A Pacifica day trip boasts beachy hikes, creative lattes and foggy IPAs

On a sunny Sunday in late October, we’re ensconced at Pacifica’s tiny Perfect Pour Cafe, hazarding guesses about latte flavors. Matcha, ube and cinnamon bun lattes seem fairly straightforward. But what does a piñata taste like? Or a witches brew?

Just a few blocks from the ocean, Perfect Pour and its creative lattes, panini and breakfast burritos woo hikers just back from the trails of Mori Point. Ditto for those seeking sustenance before the hefty shlep up the Point’s Bootleggers Steps, all 185 of them.
