PB / Mission Beach Dining
Pacific Beach and Mission Beach run on good coffee, fresh fish, and late-night bites. Here's what's worth your time.
Better Buzz Coffee
The local coffee chain that earned its following. Strong espresso, good cold brew, and locations close to the beach. The line moves fast.
Cannonball Sushi
Sushi and Japanese small plates right at Belmont Park, with a terrace that looks out over Mission Beach. The rolls are creative and the happy hour is worth timing your afternoon around.
JRDN Restaurant
The rooftop bar and restaurant at Tower23 Hotel. Good for a sunset cocktail or a full dinner with an ocean view. The brunch is popular on weekends.
Juice Wave
Cold-pressed juices, smoothie bowls, and acai. A solid stop before or after the beach when you want something light and fresh.
Miss B's Coconut Club
Tropical cocktails and Southeast Asian-inspired food in a room that feels like a beach vacation. The coconut shrimp and the frozen drinks are the draws.
Molly's
A Mission Beach bar and grill that's been around long enough to feel like a local institution. Burgers, wings, and cold beer a short walk from the boardwalk.
Olive Cafe
Mediterranean food in a relaxed PB setting. Good hummus, solid wraps, and a patio that catches the afternoon sun. A reliable lunch spot.
Palmy's
A neighbourhood bar with a full kitchen. The kind of place where you can get a decent meal and stay for a few rounds without feeling out of place.
Rosemarie's Burgers
A small, no-frills burger spot that does the basics right. Fresh patties, good fries, and nothing on the menu that costs too much. Cash only.
The Baked Bear
Build-your-own ice cream sandwiches with fresh-baked cookies and a long list of ice cream flavours. A PB favourite for a reason. Expect a line on warm evenings.
The Mission Cafe
Breakfast and brunch done well, with a menu that leans creative without being fussy. The French toast is the one everyone orders. Lines on weekends are part of the deal.
Woody's Pacific Beach
A PB staple with a big outdoor patio and a menu of American classics. Good for a casual dinner or a long afternoon of drinks with the group.
