It was an overall good experience. They ran out of garlic for our fries orders, although they did compensate with a free mimosa. It was self serve, and family friendly. Our food came a little late but was very good! Everyone was super friendly! Definitely recommend the pineapple mojito!!!

I went with my dad while staying in Half Moon Bay, we grabbed breakfast and coffee before heading to San Francisco. I got a classic combo with scrambled eggs, sausage, toast and potatoes. My dad got a latte which he said was good (but coming from him is high praise as he’s a coffee snob) It was delicious and a generous portion, we also got a blueberry muffin to share that was warm and moist. Lovely vibes and the friendliest staff imaginable. Perfect little gem to visit if you’re in the area. (Also serves breakfast and lunch at the same time, so no matter what you are in the mood for, they have you covered)

Didn’t get a chance to snap a picture of the huevos rancheros, but they were incredible. So cool to see the planes land while we eat. Dog friendly- and friendly customer service. 10/10!

Such a great find! Thanks Google!
A small off the beaten path coastal stop for me excellent food and service. It is next to a small airport. They have plant based options. The flavor was amazing. Huge portions. We even took home a souvenir mug that came with a free drink. Definitely will be back.

A must stop! If the weather is nice the patio facing the airstrip is a lovely place to enjoy your meal.
The food is amazing, it was hard to choose what to have. We found buying several things and sharing them was a great way to go. Really hearty portions and very flavorful too.
Coffee station is well equipped.
Super cozy place, go check it out!

amazing place, I was hiking and saw this cafe on the map and walked 7.5 miles to it, I never regretted it. The food is delicious, the guys at the checkout are charming, the cafe is cozy and there is a kind and warm atmosphere, the energy is magical. It is very surprising to come across such a place along the highway

It was recommended by the pilot friend. Excellent food, amazing service, dog friendly. You can sit inside or outside. Watch the planes. Coffee was good too. The restrooms were clean. The dog got a treat too. Will come back just need to remember they close early.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere.
I went here on a nice sunny weekend, and was surprised to see it not packed. There was some nice seating outside where you can watch the planes come and go. The food was delicious, we had the classic combo and the North Africak shakshuka, both were really flavorful and good servings. We paired them with mimosas.

Great service – gentleman up front was very friendly while we placed our order and was able to accommodate my annoying substitutions/requests. Took about 10 min to get our food, and it tasted great. Ordered eggs with a side of fruit and salad, and a fried chicken sandwich, which came out to $40 total. We sat at the window and got to watch the planes land and take off. Decor isn’t the same as the three zero cafe that was here before, but is a nice vibe inside. Has a large menu with good prices for the area.

Definitely among the top 3 breakfasts in the Bay Area
The best breakfast on the coast imo. And I am super picky and a native of the coast for a while here!
We went here the first time today, wanting to try it now that it has reopened. Loved the food, ambiance, and great value.
Ingredients were fresh and high quality, menu was particular and discerning, and the place overall is very comforting.
Being of Indian heritage, I loved the steel tumblers for water, the copper planters – nostalgic yet tasteful decor.
Outdoor, bar, and table seating. A comfy mini sofa where one can relax.
Counter ordering, open kitchen.
The manager/owner at the front was so kind, taking care of us with professionalism and humility.
Fantastic – we have a new breakfast / brunch favorite!
