Foggy misty morning on a patio reminiscent of driftwood. Main room has a single table, shelves filled with local foods and ceramics, a counter loaded homemade savory pies like lamb curry and Shepards and sweets like danish. Second room has local art for sale on the walls and games to play. Now the coffee. Reminds me of the Berkeley cafes before chains dominated, and the quality of coffee actually mattered. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I believe they are using bittersweet chocolate in the mochas we ordered- it's delicious. 2 mochas, add a shot to one, whipped cream on top, under $14. Friendly staff. Why can't I get a mocha like this in Berkeley?! - it used to be the heart of the cafe world!! On the way out we checked with barista - it is Dandelion Chocolate! Fantastic! read more

Sage Bakehouse - The beginning of a solid cup of coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montara, California

- there's a small parking lot behind the shop - we came here as a quick pit stop for some caffeine but I'm so happy we did! - they sell candles, coffee, cute cookies, mugs and more on the left side of the entrance - we got a hot and cold latte and the lamb and mushroom meat pie - everything was genuinely so so good!! The lamb in the pie was tender, a little too salty for me but eating it with the crust balanced it out - the latte was the best I've had in a long time! Espresso was strong and most importantly smooth and pleasant tasting read more

Great coffee, even better pies! Stumbled into Safe Bake House and I'm so glad I did. The coffee is excellent, smooth, well-pulled, and clearly made with care. But the real stars are the pies. Flaky crust, generous filling, and that homemade taste you just can't fake. There's a great little selection beyond the pies too, plenty of baked goods and treats to keep you coming back to try something new each visit. The unexpected bonus? They've got chess! Pulling up a board with a hot coffee and a pie is honestly the perfect way to spend an afternoon. It gives the place a cozy, lingering vibe where you actually want to stick around. Friendly spot, great quality, and a little something extra. Highly recommend! read more

Good local coffee shop in Montara that is right off the highway. We needed coffee on the way to HMB and stopped by here to grab some. Son got the iced vanilla latte which he said was a bit milky but otherwise good. I wanted to get the apple pop tart for my hubby but they were out. I got a chocolate chip cookie instead. He enjoyed the cookie. The shop is quaint and cozy, a good place to work or read. Getting to the front door involved walking on an unpaved trail with gravel, but not too bad. Service was decent but not the friendliest. read more

Love love love their pies! The cafe is so cute and has live music, so close to nice nature nearby too. I definitely have a craving for their chicken pot pie and their Australian beef is also very good. The pies are also cute with a little figure on the surface indicating what's inside. Next time I'll get some frozen ones to bring home. read more

Cute, quaint café with a homey, rustic vibe and a cozy outdoor seating area. It's a counter-service spot, so you order first and then find a seat. The pies are served straight from the counter warmer. The pies were delicious! The crust was perfectly flaky, and the filling was rich and flavorful. I think it would have been even better if it had been warmed up a bit more before serving. The cafe drinks were excellent too and paired perfectly with the pie. Overall, a lovely spot! read more

WOW! WOW! WOW! Before heading to HMB, I researched what to eat around the area. This gem Sage Bakehouse popped up on Google maps. They sell Chicken Pot Pies! We love us some Chicken Pot Pies. After a long beach day at Montera State Beach. We decided to check them out. I'm so glad we did. I Decided to get 3 OG Chicken Pot Pie , 1 Habanero Chicken Pot Pie, 1 Minced Beef N Chedder Pot Pie and 1 Shepperds Pot Pie. If you buy 5 you get 1 free pie. They sell them frozen. It comes with clear instructions to bake at home. So far we've only tried to OG and Habanero. It what AMAZING! it was meaty and packed with flavor! The Habanero Chicken Pot Pie was SPICY which I love! I mean it's Habanero it's supposed to be spicy. Although the Pot Pies are on the small side. Still very delicious. They also sell other food items, coffee and other beverages. We just came here for the Pot Pies. Workers was friendly and helpful! When we got here I see people seating outside already enjoying their meals and drinks. Sage Bakehouse is located right on Pacific Highway 1. Nice big black bold sign with white letters you can't miss it! We will definitely be back! read more

Oh em gee. I was able to try them at a closer location, thanks to the San Mateo County inviting them to have a pop-up at Sawyer Camp. I wanted everything on their menu, but only allowed a sausage roll and a minced beef pie. They had other savory pies like chicken pot pie, mushroom and Swiss, and breakfast pies. You honestly can't go wrong with any of them. If they happened to have the sausage rolls, get them. But if I'm in line behind you and you take the last sausage roll, I will fight you for it. The spicy one was to die for. It's not too spicy, it's like those spicy Italian sausage. Very flaky, not too heavy, but they don't skimp out on the meat, so you will be full. I absolutely loved the fennel seeds in the sausage! I just don't know how to be full, so i tried their pie too. While the minced beef pie was good, it wasn't as great as the sausage roll. This is a piece I am willing to trek all the way down the 1 for. read more

We were in town for a girls' weekend trip and this coffee shop was right next to our air bnb. It's very cute. The staff was super friendly. The coffee was really good as well. We got the Irish cream coffee and their special blueberry matcha coffee. Their home made pop tart, oh my god, so good! We got the strawberry raspberry one and it was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Definitely recommend people check this place out read more

Sage Bakehouse - Patio view - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montara, California

Very cute neighborhood coffee shop that serves savory/sweet pies, baked goodies, and coffee (obviously). Dog-friendly and the staff are also very pleasant. Nick (not sure if this is the same person who helped me, but it's the name on the receipt) was patient with me as I pondered my choices and asked about what pastries were available. We ended up getting an iced vanilla latte ($6), cold brew ($5), fig walnut scone ($4), and an espresso chocolate cherry pecan cookie ($4). I thoroughly enjoyed the vanilla latte and could actually see the specks of vanilla bean! It was initially VERY sweet, but it's because all the syrup was pooled at the bottoms. Onced mixed in, it was perfect. The scone was a big winner. I should have bought more to enjoy later on! It was soft and fluffy and just everything a scone should be. The cookie was decent, but I'm just not a bit chocolate person. I just wanted to try it out because it sounded interesting. They also offer some merch and other novelty items for sale. There's things like watermelon seed milk, doggie treats, and sugar cookies by @raemariebakes and they looked SO CUTE! Would definitely come back again if I'm in the area! read more

I was on my way to Montara state beach and decided to stop for lunch. When I discovered that the bakery makes Australian savory pies, I was so excited (their local competitors are few and far between in Vallejo and Windsor). I bought the traditional Aussie pie, the sausage roll and a chai latte. The pie was excellent, and the cafe knew to have ketchup on standby to complete the experience. The sausage roll was a letdown - the filling was crumbly and the pastry was too thick. They should try filo for a more authentic texture. I loved the dog friendly patio and the option to buy frozen pies (buy 5 get 1 free). I will certainly return when on the coast! read more

Pies are excellent, great flavor and fun variety. They change the menu nearly by the hour, whatever is hot at the time is what is available, which is fun for diversity but a bit of a bummer if you are looking forward to having something again--it may not be there. Limited selection close to opening on a Sunday, which feels odd considering you would expect that to be a busier day/time for them, but the west coast, and a small coastal town specifically, moves slow. Overall, when there is a good selection of sweets, savories, and sausage roll, this is an awesome spot. Coffee is ok, depends on the barista that day. They have acai as an option as well if pie isn't your thing, the granola tastes homemade. View and vibe inside can't be beat. read more

Strange little hole in the wall place. We were arriving at our VRBO in Montara and looking for a quick dinner. Not much to choose from here. I stopped about 4:30pm Tue 07/14 for a meat pie which I love but they are hard to find. These pies are pretty small and the selection was not great at this time of day. The online menu does show pictures but I was a little shocked at the small size for the price. Looks like it's a handy coffee stop. We were the only customers so can't really comment on service. The person who waited on us was friendly. read more

It's an Australian bakery with different types of savory breakfast pies. I got the chicken pot pie and it was delicious with the hot sauce. They also have handmade pop tarts, it was cold so I wish it had been warmed up. The service could have been friendlier, but it was quick. There's a small parking lot or street parking on the street behind. read more

Great local coffee shop with the best scone I've had in the Bay. I usually get the cold brew and it's always been smooth and easy to drink black. Service is good and the space is dog friendly. Even though it's a 20-25 min from where I am located, it's worth it. read more

Absolutely loved this place. The vibe is great, the drinks were delicious, and the savory pies are seriously some of the best I've had. The crust is perfectly thin, not doughy, substantial amount of filling. Everything was flavorful and well balanced. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

Remote (between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay on Highway 1) but fantastic, and among the best savory pies in the Bay Area. I arrived mid-afternoon and selection was limited, but the pork verde was delicious and still warm). I'd go back if it were closer - for now I'll just remember how the warm pie in the cold coast kept me going. read more

Sage Bakehouse - One of the many savory pies; I suspect they're all amazing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montara, California

Pies. To me, pies are usually pretty good. I guess pies can be bad, but usually are pretty good. The pies at Sage Bakehouse, pretty darned good. Between the savory (Hungarian Chicken) and the sweet (Pumpkin), they were both well made and good. They didn't blow my socks off, but they were good and tasty. The coffees are well made. Their attention to detail, like the small pieces of ice rather than the large chunks, is really appreciated. The Americano was well made. Good view of the ocean, and the street. With limited parking and a small bathroom in the back, this spot is nice, relaxing, and with good treats and coffee to boot, excellent place to stop by next time you're in town. read more

Absolutely amazing savory pies are at Sage! The best part is the special of buying 5 get 1 free. They are easily rebaked when you buy the frozen one. The size and the filling of the pie is perfect. The savory pies are super convenient to prepare for a quick meal for one or two! The ambiance is soothing and satisfying with the perfect lighting, decor, sounds, and even wonderful smell from the bakery. The service is great, quick and easy. Everyone works here is happy and efficient. The place is clean and earthy. Must stop by for one pie or more. And don't forget to check out a the tasty apple pie! read more

Stopped by their food truck near Sawyer Camp Trail after following some signs that said "Hot Pie and Coffee" not knowing what to expect. The two ladies were so nice that they gave me and my friend free savory pies since they were closing, and both the Strawberry Crisp and Curry Butternut Squash Pie were delicious! Both were so filling that I didn't need to eat lunch afterwards. Will make sure to stop by their in store location next time I'm in the area! read more

A beloved and only coffee shop in the immediate area, the Sage Bakehouse offers a beautifully refreshing place for you to collect your thoughts, read, and take it slow at this beautiful beach town. The interior is rustic and cosy, and the servers are quick and reliable. They are known for their pie, which you can take to the beach or as fuel for a full day of hiking. Took a star off for their absolutely milky chai and matcha latte. Don't expect anything too high quality drinks wise, and you'll enjoy your time here ! read more

One of my favorite memories of my vacay in Australia was their delicious pies. Over the years, I've tried various pies but none stood up to what I experienced.....until now. The pies at Sage are amazing! The crust is thin and flaky which really allows the incredible flavors of the filling to shine. I tried four - Harissa Lamb, BBQ Pulled Chicken, Mole Chicken and Mixed Berry. Each pie packed so much flavor and the spices were spot on. I reheated one in the air fryer and it came out perfectly. I'm also not a fan of sweet pies since I find them to be cloyingly sweet but the Mixed Berry was perfect - just the right amount of sweetness with a luscious berry filling. I cannot wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. I live in Dublin but totally worth the trek to enjoy one of their pies. Perfect for take away while you go on a stroll along the coast! read more

I'm really sorry to say this is the 2nd time I tried these pies. The first time they were horrible. We tried several all extremely dry, the crust had absolutely no flavor, the fillings on all of them was also dry with no seasoning or flavor as well, just absolutely horrible. This was the closest place to where we were & needed breakfast I LOVE quiche & said to my daughter there's no way anyone can F up a quiche. I was way wrong. Dry , no flavor at all I mean the place is a specialty pie place & their crust is horrible! No flavor at all & dry. I eat out like twice a day & don't do reviews but man people got to know. Sorry read more

All the pot pies were good (had veggie, chicken and beef&cheddar), my fav was the beef and cheddar The spicy sausage roll was spicy, liked that Super nice guy (owner) who took our order and gave recommendations The blueberry muffin, coffee cake and chocolate chip cookie were tasty too Great cappuccino!

Dude goes to New Zealand, gets engaged, eats his way through NZ, comes home to Bay Area and decides he's going to do his own version of these famous savory hand pies...and boy howdy he's done it! These are the most buttery, flaky & delicious hearty pucks you'll find outside of a 16 hr flight down under I recon. They got all the classics...minced meat w/cheddar, beef & potato, Shepard's pie, curry lamb,...plus new (CA) classics like pork verde, BBQ pulled pork, Hungarian chicken paprikash...and veggie only options including mushroom, curry butternut squash. Nice tea selection too...and coffee. Equally as tasty is their ample outdoor patio overlooking Hwy 1 and the Pacific Ocean. read more
