Pacific Java Cafe

san francisco takes its coffee seriously, maybe more than any other american city, and the options can be overwhelming if you don't know where to look. pacific java cafe, out on dondee way in pacifica, sits a little apart from the denser neighborhoods closer to the bay, which turns out to suit it. the regulars who've found it keep coming back, and that kind of loyalty doesn't build without something worth returning to. if you're heading down the coast or already know this stretch of the peninsula, it's the kind of stop that actually rewards the detour. go for a morning coffee before the fog burns off the water.
