This restaurant is the best! So many great choices that taste delicious. Fresh food served with a smile! This is my go to restaurant! I love to order and pick up after a hard day of work, too. When I bring my friends here they too are impressed! The steaks, the apps, the salads, omelettes, I could go on and on! I've never had a bad experience here. Do yourself a big favor and dine at Think Cafe. I'm a picky eater and I love everything here. Cheers to the chef, staff and owner for their years of quality service and food! read more

Think Cafe is a go-to for my family. Their menu is full of delicious options. They have a shaded outdoor patio for additional seating options. The food is excellent and chef prepared. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I highly recommend Think Cafe. read more

Think Cafe - The Shy Guy (lamb and steamed veggies with a balsamic glaze) - New American Near Me - San Pedro, California

The first time we went to this cafe, they forgot to put our order in and we waited over an hour until they noticed and checked on us. Other tables were served food without issue during this time. When they did bring the food out it was excellent. We decided to return. After being seated we got a drink order taken and delivered. The waiter got my husband's coffee order wrong (I'm not sure how you screw up "black coffee no creamer" but he did). We then got ignored for 30 minutes while everyone around us was served at which point I'd had enough. I approached the register and let them know we were leaving and why. read more

Have been searching around for decent delivery, most have disappointed, and this place definitely came through, at least on the first try. I ordered something simple, patty melt with onion rings. The cost was reasonable (and it was somewhat more expensive than much of the menu), it got here fast, I'm perhaps seven to eight or so miles away, and it arrived hot. The onion rings were perfect, delicious. The patty melt was very good, would definitely order again, but they put thousand island on it and in this case perhaps they put too much, thus four stars. That aside, it was more than enough food and made for an excellent lunch. The menu has got a bunch of interesting stuff, nothing that breaks the bank, and I'll definitely be checking it out more. Might even wander down some weekend for a bite of brunch and their Bloody Mary. This is a place to try if you're thinking about it. read more

The Food is constantly delicious! All the service staff is Amazing, kind an accommodating. We eat out often and this is our go to place. We have had more the one Family event her and have always been so pleased!! Thank you read more

Excellent Service, tasty food, easy parking. Good measures of wine. I can still order chicken piccata even though it's not listed on the menu. read more

The food was at all. It had no flavor and limited options on the menu. The drinks were ok but how can you really mess up a mimosa. The service was bad and we got all of our food out at a reasonable time. It's pretty nice inside. It has a nice little vibe to it. The prices were ridiculous and the food quality needs to be a little better. read more

So hard to write a bad review but I have to say this. One of my favorite places but lately Portions are so small and setvice was not what im used too Ordered salmon and egg. Looked like 2 eggs and couple small pieces of fish Hashbrowns were cold and hard. May nit go back read more

If you enjoy Breakfast and Brunch plus posh atmosphere without the posh price.... this is the spot. The hollandaise sauce was perfect. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer will have you craving for more. We had to go back the next day. Tons of vegetarian options. Love it. read more

Think Cafe - Buffalo Cauliflower. Delicious!! - New American Near Me - San Pedro, California

This cleverly named "Think Cafe" cafe caught my eye on the way to a well known coffee franchise. Stopped in for a caffeine pick me up. Ordered a Mocha with almond milk, a bit bitter, not sweet at all. I decided to sweeten & pour over Ice to stimulate an afternoon pick me up. Doctored it up to my personal taste. Perfect! Early Saturday afternoon, lots of open seating with my choice of indoor or outdoor patio. The cute covered patio is very appealing but due to the air temp I sat inside. Quick pleasant service. Extensive attractive menu. Vegan & vegetarian options. Good option for breakfast brunch lunch or dinner. Plenty of parking, a good place to duck into on a cold rainy day in want of something warm. read more

I walked up to the register and politely asked a woman if my online order was ready yet, and I also noticed a to go bag sitting on the counter behind her. She barely acknowledged me and said wait one second. She stood there for another 4 minutes inputting info into her POS system. I tried to ask someone passing by but they said to wait one second. She then turned to the person waiting behind me, who came a few minutes after me, and assisted them with closing out their bill first. I asked her why she couldn't just check behind her and when she did finally check it just so happened to be my order! All she had to do was hand it to me, it took 2 seconds!! I don't understand how customer service is so bad these days it is crazy. As someone who works in customer service these establishments need to do better!! I assist my customers with a smile and always go the extra mile. It's a shame that other people in service can't do that same. read more

Very enjoyable breakfast, with a big asterisk. We sat outside enjoying very pleasant weather on their shaded patio, which really transports you out of downtown San Pedro. Very relaxing. The menu has some nice vegetarian options beyond the norms, I enjoyed the Greek Omelette with plenty of feta and sun dried tomatoes. My wife had the Huevos Rancheros with black beans. Both were enjoyed. Other breakfast options included a veggie frittata which sounded good. Coffee was very drinkable. Lunch options for vegetarians included eggplant parmesan and grilled veggie sandwiches and multiple good salad options. The asterisk...service was *not* good, to be charitable. It was really to the point that it interfered with our ability to enjoy the meal. (I was debating 3 or 4 stars, but there is enough promise I would like to come back.) The place was 3/4 empty, and staff appeared adequate, but for some reason they almost never ventured to the patio. When a foray to the patio was made, typically to take an order or leave a check, not once did they scan to see if other tables needed/wanted anything. For anything after the initial order was taken we had to verbally stop the server from dashing past and ask for coffee refills, the check, the check to be processed, etc. Not very comfortable. read more

Tried this place for the first time for breakfast and was impressed but not wowed. The location is very nice and the outdoor patio is a great place to sit on a warm day. The service was outstanding and the prices were very reasonable. But I thought the coffee was just okay - not bad but definitely not great. The food was as you'd expect with some decent variety but nothing worth returning for, A good place for a meal but not worth a special trip. read more

Great food! Atmosphere is very nice especially on the patio. And the service is excellent!

I have been there many times over the years and never disappointed. Service is great and the menu is varied and delicious.

Very delicious, great service, and fantastic vibes. I would recommend anything on the menu. Our server was very attentive, kind, and quick! Great spot for your after cruise needs but also for the locals! read more

Were brought here by some friends (yes, we have a few friends!). Sort of an eclectic menu. A lot of American-style dishes, plus some southwest or Mexican food, and some pasta dishes. I settled on the carne asada burrito. Being from Arizona, this was almost a dare (the waitress all but dared me when she found out where we were from). Very confident in her menu! The burrito was pretty large. Good value. Flavor was good. Not the best I've had, but a solid performance. I would rate 3.5 stars for that, but am going with 4 stars because service was cheerful, and appropriately attentive. Also, others in our party really seemed to like their food too. I could see returning to this place if we are back in San Pedro. read more

Think café has now become my favorite place to have breakfast lunch and dinner I love taking my friends and family there. Their food is delicious. I've never had anything there I haven't liked. I recommend it to everyone. They have great customer service and are always happy to see you come in. I never feel rushed in the atmosphere and ambience is very desirable. I love it! read more

This place is very good they have a pretty big menu and lots of options to choose from. Instead of nothing sounding good I had a hard time choosing which of the items I wanted most. I've been here several times actually and each time I've loved what I ordered. Except one time in the morning I ordered the steak and eggs, the steak was supposed to be medium rare but it was definitely well done. It was busy and I didn't want to complain so I just ate it anyways but I'm sure if I would've said something they would have remade it for me. They're always sweet and attentive on the front end. The vibes are very cozy and the patio has a good atmosphere. Definitely recommend read more

Really cute patio space at night with the stringed lights. Overpriced menu for okay food. You're definitely paying for the ambiance and space. Go for apps in the evening with friends to get the experience though! read more

San Pedro has a lot of little hidden gems such as Think Cafe. Right upon walking in for the first time, I felt that this is locals-only "hot spot" as customers were chit chatting with the staff as old friends. Although I can't fully recall everything during my first visit, except that the food and service were great. I want to take this time to highlight my most recent visit on Tuesday. My 5 other colleagues and I were quickly seated since we had a 12pm reservation. I believe the same waitress from my previous visit took our order. She went over the specials and really took good care of us. I had pineapple juice and the white fish in special sauce from the day's special completed with the chocolate hot lava cake. Pineapple juice was good, not overly sweet. The small size is pretty small, but I wanted to save room so it was fine. The special sauce consisted of chopped up tomatoes, corn bits, and diced up bell peppers swirled in a tangy sauce with a hint of spice went well with the brown rice. The fish seemed to have been broiled and light, yet tasty when mixed in with everything. I felt really healthy with no guilt eating the main course. The chocolate hot lava cake melted in my mouth. The hot chocolate "lava" was delicious! I could drink it alone if it were an option! The cake was moist, not too sweet, but definitely flavorful. I ate that up with no problem! My key to not feeling yucky after a great meal here was the fact that I didn't eat any complimentary bread. In the past I had a piece or two, the bread's pretty standard. I rather make room in my stomach for the better stuff. read more

I never trust a restaurant that is called "Think" but this place was not my choice. And I did not know that this was the name (Think Cafe) until we left so my disappointment with this place was not caused by the power of suggestion. Actually, there are many good things about this place. The ambiance is nice and cozy like a cafe. The service was good. The appetizer and dessert we ordered were both good (Avocado and Brie Melt & the Chocolate Lava Cake, respectively). My only complaint and a big one is my entree. I ordered this gyro dish called "Shy Guy". And, yes, it should be shy because it's simply no good. It's seasoning is neither here nor there . . . I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe it. I just didn't like it. read more

A nice sit-down place for lunch, and close to my work. I come here with co-workers about once per month. Service has always been good, and the food consistent. On this visit I opted for the gyro sandwich ($8.95). You get a large gyro sammie made with grilled lamb gyro slices, red onions, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and tzaziki sauce on a warm pita. It comes with your choice of fries, fresh fruit, or their pea salad (fresh peas with onion and bacon in a creamy dressing). I got the fresh fruit - pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberries. The sandwich was great as was the fruit. They also give you warm french bread with butter for the table - yes please! Other standout dishes I get here: french onion soup - really rich and satisfying, southern fried chicken pasta - crispy fried battered chicken breast pieces, corn and sun dried tomatoes mixed with creamy garlic pasta. They also have a large back room for larger parties/special events. I've been to two baby showers here and they were lovely. Overall this is a nice lunch place with consistent good food and service. read more

Great ambiance and great food! Sometimes the service is a little slow but I just go in with that expectation. Sometimes there is a man playing the piano in the small room by the entrance. Highly recommend! read more

Think Cafe is one of my usual stops in San Pedro...mostly because my friend really likes the steak sandwich here, as well as the basket of bread that they immediately bring out when you're seated. Now that we're regulars, I rather enjoy that the waiters know our orders and are friendly with us. I originally wrote a review for Think Cafe in 2011. I *think* (haha, pun intended) that someone actually read my review; I had complained that the ketchup tasted off every single time I was there, and then one day, MAGIC! The ketchup was normal. Was I onto you, Think? Were you refilling Heinz bottles with some off-brand yuckiness? Hmmmm. ;) In any case, it's much better now. I used to be a huge fan of the Croque Monsieur. And I hate to say it, but I have stopped eating it because one time I thought the ham tasted off, and when I asked the waiter, he confirmed that sometimes the ham isn't fresh! BLEH! Seriously, that made my stomach turn. But, I'm a bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to food, and I didn't get sick. So don't let that detour you from giving it a try. The fried chicken pasta is yummy, and I'm a huge fan of the turkey burger with cheese and bacon. When I'm feeling REALLY daring, I'll ask what the special of the day is! *laughs* The homemade soups are pretty good. My friend is a HUGE fan of the carrot soup (and she doesn't even like carrots). But, they don't always serve it...might be seasonal or something. I'll be honest, though. This place is a little pricey for the quality of the food. I haven't tried the other Think restaurants, Think Bistro and Think Prime, but I compare this chain of restaurants to Banana Republic, Gap. and Old Navy. So really Think Cafe should be the Old Navy here and cheapen it up a bit (in my opinion). But they are pretty cool about letting you order off the brunch menu instead of the dinner menu. A lot of the items are the same. This place has a patio (with heaters), and that always makes me happy. This particular patio has a "peely tree," which is thus called for its drug-addicting qualities of "MUST PICK NOW" when I'm sitting outside. (I'm OCD.) read more

Good food and great prices. I had the Benedict and was very pleased. My family ordered various breakfast items and everyone cleaned their plate. The place is spacious and has a good sized patio. Definitely going back. read more

Wonderful menu with great food and the service is excellent. I highly recommend Think Cafe.

The best pork chop I have ever had! This has been an ongoing pursue of mine along with the ultimate chicken fried steak:). Sonny's is hands down the best. Can you turn down a double cut chop perfectly crisp on the outside and moist and tender on the inside? Then, he puts a generous crispy, salty, mapley strip of pork belly on top:) Mmmmm. It was 45 minutes of heaven and God wouldn't let me in without the pork chop!:). It's a "have to" if you like a chop. read more

Think Cafe - OMG! - New American Near Me - San Pedro, California

Good eats. I enjoy their breakfast menu and they are open late so nice for late meals.

We found this place after staying in San Pedro for more than three days. First, we went on a Sunday for brunch. What a kick! I loved my brunch the first time we came here. I had a salmon sandwich with pea salad and Hubby had tuna with two types of soups. They offer a trio, so instead of the regular soup and sandwich, like most restaurants do, he could choose a third one either salad or another soup and he did the soup. So, Hubby had french onion soup, seafood chowder and tuna sandwich on a baguette. My sandwich came on a baguette too and I love baguette! Our waitress is a nice lady named Kashka (spelling?). Anyway, since we loved it the first time we planned for the second time. The second time we went for breakfast right after they opened at 8 AM. I ordered my favorite avocado toast with sunnyside up and pea salad and Hubby had his bagel and lox. I loved my avocado toast, the avocado was fresh and nicely cut for my toast. We also ordered an extra bagel to make another bagel and lox because we thought the lox they gave us was quite a lot. We had the same waitress Kashka. Then we came back on the same day for lunch and I had a chicken brie sandwich with pea salad and Hubby had a tuna sandwich, salad, and french onion soup. Wow, we really loved this place. We thought they offer good quality food and very affordable. How did we not find this place earlier? Actually I saw this place on Yelp before coming here but due to the opening at 8 AM, we thought it was quite late for us. We up early! However, this is worth a visit or visits! Kashka was pleasant and we had great service. Thanks! read more

This has been one of my "go to" local restaurants for several years ... (I grew up in San Pedro but, I digress) The food is generally good with a variety of choices ... the clam chowder is one of my favorites ... and ... the service in the past has been friendly Last night was an exception. Our experience with our waitress, "Kazka," I think, (she has purple hair) was poor. I ordered the clam chowder, "very hot" ... it appeared she was writing it down ... then ... she asked for my entree ... then ... she asked, "Do you want soup or salad?" Really? I said, "I just ordered clam chowder very hot" She snapped, "Well, we discussed many things" and frowned. When the soup was served it was lukewarm ... I asked that it be heated again. She did not return to our table to ask if everything was OK or whether there was anything else we would like. She did return with our bill. No smile. No "thank you" ... just the frown ... When I go to a restaurant I don't expect to be treated like "chopped liver." I'll eat here again ... but ... this waitress won't serve me. And "the tip" is a reflection of the service I receive. read more

We ordered delivery through Uber eats...practically no cheese on the Philly cheesesteak and my partner is still having stomach pain from the chicken sandwich she ate earlier. Do not recommend, and will not be eating here again at any point in time. read more

Was looking for a place to hold a group dinner for 20 in San Pedro in a few weeks, so came across Think Cafe. Saw that they have outdoor patio dining, another plus. My sister came with me to check it out, and we ordered several items for lunch: avocado & brie melts; tater tots (w the chowder); chinese chicken salad, and a BLT sandwich with the pea salad. Service was attentive and fast. And then the food came out. I thought we'd end up taking some home for leftovers, but everything was so tasty that we finished it all! I like that they use green leafy romaine for their salad and as the lettuce in the sandwich instead of iceberg lettuce. The proportion of Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato were just right. I don't like too much bacon because then the sandwich is salty, and too much lettuce or tomato makes the sandwich seem unsubstantial, but theirs was just right. The pea salad was surprisingly tasty as well. And the dressing on the salad was not too sweet nor too heavy on the oil. I look forward to coming back, not just for my group dinner, but as a regular customer. read more

They say "gluten free" but they really don't provide gluten-free options to bread, etc. They leave it up to you to make gluten-free choices from the menu. Service could be better.
