Soul Grind Coffee Roasters

I went here for the first time to meet a friend and had a wonderful experience. Fantastic coffee shop experience with a great beach town vibe.Although the weather was cool and foggy, nothing could spoil the great time sitting outside observing surfers, dogs, and locals alike.I had a pour over (medium roast) with the steel cut oats. The coffee was so perfectly balanced, not bitter, and just right, I didn't need cream or sugar. The oats were amazing. So perfectly textured and creamy, with a nutty flavor. I thought they had made it with heavy cream. I was astounded to learn they hadn't. Fantastic experience, def. try it if you get the chance. Everything that went by our table, from omlettes to salads, looked delicious. I can't wait to try the other goodies on the menu.

Wow this place is busy. The line was out the door. The coffee was good and the menu is vast. As soon as you come in you can see the menu and real menu items at the register. Sooo yummy. When the food was coming out it looked so good passing by. I got the mocha and I was very pleased. There was a young girl out front with her art work. It was made with the coffee grounds - quite amazing. Her name is Chi . I'll come back and try the fullMenu. I was dropping by to see the art which caught my eye. I'm glad I did.

There are coffee shop experiences and then there's a coffee shop experience with that great beach town experience.And in spite of the stormy gloomy weather that was happening at the time of my visit, not even inclement conditions could suppress the cool vibe this place exuded.I could tell many were locals as they rattled off their orders with ease and that sense of familiarity which added to the warmth and hometown feeling at this place.I only had coffee and so did my friend who invited me to this place, so I can't speak much of the food, but from my observations, the dishes that went whizzing past me looked great. The atmosphere there was spirited, perhaps accentuated by the fact that all the customers were inside as the outdoor spaces were inhabitable.Between the customers and the staff, the energy of this place was invigorating, one that is truly organic that I feel has developed over time. I highly recommend this place that truly embodies the term neighborhood coffee shop to its fullest.

3.5 stars from me! This spot allows dogs in the back patio area and outside, they're not allowed to sit with you indoors fyi. I met up with two friends for brunch, and by 11:30 AM, the line was already stretching out the door. They have a cute display at the counter showing what the dishes look like, which helps when deciding. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. I'd recommend having someone in your group grab a table while another person orders, since the line moves slowly, and most people use that time to read the menu. I ordered a matcha chai latte and one of the basic breakfast combos--one fried egg, one pancake, and some chicken sausages--which came out to around $32. Overall, the food was average and not particularly memorable. I think this place gets a lot of hype because of its prime location--it's literally right next to the beach, with little competition for brunch in the area. My friends and I planned to hit the beach afterward, so it made sense logistically. Parking is fairly easy since there's a large lot shared with a grocery store, though you might have to walk across it. Next time, I'd probably choose a different eatery in Pacifica and then drive to the beach instead!

Super cute place!We came by pretty early on a Sunday morning and beat the crowd rush.Ambiance: 5/5Huge open space that allows tons of natural lighting. They also have a backyard space with a lot of tables so you can always head outside if it's not too cold. The interior space is decorated finely and gives you a nostalgic feeling,Service: 5/5Everyone we came across was friendly and welcoming to their shop.Drinks: 4/5Gingerbread latte + hazelnut latte - Both didn't come out piping hot, which we appreciated because we were able to taste our drinks right away. Hazelnut's nutty flavor was on point. Both drinks were creamy and delicious. We'll come by next time and try their food.**I wish they didn't let dogs inside the space because there were SO many of them inside (I also have a dog so I have nothing against them) but one of my friends has a really bad allergy to dogs and it's concerning how they had an open door policy on them**

Pro-Tip: order online to skip the line on a busy brunch morning! The NOLA I got was not very good - it had a strange acidity and intense bitterness that was past the point of enjoyable. I came home and add a bunch of milk to make it barely palatable.However, the brunch foods were very solid! I got a Local's Only with scrambled eggs. The bacon was crispy, eggs very standard, and waffle was fluffy! The maple syrup was also real maple, which is a nice touch. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but it was decent and a good option if you are in Pacifica!

I love the beach, I love matcha and this place has both! With a wide selection of drink options, pastries and breakfast/brunch items Soul Grind is a great place to get a morning or midday coffee and meal. This is my third time here and while I had previously stuck to just ordering a matcha and a pastry, I decided to try their sandwich this time. I had the chicken club with pesto and it was delicious. My boyfriend had the pastrami sandwich and he enjoyed it too. Paired with hot drinks, the food was nice and filling. I went on a Sunday so it was pretty packed inside. Although it was cold, we sat outside and it was still really nice. They always have good music playing too. This cafe will always be my favorite and I can't wait to try the other items on their menu. They have each item displayed on the front counter so you know what to expect. Parking is easy with the big parking lot and if you love coastal views, good food and coffee, you'll surely enjoy this place as much as I have.

Such a cool experience heading to one of the best coffee spots in Pacifica ~ with a line out the door and surfers coming/going from the coast, it's def the spot to be. Walking distance from our overnight lodging, we had the opportunity of having Soul Grind a few times during our stay in Pacifica. You can scan a QR code to view the menu while in line to speed up your time with the cashier, or there are actual menus to grab when you get through the front door. Really great menu of in-house roasted coffee, a selection of teas, "soul chai", teas, iced drinks, and fun specialties like charcoal lattes and a latte with a home-made mix of vanilla & caramel called the Cliffside.The food menu is stellar with a little something for everyone ~ breakfast bagels, parfaits, toasts, quiches, soup/sandwiches, hearty grain salads, pastries/quick grab desserts, and brunch on weekends (Friday-Sunday;7am - 1PM). The iced chai, macchiato, and iced cold brew (slow-brewed for 18 hours), were perfection. We chose to grab brunch at another spot because we were on limited time, but would def come back to grab something fun from the menu. Friendly service, line moves quick if prepared, and can't beat the awesome people watching/surfer gazing. And there's plenty of cool merch to think over while waiting your turn. All in all, the hype is real..I was hangin all the way ten' for sure!

I wrote a review roughly 6+ years ago about Soul Grind and my only complaint seemed to be the customer service. You would think that 6 years later, the customer service would've improved. It hasn't. Soul Grind, your customer service is dog shit. Your baristas are rude and condescending as hell. Now, I will take 100% of them blame for not paying attention and opening the wrong door. I missed the sign, what excuse would you like because I have a few. I just wasn't paying attention. My bad. With the glares I recieved you would've thought I came in hot, causing a scene. I may have also missed the sign that said to check in with a barista if you have a mobile order. Apparently you do! Not to worry, the barista will make sure to patronize you so (hopefully) you won't forget going forward. I checked the ordering site, the confirmation email, and the confirmation texts and nothing says to check in with a barista (kind of like Philz) if you've made a mobile order. That may be something you'd want to add so your customers know ahead of time and don't stand there while being completely ignored by 3 baristas (I was the only one standing by the coffee bar, btw) While I appreciate the hot and ready coffee/latte, it defeats the whole purpose of using that feature. Your coffee is mediocre at best and that's only because there are no other coffee shops in Pacifica to compare you to. Have the day ya'll deserve!

I came here after working and had a hot chocolate. Since it's about 5 minute walk from beach I was able to see the sunset with my hot chocolate and it was chilly. Basically perfect end to my day. The chocolate was super good, I was pleasantly surprised. The waffle plate I got was a little dry for my liking, but I also didn't ask for extra syrup like I normally do. Overall good spot, cute ambiance, it's like a coffee shop with a view. All workers are friendly and make you feel welcomed. Check it out if you can!
