P Town Coffee & Tea is an Asian woman-owned café tucked inside a vintage red railroad caboose on Reina Del Mar Avenue in Pacifica, California. It's the kind of place that surprises you the first time and pulls you back every time after.

The red caboose

The café's home is a genuine vintage railcar — bright red, unmistakable, and parked right in the heart of Pacifica. Reviewers consistently call it "adorable," and stepping inside for a coffee or bubble tea feels genuinely unlike anywhere else.

The menu punches well above the caboose's tiny footprint: coffee, boba and bubble tea, açaí smoothies, bagels, bao buns, and breakfast items. It's a surprisingly creative spread served with real warmth.

Small, playful details

Alongside the drinks and bites, P Town sells food-themed earrings — including bubble tea earrings — a small retail touch that says everything about the shop's personality. Fun, creative, and a little unexpected.
A Pacifica stop worth making

Fog-kissed and just south of San Francisco, Pacifica has the kind of laid-back coastal energy that suits P Town perfectly. Whether you're a local regular or just passing through, there's always a warm welcome waiting at the caboose.
