I ordered the flatbread with romesco hummus and tapenade - INSANELY good. Please send recipe :) I don't know how the flatbread itself could be THAT good but it's the ideal version of bread to go with any meal. The hummus-tapenade had a ton of flavor. Felt like the luckiest person to order the best thing on the menu, so this review is for the rest of you to enjoyn

Amazing risotto (ask for it even if not on the menu), great location, friendly and professional staff (Luis and team are great). For us with Celiac's or gluten sensitivity, it'd be great to have gluten free buns to enjoy your burgers. Thanks!

It's a few minutes from the beach. The food is ok but the pastries and lattes are delicious! Price are pretty average and you can park right in front of the place. It's very good to pick up and go to the nearest beach. The environment is street like.

Great brunch spot next to Stinson beach! We parked in the Stinson beach parking and walked over. The service was a bit slow but they were very kind. The food is definitely an elevated step above your typical brunch. This beautiful coastal cafe had yummy caffeine options and we left very happy and full. My one complaint would be the high price point but you truly pay for convenience when you come here.

Came here while waiting for my sister's 30k race to finish up! I got the Parkside and added bacon which was the obvious choice! Their peach spread was beyond amazing and I would definitely buy a jar of it! Overall solid breakfast spot for a chilly fall morning! We also got the steak & eggs which was really good! The only issue we ran into was the mimosa one of us had wasn't that great - seemed to taste kind of odd

I didn't realize that hush puppies were the missing food from my diet I never knew I would be craving. Love at first bite. Oh, the maple butter. It made me wiggle in my seat. It was delectable. It was a blind shot on a list of many attractive sounding appetizers and I hit the bullseye. Tried two wines. Both were excellent. Kale salad was perfectly seasoned and helped balance the hush puppies... sort of. The food here is great. I saw like 7 fried chickens being prepped and ready to deliver and I'm a vegetarian but they looked so good I temporarily questioned my convictions. If you go as a large group, expect a wait. I think it's a great spot for a date.

I checked out the cafe side while visiting the beach. The service was fast and friendly. I opted in for one of the pastries that had seasonal berries and a may have green tea latte. Both were delicious!

Wow, What a great find on a warm Saturday morning. My wife and I after a 5.2 mile hike on Mt. Tam, made our way down to Stinson Beach and were pleasantly surprised to find Parkside Cafe for breakfast. I ordered the Hash, and my wife ordered the Egg Croissant. The hash was artisanal and created by a chef who really cares about food as art. Potatoes, chicken, roasted vegetable's with two over easy eggs on top. My wifes Egg Croissant was light a flaky,and beautifully prepared. Atmosphere was beautiful and service was outstanding. What a pleasant surprise!!
