Prime Rib Dip
Junior N.

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.

Eggs Benedict with hash brown
Jennifer M.

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

Wings and Steak Sandwich

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

Kathy K.

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!

Menu

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.

There is also a nice outdoor patio with additional seating. Service was excellent from checking in at the reception desk, definitely make reservations, through our food/beverage service. Our server was friendly and very helpful! He was very attentive and made sure our water glasses stayed filled! We were a party of six and everyone enjoyed their meals. Most of us left with to go containers, their portions are very generous! Two in our party had the Swordfish Milanese, excellent; two had sandwiches, Blackened Chicken and Italian Mortadella, excellent; and I had the Blue Cheese Iceberg Salad with a bowl of Jim's Clam Chowder, both were excellent! Parking was easy. They have a large lot onsite. We went at lunch time and it was crowded, yet still open parking spots! I have heard great things about Trani's and it really lived up to its reputation.

We sat outside since we had a rowdy toddler and didn't want to ruin the dinner vibes inside. They had heat lamps and we were plenty comfortable. Service was quick and kind. We ordered fish and chips and Mushroom Mezzi Rigatoni and loved both but the rigatoni was absolutely delightful. The noodles were cooked perfectly, the brown butter was amazing, we could eat this daily and we will be back for it! This is a great date night spot and a must see if you live around PV!

Easily obsessed with this place now. We've only gone once, but we love it…read more We were heading back to LA from doing something in Long Beach, and wanted to stop and have a drink somewhere quick. This place popped up, and it was happy hour. So we thought why not. We got lucky and found parking close (rare for that street). And walked over and immediately loved the vibe. We walked in and were greeted immediately, and then brought upstairs. The decor on the way up was awesome. The old school nature, with paintings and abstract vintage pieces.. love. It felt like we were in an old industrial building. We were surprised that it was pretty empty when we got up there. We sat at the bar, and love the decor upstairs too. There's a view of the street from up there as well that's beautiful. The bartender greeted us fairly quickly, and we each ordered a speciality cocktail on their happy hour. Both were delicious. I will say that the prices are a bit steep for me. Very glad we came during the happy hour. But really want to return to try the food and more drinks. Maybe on a special date night out!

One of the women (I missed her name but I believe her birthday is today) working there helped me find seating for my party. She was gracious enough even with there being little to no wiggle room- so shout out to her. Our servers were great, appetizers came out hot and delicious. I think we ordered 4 rounds of Brussels sprouts Drinks were tasty- highly recommend the espresso martini with a side of vanilla ice cream. Overall had a great time and appreciate the customer service!

No need to worry about parking either, as there is a large (free) parking garage adjacent to the PV promenade it is located in. Located on the second level of the promenade, we came for a graduation celebration and were blown away by the food. Got the: 1. Pao de queijo: 10/10 addictive baked 3 cheese Brazilian popovers served with lime aioli sauce (which it didn't need, because it got us hooked the way Cheeze its gets us - once you start, you can't stop!) 2. Fried Calamari: 7.5/10, also served with lime aioli sauce and house made marinara sauce. Good but not spectacular and not something I would repeatedly pay $18 for. The only dish we would not get again. 3. Modena Salad: 9/10, what a delicious salad with butter lettuce, candied walnuts, crumbled goat cheese, shallots, Italian parsley, and balsamic vinaigrette. My only complaint is that the lettuce was not bite sized, but for $17 this was a scrumptious salad 4. seafood pan roast: 12.5/10, TO DIE FOR! snow crab, shrimp, and it's sweeter larger cousin, prawns, in jasmine rice with a delicious house garlic focaccia. $30 but totally worth every penny and every inch of stomach real estate. 5. Crème brûlée: 8/10, it was good but compared to the seafood pan roast, it was nothing spectacular (however, the seafood pan roast is a really high bar) TLDR: delicious food in a date worthy and business meal worthy restaurant. Be sure to order the seafood pan roast to show off what a foodie you are

To start off, the portion sizes are HUGE. We got the branzino which was literally enough for all 4 of us and we even had some leftover. The bibimbap was also huge and came in a sizzling pan so the rice got nice and crispy! Lastly, even the kids pizza was huge and honestly so good-it tasted like it came from a wood fired oven rather than just an industrial oven. There's plenty of seating here as well and it's nice that outside there's a cute little play area for the kids. Definitely a nice place to come with family :)

The food was great! No complaints there. The service however, was absurd! Actually, non-existent…read more The table next to us literally had to go to the bar and retrieve their own drinks. No one checked on us, it took way too long to get served and when we finally did, it was with an attitude. Our appetizer order was also forgotten. The restaurant had only 2 tables of guests, including us. Shocking for a Saturday night. So the excuse of being busy isn't going to fly here. We will not be back. Although I enjoyed the food, being ignored and treated like crap doesn't make it worth it. If you want decent food, excellent service by the sea, I'd recommend going to Redondo Beach or Hermosa Beach. ANYWHERE but here!

Let's not get political (please) - it's Yelp after all…read more I chose here this year for my husband's annual birthday brunch! He loves a decadent brunch. Who doesn't? And after a number of years patroning the Four Season's Beverly Hills brunch on Doheny I wanted to try something new. There's not many decadent, birthday worthy brunch options in our post Covid world. So when I found this one, read the menu and saw the price point I was ALL in. And my goodness it blew last year at the four seasons away by a lot!!! (They dipped significantly after Covid - not the same value). The Trump had EVERYTHING you could want in a brunch. Sushi, free flowing champagne, prime rib, crepes, crab, waffles, eggs Benedict, pancakes, chocolate dipped fruit, breads, bagels, cheeses, salad, Korean short ribs, shrimp, shrimp scampi, pasta, omelettes, oysters, fruit & figs, and sausage & bacob. I know for a fact I am missing offerings. It was world class, A+ with live music and wonderful service. The views of the pacific were gorgeous on our blustery day. My goodness it was so pretty. We were not rushed at all. It wasn't cramped or crowded. I loved it! And I'd definitely make this a recurring birthday treat for him. It was absolutely worth it.
