Pacific Java Cafe

Wonderful coffee and tea. Way better than any chain. Will be visiting again.

Local store with plenty of good coffee and tea options. Very reasonably priced. My iced matcha latte with oat milk was very well made, with strong matcha flavour. They serve pastries from Mazzetti's. When I visited, there was a dude going to town on the piano in the store fun times.

Pacific Java Cafe isn't just a caffeine fix, it's an experience. Steps from the Rockaway beach, this local haven offers a delightful escape. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee hits you as soon as you enter, promising a symphony of flavors. Ample seating, both indoors and on a charming outdoor patio, caters to every mood. Need a quiet corner to work or catch up with friends? Head upstairs, where comfy nooks and a relaxed atmosphere await. But the true magic lies in the grand piano – free for anyone to play. During our visit, an elderly gentleman tickled the ivories, his gentle melodies adding a touch of whimsical charm to the cafe's ambiance. Whether you're seeking a solo coffee break or a social hangout, Pacific Java Cafe offers a warm welcome and a taste of Pacifica's laid-back spirit.

Everyone that works there is kind and lovely and has their own unique flair for making drinks. However, Alyssa makes the most magical latté art and is so kind! My absolute favorite neighborhood coffee shop. And when Rick the piano man is playing it adds such a lovely ambiance to my daily dose of caffeine.

Good food, good drinks. Nice environment, good seating for the space, good music. The young male barista must be new; he’s friendly and gives pretty good customer service, but needs some work on professionalism. My customer experience was good, but my professional side cringed several times overhearing his conversations. (Fish tales and shocking realizations about matcha containing caffeine might be saved for back-of-house, or at least not shouted. Overall good experience though, I recommend the place!
