Our family gets coffee here every morning. It was updated recently by a local Chef. Great pastries, coffee and breakfast. If you go early you will bump elbows with famous surfers and long time fisherman.

This restaurant is very OLD and divey. But it is a local favorite. The Harbor Bar next door is the LOCAL watering hole.

Parks & Nature

This is a Marine Wildlife Preserve. You have to drive to get here but great parking, a toilet and you are sure to see many seals.

Across where you see the big round ball telescope, there is a trail north along the bluffs with beautiful views.

Shopping

You have to drive six miles downtown to get to the major grocery store. Weekends traffic is bad so we shop before the weekend. Otherwise we buy vegetables from the Farmer's Daughter Vegetable stand on Hwy 1 North about 100 meters. Or the Coastside Market which is also north and less traffic two miles.

If you want fresh organic non GMO stuff this is the place. It is a local favorite but a little pricey. It is comparable to whole foods and has a hot food bar if you don't feel like cooking or eating out.

Essentials

We go to the Coastside Market on the weekends. They have a small produce section, chips and guacamole and they are known for having the best Wine selection in town. They are across the street from a GREAT playground, Moss Beach park.

Everything Else

Main Street is the main downtown Half Moon Bay. You should drive into town once and walk up and down the streets. Some Favorite Main Street Spots: Cafe Society for Coffee The Coffee Company for Breakfast Main Street Sushi for Sushi THE SAN BENITO HOUSE for Sandwiches and Drink (THIS IS VERY HISTORIC and cheap!) They make their sandwiches on Home Made Bread!

Getting Around

I drive to the Colma BART station and park my car there and take public transit into San Francisco. It is so easy and fast. I think you also get to see more different kinds of people.
