Whenever I'm visiting family in the Bay Area, Cafe Pacifica is my go-to breakfast spot. It's conveniently located on Palmetto Avenue near the pier. Their breakfast wraps and sandwiches are on another level--they're packed with great flavor and always hit the spot. It's the perfect way to start the morning. They also make some really delicious smoothies that pair perfectly with breakfast. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a relaxing atmosphere whether you want to dine inside or enjoy the fresh air. On top of the excellent food, the customer service is always friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a great breakfast spot in the area, Cafe Pacifica is definitely worth checking out. read more

Eclectic cafe in Pacifica with excellent coffee and omelettes! The coffee was strong and tasty while the Mermaid Omelette I ordered to go delivered on flavor. The crispiness of the onions and the savoriness of the salmon paired extremely well together- delicious combo! The service was super friendly and fast- amazing experience overall! So relaxing. read more

I think I found my new go-to cafe in this town! Such a quaint and cozy little place with friendly service, fun decor, trinkets from local artists and small businesses, and plenty of outdoor seating for you and your furry friends. My husband and I tried the caramel sea salt latte, raspberry white mocha, cheese danish, and walnut cranberry scone. No complaints, everything was delicious. It was the perfect breakfast before our walk through Mori Point. read more

apparently the price is written on Google are prices from years ago specifically for any establishment all kitchens prices and food should be updated I was hung over near Pacifica and I stayed at a hotel near and couldn't get any breakfast because I didn't wanna spend $40 when I could've spent 20 on the old menu overall I did not put in my order due to misleading prices read more

This is my absolute favorite cafe to get a soy white mocha with whip! Their breakfast bagels/sandwiches are pretty good too. Baristas are always friendly and efficient. I love how they have indoor and outdoor seating as well as easy street parking. They also have a loyalty card- buy 10 get 1 free read more

Stopped in for a quick bite after my morning run and grabbed the Piggy Bagel. It came with a solid amount of bacon and avocado; great combo. I did end up wiping off a bit of the cream cheese since I prefer a lighter spread, but the overall flavor was still really good. Service was super quick, which I appreciated. read more

Foggy but kinda warm Saturday morning. Ambiance was classic Pacifica, beachy and funky and comfortable. We ordered and grabbed a table outside in front. Lots of seating, chatted with a couple with a cute toddler and 2 corgies in a wagon!!! Hubby had an iced coffee and I had a latte... it was perfect. Hubby got the gangsta wrap and I created my own breakfast bagel without egg. Both were really good portions and delicious. I kept eyeing the pastries and decided to go back in and get a scone... It was the perfect balance of crispy outside and light fluffy and buttery inside. Not dry at all. Very popular and busy place but we felt relaxed. read more

This is a great neighborhood gem! It makes you feel like you're at a 'beach town' breakfast and lunch place. Great sandwiches, bagels, eggs, etc. The porch is awesome. The staff was very nice and helpful. I'm already looking forward to going back!! read more

Such an awesome local place! Picked up a couple of bagel sandwiches (highly recommend the Land Lubber) and we were in and out in 5 minutes. It does get pretty packed on the weekends so come early. Not that much seating indoors but you're just a few minute walk from the beach. Come support a local business! read more

solid service and a very cute spot. we parked out front and fed the kids some standard but good chicken fingers and fries, my wife had a delicious chai latte. ambience was pacifica mellow :) read more

Unclear of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff. We had just visited the Pacifica pier and wanted to support this neighborhood business. Hubby ordered the fish and chips which came with 3 pieces of fish. I didn't try it. It looked very generic previously frozen fish. I wanted chicken tenders as nothing else on the menu interested me. They ran out. I ended up with regular fries for under $7 which was a generous portion but they were just frozen ones they heated up. Like what can get at the supermarket, Ore Ida. Outdoor seating was casual and limited seating inside. The paper towel trash bin was over flowing in the bathroom. read more

Went for Breakfast Food - 5/5. Blueberry scone was in the American style: sweet, buttery, and fluffy. Matcha-looking-at had a great blended consistency with just the right amount of sweetness to pair with the earthy, bitter flavors of matcha. The gangsta wrap was an excellent breakfast item, combining all the best flavors and textures of breakfast in one bite. The sausage and eggs were savory, the avocado and cheese added creaminess, the hash browns were rich and crispy, and the salsa brightened everything up with its vibrant taste. Tortilla was thin and just toasted enough to have that satisfying, light bite. Service - 4/5. Quick and friendly. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. Water was self-service. Value - 5/5. Prices are standard for the area with the pastry being $5, large drinks $8 and the wrap in the mid $10s. Flavors were good and the portions were fine. Nice breakfast location. Parking - Street (Free) read more

Delicious gangsta wrap and smoked salmon bagel. Will definitely be back for a casual pick me up breakfast. Coffee was also excellent. Literally is a shack and a hidden (or maybe not so hidden) gem. Lots of locals pouring in. We hung out on the patio and it was relaxing to hear the waves. read more

After our walk at the pier, I headed to Cafe Pacifica. It's a great little spot. I ordered a vanilla latte with oatmilk and an everything bagel (an Italian) and I was able to scrambled eggs. It was awesome. The Cafe has a small seating area inside as well as a larger outside patio area. It was cool but it was a gorgeous day. read more

Great little hole in the wall. Decent value for your money and nice workers. We had a no frills breakfast omlet and it was pretty good.

Man. I don't like to go under 3 stars if I can avoid it especially right now. But the things I list, I think work as constructive rather than destructive and I hope that the people reading agree. Don't use my review as an excuse not to go- please go and see if you can disagree with me because that's honestly what I would love. I would love to read about how much you love the place. Review: No. No thanks. -I don't mind the vaccine card only restrictions before it was put into law. -I don't mind sitting outside. -I don't mind having to get my own order after being told it would be brought out to us. -I don't mind using a plastic fork to eat my eggs and a clear plastic to-go container to eat my food instead of a plate. -I don't like that their isn't a bathroom. Give us food and drinks but not restroom? We have to come in to order, we have to come in to pick up our food, why can't we use bathroom? -I don't like being screamed at when the order is ready- no names are taken so what was being screamed from inside the restaurant to the outside patio in order to summon me was "EXTRA SAUSAGE" which is kind of funny now but was abrasive in the moment. Even the other guests were a shocked and made a couple jokes to take the edge off. -I don't like the very poor quality of the food. Breakfast is the easiest and probably the cheapest meal, and after ordering this, I would have preferred McDonalds. Same quality or worse but at least I could use the restroom and not have someone yell at me. Redeeming Factors: -I did really like my Pacifica Fog drink made with heavy cream and sugar free vanilla sweetener. This was actually pretty great. -It's right along the main street, easy to spot. They recommend you use the restroom on the Pier. You know, the one directly behind the other café in town, that's right on the ocean, which I am sure knows how to make tea. So, would I come back? No. No thanks. read more

We had a well made vivacious veggie bagle, coffee, and cappuccino. The bagel was great, we loved how it tasted. The coffees were hot and the service was great. read more

Nice selection of hot and cold coffee drinks; great beach town patio vibes; nice workers.

We always come to this place for breakfast when we head to the dog beach around the corner. It's a really nice little spot with outdoor seating, though it's limited with only like 4 4-person tables. However, this place is right next to some office space that has benches surrounding it and so I think that's a better place to enjoy the food especially not during covid. The breakfast food is always pretty good! We enjoy their coffees and their bagels are always really fresh. I've ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagels and also the avocado and spice bagels. The food can sometimes take a bit long (one time I waited about 20 minutes) but the breakfast food is great. read more

Cute, quaint little place. Amazing blueberry scones! Loved my matcha too. Will definitely come again next time I'm in Pacifica!

I was looking for a breakfast place near by after my hike by the pier. Saw Cafe Pacifica and came in. A cute place with lots of food to choose from. I decided to try the Venus Omelette. It came with toast so I ordered hashbrown patty extra. The food was pretty good. I must try some of the other food on the menu next time. Small quant place with lots to see. You can also eat outside if you'd like. The person there at the time was doing everything and was still fast in preparing my food. I will come back for lunch next time read more

My partner and I were crabbing at the Pacifica Pier one early morning and were in desperate need of some coffee and food. Since Cafe Pacifica was so close, I decided to walk over to grab some sustenance for us. Since it was pretty early in the morning at around 8am or so on a weekday, there wasn't a wait. I had a couple questions about the menu and the cashier was pretty patient and answered my questions accordingly. Their menu is pretty big and has different types of coffees/teas, smoothies, bagels, omelettes, wraps, burgers, and salads. That day there were out of croissants unfortunately. I ended up ordering the Breakfast Panini with Bacon, the Morning Bagel with Ham, a Hot Chocolate, and a regular coffee. The prices were a bit high for everything, after tip I paid about $30. But I get it, it's a nice area with some pretty high rent I'm sure. My order was ready in less than 5 minutes and the cashier brought it to the window for me. The breakfast panini was a bit disappointing. The bread was a thin slice of white sandwich bread and the sandwich wasn't pressed or grilled, but rather toasted in a toaster or something. It was fine, but certainly overpriced for something I could have made at home for less than $8. The Morning Bagel with Ham was loaded with Ham (definitely appreciated!), and the cheese was melted nicely as well. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of liquid and it soaked through the wrapping paper of my bagel. I wasn't quite sure whether the liquid was from the ham or the egg. The hot chocolate was nice and chocolatey and definitely helped warm me up in the cold morning. The coffee was ok, just regular coffee. Overall, everything wasn't exceptional but it did hold me over. read more

Love this place and always stop here when I visit Pacifica. Can't get enough of their raspberry white chocolate mochas.

Cute cafe, Pacifica doesnt have much to offer but this is good! Got an omelette and was very homey vibe

My family and I come here for the bagels. We love that you can text the order and pick it up without any issues and the staff are always friendly read more

I came here at noon after a morning hike and had only one thing in mind: smoothies. All smoothies are $7.50 each and unfortunately, they didn't have mango juice in stock which meant 5 out of 9 of their smoothie options could not be made. The other combinations had a mixture of banana which I personally didn't fancy. The cashier said that she could sub the mango juice in the Hawaiian Sunset with apple juice and while it's definitely not the same, I wasn't about to be picky after a long trek. In the end, it didn't turn out too bad. The decor and theme of this place is super cool and beachy. They have an outdoor patio great on summer days and are dog-friendly. I don't necessarily care for the food here, but would definitely stop by for a drink and to chit-chat with some friends. read more

Food is very good, atmosphere is tense. Large signs stating special chair is reserved for employees only. Creates an unfriendly vibe.

This place isn't bad. The morning bagel was fresh and hot, the white mocha wasn't bad. The 2 guys in front were nice and wore masks. The bathroom was available. My only hesitation for coming back was that the prices have gone up since what I have seen online. Everything up by over a dollar. Basically puts this place at the same price range as everything else around here. $11 (after tax) for a bagel sandwich is kinda high. I'd say this is a two $$ place vs. the one $ that's shows on yelp. Also it's $.50 more for ice if you want to pour coffee over ice. read more

We had a great outdoor lunch here on a Wednesday afternoon after a late morning hike to nearby Mori Point. Great food; pleasant, Covid-conscious service; and a cute front porch seating area. I enjoyed my Gangsta Wrap with sausage - this egg, hash brown, avocado and salsa filled wrap was delicious. My husband liked his Cluckster chicken sandwich with fries. The service was reasonably friendly and fairly efficient. The only thing that was confusing was that they specifically have a sign on their window stating that vaccinated customers can use the restroom, but they told us they aren't allowing anyone to use the restroom. They need to remove the signage that indicates otherwise. We went on June 16, after the California reopening, and really appreciated the fact that this business is continuing to require masks inside. I think this is a wise and safe decision and frankly, this helped convince me I should eat here today! (Thank you for being responsible business owners!) The front porch had 6 small tables with a marine-themed decor - it was cute and a great spot to enjoy our meal outdoors. We live in nearby San Francisco and look forward to returning soon! read more

Super cute place with great breakfast food. The inside is small but cozy, we sat and the patio and enjoyed the ocean breeze. Definitely recommend! read more

Cafe Pacifica - caramel iced coffee, morning bagel, breakfast plate, and cappuccino. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pacifica, California

Very disappointing. On Yelp and Google they have their hours listed as opening at 7 am on Sunday. We arrived at 7:35 am hungry looking forward to a great breakfast but it was dark with a closed sign in the window. I called and the message listed new hours saying on Sunday they open at 8 am It is very easy for a business to update their hours on Yelp and Google. We are trying to support small business during COVID but you have to keep your hours updated. Went around the corner and had breakfast at another small restaurant read more

After a pleasant walk from the pier to this cafe we were happy to see no line to order some coffees. The pumpkin spice latte was okay, the java chip blended coffee was good. We would have liked to sit inside but the seating was super limited, plenty of outdoor seating though on their front deck. Nice little spot. read more

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. read more

My go to order here is a iced matcha latte which is always consistently delicious. The chicken wrap is delicious because the chicken is moist and packed with flavor. Best part is that you can text in to order making ordering incredibly easy. read more

I've known of this place since 2014 when we met the first owner (I believe). We came back recently and were pleased to find that some, if not most, of the items from 2014 were still on the menu. But the "gangsta wrap" might be better now than it was before! Something about the crispy, crunchy hashbrowns inside... and I discovered that the "piggy" is my new go-to bagel sandwich with bacon, avocado, and cream cheese. Yum! I love their mochas. I also like how the new ownership kept the same beachy vibe with the surfboard and mermaid decor. I'd also say the place looks a lot cleaner than before. I love the patio. I love this place. I'd come here everyday! read more

One of the best breakfast burrito places in town! They are called "Gangsta Wraps" and are extremely good.
