It took sooo long just to get to the register to get an order in at this place. The poor guy at the cash register taking orders was clearly inexperienced, and when I walked in, he was already flustered by a couple of customers ahead of me. I think he may have been filling in for someone else, so hopefully they aren't like this all the time. When i finally got my order in, I paid for it via credit card, and he tried to give me the amount back in cash.....poor thing. I had to tell him that I'd already paid, and he didn't owe me anything. Food was actually 3-4 stars. Food came out lightning fast too. I had the pancake/egg/chicken apple sausage combo. Very generous servings. The OJ was fresh squeezed and delicious. I'd venture to try this place again, but will be prepared to be a bit patient with the cashier. A couple of tables outside in the front are dog-friendly. There are indoor tables too. And an outdoor patio in the back. They outdoor patio is not dog friendly, at least, they didn't offer for us to sit back there when we were there. read more

We specifically sought out High Tide Cafe because of the positive reviews, unfortunately we did not have a great experience. First, after ordered 2 plates of food, we waited almost an HOUR for it to arrive at our table, and when it did, I got my food before my fiance so I was almost done eating when his food arrived. The food was average - nothing worth waiting an hour for. The tables around us were also complaining about the wait time and when our neighbors finally got their food - their order was wrong. The waitstaff completely ignored all the tables, never once checking in on us, never apologizing for the wait or offering to comp something. Even when were able to flag a staff member down and ask for something they would hurry away and barely have a conversation with you. It was as if they were annoyed with every customer. And, even though it was extremely busy, the cashier still had time to walk around the restaurant eating a sandwich herself...which I thought was odd considering none of her customers had food, or glasses of water, or even utensils. read more

This is an excellent place to eat or have coffee. I have been here several times now and everyone is so polite. Only downfall is the parking. It appears that since beach parking costs money to park there they take up all the vendor parking. Keep up the good work High Tide. Pacifica needs more places like this one. read more

Nothing fancy but fantastic service, very accommodating and REAL food. We had three families with kids adults and grandma and grandpa ( me). We came back three times food was delicious each time, there was something for everyone; kids, those with allergies,. I'll f we come back this way, this is our go-to place. read more

Stopped at the High Tide for brunch yesterday while visiting Pacifica for the day. I have to say we were a bit disappointed. Atmosphere: Very casual, order at the counter type of place with inside and outside seating. Service: Ok. Can't really be bad since you order at the counter and they bring you your food although we did ask for water, the busboy forgot, then remembered and brought my husband water but no myself. Food: Sunrise Breakfast Crepe: Crepe was ok, seemed to be lacking flavor and could have been hotter. French fries were ok, small portion, nothing special. Side salad ok, simple mixed greens with vinaigrette. Avocado, Cheese & Salsa Omelet with Home Fries: Omelet was cold and the cheese wasn't melted. The homefries were quickly deep fried and lacked flavor. Toast wasn't toasted. Coffee: Not so great. Bill was $25 including a coffee and tea. Did see a lot off guests order the beach club which looked really good. Greek salad was also a nice size and looked good. We did notice a sign in the window regarding new ownership. Hopefully the new owner's will make some changes. If the new owners have already taken over they need to make lots of improvement otherwise their not going to last. read more

Yay! I love the food at this place! I always get crepes, or the High Tide Salad, (it's delicious!). The salad itself is so flavorful, and I like how unique it is. It's a pretty big portion as well. The entire place is cute, and I like that you can sit outside on a nice day. It's also near the beach so that's a plus, and it's pretty quiet. The staff lacks enthusiasm, though. Of the times I've gone, the staff have always seemed less-than-thrilled to be working. But, whatever, I still go because I like the food. read more

I find this place to be like a hidden gem in my eyes. I am a big crepe lover. I have had them from a lot of different places, but I find from here you get the best bang for your buck. The flavors are all there, and if your like me and can't eat cheese and other things, these crepes still hold up to the favor without the dairy products that should be laying within. The girls up at the counter always have a smile when you walk in, and if you don't know what you want and have questions they always have a good answer to the item that you are asking on. ((Knowledge is power.)) They have beer and wine so if your like me and with dinner with love a little bit wine they make it happen at around 7.00 for a glass. The one thing that I find neat that I haven't gotten at other places with my crepe is that it comes with a salad and fries or home potatoes, i always go with the home style potatoes, ((Pretty darn yummy)) They have so many other items on the menu that i have yet to try, but shall be trying at least everything there once. :) read more

High Tide has been a favorite local place for breakfast and lunch but I'm disappointed to say the last two times I have received terrible service Just this past Monday a friend and I went in for a mid-morning breakfast. Our food was slow getting to the table and the wait staff didn't check with us even once after our food arrived. We had to track down multiple employees for coffee and water refills. After asking several times for refills our drinks finally arrived AFTER we were already done with our meal. Round two... we called just about a half hour ago to place a pick-up order and were put on a "short hold" that lasted over 15 minutes. We hung up and tried to call back but weren't able to get through because the phone was off the hook. We finally gave up on the phone and went in to place a to-go order when we notified them their phone was off the hook and that we were put on hold for so long the waitress was rudely abrupt. The food is pretty but they need to work on their service BIG time. read more

Crummy cranky service. Great concept with an interesting menu but they need to learn to use a salt shaker or herbs. The sunrise crepe sounded interesting but was boring as hell. The potatoes were crispy but again, no salt. The straw that broke the camels back was when I spilled my OJ and when I asked for extra napkins to wipe it up I was handed a rag to mop up and summarily ignored by the guy at the counter. read more

I like High Tide. The food is good and the people who work there are friendly. The only issue I have is that three times they've gotten my order wrong. The first time, we were a party of four and they didn't get my order at all. I just sat there while everyone one else enjoyed their meals. The second time, they brought me the wrong soup (they have two to choose from). For some reason it then took them about 15 minutes to bring me the right soup. Then last week, I ordered a "Beach Club" on sourdough with house potatoes. It showed up on wheat with fries. It was good. Just not what I ordered. I'll keep going to High Tide. Like I said, I like it. I just wish they'd do a better job of getting the orders right. read more

Good, basic breakfast! I had the Surfs Up omelette and it was okay! Good coffee, nice servers, but busy & distracted...I had to go grab my own flatware & napkin after they brought my food! Sort of just okay...nitging negative...but nothing special either! read more

High Tide Cafe and Crepery - High Tide Creperie near Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica, CA - Creperies Near Me - Pacifica, California

I thought I wrote about this already? Anyway, I came here on Valentines. We ordered the strawberry crepes and coffee. Yummy. I am not a big crepe fan but this was good. Short and sweet. It's a cute little hidden spot in pacifica.They also have a backyard patio. Love, D read more

Two coffees and a hot chocolate for over $12 seems excessive. Plus the coffee is SO hot we can't even drink it. I've been here before and my crepe was delicious but good grief. We just wanted quick coffee for the drive home and our son won't be able to drink his cocoa until we're home and can add cold milk. The coffee itself is perfectly decent. My husband's mocha is overly sweet and has too much steamed milk - also he ordered a double and they gave him a single. It all took so long that he just left with the single. My coffee is still so hot I can't even hold the cup much less taste it, so I'm giving High Tide 2 stars for the coffee and 3 for the crepes. EDIT: The chocolate tasted a bit too sweet and had a funny taste to it, and now my husband and I are both bloated and gassy and feeling icky. Review reduced to two stars! read more

One of the few restaurants/cafes in Pacifica that is fun to take a group of girlfriends too. The atmosphere is clean and artsy. The food is great, for Pacifica. Real espresso and crapes! Great for a morning brunch. I highly recommend High Tide Restaurant. read more

Basically all the stuff you'd get at Squat and Gobble but with a nice drive by the beach (if the fog hasn't lingered in yet.) I've been here for dinner twice and each time have been greeted by a cashier/waitress who has an affinity for blue eye shadow and making it obvious when she's grown impatient (which is about 5 seconds after you reach arm's distance of the register.) But each time, I've made sure to smile and tell myself that maybe she forgot to water her plants at home and now she's angry at the world. Anyway, the food is alright. I'm not a vegetarian but always end up salivating over the vegetarian options. I've only had their sandwich/salad/french fry combos (Garden Burger and Panini Capresse) and I found both just average. But it hits the spot in that "I think I just want something simple that I could probably make at home but I'm too lazy to buy special ingredients" kind of way. I do like the feel of the restaurant. Although there's some direct signage that states tables with four chairs are for parties of 3 or 4 ONLY. My first three thoughts were: 1) what about American households made up of 2.75 persons? 2) Sucks for the guy with really large elbows. 3) Way to control seat dispersion, I guess. Anyway, if you're looking for a simple dinner by the beach, I recommend the place. If you're also craving crepes and Nutella and other goodies in one plate, then check it out. Maybe even look the scary blue eye shadow lady in the eyes and tell her everything's going to be OK. read more

My family and I stayed in Pacifica over the weekend and didn't know where to go for breakfast. We reluctantly headed toward the chain breakfast place as visions of bad coffee danced in my head. On a whim we decided to change plans and try the High Tide Cafe & Crepery instead, which we had seen the evening before. Great choice! The food was great and the coffee was perfect (with many options to satisfy all of our various coffee cravings). Service was speedy and very courteous. The menu options were plentiful (even though in the end we all opted for the same thing, blueberry pancakes, which were stellar!) I would go there again with pleasure! read more

Love this place! It never disappoints! The food is always delicious and portions are generous. The Chicken Pesto Crepe is one of my favorite items. They have beers on draft and they always have fun different drink specials. The mint mocha latte is so good. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. Although it's not a full service restaurant the staff make you feel like it is. They always came and check up on you and makes sure you're doing ok. On a nice day they open the back patio, which also have heat lamps. When in Pacifica High Tide is the perfect pit stop. read more

I visit High Tide pretty frequently, but only during the morning or early afternoon. Its typically really busy on weekend mornings with a brunch crowd. The two items I tend to order are the Basic Savory Crepe and the Beach Club Sandwich. The crepe is simple with just cheese and onions, served with a side of mixed greens dressed with balsamic vinaigrette and house potatoes. The Beach Club is also served with mixed greens and your choice of house potatoes or french fries. It has turkey, bacon, avocado, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. I usually get the sandwich on rye. There's a hefty amount of turkey and perfect amounts of mayo and avocado. Their coffee is decent and free refills, which is great. The service is consistent, but not anything out of the ordinary. The folks are always friendly, but rarely exceed expectations. The atmosphere is wonderful though. I love sitting outside in the sunshine. The patio is calming and the whole place is filled with cute art. I have gone with friends, boyfriends, and even my mom. I have seen folks with kids there as well. High Tide is just one of those places you can go with anyone and know what to expect. Overall, its a great place in a great location with good enough food. read more

I found my new favorite breakfast place in Pacifica. My wife and I shared a Sunrise Crepe and it was fabulous. Lots of provolone cheese, eggs, and sausage. The spring salad was fresh and the potatoes were crispy and delicious. Sharing one plate was plenty! Paired with a mimosa with fresh squeezed OJ and a cafe au lait, it was a perfect brunch in their outside patio. Beautiful paintings around the patio, too. read more

I just love this place! I usually create my own savory crepe and then order the strawberry Nutella sweet crepe afterwards. The service is excellent and the wait staff is very attentive with any special request. read more

Dropped in for breakfast on a Sunday. The place was busy (a good sign). Very casual and the service was great. We didn't get anything special (just some omelets, eggs, etc.). But the fresh OJ/carrot juice was great. Good breakfast, health choices, great service and good food, what else do you want! read more

My first time here.service was very good and quick my stake sandwich was too salty ,I will try something else next time read more

Super solid local place for brunch or a quick lunch. Service has been back and forth - most often very good, sometimes a bit lacking. The food is consistent, and it's great for kids. I just think they were shorthanded the last time we were there - food took a long time, and other tables nearby weren't being bussed - which is a challenge when people grab their own table. And sometimes the seating out back is a little dirty. But overall - handy to have nearby when we need a quick meal and don't feel like traveling too far. Sept '15 update - I went again last week. Still just as nice and consistent - but once again, obviously shorthanded. Tables around us weren't bussed, and there was the blatantly unhappy guy at the counter again. I don't necessarily need 'happy' service in a restaurant, but he seems extremely unhappy each time I'm there... read more

The perfect place to grab a bite after a walk on the beach or playing in the sand and water. I like this place. The people who work here are friendly and the clam chowder is great. Plus, it comes in a huge bowl! My friend had the cheese steak sandwich and it was too big for the both of us. I couldn't keep my hands off the home fries, though. Everybody should make fries like this. One suggestion, the walls need a really good scrubbing. I would've given them 5 stars if it wasn't for that. But I'll definitely keep these guys in mind when I'm hungry and in Pacifica. read more

I have no real problem with this place. It does some pretty clean food without much fuss. Prices for omelettes and crepes are very fairly priced, and service is quick. I really love their home fries because they're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nice touch. The only thing is that you have to wait for your food for quite a while, especially when there's no one there. Not a big deal though because you can just enjoy the view and hang out with a friend. Not a place for days when it's super foggy, but when it's sunny and warm, yum. read more

We stopped for breakfast yesterday morning. Very best omelettes that we have ever ate. All the ingredients were super fresh and the home fries were awesome. Food is excellent and the service is great. We will be back. read more

Cool location right by the beach. Food was good but service can be inconsistent. Not sure why. One pasta dish came out 15 mins after another. Crepes are decent, though I've only had the sweet ones. read more

Kind of pricey, staff is friendly, food is consistent and good!! Fun to come here when people are visiting as we can walk to the beach after we eat. read more

High tide has been a place that I enjoyed to order take out from and the food is pretty tasty. Last night though made me not want to order from them again and it was not due to the food, but the price. I ordered a large freak salad for pick up on my way home from helping a friend move. I went to pick it up and the nice staff member said 16.42. I was blown away and looked at their menu and she said the prices haven't been changed yet. I love their salad but not for that price. I wonder how much a burger is lol. read more

A friend and I made the short drive to Pacific this past weekend for some coffee and crepes at High Tide Restaurant. This little shop is perfectly located near the water--right beside a beach and some good little hiking trails. The crepes are big enough to split if you and a friend wanted to share. We almost split one, but there were so many options that we decided to each order our own. I took half of mine home with all of the potatoes. I ordered the Florentine Crepe, which includes spinach, mushrooms, glazed onions Jack & cottage cheese. The crepes are served with fries or potatoes and a small side salad. The Florentine crepe was pretty good. I wasn't blown away. I probably should have created my own to include some salty feta or something. I felt like it was missing something. It was enjoyable. Also, the wait staff works really well together. The place was super busy, and they were really good at being on their toes and making sure that every table was taken care of. I definitely enjoyed it, and I will be returning to create my own crepe or taste another creation. read more

So I feel like I got ripped off. I'm not interested In salad/ spinach on a plate. The food is ok but I paid way too much! Feels really cramped. They don't have much space and it shows. I feel like this place makes money but they need help. read more

The BF took me here for brunch recently. I was thinking... "Beach. Sunshine. Brunch. What a day!" Sadly, the experience could have been much better. The service was fine. The food was fine. The place was fine. Fine is just what it is.... it's just FINE. I was expecting much better, especially for a newer establishment. The menu is very easy to navigate, though one has to stand back a bit to really decide on their food. I was at a creperie, so I decided on a savory crepe for lunch. I ordered the chicken pesto crepe and ordered the potatoes. BF had the Beach Club with potatoes. Both meals came with a salad, already dressed with a balsamic vinegairette. I enjoyed my crepe. It was flavorful, evenly cooked, and dressed well. No complaints on my end, except that I was expecting home fries and was presented with plain chunks of deep fried potato chunks. A little rosemary, sea salt, and olive oil would take these potatoes to the next level. But I suppose it was my fault for having that expectation. BF on the other hand had a less than stellar experience. He asked for potatoes and got french fries instead (real disappointment because on his previous visit, he fell in love with the potatoes). We decided to trade potato sides because if I'm going to have plain jane potatoes, they might as well be in fry form. He also asked for no mayo on the sandwich, and got mayo slathered on the bread. We were very tempted to send his plate back, but we were both starving and it already took 30 minutes for us to get our food in a nearly empty restaurant. He scraped as much as he could off and enjoyed the rest of his sandwich--- though wishing he went with a different choice. Since it was a BEAAAUUUUTIFUL sunny day, we decided to sit outdoors on the back patio. Bad idea. All the tables were dusty, my chair was broken, and there was just crap piled EVERYWHERE. They have a front patio.... management should have either cleaned up back there first, or completely close off the patio. The server's station was in shambles and the bussers actually started piling stuff on a chair by our table because there was no space for it otherwise. Not very nice, and not very hygienic. EW. The food was decent, but for the wait... I'll just pass. read more

Went here last night with my husband, been very excited to try it. Pacifica is so lacking in good places to eat. I love to support the local businesses but they have to at least TRY to make decent food. This place succeeds! This place gives off a very happy vibe. I loved the brightness of it, especially the giant mural painted on one wall and th paintings that were hanging. They almost looked like they were for sale. They're not, but I am definitely wondering if they were painted locally. Anyway, the food. I ordered the Florentine crepe with onions, jack, spinach and cottage cheese. Came with a salad and house fries or french fries. I had the house fries. My husband ordered the burger with fries. We took our number and went to grab a table. The wait wasn't long at all. Really good size portions for the price, and my husband's burger looked great. One thing I did notice with mine is it seemed a tad oily on the inside. I'm thinking this was on account of the onions. Hubby said his burger was good. I really like their menu, can't wait to try some of the crepes with eggs and of course the sweet ones with nutella! Something I would like to see in the future.....a little more variety on what you can put into the crepe, and also the choice of regular crepe or buckwheat crepe, for those of us watching our white flour intake. Looking forward to coming back here with the kids. Very happy to have a place like this in our town, seems to be just what we needed! read more

This is the kind of restaurant you'd expect to find in Noe Valley. Luckily for me it's in P-town! I've been here for lunch a few times and so far it's been great. They have fresh squeezed juices that are made to order and a menu that caters to both the health conscience and non-dieters! The decor will remind you of a Pasta Pompedoro, but it looks good. read more

We found a new favorite eatery here on the coast. We went to this place around 3pm on New Years Day. We were pleasantly greeted by an older gentleman behind the counter with a hearty Happy New Year and were thrilled that there were a few tables available. We were both drawn to the Sunrise ( I think that was the name) on the savory side. Yummy! Both of our dishes were hot, tasty and brilliantly displayed. It came with a hearty heap of salad in a pretty yummy dressing ( I think it was a raspberry vinaigrette) . The menu is pretty great and you can create your own. The pricing was at a pleasant price point for what you get and the ambiance was pretty nice. I really enjoyed the psychedelic style artwork - It made for some great conversation. Great new place - I can see us hitting this up a few times a month. read more

Ended up here with some friends today. We had gone for a hike and were pretty hungry. The good: I got the egg and bacon plate, there was hellllllllllla bacon. Our food came out quickly. Husb said there was hella peppers and they were hot in his cheesesteak sammy. The not so good: My friends ordered right after we did at the cashier. We were over half done with our food by the time their food arrived. My friend's food was lukewarm. Though I did get hella bacon, it was not crispy and there was quite a lot of bacon grease on my plate. The scrambled eggs had some brown pan crisp on them. Their poached eggs had a bunch of water in the cup. Also, husband had to flag someone down for more coffee. While these are not serious things, the frequency they occurred in on one table is not good for me. If you also like your eggs tender and bacon crisp, I recommend you be specific with your order. read more

We happened upon this cafe and were pretty glad we did. We were in Pacifica scouting out a vacation rental for our upcoming wedding, and we both got hungry. We were on our way to Half Moon Bay when I spotted the cafe (the Creperie part caught my eye). So we checked it out on Yelp - solid 4 star rating, and decided to give it a try. I was quite surprised when we walked it to see such an extensive menu on the chalk board - it was the size of a wall pretty much. Lots of breakfast choices - omelettes, pancakes, crepes, etc. They also have sandwiches, pasta, and other lunch/dinner items. I got a crepe with chicken, pesto, tomato and spinach (it was supposed to come with cheese, but I subbed it out for the spinach). I was really pleased with how yummy it was! They were not stingy with the pesto at all - my crepe ingredients were practically swimming in it. But it was truly delicious. The potatoes that came with it were just ok - I've had better and had worse. At least I don't think they were frozen potatoes. My fiance got the spaghetti and meat balls. They actually make their own spaghetti sauce there - but he said it was only ok. The meatballs are not made there, which was fine. He said his food was only ok. One of the cashiers was very nice and helpful. It would have been nice if the other would smile - but that didn't happen, unfortunately. The words out of her mouth were nice, but there just wasn't a smile to go with it... Given the lack of choices in HMB, I'd definitely come here over many eatery options in HMB. Will definitely come back to try more of their menu. We saw someone eating a good portioned salad while we were there. Oh, I took a few pics of their funny signage on the tables :) read more

I was craving crepes so I ordered the chicken with pesto crepe with a side of potatoes and salad and fresh-squeezed orange juice. It was pretty good. The pesto was a little inconsistently spread on the inside of the crepe but that's ok. There was plenty to spread around. Service was ok. The server checked up on us. I'll come back for dessert crepe or breakfast. read more

Good Menu. Good location. Nice family run shop that's hipper than Denny's with a spiffier menu AND outside seating. Tucked in there on Pedro Point by the FRESH AND EASY, good breakfast spot in Pacifica. Mom and Pop are a little tired and sleepy, but they keep the teenagers hopping. Nice local business addition WITH outdoor seating and no view but you can hear the ocean cause it's just on the other side of this business :) I'll bet you could sit outside in your wetsuit and get full sit-down service. YUM! read more
