"With cozy seating and a humble atmosphere, I expected a lot from this local place. Unfortunately, my whole family seemed to agree that it was a “mid” breakfast. Everything tasted and was presented cheap, but the price was anything but. They also had the restroom blocked off during our visit, which was understandable, but still an inconvenience. Overall, it seemed like a special place, but it wasn’t. 3/5."

"This is a quick diner eating experience. Even though the name gives you the illusion that they will have good coffee, they don’t. We got two different lattes and they tasted like drip coffee with milk in, not true lattes. They have a lot of different flavored drip coffees and weekly schedule so they take that very seriously. I got the veggie omelette which was ok. The veggies were fresh and well made but overall the food is bland. My husband got the eggs Benedict and it was way too much sauce and the sauce was not good at all. We also got the “double chocolate cheesecake” which was not even cheesecake, just a very big piece of dense chocolate cake. Overall would not come back."

"It’s an okay spot. Good if you just need something decent to eat. The portions are big but not as flavorful as it looks. Staff is nice but food to a while to come out. Wouldn’t really come back unless I’m driving through and need “quick” decent food."

"Half Moon Bay Coffee Co. is such a nice little stop when you’re by the coast! The atmosphere is warm and relaxed — the kind of place where you can sit with your coffee, enjoy the ocean air, and unwind for a bit. It’s casual, comfortable, and has that small-town charm that fits perfectly with Half Moon Bay. The coffee is solid — smooth, rich, and always hot. Their pastries and breakfast items are tasty too, especially if you want something quick before exploring the area. Service is friendly and easygoing, even when it’s busy on weekends. It’s not super fancy or upscale, but that’s part of what makes it great — it feels local and genuine. A perfect stop for a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon coffee break while enjoying the beach town vibe."

"The food here is awesome!! We came for our first time and we love it, will definitely be back. All the avocado toasts look amazing, and the hollandaise one was great. It was so much food though, one whole avocado toast was honestly too much for me! Well worth the price. We didn’t get a coffee today, but when we do I will update. We will definitely be back soon as we are in half moon bay every other weekend! If you’re looking for a cute place though, this isn’t super aesthetic, but the food is great and the mini pies look so good."
