Like many people on this site, I have low expectations for new restaurants in Pacifica. I was impressed with High Tide. It's kind of your typical crepe place (ala crepe vine, and creperie in SF), but the quality's good and the people are friendly. . . on that note - it's nice to see a new game in town for the not-so-nice owner next door at nona's. read more

I love this place. Us Pacificans sadly don't have many good food options but at least we now have this place! It's a great addition to Pacifica and my family and everyone we know here loves this place. We love the burgers, salads, chicken pesto sandwich, home fries, cheesesteak, and some of the soups (they change daily so we've tried a few). The sandwiches come with fries and a basic green salad (always really fresh with a nice vinaigrette) so that's nice, and you can sub all fries/all salad/homefries as you wish. Even though it's a crepe place I just haven't managed to try one yet, though the dessert one with bananas and nutella is always calling to me. Refills on soft drinks is nice, and the owners and their family are the ones always working the place and they're all really friendly. We've been bringing our now 7 month old baby here since he was born and they are always accommodating and warm. Location right at the beach is great for people driving down Hwy 1 or want to head out of SF for an afternoon. You can park once and eat at this place AND hang out at the beach. read more

I have been to this restaurant several times, and love it. The food is good, with very large portions, there is a good kids menu, and the staff is very friendly! The location is great, very close to the beach. They have wonderful tropical iced tea, too. read more

LOVE this place! I'm trying to eat local these days and there aren't a lot of good local breakfast places is Pacifica. Got tired of going to Nonna's all the time so I was glad High Tide opened, plus they have crepes...my favorite! Great food...huge portions (your crepe or sandwich comes with a salad and fries or potatoes--get the potatoes!). Reasonable prices. Great location by Linda Mar beach. Kid-friendly. What more could you ask for?! My new favorite weekend brunch place! read more

Just right !! That's how I describe this place. Came across this place last year while looking for somewhere to eat after hanging out at the Pacifica Pier during "high tide" to watch the crazy waves hit the pier. My boyfriend and I now look forward to coming here when we can drive up. The crepes are the reason to come here, however the other food is good quality too. We can never decide if we want to have sweet or savory so we just order one of each and share, that way you get the best of both worlds! The salad that comes with the crepe is dressed with a delish vinaigrette and the potatoes are crispy on the out side and fluffy and hot in the middle. We have never been disappointed about a thing here. What a gem of a place in this city by the beach, you cant go wrong!! read more

Great location and great food. Be ready to wait in line on the weekend, but it's definitely worth it if you're looking for a good breakfast before you start a drive down the coast. The nutella crepes are a must! read more

I love this place! The staff is always in a good mood and super friendly. The food is awesome! I recommend the surfs-up omelette for breakfast with a glass of orange-carrot juice. Then walk down to the beach, build a sand castle or what have you... Then come back for lunch and get the fish tacos or a philly cheesesteak and pint of I.P.A.... Boom! read more

My family and I came to the spot and really enjoyed it. We came here at 8 o'clock when they're open and the staff was extremely attentive to us. The food was really good and the plates were filled with food and will not leave you hungry. As I mentioned above, the staff was attentive and checked on us every few moments.I even got a surprise dessert for my birthday. Place was spacious enough and clean. Would definitely recommend coming here and we're deathly come back. read more

All I can say is AMAZING! The service was great, the food delicious and the decor entertaining! Come for the food, stay for the staff...best place in Pacifica. read more

When in Pacifica, this is just a sweet spot for breakfast that never fails! Fresh juice, food, good coffee, and the service is on point!!! Quick and with always greeted with a smile ... very unlike the joint next door!!! Thanks HighTide!!! Will be back!!! read more

One of my go-to spots for breakfast or light lunch. Their breakfast burritos are outrageous!!

The lady on the register is not approachable. But the rest is fine. Price is ok, food is good and the place is quiet.

High Tide -- it's about time! The food is fresh and the choices are plenty. I ordered the Pesto Chicken and was really impressed with the distinct flavors and textures -- chicken, pesto, feta, sliced almonds. The house potatoes and fresh green salad with vinaigrette complemented the crepe perfectly. The portions were ample and the ambiance was casual and relaxed. While I didn't order any lattes, I do see they had it and I've heard from friends that their coffee drinks are good. Looks like an outstanding breakfast place (as well as lunch and dinner.) Do yourself a favor and check it out! You'll leave with that great feeling you get after eating a meal cooked with whole foods! read more

I ordered the burger. It was ok, except that the bun had so much flour on it that I ended up having to scrape it off. I gave up and took the bun off and just ate the meat. The side salad that came with it had so much dressing that I couldn't eat it. The others I was with loved their meals (salad and breakfast), but I was not thrilled. I don't plan on returning. read more

I'm giving this restaurant five stars based on its price class -- very reasonable. Keep in mind this is a casual dining experience, very popular with local surfers. The service was friendly and fast, considering all the food was prepared fresh. I had the Florentine savory crepe and the Apple and Cheese desert crepe. Along with the fresh salad and cottage fried potatoes, everything was really good -- as good as you would expect from a white linen restaurant. I would recommend this place to anyone, but keep in mind, my iPhone GPS totally steered us wrong. The restaurant is in the strip mall. read more

We just had coffee and breakfast at this nice beachside cafe. We have two small dogs we like to take for walks at the beach. High tide has three outside tables So we were able to relax outside enjoying our morning coffee. They brought us our food outside, I liked that. Many people in this area have dogs, it is fun to visit with them while having coffee. read more

My wife and I had a very nice time here. Not sure why some reviews were so harsh. It is a proverbial hole in the wall place to eat. Food was great for this price. Service was very good and food arrived to our table hot and tasty. Able to walk to beach after eating to cap a wonderful day here by the ocean. Will be coming back when traveling to half moon bay read more

Great food and great customer service. The Philly Cheesesteak is the best. You can get it with sweet or hot peppers. Or have a mix. The hot peppers are HOT! The sweet is absolutely delicious. I try to go here every time we visit Pacifica. Definitely recommend. Call ahead if it's during a lunch rush hour as they do get busy. read more

Excellent menu and fair prices. Family friendly serve. Great management and good chef. Too bad no dinner service yet.

Every time me and my friend drive on the coast we always stop by here! Food is amazing as always and it's always satisfying every time we stop by! Deciding what to eat is always a battle cuz their crepes are BOMB and so are their sandwiches and pasta! Service is good and they are on top if their game. read more

The best breakfast place in Pacifica! Tasty, friendly staff, quick, outdoor seating, love it! Excellent fresh squeezed orange juice too!

I love this restaurant. The food and staff are top notch with a great outdoor patio in the back. I've been a few times and have ordered the eggs benedict, chicken pesto crepe, strawberry crepe, shells & cheese (for the kids), the beach club and fish tacos. Not a single complaint on any of these. Portion size is good, the house potatoes are my favorite and I can't leave without getting some S.O.B sauce. Oh and the freshly squeezed OJ, I order it every time. Don't skip this spot, it's a gem with free parking and access to the beach, you'll be sure to have a great visit. read more

So my husband and father ate here on a Sunday afternoon. And we all have mixed opinions. I had the apple cinnamon n chedder cheese crepe with a side of bacon and two poached eggs. The crepe was out of this world! Probable the best crepe that wasn't made by me that I've ever had. But my eggs had kind of a weird flavor. Like they were cooked in lemon water or something. Bacon was good. My husband had the combination with blueberry pancakes eggs and sausage. He said eggs had no flavor and pancakes where over cooked. My dad got fish and chips and wasn't thrilled with them either. Service was good. They were very busy and the service wasn't too bad despite the business. read more

Great for breakfast and is outstandingly filling and satisfying... love their coffee and outdoors seating in the back... Certainly worth a try! read more

Great place ! Good food ! Love the fact it's near the ocean ! Eat here when I'm in the area. read more

On the way down the PCH from SF and spotted this brunch place. Got the surfs up omelette - very good, the chicken sausage was a nice spin, it was delicious. Others got the fresh squeezed orange juice - amazing - but a little pricy at $5. Crepes got great reviews all around the table. Highly recommended! read more

Honestly I wasn't expecting much when we went here but the food was pretty good, service needs some help, but overall a good experience. Ordered at the counter, it did take a long time for them to serve our drinks. So I kept thinking it was serf serve and went up to ask. No they would bring it. More time but finally delivered. Food arrived shortly after. I had a burger that was really very good. All meat cooked perfect lots of fresh lettuce, onion and tomato. My friend had the fish and chips which was also very tasty. Server came by to check offered to refill my drink and never came back. Oh well. I still walked away happy with my meal and chalked it up to too much surfing and pot for the counter people the night before. I would definitely go back if in the area. Huge back outdoor patio as well. Large and clean bathrooms always a plus read more

This was delightful after a surf at the beach. Turkey sandwich was perfect. Nice and light flavor. Good costumer service. Would recommend

The Corned Beef Hash Eggs benedict and crab avocado benedict were l amazing! Delicious local spot for an awesome brunch by the beach! New management and cooking staff, love the menu revamp. Definitely coming back! read more

OMG ! this place is a gem in Pacifica. Perfect location by the beach and the food is AMAZING! had the philly cheese steak and it was the best I ever had!

I will be recommending this place to all my colleagues and family! Thank you! read more

Fries were excellent, espresso was ok, crepe was soggy. Loved that hey had paper to go box for the crepe, did not like the plastic for the salad. read more

My boyfriend and I often dine at High Tide Café as well as many of our local friends and friends who visit from out of town. High Tide Café & Crepery is the place we always treat them to. So when our dear friend, asked us if we knew of a restaurant that he could host his 86th birthday party at, we convinced him that High Tides might just be the place! Our server that afternoon gave us a brochure and pointed out the phone number on the back and told him to ask for the manager. Approximately one month ago, we had made the reservation for the use of the back patio for July 5 at 2PM. The reservations were made with the wife of the owner. She assured them, even after they asked - many times -- about a deposit or rental charge that there was none and that the patio has an occupancy rate of 40 people. When they told her that there would be anywhere from 20-40 people, she said not to worry, that it would be fine and they would have the entire patio. The morning of the party, we phoned the restaurant and asked if we could bring our guitars to sing for the birthday man as he had requested. The staff on the phone told us they were not even AWARE the room had been reserved and we had to tell them to check the Master Calendar of which they then told us that no, it wouldn't be possible as it might bother the other diners on the patio. Then I was told that the room HADN'T been reserved and other diners could sit there as well. So knowing that the party was less than 2 hours away and many birthday guests would be arriving there soon, my boyfriend and I drove to the restaurant to get this straightened out. It was packed and absolutely no diners were in the back patio as there was a "Closed" sign on the door, even though one server told us that they always open the back patio on the weekends. Strange. There have been other weekends we have dined at High Tide and the back patio has always been closed, even when we asked about sitting there. We were told that there weren't enough servers. Needless to say, we were thinking this is very unprofessional and asked what it would take to get the room reserved. We were first told we could pay a $50 deposit. Then after looking at the room, the rate went up to $60. Strange again. Not wanting to disappoint o9ur birthday man and all his guests arriving from out of town, we paid the $60 in cash, as they had requested. At 1:30 when we got there to set up the decorations, there were tons and tons of flies! It was humid in the room and the flies seemed to love it. When we asked the attendant if there were any fly traps, he said no, there wasn't so not wanting our guests to feel like they were being bombarded - which they were as I watched one man getting attacked by 2 flies as he stood there talking to us - my boyfriend and a guest walked over to Ace Hardware and purchased a fly swatter and two different fly traps. They helped somewhat but not enough so we opened the back door which helped cool the room down a bit and gave the flies somewhere else to escape to. On top of us,having to provide a decent atmosphere without tons of flies for our guests and all the food which would be served, the server there swatted the flies with his dirty dish towel on the tables that had already been set, not even wiping them down afterwards. With all the flies, it was a huge health violation and eating outside with a small fraction of the flies would have been more sanitary than what we had experienced there. I'd recommend that for future room rentals they: 1. Clearly communicate the guidelines/rental deposits with the person wanting the rental and ALSO with the rest of your staff so there's no misunderstanding. 2. Have a physical document when renting their space. 3. Do something about those nasty, unsanitary flies in the back patio. 4. Deposits are different from rentals. Deposits are always returned. We never received any money back. The next business day, the man whose party it was went to try to straighten out the deposit situation and was told by one of their staff that the $60 was for the difference of the food bill as he paid $360 for all the guests' meals and apparently, the $60 was for the remaining balance of the $400 rental. (WHAT RENTAL???) Well, my math isn't always that good, but I DO know that $400 minus $360 equals $40 - NOT $60. Strange again! The explanations just keep getting stranger. First we're told there is NO Rental fee or Deposit and then all of a sudden, there's a $400 rental fee. This entire experience has left a really bad taste in our mouths. It was done extremely unprofessionally. We are very disappointed that one of our favorite restaurants has let us down and we don't plan on ever eating here again. We've already convinced our friends who have frequented this restaurant not to return. It's really, really unfortunate that a profession can be so irresponsible as this. read more

First time there a few weeks ago for a late breakfast on a Sunday and decided to give it a try since our brunch place was full and the first thing that the guy at the entrance said to us as we were waking in was, "just want to give you the heads up, we just seated a big group and there's at least a 45 min wait." Appreciate the honesty but most likely will not go back. It was only 2 of us! read more

Woohoo, I am so excited to be writing about a good restaurant in Pacifica. From my previous post, you may have noticed that I am constantly searching for a good place to dine in my home town...now I have another place to add to my list. High Tide for brunch yesterday, place was packed. Ingredients for my Crepe was so fresh, crepe was light and fluffy, home potatoes cooked to perfection. Price is a tad bit high, but as long as the food continues to be consistent I can part with that extra dollar. read more

I enjoy the chicken and pesto crepe here at high tide. Cute place to go to if you're in Pacifica.

So I've been here twice and both times i ordered breakfast. The first time was bacon and eggs and the bacon was nice and thick while the eggs were cooked perfectly medium. My friends got two different pasta dishes and really enjoyed them. The server or bus boy or whatever they are refilled our drinks several times so that was awesome! The second time I ordered the spinach omlet and it wasnt as good as I'd hoped it would be because it was really oily. Also, my friend ordered the bacon and eggs and ordered her eggs over easy, but they came over hard. I feel like this place has a lot of potential, but the omlet was my most recent experience and I really didnt like it. I like the fact that you pay up front and can leave whenever you feel like it, and I plan on coming back soon to give a better review! read more

Found this place on yelp while driving down the 1. But had to add my review to make sure yelp is accurate. Walked in with 2 buddies, we all ordered food then sat down. Waited for our food for 20 minutes. The first guys order didn't show up. Apparently they left it at the front because he said to go. The 2nd guys food shows up and no problem but the 3rd doesn't. I start noticing people who ordered after me get their food so I go up to the front and question. The order was never placed even though I paid already. He starts telling the cook to start the order but I tell him to cancel it because I don't want to make my buddies wait. Manager gives me an arrogant look and lucky the guy behind the bar is nice enough to be like. Just give him his money back. I go back to the table and notice he only refunded me for the omelet and not the coffee. Which had been sitting there so I can enjoy it with my breakfast. I go back up to the front and ask for my money back the manager again gives me a dirty look and says "but you already drank it" the guy behind the bar interrupts and again says just give him the refund and tells him what I had. Nobody's perfect. Maybe the dude behind the bar should give the manager a Customer Service 101 class. Because he at least knows how to communicate with people. You made the mistake as a business. And you should have apologized for the mistake not just give me the money so I leave and don't say anything in front of your future customers. read more
