the cold brew here is the move if you're heading out to the coast or coming back sandy and tired from the beach. half moon bay runs on early mornings and salt air, and dawn patrol on broadway fits that rhythm without making a thing of it. you won't find a lot of ceremony, just coffee that people in this town return to, consistently, because it actually holds up. the espresso drinks pull their weight on a cold midweek morning when the fog is still sitting on highway 1 and you haven't fully committed to the day yet. regulars clearly feel at home here, which tends to mean the bar is set and maintained. end your morning on broadway with whatever they're pulling as a single origin pour-over.
