    Think Cafe has a delicious plate for every craving. The friendly service, the upper level cafe decor and the delicious food make this place a great date night or a casual lunch spot. The menu has terrific breakfast plates, light lunch and full meal dinner options that are sure to please all. There's plenty of lot parking and street parking.

    My friend held her baby shower here and what an amazing experience. It was a cute, private space to the side of the restaurant, parking was free in their lot. Their food was absolutely delicious, I opted for their salmon dish and the service was phenomenal.

    Chicken piccata. Wow, amazing.
    Michael K.

    I have always enjoyed going to think café, but tonight I had their Chicken Piccata and it was superb. I felt like I was transported back to Italy. Service is always excellent. Very friendly and checking in to make sure everything is going well. I really like their covered outdoor patio. The menu has many options so you can always find what you're in the mood for and they seem to do everything really well.

    Pasta dinner SO tasty
    Judy a.

    First time here. My husband loved his pasta dinner. I wanted the tuna tower. They had to take it back. It wasn't what I wanted. I wanted it to be a tower. There was no tower. It still tasted OK. It was nothing to write home about but they made up for with my husband Dinner.. bread was really good. Will be back to give them another chance.

    The food was good and service was ok , the waitress was rushing to take our order but she was still nice , The only thing I didn't like was we found a roach walking inside the establishment and already I wanted to leave but we had already got our food lol we did tell the waiter and he got it and they gave us a free churro waffle which was good . My mom got a Bloody Mary and she said it was pretty watered down but the food was pretty good. Not sure if I would go back again but there is plenty of parking and dining apace.

    My husband and I were taking a cruise out of San Pedro and wanted to grab a little snack before boarding the ship. We found this place on yelp, and I'm glad we stopped in. We shared the "Choice of Two $10" and ordered half of a tuna sandwich and a bowl of Clam Chowder. Both items were delicious, and the service was excellent. We want to try breakfast and other items here. We will be back soon!

    Fresh Ahi Tuna Tower appetizer. Delicious and generous
    Carolyn P.

    This is an attractive casual restaurant with a great menu. Barbara was our server, her service was friendly, prompt & on point. The meal begins with French bread with a unique & scrumptious dipping sauce. We had their fresh tuna tower. The presentation was attractive and this starter is delicious and generous. My friend had their crisp Caesar Salad which she enjoyed. I had the French Onion Soup. It was good but not exceptional. The menu is varied & interesting. If you're looking for a tasty meal and good service in San Pedro, check out the Think Cafe.

    Steak Benedict was on point
    Tim P.

    The food, drinks, service and ambiance were perfect and I definitely recommend this spot! The only thing they missed on was the outdoor section being closed when we went--but we already know we are definitely going back so hopefully next time we will get to try the out doors area. Our server was super on point and even caught some things I didn't realize and she gave us some pro-tips. The food was absolutely amazing and we really enjoyed our meal. Good to have this spot in the book of good restaurants to visit. We are going to be heading to san pedro more so they will see us again! Thanks

    Always love the prices and the service. Food is consistent! My family go to place for a quiet dinner.

    A true gem in the neighborhood! I ordered the macadamia nut salad, which was generously loaded with tender chicken, warm goat cheese, creamy avocados, and sweet strawberries, all perfectly dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette. Every bite was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the bar seating provided a relaxed, comfortable vibe. Plus, parking was convenient with an available lot. Definitely a spot worth visiting again! Bon appetite!

    We don't come to San Pedro much except to stop by the Cruise Port, so when there was an opportunity to have brunch nearby the port while my brother and I were transferring cruise ships on our back2back Royal Caribbean cruises, my wife and her neighbor/friend drove out and joined us to make a party of 4. Think Cafe is close by the port, and is open from 9 am to 9 pm everyday. It's a big menu, with food choices from all parts of the day. Our group found the service to be good, and the food to be edible to good. The Think brand has three restaurants in San Pedro, with the middle child Cafe being opened in 1997. It has fairly broad menu, with it longevity meaning menu items have been probably constantly rotated per customer's demands. There is free angled street parking right in front, with spots available even though the inside of the restaurant was fairly busy. We were seated immediately and given water and menus by the busboy. My choice was something I'll almost always order if I see it on the menu: Loco Moco ($15). Unfortunately, this version wasn't great...starting with the rice which tasted like instant and the very plain brown gravy. However, the eggs were excellently prepared as over easy, giving me the yellow yolk run that I like over the "white" rice. And the hamburger patty was good, not too dense or greasy, with a decent amount of heft to make it clear it was real meat. Nobody else at the table complained or overly praised the meal...it was diner food level and met expectations. [Country Chicken and Eggs for $20, and two croque madames ($15 each)]. I did get a chance to take a bite out of the croque, and I really liked the bread (though my brother wished it had been toasted a lot more)...the amount of filling was OK. All came with potato, and everyone ordered hash browns (crispy on the edges), which seemed to be enjoyed. And like my dish, the egg in each dish seemed to be the highlight. Service was friendly and easy natured, with the busyness causing some little delays, that a friendly prompt fixed. With the broadness of the menu, it's easy to understand why some of the items underwhelmed a bit...I'm sure items will keep changing as times (and customer's tastes) keeps evolving.

    1/2 BLT along with a cup of clam chowder and oyster crackers
    Kenneth B. T.

    I always like to check on consistency of the taste, amount of food portions and customer service among other things. I placed one of my go to orders via Ubereats- 2 Item Combo (1/2 BLT and a cup of clam chowder) and a small caesar salad with extra dressing- all for $15.00 (excluding taxes)- of course I requested in the comments section for some complimentary (served for dine-in) sourdough bread and extra butter. Immediately after placing the order- I called and talked to Ingrid about my order- basically before I could talk- she said- don't worry- I/we have the bread covered. Remember to order clam chowder whenever you dine-in/deliver- it's very good- along with the complimentary table side bread. I know the restaurant ambiance is very good in my dine-in experiences of the past.

    Macadamian Nut and Goat Cheese Salad Lunch
    Mary T.

    It's a small local restaurant and it's clean! The food here is amazing!! The waitstaff is nice and attentive. I ordered the coque monsieur sandwich, salad and soup. Everything was delicious Unfortunately, after placing my order I realized that I had a meeting to go to and once I told the waitstaff about my dilemma, she right away made my order to go! She noticed my rush and was able to get my order packed and charged me in a jiffy! I made it to my meeting just in time. After the meeting I enjoyed my delicious lunch! I want to thank the waitstaff for helping me out with my order so that I would be able to get to my meeting on time! Also the Macadamian Nut and Goat Cheese Salad Lunch is a must try!! It's soooo good!!

    Is there any free parking space on think cafe, when I arrive there?

    You can park right in front. I can't remember if they're Meter or not. There is also parking on the side of the building, Inside the parking lot.

It's a classic diner type restaurant that serves good quality food at a reasonable price. It took me a minute to select an omelette since there were so many options on the menu. But I ultimately settled on the avocado, bacon, and cheese omelette. It came with home fried potatoes. The omelette, on its own, was pretty good. It was hearty and filling. However, when paired with their slightly spicy salsa (which doesn't come with the dish, but you can ask for), it was fantastic. Seriously, ask for the salsa. You'll thank me later. Can't say much about the home fried potatoes. The potatoes were good, but nothing special. The same can be said about the service. I don't have anything good or bad to say about it. The server did everything you would expect from a server, nothing more, nothing less. One note about this establishment before I conclude this review. They prefer cash. If you pay with a card, they will charge you an extra $1.50.

I've tried many of the other restaurants in the area and for some reason had missed this one because I don't live close by. This past weekend I gave it a try and thought it was terrific. There is a free parking lot attached on the side of the building so parking is very easy and inside is pretty large with booth seating as well as regular table seating. They also have outdoor seating as well, but it was a bit windy on the day we stopped in. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. They also had a very large amount of limited time specials so I had to take them up on one of those options. We started off with the coffee cake and I thought it was pretty good although it was gigantic. I'm a bit more of a fan of the gooier coffee cake and this was a bit cake ear but still it was enjoyable. I also tried the spicy turkey chili and thought that was a 10 out of 10. I absolutely loved the amount of spice and it had some really great flavors. For my breakfast, I chose one of the specials, which was the Carne Asada Chilaquiles and thought it was terrific. It was a ton of meat and it was honestly more than I could finish, but I really enjoyed trying to. I would definitely recommend and would stop again next time I'm in the area.

So this may have been my first (and last) breakfast here. My friend got the breakfast quesadilla, which was oozing with cheese--seemingly low-quality cheese, that gooey-looking kind. A little paltry for the price of $18. Why no beans on the side? I was considering the lobster omelette for a whopping $25 and the waiter raved about it and I let myself be persuaded. It was terrible! Drenched in a creepily orange supposed hollandaise (as we know, see photo, Hollandaise sauce is not meant to be orange), which looked like it was poured from a can. Thin and no lemon. Just some cheap flavoring. The waiter insisted that they had "made it this morning," so maybe they made it from a powder from a packet? I was starving so joylessly I ate nearly half of it and then subsisted on eating most of a generous serving of hash browns. Perhaps I was too timid. When the waiter did not offer any compensation, or to get me another plate of something else, I just dutifully sucked it up. Then he asked if we wanted coffee cake -- which should have been on the house, since he clearly realized I was not happy with the lousy omelette. If I'd not been with a person I was only meeting for the first time, I'd have been more plaintive, but I did not want to embarrass them -- they live in the area, and I do not. But just YUCK. When another friend joined us to sit and chat after our plates had been taken away he told us how he'd given up on this joint. I suggest something be done about the food quality and value.
