    This was a pleasant surprise on our way back from Pescadero. What once used to be a local market, then a gas station, is now turned into this neat little café (with plenty of parking). I was surprised to find this is a nonprofit, used to teach high school students how to run a kitchen, café or restaurant service, and manage their finances. The food was also quite good, with my favorite as the edamame sandwich. It's a neat little place to check out, that's full of history, if you end up being in the area!

    Loma Mar Outpost is in the middle of the redwoods and a perfect spot to stop in the middle of a weekend drive. While the menu is smaller, it provides a calming and more relaxing atmosphere than Alice's just up the road. Loma Mar has a great selection of muffins, cookies, and croissants. The outpost's refrigerators are stocked with ice cream, beer, and other weekend necessities. We ordered lunch, which had a short hiccup that was immediately fixed, and ate on the deck which was perfect. Highly recommend an oatmilk cappuccino, avocado toast, and the open face tuna sandwich. Oh, and don't forget to grab an ice cream sandwich on the way out!

    Really love the burgers here. Anything with beef is a win at this location. They source the beef from a nearby ranch. They also make their own kimchi with non traditional veggies. They also have a music stage outside and events for special days Pros: The burger was really juicy . The reuben was also really good. Almost no wait time. Really quaint place on Sunday morning. Ample Parking. Cons: Matcha latte was bit slate Restroom is a porta potty

    Brownie and a Malvasia Bianca wine

    It takes a bit of effort to find this place and get to it, but it's worth a quick stop at the very least! Just over 6 miles further down the road from Pescadero lies this small establishment which has been around since 1930. The selection on offer is not large, but there are a couple of interesting things which I hadn't seen elsewhere such as a Malvasia Bianca canned wine from Monterey. I also grabbed the last brownie because I can never say no to brownies, as long as they aren't the kind that have an obnoxious wad of chocolate frosting on top. Thankfully their brownies are not that kind and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't loaded with sugar either! Light, somewhat fluffy, not overly sweet and packed with chocolate goodness. Just the way a quality brownie should be! Keep in mind that they have certain hours at times when the kitchen is not open, so if you're looking for hot food, you may need to plan your trip accordingly. We proceeded to go hiking in Butano State Park afterward, but they were hosting a community dinner that would've been fun!

    tater tots, sandwich, and burger!

    Welcoming and super friendly at the counter. They had live music out on the deck and the parking lot is a wonderful alternative to the perennially overcrowded Alice's. The food has no business being this good out in the woods and honestly I think what you get and where you get it, they should have a 1 star or at least be on the recommended list. A standout not just for their location being a stones throw from Pescadero beach, but the vibe this place has. They even have free wifi! I'm for sure coming back.

    BLT. Like the pickles on the side.

    First time visit to this gem amongst the trees. A beautiful drive to get here which attracts car enthusiasts such as my husband. Quaint, delicious food, including baked goods. A lovely place to hangout and enjoy nature with outdoor seating plus there's an indoor living room type area to relax and read a good book. We enjoyed our very reasonably priced sandwiches (chips not included). I ordered a Rueben and liked the fresh cabbage versus the typical sauerkraut. Very filling. Will make this a regular driving destination for the food. Less crowded than Alice's Restaurant and just as good.

    I've spent the past two weeks commuting back and forth between Daly City and Santa Cruz. Today I decided to take a leisurely ride home up the coast. I've spent too much time in Pescadero and San Gregorio to count, so after a quick stop at Swanton Berry Farm, I made my way to Loma Mar for the best Reuben I've ever put in my mouth. I'm from NJ and have eaten at the original locations of every iconic New York Deli--even those that have shuttered after decades. Katz's, Stage, Carnegie, Junior's...I'm a pro. This is not your usual NYC Reuben. It's a thick slice of hot, crunchy-ended, indulgently fatty corned beef on liberally buttered and grilled rye, with a molten slice of Swiss dripping down the sides. The sauerkraut is clearly house-made and crunchy--not flimsy. The *Ukranian* dressing made me extra happy. I washed it down with an perfectly tart unsweetened hibiscus tea. I devoured most of it before remembering to take a picture. It was *that* good. The worst thing I can say is that it took 15 minutes for my sandwich to arrive, but I spent the time outside enjoying the last bit of sunshine before it sunk behind the redwoods, and bought a sticker from their cute little store. There's also WiFi since cell signals are scarce in these parts. My first visit to Loma Mar will not be my last!

    This place is a delight! Cozy historic cabin, recently and beautifully renovated, nestled in the middle of the forest. A great mix of cafe and meal items made with high quality, often local, ingredients. Husband said their Rueben sandwich is the best he's ever had. Staff is super friendly - very strong local neighborhood hangout vibes. We haven't been to many of their special events (live music, etc) but they host quite a few, and sometimes have special items on the menu for those occasions (eg a special Valentine's Day dinner). Definitely stop by if you live in the area or are enjoying a day trip to/from the coast.

    Eggs + potatoes w/ rye and chicken apple sausage :)

    Such a cute stop! Got the eggs and potatoes dish on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend!

    It was Memorial Day weekend and we decided to bring my parents for a short road trip in the…read morePescadero area cruising along the coast towards Santa Cruz. I wanted to stop off at the popular Pie Ranch before heading more south. We arrived at the pie farm stand on a Sunday afternoon recently. Pie Ranch is located in a nice road side area along the coast on Hwy 1 close to Davenport. Parking is limited in the small dirt parking lot out front. The pie farm stand looks like a rustic wooden barn from the outside and a state park visitor center in the inside. There was an outdoor small library for kids by the entrance which I thought was a nice touch. It's a free take one leave one book stand. There was a farmer's market vibe inside with local vegetables, fruit, baked goods, and locally produced pantry items for sale. Pie Ranch branded gifts and merchandise were on display as well. We ordered 2 strawberry streusel cutie pies, 1 lemon buttermilk blueberry cutie pie, 1 chocolate chip cookie, 1 frozen strawberry streusel whole pie, and 1 lemon better milk blueberry whole pie. All of the cutie pies were delicious. The cutie pie size was about right since we were sharing everything. The chocolate chip cookie was moist and gooey with loads of chocolate. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Pie Ranch. The staff were nice and helpful. There was a back patio with a few picnic tables that looked inviting. We enjoyed our food out there. The environment was family friendly. The price point was more in the high end but I understand due to location and everything was fresh, locally produced. I was happy to finally visit but I'm not sure when I will be back again.

    A small assortment of small pies and large pies, which are very expensive, are available here…read more Small pie = $9 Normal sized pie = $40 We were shocked at the prices and saddened by the unfriendly, cold cashier on site.
