Very convent location. Staff are very nice and friendly. The fruit smoothie strawberry and mango was delicious. The pizza was OK for the price. I would have wanted more cheese and toppings for $17 twelve inch pizzas.
I ordered the Chicken Artichoke Sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. This is a great Bistro / Pizza bar located right off the beach and they also provide outdoor seating. Highly recommended if you are going to Seacliff State Beach.
As expected these days due to inflation; like most places..especially located near the beach, t'was a little bit pricey. My half jacket potato was a little burnt and was only a half a potato, where was my other half? As for the pizza, it was very bland and hardly had any pepperoni, cheese or sauce. The seagulls and pigeons enjoyed most of it. One could pobably get a better pizza from 711. One of the staff whilst handling food did not observe the California Department of Health guidelines on wearing a mask either!
Generally enjoy grabbing a coffee here in the morning... but today I decided to treat myself to a bagel. After what seemed like way too long I left with this burnt lump of coal that used to be a bagel. Why would you serve this? I didn’t notice until after we left, otherwise I would have asked for a new one.
This place is definitely worth stopping by! The service was great, really reasonable prices considering it's right on the beach, nice homely seating areas, and the food was the best part. We ordered the sand dollar pizza- it's this creamy, garlic bacon & chicken pizza that somehow feels light and savory. The coffee was as good as something you'd get at a speciality coffee shop. It's worth just coming in for a latte if you're not hungry. The only "cons" if you could say that are since the pizza was cooked in a fire oven, some of the crust was burnt, which is to be expected, but unpleasant nonetheless. Most of the seating is outside as well, which I loved, but something to keep in mind. The tables/ chairs were wet so it would have been nice if they had someone come by and wipe the areas down and get rid of the occasional bird dropping instead of us having to waste a bunch of napkins, they also use paper plates for dine in- which I don't really mind if it means costs will be lower but it felt a little out of place for the nice tiled tables.
Fabulous baked goods! Decent coffee drinks. My latte could have been hotter. Turkey Club wasn't as advertised but maybe because we got "to go"? Can be difficult to find parking so come early and beat the beach traffic.
Crash and I stopped here to avoid traffic and take a walk on the beach. Accidentally stumbled in and must say those girls rock. Coffee is delish and service gets 6 out of 5stars. If you want a cosy place with great people and support a local small business……. this is the place.
Just steps from Rio Del Mar beach, Flats Bistro is brick oven artesian pizza done right. They make it with a sourdough crust, fire-roasted tomato sauce, and lots of great toppings. The Brick oven thin-crust pizzas are fabulous with a little olive oil. Offering 12″ pie or by the slice. They have a great selection of delicious pastries, croissants, muffins, scones, cookies, carrot cake, Myers lemon cake, and much more, all made fresh in house, or by our friends at Kelly’s Bakery.. And they love Dogs!
Love this place for a quick breakfast bite or a pizza to take to the beach. Recently, I’ve had a problem with the ‘day old pastries’. They used to be a great deal for a barely-stale muffin, but with the last few weeks I’ve had 2 that just should have been tossed. One fruit tart was clearly fermenting and I didn’t have time to go back as I was running late for work. This morning, similar situation, I got a chocolate muffin with some sort of filling tht was clearly rotten, I couldn’t tell until I bit into it and nearly puked in the car on the way to work. Everything else is always delicious and I get what I pay for with the discounted pastries, but please be more mindful of when things should be tossed out! Keep up the great service.
I would honestly love to give them more stars. I just can't justify paying almost $20tip included for a burnt breakfast croissandwhich, banana, pear and a mineral water. I said nothing to them because I was already gone and almost at work before I noticed the burnt sammich. If they can justify me paying what I did for the poor quality food. I can justify giving them 2 stars. All of my reviews are honest and ALWAYS up for review. My intent is to give transparent reviews without getting too personal.
