“ We made the perfect choice coming here for breakfast! My banana foster French toast was absolutely amazing, and my daughter's Mexican omelet was just as delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. The restaurant is small but clean and cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth experience. Plus, there's plenty of parking right outside, which is super convenient. Highly recommend this spot for a satisfying breakfast! ”

“ Our son recommended Taste Cafe as one of their favorite breakfast places in HMB, but was closed during our last visit over Memorial Day weekend. So we finally had a chance to visit for Christmas Eve Beakfast. What a great menu - so many choices for omelettes, crepes, benedicts. Loved the Smoked Salmon crepe with scrambled eggs, tons of smoked salmon, onions! Omelettes are huge. The place was very busy but our server was attentive and super friendly (warned us away from spicy items when we asked). Good coffee. Will definitely return on our next visit to HMB! ”

“ IMHO If you want warm, genuine and friendly service, this is the place!!! The restaurant is bright, clean and whimsical. This is definitely a local favorite. The servers seemed to know everyone who walked in! That's a good sign! My friend and I chose Taste Cafe for lunch, before our pumpkin farm picking experience. Taste Cafe serves brunch offerings and are open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. We were warmly greeted and given our choice of tables. Mario was our super friendly server who offered his favorite entrees. My friend opted for the Chilaquiles, and I ordered a Bacon Belgian Waffle. Portions were ample enough for us to bring home leftovers. Food was good and tasty. I would happily come back to Taste Cafe and try any of their many offerings! ”

“ My partner and I decided to escape to Half Moon Bay during the latest heat wave of this seemingly never-ending summer. We got into town early, and our first stop was Taste for breakfast. Very nice experience. Service was very good, friendly and attentive, but without ever rushing us - and we like to take our time, lol. The food was delicious and satisfying. I had the smoked salmon crepe, my partner had the Mexican omelette. Flavorful and generous portions. We both had the hash browns, and they were honestly some of the best hash browns I've had. I love that they prefer cash! Cash is king, it allows people to transact in privacy, and allows access to people without bank accounts/credit cards. Please support cash-based businesses, and pay with cash whenever you can! Lovely little place, we will return when in the area. ”

“ This cafe has the feel of a little bistro and I like it. I honestly didn't feel like I was in Half Moon Bay, but a bistro in a downtown area. The whole restaurant is nicely decorated, clean and maned by really good people. You can tell when people are proud and happy where they work. The servers were really attentive and friendly. The restaurant is pretty big and they also have an outside eating area, in the rear. As an appetizer, we ordered the Belgian waffle and damn was it incredible. Yes, a Belgian waffle as an appetizer prior to breakfast... Hey, you can't beat a delicious Belgian waffle, why not as an appetizer? I've got to honestly say, that is the best Belgian waffle I've ever had. It was tasty, crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside and showed up nice and hot. I ordered the Ranchero Chilaquiles. They were pretty good, but the sauce was a little strong. Out of all the Chilaquiles, they are a solid number three. What would've made them my number one choice? A little milder sauce, some sour cream and some pico de gallo. My girlfriend ordered the breakfast sandwich. Man, when that breakfast sandwich showed up, it was impressive. It was on their homemade bread, with a slab of ham, scrambled eggs, and cheese. My girlfriend really enjoyed it, but added, it could've used some mayonnaise, That's her taste tho. The coffee deserves an honorable mention, for its deliciousness. I've never understood, why any restaurant that deserves breakfast, would not have good coffee. That definitely makes a big difference for me, and here they know that. They have definitely earned a spot on my go to breakfast restaurants. We will definitely be back to try some of the other items on the breakfast menu and also want to come for lunch. You guys are doing a great job and thank you for the pleasant breakfast experience. ”

“ A must stop for breakfast/ brunch when in HMB! Everytime we go down to visit friends we stop here The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious. The portions are perfect. The hollandaise on the eggs benny is so tasty and they put the perfect amount so you can dip your hash browns in it. My partner always gets the chilaquiles verde and it's their favorite spot in the bay for them. We've also enjoyed the bloody mary's here. It can get pretty busy but we have never waited more than 10 minutes for a table, even on a Sunday. Can't wait for our next trip down from sf! ”
