At the Chit Chat Cafe the Music is playing. The food is hot and delicious. The Coffee is satisfying. The Coastal Sunset is beautiful!Quick service for a made to order. Delivered with a smile.You'll have a good time here! I sure did!On Manor Drive in Pacifica, California.

This cafe is so cool . It was my first time here . I went on Saturday 10/5/2024. I was just walking around the area and I heard music from inside and I went in to check it out . There were people sitting inside . A band of 4 people were playing and a lady was singing. I ordered a cafe latte to just sit for a while and it was really cool . I am not sure if it's like this all the time , only on weekends or what but my experience was awesome.

Chit-Chat Cafe is located next to Sharp Park Beach in Pacifica. I decided to stop by for a quick snack. Fairly short review incoming.I got myself the lox bagel sandwich ($10.50). I decided to run with the everything bagel. There was nothing to complain about the bagel sandwich. The bagel was a bit stale, but the lox was great and the lettuce quality was fresh. I'm docking a star off for the pricing being off. The lox bagel is listed on the menu as $9.25, but I paid $10.50 for it. It was a shame because I had exact change in cash for two items, but had to drop one of those items because of the pricing inaccuracy.The line situation may be a little cramped for some since the entrance is so close to the register. Some seating available. They also sell merch and postcards here.

Opens early- local beach place, friendly people working here. Beautiful location. If you are here early... you can park at the post office before 8am. We watch for whales from the large windows. Coffee, expresso, pastries, bagels, oatcakes, sandwiches, a variety of coffee drinks. Made to order, however you want. Comfy chairs, borrow a book, relax with breakfast or lunch. Music on some weekends.Plenty of parking nearby... Next to the Manor Shopping Center, with the Safeway and other businesses. Also next to a great hot yoga studio.

This place has recently come under new ownership and it shows. It had been looking increasingly shabby over the years. No blame to anyone as I know Covid hit it hard. It's much nicer inside now and the service has even improved. Barista Faith was on duty on Sunday when I visited to see Rick Sanders play his awesome loop show. Faith greeted every customer with a smile, good eye contact, and friendly service. I ordered an ice mocha. Now, usually when I order an iced mocha at a coffee shop, some bored human will dump some coffee, ice, milk, and chocolate syrup in my glass and take my money. But Faith did not simply make me an iced mocha. She CRAFETD it. And it was great!The Chit Chat could still use a bit of TLC, especially those ugly ceiling tiles, but it has once again become the cozy community hub that we all love. I will visit more often.

Chit-Chat cafe has a real neighborhood vibe that sort of mimics the laid back vibe of Pacifica, where you don't mind wearing a jacket every summer because the fog and wind reminds you that you are next to the Pacific Ocean. In fact, this casual cafe is right next to the ocean...you can walk across the street and be on a sand dune cliff above the rip tides. It has that funky old hippy-ish decor and feel, and some of the frequent occupants may have lived through the famous Summer of Love centered in SF in the 1960's. The friendly new owners, Ginger and Hubs, bought this business in late 2023 and it's other location too, also called Chit Chat ( except no hyphen in the Yelp listing) also located nearby in Pacifica. I met a client here and we talked and hung out for over an hour and a half. I ordered a latte, and also got a Turkey sammich which was delicious. They toasted the bread for me. I met Ginger, and overheard that she got tix to see George Clinton's Funkadelic and Parliament, which are not Scott McKenzie singing " San Francisco" in a 60's hippie folk ballad, but OG funk bands with heavy base, beats and Synths from the '70s you'd probably see at the Oakland Coliseum. Either way, it shows the OG vibe here, a bit frozen in time like the cold wind starts to freeze you outside if you're not used to it. It's not completely social security types, however. There were a couple of 30s Asians nearby talking business, and a couple of solos minding their own interests or laptops. Several tables and chairs to chillax and to do your thing here. Oh, they do have live music still, not sure days and times, but it has been a long tradition here that continues. The new owners may sing at their concert " We like the Funk, gotta have that Funk" but the Chit- Chat Cafe is chill and perfect for quiet Chit Chat near the Pacific Ocean.

5 stars. Always. We make sure to visit this cafe few weekends a year. LIVE MUSIC, great coffee, great food. We love their vegetarian options. We aren't necessarily vegetarian though. Chai is delish, husband says the mocha is "good, perfect, creamy" The vibe is super casual, old surf style cafe with a presence of mixed ages. We have enjoyed a plethora of live music through the years. Many different genres, all so groovy to listen to. Sometimes there is spontaneous dancing in the cafe and folks begin to gather on a makeshift dance floor. It is unique. If A Cup Of Jazz is ever scheduled to play there... GO! Each musician is excellent at what they do w an individual cool vibe. We usually enjoy a great bagel breakfast sandwich. You can choose from an assortment of bagel flavors unless you get there late. All the choices are good though. Beach-across-the-street-air... friendly, service oriented staff. Low key, sit back and relax bring your chill vibe. Worth a stop by if you are in the area. If I lived there we would frequent there weekly.

If you're looking for a cute, cozy spot to work that's got an ocean view (or dense fog depending on the time of day, lol), look no further. Lovely service, weekend live music, poetry and other programming, and last but not least-- good coffee. There's a yoga spot right next door, so depending on the time of day there might be a rush, but otherwise, def a great place if you're in the Pacifica area and want to switch things up from Soul Grind.

Longtime patron of the chitchat café now under new owner/management.Ordered the smoked salmon bagel-to say it was anorexic would be a gross understatement, ONE slice of smoked salmon that did not cover the parameter of the bagel. my recommendation to you is don't skip on the proteins.

I live on the other side of town so I don't go to Chit Chat very often, but when I do it's always quality. Service is always awesome, the people who work there are friendly. Today I had the Cubano sandwich, I'm midway through the sandwich and I'm writing the review. First time having lunch there and I'm ready to try every item on the menu. Chit Chat cafe has a feel to it that represents Pacifica. There's not a lot of places like that anymore.
