Camped across the street and came here out of convenience. Busy Sunday morning. Lines were long but moved quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter then take a seat. Ordered a green avocado omelette on special and my bf ordered a crossaint sandwich. I liked that the hash browns were crunchy on one side but would have preferred both sides to be crunchy. Portions are average for the price and the food had good flavor read more

I stopped by on a Sunday for a quick coffee. It was not too busy. I went for a hazelnut latte which had good flavors. Hazelnut mousse cake was also really good. I also went for 2 scoops of gelato - Pistachio and hazelnut. Hazelnut was my favorite. Pistachio was ok. read more

I love going here when I'm in the area. The pastries and coffee are all really good. It's so hard to decide when I look at the display case. I decided to try something different this time and got a sandwich. I loved it. I haven't had anything bad here yet. It does get busy sometimes but it's pretty easy to order at the counter. My sandwich came out quickly and I was able to get a table outside. read more

We stopped in here for a quick cup of gelato after a busy day. There was a very long line, but service was friendly. They mainly serve breakfast/coffee, and had an impressive selection of pastries as well. I came for gelato and ended up leaving with 2 cakes to try. Gelato wasn't super memorable, but the cakes were delicious! I would love to come back on a quieter day and try some more of their items. read more

Very nice coffee, pastry & breakfast place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop was clean and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All staff were helpful and polite. Lattes were delicious! Most coffee shops make them too sweet. Their lattes let the coffee shine. One morning we enjoyed their croissant breakfast sandwich and the crepe breakfast. Both were great. I also enjoyed their vegetable cream soup for lunch. Very tasty! read more

We dined here Sunday morning with my son and grandson 21/2. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor patio was crowded and pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is very friendly but as a counter service cafe it is scant as well. The food is a high quality melange of fresh delicious fare including croissants and quiches. The coffee offerings are wonderful and the cappuccinos were perfection. I have been here often over the years and I recommend it as a reliable and high quality experience! read more

Just stopped by for some breakfast/ snack takeaways. There is an interesting full breakfast/brunch/lunch menu. The croissants and laminated pastry are bought out?, cooked from frozen. Breads made elsewhere. They seem to make their own cookies and some desserts. We tried 2: Easter Egg Cookies and Tres Leches. Both were better than good but not great. A mini apple pie for &6.50, I haven't tried yet. They make the standard complement of coffee drinks. Staff are polite and work quickly. read more

For as packed as this place was it did not hold up to expectations. Service was good and my wife's dish, the Gnocchi in a Gorgonzola cream sauce was delicious. The Gnocchi did seem a bit mushy to me but the dish was still tasty. I had the fettuccini in bolognese, their "famous sauce". I also ordered a side of house made sausage. The sausage was over cooked and dry, quite disappointing. The sauce was mid at best and not sure why they call out its made with top sirloin because you couldn't tell if it was that or chopped chuck roast. We also started with the caprese salad which you could find in any home kitchen, nothing amazing about it. We wanted to really like this place and I guess we'll settle for it's ok read more

Spent the day in Half Moon Bay with some friends and our dogs. After walking along the beach path for a few hours, we wanted a dog-friendly place to chill out for some dessert and coffee. We searched on Yelp and there wasn't a lot options for dessert or coffee places, but thankfully, found this place that was also listed as being dog-friendly. The parking lot by this place was large and there was plenty of parking, so that was nice, despite it being a busy day in Half Moon Bay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as we walked up to the door of the place, we saw a giant sign on the door that said that dogs weren't allowed. Boo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Well, thankfully, there was seating outside and there were 4 of us, so we took turns going in to order since we couldn't bring our dogs in. It was annoying, but manageable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered an iced coffee and a cheesecake. There were so many desserts, I had a hard time deciding. They also had gelato as well. I wanted it all. The iced coffee was nice and refreshing. The cheesecake was divinely fluffy, light, and delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was plenty of outdoor seating and thankfully, was overcast for most of the time we were there. When the sun came out, it was a little much as there wasn't any shade where we were.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It ended up being a good experience overall and we were happy. read more

First meal of the year and it didn't disappoint. This cute looking cafe is the perfect spot for brunch and pastries. Friendly staff. Lots of parking space as well. Tried and loved: - fresh squeezed orange juice: at $8 for OJ, I was expecting something spectacular and that is exactly what I received. - margarita pizza: was consumed by my partner and was "very satisfying" - savory crêpe with egg and Swiss cheese: their technique was spot on, but it would have been elevated with more seasoning and perhaps some herbs. To be fair, it is supposed to come with ham which as a vegetarian I asked without because this European can't resist a crepe. - Hazelnut cake: delicious, just the right level of sweetness, creamy. Definitely recommend! This was a great first introduction. Looking forward to more visits. read more

A great cafe that we happened to see after dinner the night before. We had dinner at Mezza Luna the night before and drove around exploring the harbor area when we saw the cafe, assuming they were related and they are. We decided to head there for a late breakfast/early lunch before leaving town. They were very attentive and greeted us upon entering. They have a large menu of breakfast items, sandwiches and pastries. We were surprised at the variety. I had a breakfast bagel and white mocha. Both were excellent. My wife had an omelette that she really enjoyed. The kids loved the pizza. Overall it was a great meal. We went back and we're going to grab a gelato or pastry to take home. But when we walked in the place was jumpin'. We opted to head back home, as we had a drive ahead of us. But we'll definitely be back! read more

Their gelatos and pastries are consistently good. They have good healthy light breakfast and lunches, Italian sandwiches, bagels, omelets, and desserts. Good collection of coffee drinks and tea. Their staff is always friendly. We always bring friends and family visiting the Bay Area to Half Moon Bay and stop by this place.

Wow this place is great. The pastries are amazing and they have a full breakfast and lunch menu. Their service is quick and I love how you can just order at the counter and they give you a number. The prices are normal and not outrageous. And there's lots of parking. And when you are done eating you can go to the shops in the mall! They only have one bathroom but it's a small spot. Definitely need to try all their pastries. read more

First time customer. Ordered a double iced latte and a tiramisu in a cup to go. I love expresso and was excited about trying this place. One of the worst latte's I've had. The expresso was bitter. It was undrinkable. I through it away. The tiramisu was served at room temperature and was okay. Disappointed. Don't come for the expresso. read more

The pastries. Oh the pastries. They are absolutely delicious. Baked to absolute perfection every time BUT you gotta get them early, because they sell out FAST. They also have breakfast and realllly good coffees. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This quaint little place is definitely a gem.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here on a chill Sunday afternoon. We ordered a mocha, white mocha, and irish cream latte. Honestly, one of the worst coffees I've had in the bay area. All of the coffees were extremely sweet (think Dutch Bros) and none of us finished ours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only reason this review is 2 stars and not 1 is because the service was friendly and the place itself is cozy and chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We really wanted to like this place but it wasn't meant to be. Everything was bland, not much flavor. I had scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs had no seasoning and the bacon was overcooked. My wife had a savory crepe. Much of the same problem, just bland. We also tried the chocolate chip cookie (also overdone), croissants (just ok) and raspberry macarons. The macaroons were probably the best thing we got that day. Though this place is convenient to where we usually, stay we won't be returning. read more

I came here with a group for breakfast, and the gentleman was very nice and quick with service. He looked like he was doing a million things at once and seemed like a great multi-Tasker. With my dairy allergy, I was able to get the fritatta with veggies and a side of fruit for a quick, low calorie protein breakfast. It did come with a side salad, which I thought was slightly odd. But don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of salads. It's not a breakfast item for me personally. **shrugs** Plenty of seating inside and outside, which all areas were really clean. It's even great for a place to post up with your laptop and get some work done remotely. Wished they had some allergy friendly pastries, and at least none of the labels indicated that. I did forget to get a receipt and went back up to the counter, in which they were able to help print out my receipt (I felt so bad since there was a line of people behind me). So, extra stars for going above and beyond! read more

Great European style cafe with authentic food. The staff is friendly, the portions are big. Food is delicious.

Tried this place today the food was very good, I'll give them that but it ends there ...service was lacking and I felt like out of a scene of 'mean girls', lacking in basic customer service/human treatment. Tried to make pleasant small talk at the register and was met with ...is that all? No hello, no friendly smile, only thank you when the tip was left. I went back and inquired about the gelato ingredients and I felt like I was dealing with mean girls behind the counter, then they laughed at me when I left. Wow, do you really make fun of your customers? You didn't think I would hear? I wanted to possibly share some ice cream with my pup...and wanted to be sure xylitol is NOT one of the ingredients, as that's highly toxic to dogs, but was laughed out of cafe. Kicker is my friend always tips well here and to be treated this way...should tell you they don't care about the customers, only see green. So unfortunate about the mean counter help...could be so much more! read more

(Chris Helmsworth voicover) The vibe is fab cafe right off the marina in Half Moon Bay. Rodolfo warmly greeted us! Eggs w/ Bacon x 2. Over medium for us. The hashbrowns were buttery crispy good. And of course the humongo bacon strips made me feel that world events and the Superbowl were gonna be alright! America! Cappucino w/ 4 shots. Yeah! Good! And don't tell anybody. I put a pad of butter in there. Yes, my gosh delish! And of course the Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice! The Fresh Squeezed OJ is definitely a fundamental building block of all great American breakfasts! Just glorious! It's the nutritious work of edible drinkable art that mother nature and citrus trees do on planet Earth do when she combines sunlight, CO2, water, and minerals! Yes, CO2 is a vital part of the eco system. Breakfast food is the perfect fuel for a great day! Muchas gracias, Rodolfo! Would order everything again! Woohoo! read more

I love this place. It's a long walk from my house, about 3.5 miles. The staff is friendly and the food usually comes out quickly. Their baked goods are very good. The quiches, can be a tad greasy for me, but otherwise a good choice. Not a big fan of their omelets, everything in the veggie one is fresh, but the eggs and the hash browns didn't seem to have much, if any, seasoning or salt. It's a great place to meet for coffee and a chat. read more

1/28/2023 - Date day is never complete without finishing it with something sweet. Nice little cafe just within walking distance to Half Moon Bay and restaurants. Ample amount of parking with both indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly, family friendly. On a side note: Sometimes, you can even catch fishermen's coming in after their catch of the day by the docking zone and purchase. We love coming here after having lunch at Barbara'a Fish Trap to get my gelato fix. The best gelato we've ever had was when vacationing through Italy. Every day was gelato during our 3 weeks trip to Venice, Florence and Rome. Nothing really compared to the perfect texture and flavors of original Italian gelatos, until I stumbled upon Caffé Mezzaluna. This place mimicked what we had in Italy, not 100%, but very close. I can't vouch for all the flavors because I always get the lemon. The lemon...Oh, it's so refreshing! Sweet, sour, icy, cold. All the goodness makes me salivate with each bite. Will need to try their other flavors one day. We also indulged in several of their pastries and cookies, but nothing memorable or exciting. Our bellies are always full with seafood from neighboring restaurants so we never have a chance to try some of their savory items. Perhaps one day. As I'm writing this review, I already know that I'll be making a trip soon to get my gelato fix. read more
