Our Story
Where The Coast Meets The Tarmac
Pilot Light is a family-run cafe tucked inside the Half Moon Bay Airport — from the husband-and-wife team behind San Mateo's beloved All Spice. Come for a proper breakfast or a laid-back lunch, and stay for the show: planes taking off, mountains on one side, farm fields on the other.
