    Before heading to the beach, my brother and I made a quick coffee stop at Craftsman Coffee since it was conveniently along the way. The ambiance and overall vibe were really nice and perfect for a relaxing coffee break. We ordered the Hazelnut Latte and Banana Latte, and both drinks tasted great. However, for the price, the cup sizes felt a bit small and the drinks had a little too much foam for our liking. Still, it was a nice experience, though we eventually ended up stopping by another coffee shop for a second round of coffee.

    Craftsman Coffee is located in a warehouse that is nicely decorated and very welcoming! Street parking only. Service: Not even a hello from the lady making drinks but the guy at the cashier was nice enough. Drinks: $18 something for two 10oz lattes. Now, I wouldn't have minded the price if the drinks were good but they weren't. Lavender + vanilla lattes - Both tasted super watered down and lacked creaminess, even with whole milk. We would love to support smaller businesses but if they're charging way more for smaller sizes and subpar drinks... hard to make us come back for more.

    This cafe has a laidback vibe -- a converted garage with a mobile coffee truck inside with seating and vinyl records playing. I ordered the Kali Mocha with oat milk, it was rich, not too sweet, and foamy. They have some merch available like sweatshirts, and other small trinkets. Service was pleasant and the clientele was a mixed crowd but all very relaxed. Their pastries were sold out but I would come back to try them.

    A Pacifica GEM, my go to coffee spot for consistent taste and feel. The team is always so lovely to see when visiting. Absolutely love the heated benches and casual sit down feel. And not to mention I love the pop up weekend events they host!!

    I discovered Craftsman Coffee on Yelp and Tiktok, and had the opportunity to visit on a Sunday afternoon! It's close to home for me, so I'm happy I can visit this place as often as I can! The inside is aesthetic with the shop operating from a truck in a garage/warehouse. I think that's cool because they can use the truck for events with a minimal setup. The seats they provide for the shop are heated too! That was surprising to discover especially since it gets cold in Pacifica. There's plenty of room to sit and just relax or work remotely. I ordered a Lavender Latte while my boyfriend ordered a Gingersnap Latte. Both were so warm, fresh, and delicious. Very quality craft coffee. They also sell some items from small businesses, I love that support! Would definitely take my friends here to visit and also whenever I need a coffee for the day

    Craftsman Coffee is a cute little coffee shop located at 1750 Francisco Blvd in Pacifica, CA. They have a modest selection of coffee and tea. I had a Tea Black Earl Latte. And it was really good. Drinks were fairly priced. Staff were cordial. Atmosphere was relaxing and they have a pac-man arcade. Overall, it's a nice coffee shop.

    Cool little spot for a coffee fix before seeing the majestic coast. It looks like a cozy converted garage with a cute food truck vibe inside. Relaxing music and quiet atmosphere. I got the salted honey rosemary iced latte. It tastes pretty good but it only had 2 ice cubes in it so it wasn't that cold. It tastes just as the description. Salted, slightly sweet, creamy with a delicious coffee taste. FYI. There is no bathroom here so be prepared for that. Service is fast and coffee came out quickly.

    Nice and cozy coffee spot in Pacifica. The service was pretty good. I tried their Banana latte and I loved it! I loved that they partner with different local bakeries for their pastries. I can't wait to come back again!

    I love having Craftsman Coffee by my house. Whenever I don't feel like making my own coffee at home, or I simply would like to try something new, I go there. It is such a cute spot and their coffee is fresh and delicious. I also really like their beans.

    What a fun spot to stop for some lovely caffeinated beverages! I loved the vibes here and the fun "beach garage" inspired decor, including a full size truck as the serving counter. We ordered and waited only a few moments for our hot cups of goodness to warm us up on a cold and foggy beach morning. The staff was very nice and offered other local recs for the area, too. The coffee here was great and they serve locally made pastries in the mornings. I loved the coconut cream tea latte. Very unique and I was quite surprised how much I liked it. Killer vibes and great beverages- though on the pricier side for the area! Enjoy!

    Unique spot with a comfy ambiance & good drinks. It is not dog friendly in the sense that you cannot bring your dog in with you to order - you'll need to have them stay outside - keep that in mind if you're on a solo walk with your doggy. I've visited a few times and have mostly tried oatmilk matchas and lattes. All times my drinks taste good & the service is friendly and quick. They have a few tables and seating area inside and a small area where they small artisan items and gift cards for their cafe. To me it's a bit pricey. They prefer cash - I spend a little over $7.50 for a single 10oz drink each time I come and pay with card. Overall, I think it's definitely worth checking out when in Pacifica.

    I really wanted to gatekeep this place. I'm sorry Soul Grind, you'll always be my original bestie and you're still amazing, but I've officially found my new favorite coffee spot in Pacifica. I honestly don't even remember how I came across Craftsman Coffee. I think it only had two reviews when I found it and I was like wait what is this hidden gem I've never heard of. So I made the drive and wow. It's tucked inside what looks like a warehouse, and they serve out of this adorable little truck setup inside. Super lowkey, super cool, and just good vibes all around. Let me tell you something - LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING . You have to get the pastries. I don't care what diet you're on. Don't think, just do it. I had this cream rhubarb thing that I don't even fully understand but it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The strawberry pastry, the chocolate twist--every single one was fire. Pair that with a simple oat milk latte and I'm literally holding back tears. That combo is peace. I also tried the strawberry matcha and it's a solid 4.9 out of 5. Refreshing, balanced, and just enough sweetness. What really makes this place even better is the energy. They have heated benches. Yes, heated benches that you can adjust yourself. You can curl up with a book, sip your drink, and just melt into the moment. There's also a Pac-Man machine and a bunch of cute, quirky little things you can buy around the space. It's got charm and personality without trying too hard. From the vibe to the drinks to the pastries that live in my dreams, this place is something special and I'll keep choosing it again and again. 5.1/5

    Chocolate croissant, banana latte, caramel cold brew

    I was looking for spots in Pacifica for some coffee and came across this place. It had good reviews and 4 1/2 stars so we gave it a try. It's very modern inside with a good ambiance but that's the only excitable part of our experience here. I ordered a banana latte and my boyfriend ordered a caramel cold brew. The girl at the register goes "We have one pastry left, would you guys like to take it" and we took it as "it's on the house" especially since we didn't mention getting any food and it was indeed the last one. So we ended up getting charged for the 2 drinks and chocolate croissant. We get our drinks and immediately looking at my boyfriend's cold brew I knew it looked off. It looked super watery, but we gave it a shot. His cold brew was as it looked, watery with no taste of caramel or coffee. My latte tasted so burnt and watery as well, I couldn't bare the taste. We both ended up throwing away our drinks and had no faith in them remaking it, since both the latte and cold brew was a disappointment.

    I really loved this place!…read more Came for a weekend away and walked by this little gem. It's a super cute little coffee shop that has some adorable vintage decorations. They even have some toys for the kids to play... I love a kid friendly place! We ordered several coffees including a drip, zebra latte, lavender latte and toasted Marshmallow one, a Mexican coffee and even a hot chocolate for the kiddos (sorry I forgot the actual names of the drinks lol). seriously all of them tastes amazing!!!! Great quality coffee!! We even ordered some breakfast sandwiches (those are just decent) but the apple fritter was delicious! Also the prices are extremely fair! The guy behind the register was maybe one of the friendliest workers I talked too that entire weekend in Pacifica. Great kid, super personable! My only complaint is that they don't have a location near my house!!!! This would definitely be my new coffee shot! Definitely grab yourself a cup of coffee when you're in town!!!

    Loved that this place is super walkable from the hotel we stayed at, which made it an easy stop…read more When you walk in, it has a nice open layout and even an upstairs area so it feels a bit more spacious than your typical coffee spot. It looked like there was just one person handling both the cashier and drink orders, but he managed everything really smoothly. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and honey and when he finished it, he realized he accidentally made it with vanilla syrup instead. Without hesitation, he remade it right away and even offered me the first one for free, which I thought was really kind and showed great customer service. The matcha itself was decent but it wasn't nothing mind blowing but definitely good enough to enjoy and sip on. It had a nice balance and wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. What really stood out more than anything was the service. The guy was friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive, which made the experience better overall. If you're looking for a quick matcha fix in a convenient location with solid service, this is a good spot to check out!

    I got 2 sandwiches here, the turkey and the Italian hoagie, and it was an execution in KISS*…read more   Open interior, bright and airy, always music. Typical cafe with sandwich situation. If they're busy, they might forget to call your name and you'll need to go get the food yourself, which is frankly impossible to fathom when you come from San Francisco. But Pacifica is different, y'know?   Anyway.  ------------------------------ First, the turkey sandwich. 5/5 I'm guilty of expecting the meat to be the focus on a sandwich, but in this case the turkey was the filler, which, as a carnivore, is there a better meat filler? Bread, dijon, lettuce, turkey, queso. The dijon did for flavor what the lettuce did for texture, throwing in a twang that kept the sandwich interesting. Its creaminess tag-teamed with the cheese to keep the sandwich in one piece. Great sidekicks. The turkey was... Nothing special. Clean but mundane, for the star of the show was the bread.    Some of you might roll your eyes.  No shiet, Sherlock.  THIS. IS.  A bakery.   Cuz some of you might roll your eyes.  It's just bread.    But this isn't wonder-bread. It's dense. It's got a chew.   The sourdough is minimally sour, hearty, with a thick, hard crust, and made matrimony with the turkey. A lil bit of salt, the slightest tang, tango-ing into a single texture. Those of us who've had an egg sando in Japan understand how the softness of the egg salad made the softness of the bread fundamental. The turkey here wasn't slipping anywhere, though it complimented the meatiness of the bread. This, sandwich, needs, teeth.    I hope you weren't expecting to eat turkey without teeth. Perhaps that's tofurkey you're thinking about.   The crust was hard too. A well supported, almost crunchy hardness, and a far cry from the st-ale pork rind that the free bread in Mont-real would remind you of. I ended up turning the sandwich sideway as if I was enjoying a taco.   The best panera you'll get and a supreme sleeper.   ------------------------------ The second sandwich: 4/5 The sesame studded hoagie, on the other hand, was nothing short of Guns N' Roses. This sub had a KISS of intensity from the seared meats, a KISS of spice from the mayo and capocollo, a KISS of sharpness from the provolone, and a single leaf of romaine to give that little crunch and freshness, so you can tell your mom that you ate your veggies. There's going to be a rock concert in your mouth. With each element in a bit to prove their existence, it ended up being too intense for us. With these all being strong flavors, it's amazing that you could still taste everything. And they work well together. It's just that your taste buds will send an SOS, walking out of a Black Sabbath concert feeling a bit drained, like Spongebob breaking down after working the tables at Squidward's five star restaurant. The crustiness of the roll, the studded texture of the sesame, the meat escarpment slipping out, you will have no more desire for thee. Water. Something to cleanse the mouth.   If you're one of those among us who gets sweet emotions eating curry without naan or rice, this could be your bad medicine.   * Keep it simple, stupid.

    First time visiting! The pastry window is beautiful. I ordered the blue corn cookie, chocolate…read morecrossaint, and kouigan aman. Reviews of each: Blue corn cookie - subtle sweetness, great grainy texture that I really enjoy. Very light almost like the essence of a Madeline cookie. Chocolate croissant - I would pass on this next time, it's very light and it's got good air pockets but chocolate is definitely lacking. It's not as dense compared to some other popular SF bakeries if that's the texture you're looking for. Kouigan amann - my favorite one. Crispy, sweet, with I think a pistachio pastry cream in the middle. Will try coffee next time. Overall prices are pretty competitive and up there but in this economy it's understandable.

    Such a gem in Pacifica!!!! You can't miss it. It's right off the highway from Pacifica to Half Moon…read moreBay. I've been wanting to try and am grateful we did! Highly y recommending you book beforehand as the place fills up fast. Once you booked, you pre-pay for everything and just come and enjoy your tea on the day of. This place is so cute! It's located near Rockaway beach, a nice area in Pacifica. There are ample parkings in the back of the store. From outside vibes to the indoor decorations with all the tea sets and cute little tables and small mirrors and trinkets on the walls. It reminded me of Bridgeton and Victoria time. I could spend an entire afternoon here looking at all the cute tea set. Because we had our puppy with us, we opted for an outdoor seating which was equally as nice! Large white-and-yellow-striped umbrellas gave us some needed shades as it was a sunny day. Our table was covered with cute table cloth and everything looks neat and clean. We were started with teas first, and each of us got to pick our own tea. My sis picked the Lychee Rose Green as I had my eyes on the Dragon well. Our teas came out fast and were quickly followed by the yummy high tea display. Starting from the bottom, we had Cucumber with Dill Cream Cheese Chicken, Apple, Walnut, Cranberry Salad Cream Cheese with Guava Jam, Pastrami with Cabbage Salad. This was followed by a warm Scone with Clotted Cream & Jam; a toasted Crumpet with butter & Lemon Curd; and a selection from their Sweet Tray! Everything was so delicious and paired so well with our selections of teas! The service was attentive as well as they checked on us frequently and refilled our tea pots when needed. We had a wonderful time here, slowing down and enjoying the smaller things in life :)

    I always feel bad leaving lower reviews, but this one did not meet any of our expectations (there…read morewere 5 of us). Maybe we expected more since we really enjoyed Lovejoy's the last couple times we went there (I believe they share the same owner, but I may be mistaken). While we give the buttery and fragrant scones very high marks, and the salad and the crumpets were ok, the sandwiches and desserts were not great. The bread was dry and the filling was skimpy compared to many other high teas we have tried, and the petit fours were plain and seemed store-bought. The crumpets came after the desserts because they forgot to serve them to us (not a big deal and they were very apologetic). For the price, we expected more than one tiny item from the dessert tray. The teas were all lovely, but they were out of their Pacifica Blue tea which we were specifically looking forward to trying. This is the 12th tea service we have tried in the past couple years, and we find that we prefer teas that include an assortment of more deluxe dessert items (like SIP or Rotunda in SF), and sandwiches that are made with a variety of breads such as rolls or mini croissants along with the traditional sliced bread, and with more generous filling.
