My husband and I stumbled upon this place while searching on yelp and driving along HWY 1. It is such a cute tucked away cafe overlooking the ocean. Literally, amazing views!! The owner, Jocelyn, was such a delight to talk to. And her food was even more amazing!We had the tocino plate, adobo loco moco and the bibingka pancakes. We forgot to rate pictures of the first two dishes, but the pancakes, AMAZING. We definitely are going to be visiting more!

I found it unfriendly and for the price you pay the portions are not that great. I gave them a chance because I am local, but I would rather drive down to Pacifica or up the coast to Princeton/El Granada.

Come relax and enjoy the nice view and good Filipino influenced food. The service is a bit slow and the food is a bit pricey. However, the owner is very kind and the food is quite unique. Both pancakes we got had unique memorable flavors and characters. Be patient and enjoy!

Looking for a comfort food meal, Kusina 7107 is the place to go. All the meal that we ordered were very tasty and fits our palate especially my eggplant omellette meal. The place is located over looking the ocean and it is very cozy. The service is just right. Many customers came in when we arrived but our food still came in time. Enjoyed every bit!

Really wanted to have a better experience here as we are always excited for new places in the neighborhood. Unfortunately we did not have a great first experience.The Ube pancakes were very good and are a 5star on their own. The bacon was decent and the hashbrowns have great texture. The view is great and the vibe they created is peaceful. The owner was welcoming but not all together friendly or warm to us, which was disappointing as we like connecting with new local businesses.The classic breakfast, which is 17 dollars, came with 1 egg hashbrowns, and bacon. It says “eggs” on menu and other pictures show meals with 2 eggs. I asked and was told by the owner it only comes with 1. I’m sorry but that’s ridiculous for 17 dollars.The coffee has a flavor and is likely a spiced blend. Not for me.

Lovely spot right off Highway 1. Happy that there is a Filipino restaurant here on the coast, diversifying the options to choose from which are mostly fried, carby foods. Tapa and Adobo was tasty, just like my grandmother's. I'll be back to try the coffee/pastries and other dishes!Kid-friendliness: Provided chalk to color with on the table

A new hidden neighborhood gem! Had a wonderful homecooked meal of Filipino cuisine. The owner, Jocelyn, is attentive and service was quick. Menu is incredibly interesting and portions are filling. Cozy atmosphere with ocean views. A new favorite!

I was excited to try this place - who know a Filipino restaurant would exist in the middle of Half Moon Bay. The place was small, yet homey. We tried the arroz caldo, tofu, and ube lava pancake. Since it was a small restaurant, they had a small team. We got to meet the chef Jocelyn who greeted our table. It's always fun to meet the master behind all the dishes. My 3 year old son thoroughly enjoyed his matcha donut! Unfortunately it was a cloudy day so we didn't get to see the ocean from the window but it was such a great spot for brunch!

Really good Filipino food! I had chicken adobo loco moco; wifey had tapa. My adobo was as good as my mother-in-law's, which was the best adobo I've ever eaten. The tapa was also very good. We shared an ube cookie for dessert; it too was great...so I bought two more to-go We also got one each chicken and pork empanadas. We both liked what we think was the pork better. The crust of the empanadas was light and tasty too. So glad my wife spotted this place while driving on highway 1 in Montara. It's a really good small restaurant and to our knowledge is the only Filipino place in the coast (and no, Daly City is not coastside).

Rare new hidden gem on the coast. A chef-y mom’s kitchen, making delicious and unique Asian fusion dishes alongside homemade pastries and great coffee. Reminds me of Babette’s Feast. Highly recommendWe get the ube pancakes, tapas beef plate and empanadas for brunch pretty much every weekend now. From their dinner menu we’ve ordered the salmon curry, and it was incredible - perfectly cooked salmon and veggies in a light yet complex curry sauce that complimented the dish perfectly. Note, the spicy version comes with a handful of whole, hot peppers thrown in! We also tried one of their specials that was made with taro leaves and shrimp, which was incredibly tasty. Recommend texting in advance for dinner or just making sure you have plenty of time if you go in the morning as seems like they’re still getting front-end service setup.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

Delicious food, great setvice! Ubi pancakes were the bomb! Cafe latte was perfect. Had the beef and garlic rice as well. So delicious! Ubi donut with cream cheese frosting did not disappoint. Cannot wait to go back!

Great spot. Avocado toast was great. Coffee has been good. Some of the meals I’ve had are “okay”. But I do really like this spot.
