Cafe Pacifica — Restaurant in Pacifica

Yes, I'm a fan of Cafe Pacifica. :-)

This little cafe in Pacifica really looks like it has been built to be on the beach instead of two blocks away from it. Maybe they have a longterm strategy and hope that the beach once reaches Palmetto Avenue ...

Service at this place really varies from who is there, but they're all friendly (but sometimes confused). The menu offers a variety of choices. So far all the food we had there was very good. Pancakes are cooked well, omelets have rich filling and the bagel sandwiches make a good meal.

Coffee is decent and the Watermelon juice is very watermelony (that's why I ordered it).

If I would have known the food was to go I would have not ordered.

They told us it was okay to sit out on the patio, it was extremely windy.

I refunded that as well.

Honestly, the food might be great. I don't know because I didn't even take a bite. However the customer experience...

Cafe Pacifica is basically the only breakfast option on the block and I found the staff acted like it. They condescended me when I asked if they had any gluten free bread option. The food is very basic, nothing creative or particularly tasty. I really wanted it to be better than it was because it is fun to go down to the pier in the morning and make an activity out of diving to Palmetto. But it was not good enough to try again and because there aren't really a lot of other options I don't think I'll find myself exploring Palmetto much more. I did run next door and get a gluten free donut and muffin at saltwater bakery though and that saved my...
