Chit-Chat Cafe Pacifica Reviews
100% recommend if you’re trying to get some good people watching, the locals love this spot and I really enjoyed the live sea shanties. Good food, free WiFi, good view!
Alicia was amazing!! My friend is in another state and he was having the roughest day on his birthday and she completely went above and beyond to help him out. He was so surprised and we need more people like her to be more human in this world! Thank you so much when I get back to the states I will def be stopping by to say hi to her and give her a huge tip! Xoxo Honey the coffee and muffin were perfect!!
Rain or shine this cafe is a cozy spot to enjoy a coffee + a bite.
The music is local talent, and you would be surprised how much talent there is in the Bay Area! Don't miss the groups you haven't heard of... they may be well known some day. Some of the music is spectacular!
I love Chit Chat cafe! Their trip tip sandwiches on the weekends are the bomb!! Delicious Staff is always great.
Super nice staff and customers. Good coffee, incredible view of the ocean.
Great Sunday brunch option overlooking the ocean. Walking distance from RV park. Locally owned. Food was fresh. Chai tea was great. I wanted crispy bacon on the side with my egg and cheese bagel...no problem. Everything hit the spot. Live guitarist playing...was pleasantly surprised, though it my understanding, it's not a regular thing.
Cool cafe, run by the best people. A must if you’re in Pacifica! Love the coffee and the food. Run, don’t walk!
Live music, great service, good coffee and bagel sandwich, true artist vibe, ocean view
The perfect local coffee shop. Cozy, comfortable, delicious and well crafted drinks and snacks, live music, and right next to the ocean. What's not to love? There are always people just hanging out, working, reading, drawing, enjoying a slow moment. Love this cafe - beats chain places any day of the week.
Such a neat little cafe - had a great everything bagel with cream cheese and a chai latte. Was fun to listen to the locals and see all the plants and neat vintage items in the cafe.
I 100% recommend this chill and laid back cafe. What a true gem. Just like Pacifica itself this place has preserved its 70/80s charm and chill. Amazing oasis. And the best of it: you can bring your pups!!! Hallelujah 🤩😍♥️ I personally vote this place Best Local Coffeeshop in the US ⭐️⭐️⭐️
You can get food, you can get views, you can get coffee and tea and probably some musical company. It’s a lovely spot doing its own thing
I liked the chit chat happening in the cafe! The cafe is super chill. People came here to work, read etc. Strangers talked to the owner and each other. They said sometimes you can see whales just from the shore, and the cafe has a huge window facing the ocean. It was foggy when I was there, but I still really enjoyed the atmosphere! Plus, parking was easy. A nice place to relax.
Funky comfortable oceanfront coffee shop and cafe. Good coffee and food, and great music from 2 talented fellas at 10 am Sunday morning. We knew almost all the words to the songs and sang along.
New Chit-Chat Cafe owners , Branden and Ginger have are doing right by the place. Great coffee. Excellent variety of food. Beautiful view! Weekend music on Saturday and Sunday. And an improvement in the business hours being open until 5 pm everyday. They also made it easier to pay with a new point of sale system that easily recognized my payment via my phone. Looking forward to more great times at Chit-Chat Cafe on Manor.
Oceanview cafe with hot coffee, espresso drinks, bagels, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. Live music on weekends and weekdays, featuring classic guitar and sax tunes. Friendly staff and high-quality coffee drinks. Sublime ocean views and comfortable seating. Every Sunday is “Mimosa Sunday”! Chit-Chat Cafe offers a cozy, quirky, and local experience by the beach. Whether you’re sipping coffee while watching the waves or enjoying live music, this cafe has something special to offer. Don’t miss their fresh bagels and locally famous clam chowder! 🌊🎶☕
One of the best Cafe's on the NorCal Coast in my opinion. Please continue to be an amazing and unique business! Thank you, sincerely, for the live music and upkeep of your establishment. Great stuff! I remember teenage years coming by here on weekends for a cuppajoe and a pastry on my skateboard or as part of a run. It always lifts my spirits when I visit Chit Chat Cafe, not purely out of nostalgia either. They have genuinely quality roasts!
Quaint locals cafe. Fresh delicious food. Cozy seating. Great place to read a book or play a board game while taking in the view. A must stop if you are in the area.
Pacifica is the place my mom loves the most. I took her while the waves were so high. We have never eaten at this cafe. It is a small cafe off the road before going out to the pier. They sell food...coffee...bagels and bagel sandwiches...soup...clam chowder and snacks like chips and candy. My mom and I shared a pulled pork sandwich and a bowl of clam chowder. The food was just ok. The bread roll was crispy how I love it...but the meat was nothing to brag about. The clam chowder was for sure watered down. I make clam chowder a lot and this tasted like Campbell's in a can. There certainly was not much clam flavor nor chunks of clam. The staff was so friendly and helpful...wonderful people. There is a sign that they have great coffee...but I never tried that. I brought water. They have seats inside the restaurant to sit and watch the waves. The other food could be good...I cannot say...I just was not like wow...I would love to eat here again. If you are at the pier at Pacifica looking for some coffee...hot chocolate or a snack this place might be for you.
This is the spot to go to friendly workers locally owned been around since forever cool place to go and chill if you have nowhere to go need to get out the cold or if you just want to listen to some music or whatever it is it have going on it’s chill there. The bagels smack. It gets the cosmos stamp of approval.
What a gem. Small town coffee shops are hard to find these day and I found one that offers a wide variety of baked goods and wonderful coffee drinks. The amazing lady Christina is beyond fantastic and created my sandwich perfectly. I recommend to anyone visiting the area to stop by one of two locations. They also have live bands and local artists.
This is always my favorite place to stop when I come home to the Bay Area to visit. The view of the ocean is incredible. Chit Chat Cafe takes you back two more simple times.

Amazing little cafe. Fabulous food! and really nice people working there. The views are amazing too... the coffee if superb and the pulled pork sandwich was the best ever! Thanks so much for all the good time there!
Easy parking in the street. Friendly and quick service. Only had coffee there. There is a $5 minimum for card. Mixed seating including arm chairs, tables, and bench with cushion.
Peaceful beachside spot and cafe — the latte was refreshing and just perfect with the ocean breeze. Host is welcoming and sweett.
Local coffee shop owned by long term residents of Pacifica who also used to work at the cafe under the previous owners! I love to support a small business that feels warm, welcome & most of all familiar. Highly recommend the soups and sandwiches!
Such a cute little cozy coffee. The staff is so friendly and it is quite relaxing there! I usually hate doing work/homework at a coffee shop, it can be too hectic and I get every distracted yet here the coziness and the friendliness of the coffee made me quite productive!
We went to hear a friend play music, so there’s your 5 stars for atmosphere! So few places for local live music. And so few funky cool coffee shops around. We loved that they could ice any tea for us, as it was quite warm. Also I tried the reuben, and it was great! Tender pastrami, plenty of each ingredient, well balanced and moist and good. Will be back!

Classic locals cafe. I stopped in for coffee and bagel early Sunday. Very quiet and laid back. Staff was super sweet and locals very welcoming. The view of the ocean from the beach was stellar. The physical building is pretty tired and in need of attention
This Cafe is quiet nice. It has a very relaxed atmosphere (~10am) and the staff is very friendly. The toilet and the interior is nice too. Sadly, my food (Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich w/bacon, avocado, etc.) was not good. It was really dry, had no flavor and was a little small too. Something I would expect to get at a deli for 3$ out of the freezer, not for 15$ in a cafe. Therefore I think a visit is not worth it.
Clam chowder was full of sand. Each bite was super crunchy :/
The food rating is only for their espresso-based drink. This is a good local coffee shop with several good smelling food options, but below average coffee. I didn't get to try their food so I might come back for that. But for espresso, they pre-grounded their coffee ahead of time. Maybe they compensated this by providing a lower price for their espresso-based drinks (i.e., $4 for a small latte) The atmosphere is very cozy with a bunch of comfortable lounge chairs.

Coffees came with entertainment provided by a rat. The rat skipped out headed for the restrooms from under the frig. Cafe floor dirty and cafe looked like its storage of food and cartons needed improvement. Would not return.
