One of the best mochas that I have had. Quiche Lorraine: 4.5/5. REALLY well executed, but my homemade is still better. Great flavor and texture. I am here at 1:30pm on a Tuesday and there is a line out the door--so there are clearly a lot of fans of this place.

Expect a line on weekends, but it moves quickly and there's plenty of seating indoors and on the patio. Dogs are also allowed in the patio area making it easy for those accompanied by their furry family. We went here on a weekend at about 3 pm thinking we would beat the lunch crowd, but it was still packed! Looks like it's popular all day! We got the chipotle chicken BLT with pesto mayo on ciabatta bread, the 1/2 burger with secret (Thousand Island) sauce, some beer and a Cubano latte. Everything was delicious! The chipotle chicken BLT came with a side salad tossed in a fresh citrusy dressing that perfectly complemented the sandwich. This is a place where you order at the counter and they bring that food to your table. The lady taking the order (sorry for missing her name) was super helpful with recommendations and made the ordering experience stellar. The coffee was also great. They also have a fridge section with a variety of specialty drinks. A solid place to stop by if you're in the Pacifica area.

The coffee was the perfect balance between strong and smooth, delicious! Absolutely loved the closeness to the water, made for a scenic walk. The restaurant itself has good lighting and an element of coziness that's appealing.

Pacifica has an ordinance that requires restaurants to give plastic utensils only to patrons who ask for them. We have a plastics problem, people. Enough with the unnecessary single-use plastic. And plastic utensils aren't recyclable. Like most people, I brought my takeout home, where I have silverware and cloth napkins. Someone who's planning a picnic can surely be expected to ask for utensils if they need them.

It was packed at 5:00 p.m., which seemed like a great sign, and it has the feel of a solid casual Mediterranean restaurant. We ordered the beef kebab dinner and the falafel dinner. We requested the beef be cooked medium rare, but when we got home, it was closer to well done. Unfortunately, the beef was quite tough and difficult to eat. We were hungry after our hike, so we ate it anyway, but it was disappointing. The falafel dinner was a little better, though nothing particularly memorable. I was surprised given the high ratings, but after reading more reviews afterward, I noticed others had also mentioned that the meat can be overcooked. Since we usually order takeout, I probably wouldn't return because it's too much of a gamble if the meat isn't cooked as requested. It's unfortunate, as the restaurant was busy and seemed well-liked, but this visit didn't live up to our expectations.
