Sam's Cafe

Old-fashioned diner at Hwy 92 and Main Street serving classic American breakfast and Mexican-inspired specialties.

Sam's Cafe gives a Half Moon Bay breakfast plenty of possibilities, bringing classic diner plates together with Mexican-inspired egg dishes. Chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and a chorizo-and-black-bean omelette sit alongside eggs Benedict, corned beef hash, and biscuits with gravy. We like the choice between those different styles of a substantial morning meal. Sweet breakfasts include pancakes, waffles, French toast, and crêpes with fruit and chocolate-hazelnut spread. A smoked-salmon bagel provides another direction, while breakfast burritos and skillets add potatoes, eggs, and savory fillings. For lunch, burgers, club sandwiches, tuna melts, and salads keep the selection broad. Located on San Mateo Road, Sam's offers an approachable menu that makes room for both a familiar breakfast favorite and a dish with salsa, chorizo, or queso fresco.
