting it for years and the quality has never wavered. Couldn’t recommend El Cafe more. ?“

“Got the super breakfast burrito & roasted veggie flatbread (changed the red sauce to pesto & added chicken 10/10 recommend!), Tropical Sunshine & Matcha Magic (not pictured), both HELLA good! Great owners/service. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Music and vibes are A1 :)“

“Picked up a bacon breakfast burrito, nice size, not greasy at all. Looks like it comes with cheese, tomato, and whatever meat you choose. Iced latte was great too, not very sweet which is how I like it but if u do like it sweet I’m sure u can request that or add sugar yourself.Parking: There’s some free parking on one street and I believe on third it is paid parking. I got in at 8 am and parking was free where I parked.“

“This was a great meal to start the day. With lots of options from breakfast to dinner this is a perfect place for any time of the day. I had the souvlaki which came with soft pita and lots of tzatziki which I loved. The salad and fries were also a great side. My boyfriend had the home run and he said the sandwich was good and the hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was great as well! We chose a table outside and it was a little dirty but they quickly noticed and wiped it down for us. Parking can be found on the street.“

“My breakfast was amazing and the bacon overflowing. Hard to belive that I recieved this IN Cali, IN 2024, for this price. Ill definitely be back for my overnights in SFO.Food prices are consistent with normal sandwhich shops, but the quality is so much better. Planning lunch already??Thanks guys!“

“Recently came to this location on taraval since sandwiches were the consensus. I didn't know they had a location here as I've only been to the one on Geary years ago. This location has a few small dine-in tables but seemed like most people got their orders to go. I had the RT mushroom sandwich and it was fantastic! I had everything on it and being without lunch that day, it really hit the spot. Lots of options to choose from so likely will be back to try other choices!“

“Just discovered this gem! A quaint, rustic hole-in-the-wall, cash only, best crepes in the city with super unique flavor combinations you don't see anywhere else. This one man operation is not for the impatient or those in a rush, but it's worth the wait. You don't find many places like this anymore, and I'm so glad to have been introduced to Higher Grounds - we'll be back!“

“Moonlight Cafe offers variety of dishes and a calm laidback ambience. The friendly staff coupled with the best coffee enhanced our dining experience. As a vegetarian tried their salad and mediterranean platter 10/10 taste and unique flavors.“

“This place is such a gem. I came here to work for a few hours and it was perfect. Cozy atmosphere, relatively quiet with nice background music, tasty and affordable food, nice service. I would highly recommend and return and even considering making it a good place to hang out for a bit before heading to the airport as I don’t live an hour away.Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options but I think the atmosphere makes up for it. There are a few very limited selections like the berry oatmeal and the bagel. I believe there were a couple other things too.“

“The small shop offers a large selection of foods in the menu with interesting Mexican drinks on the shelf. The host is very friendly. I ordered a Latin bowl, and it is tasty, healthy in a big portion. Will certainly come back to try other items.“

“Friendly service and the pies and empanada are delicious. Perfectly baked crust and the fillings are so creative. Loved this place for a quick lunch or grab and go. Cute ambiance and fun to sit at the counter with a view of passers-by. Great neighborhood gem.“

“Holy buckets, this place rules. I never get past Devils. teeth for breakfast sandwiches normally but this place is worth the few blocks further trek.All of the pastry too. Mango sticky rice kouign aman was a highlight too.Also the guy helping us was so friendly. 5/5 would roll out again.“

“OBSESSED with this coffee/donut shop! I would consider this a hidden gem for their speed, convenience, and best people as well as coffee/pastry styles. Very East Coast style with products while also having a West Coast twist. Extremely mild coffee, not too strong but far from watery. The pastries are wonderful, and try to tip here if you have extra change. Local-owned and humble environment. I pray one day they may have enough customers to start a free wifi...“

“Caffe Duetto was visited by happenstance. My experience was amazing since everything was a surprise and above satisfactory. While visiting Cafe Duetto, I met the owner and interacted with the staff. The food was above average as well as the intense drip coffee. The dining room vibe was chill with smooth jazz playing and a whimsical decor reflecting the car wash.“

“This was a cozy spot to have lunch outside with my family. We ordered a few lunch items and snacks to bring home. I ordered the lunch special of the day, which was a beef stew. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try it out, but they gladly replaced it with the steak grilled with onions, which was delicious! The service was great and the lady at the cashier was very happy and patient with us! I would definitely come here again to buy more pao de queijo and try something new.“

“Located on 24th and surrounded by cute shops, Victorian houses, and friendly people and dogs! We stopped by Bernie's on our weekly Sunday coffee dates and really enjoyed our coffees. We ordered two drinks from their popular menu, the Honey Hazelnut Latte and Vanilla Americano. We got both hot since it was cold outside and sat outside to enjoy it. Drinks were amazing and the perfect ratio of sweet and creamy for me. The staff were also kind and willing to walk through the menu and explain the different roasts they have. The barista actually messed up one of our drinks by adding regular milk instead of oat milk, but she was apologetic and remade the drink for us quickly with a smile on her face.“

“Always wanted to eat fluffy pancakes. I thought I'd have to go to Vegas to get some, but found this wonderful place.Original fluffy pancakes are the best! (so far). I tried many others, but the Strawberry ones tasted a little artificial like those pop stick candy sticks you ate as a child. The available side dishes are really well made. I tried almost all of them.Atmosphere is modern cozy Cafe vibes. I enjoy going to this little hot spot in the mall.“

“This Is The Best Hole In The Wall Corner Cafe I've Ever Experienced !! I Was Coming In From The San Joaquin Valley To Brisbane In Lovely San Francisco On A Friday Of All Days To Take Care Of Some Business And I Got To My Destination Two Hours Before My Appointment Time, I Left Super Early Knowing The Bay Area Commute Was Going To Be A Bear. So As I Sit In The Parking Lot Of My Destination I'm Thinking To Myself I Have Time To Eat Breakfast And Enjoy A Coffee Somewhere Near By, I Took to Yelp And Aroma Bueno Cafe Popped Up They Were Already Open It Was 7:30am And Is Was Only 7 Minutes Away So I Get On 101 North And Boom It's Right On The Corner Of Bay Shore Blvd And Tunnel Avenue. I Park And Walked Into This Cute Corner Hole In The Wall Cafe And Was Welcomed In I Ordered A Large Mocha Iced Coffee W/Almond Milk And The Breakfast Bagel With Sausage, Egg, Spinach, Tomato And Cheese Very Reasonably Priced. I Got My Food To Go And When I Returned Back To The Parking Lot Of My Destination I Enjoyed My Warm Bagel Sandwich With My Iced Coffee Boy Was That Delicious I Must Say The Iced Coffee Was Better Than Starbucks (Sorry Starbucks But True) And The Bagel Breakfast Sandwich Was To Die For. I Highly Recommend This Place For People On The Go And Need A Quick Pick Me Up And A Bite To Eat If Your In This Area Or On Your Way To Work Or Play Off 101. Remember Always Tip Generously They Deserve It“

“Love this Brazilian café! Claudio and his family took over this Glen Park place a few years ago and kept the name Pebbles. They're super nice and serve the city's best pão de queijo (cheese bread), coxinhas (savory dough pockets filled with chicken), and empadas, IMO. They also have amazing fruit/acai/health bowls named after soccer stars like Pele and Neymar, as well as delicious smoothies. Ótimo! (Perfect!)“

“Imagine driving through the city to a quiet neighborhood you've probably never been to just to have a cup of coffee with cannoli. Sounds a bit quirky, right?! But I guess it what makes it for a fun experience. Add a stroll across the block – and it could become a favorite weekday activity.We tried a Classic and Chocolate cannolis, both with pistachios. What can I say – it was good. The filling was rich and decadent, but not heavy which is a huge plus in my books. The shell was a bit hard to my liking, but it didn't stop me from finishing dessert ;)In the world of 'fancy' brunches, La Stazione is a good old friend you'd probably go to when you want to decompress from hustle and bustle of everyday life. Worth the drive and the calories.“

“Love this coffee shop. It is family owned. Seems many are regular. The owner is nice. It is a small shop which serves coffee, pastries and regular american breakfast like egg and sandwich. It has indoor and outdoor seating.We ordered almost croissants and latte. Price is reasonable and it is cheaper than other coffee shops. The croissant is yummy and fluffy. The latte is good and light. Will visit again and try the sandwich.“

“Perfect cafe. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food and coffee were very good and delicious. If there could be more stars, I would give more.Perfect cafe.

“Not sure what is more confusing/charming about this hole in the wall: the fact that it is a coffee shop with a disarmingly nondescript name, or the fact that the storefront bears the name of a weed dispensary (note: Dr. Green Thumb's is not a juicery). Coffeeshop is basically a shoebox inside, but there are two tables outside. Ordered a flat white with oat milk, which delivered on all fronts -- silky finish and slightly sweet, with a distinct espresso taste. Baristas are super chill, but service is a bit slow. Parking in this neighborhood is hit or miss, so park at your own risk. FYI: No additional charge for milk alternatives!“

“I tried the new avocado sundried toast and OMG SO TASTY!! It was the perfect mid morning snack before a late lunch. Light but filling and all of the ingredients were super fresh. I don't normally like sprouts but the whole thing with sprouts and cucumbers are to die for! Def check it out.“

“I was pretty impressed with my visit to Royal Donut Cafe. I didn't come for their donuts, but for their breakfast and they had some of the best country fried steak I've had a in a while. The interior is very dated so that might turn some people off, but they are expanding the restaurant and taking over the space next door. They said that there is a possibility that they open for dinner in the future too. Staff were very friendly as well. Parking in the area is certainly a pain in the area, but there are paid parking lots near by. Country Fried Steak & Eggs ($15.95) was what I ordered and it was massive. I was stuffed after eating it and the steak had the perfect breading. The sausage gravy was very tasty and the hash browns were also a large portion. The eggs they also cooked really well and they don't overcook them like I accidently do at home because I love runny eggs. It is definitely worth a visit here although I have no input on their donuts or pastries personally. Their breakfast is top tier though and you get large portions. Would recommend this breakfast spot to anyone in the area.“

“Food is consistent and good. The portions are heavier and loaded with good ingredients. They don't skimp which makes it a better bang for the buck compared to some neighborhood competitors. Plus, their $8 weekday breakfast sandwich might be the best deal in area, and the $3 cookies are huge. Service is typically fast and friendly. It's one of those places where the staff stays, and they are good at what they do. Inside seating is limited and city-style (tight), but lots of covered outdoor seating. No reservations; first come, first serve.“

“Excellent double latte foam with a ? heartThumbs up on service and very cleanMocha is excellent as wellSelection of pastriesLittle quaint spots in Daly cityParking: Ample front and Walgreen's parking lot a block walkKid-friendliness: Pastries and juice“

“Super cute place to have a chat with a friend. Tea was about $3.50. Really nice folks working there. Even though they don't have vegan options I still rate it 5 stars because it has such a good vibe.Vegetarian options: There were absolutely no vegan options which was a bummer because the place is so cute! I'd love to go back more and see more options.“

“Great coffee, reliable Wi-Fi, and nice people. I can't get here as often as I would like but it is my favorite local coffee shop. The food is definitely worth a try. They don't skimp on toppings for bagels and their Mediterranean plate is a delicious, healthy lunch. Prices have always been reasonable and they have always had very quick reliable service. On Thursdays or Fridays there is also a local bakery that sets up outside if you want fresh baked goods or take home to bake pizza. Overall always delicious. Added benefit: if you need to host a community event, Charlie's is has been there to help. They have done safety updates from the police, neighborhood, meetings... don't remember what else but lots of local stuff. This coffee shop makes SF feel like a small town.“

“I've had my eye on this spot for a couple of months and I'm so glad I gave it a try. What caught my attention was their fried pork chop over rice. Pretty huge portion for $13.95. I got it with curry sauce and it did not disappoint. The curry didn't taste like the typical Japanese curry with a lot of spices.. it's more like the HK style cafe curries.. idk man but I loved it. I do wish it came with a little more sauce because I'm a sauce drinker LOL. The pork chop had the perfect amount of batter and it was perfectly crispy and seasoned. So tender. Came with a bed of white rice and cabbage/salad.Once you walk in, you can order from the kiosk or online. Then they'll call your order when it's ready. Basically you can choose to dine in or dine out because it comes in a to go container for convenience. Overall, solid spot. 4.5/5. Would come back!03.06.2024 | Wednesday @12:40pm“

“The food and pastries were really good, I’d definitely recommend. There are many options to choose from, I am sure everyone will find something they like.My only complaint is that the place is too popular, therefore crowded. Too many people are waiting in line, all tables are occupied, the place is loud and not cosy at all“
