Crema's Take
“Pacific Pearl Cafe is a genuinely welcoming spot where the owner's passion for fresh, quality ingredients really shines through, making it a standout destination for those seeking gluten-free options and hearty, thoughtfully-prepared meals. The cozy atmosphere draws in families and friends looking to linger over generous breakfast portions and specialties like their chef-recommended Yellowtail Tuna Melt, though it's worth noting that the staff's knowledge of dietary accommodations can be inconsistent. With excellent pastries like their white chocolate pecan cookies and a reputation for impeccable service, this San Clemente gem feels like the kind of place where you'll want to become a regular.”
What to expect
