The vegetarian bowls are the best ! And I love their pastries too. I wish they stayed open later for dinner.

I love this spot! Good food, desserts & pastries and nice ambience. They have food displays so you can visually know how your dish will look like. You order first then seat yourself, and usually have quick service but seating can be hard to get on weekends around noon if the weather is nice for the outdoor section, but I've always managed to find a spot. Their Dirty Bird salad, Breakfast Bowl, bruschetta and fresh pastries and Central latte are amazing! A bit pricy for breakfast overall but I think its normal for Burlingame/California prices. For parking, there are several lots and street parking, all meter parking for this part of town.

Most of the food has been pretty good actually, but the soup tasted terribly burnt. Like that char that has been there got boiled in with everything else.. just don't order the soup. It should have been $0 instead of $5.

Cute place for brunch! Everything was good but nothing exceptional and quite similar to some other places (like Foreigner in San Mateo). I enjoyed the salmon Benedict :) will likely try one of their breakfast bowls next time.

It was my first time at caffe central and I love it highly recommend.
Kind of a trendy, popular breakfast and code place. I love the outdoor seating area and the air, high ceiling indoor seating. Order at the counter, receive a number and wait for your food to come.For first timers, choosing food can be intimidating. There are food display counters, menu on the wall, and paper menus. So much input. But I think it turns out they all say the same thing. I do thing the food display is great as you see exactly what you’ll get.Anyway, the California omelette was fantastic. Really well cooked. Some places overcook omelette but not these. And it comes with a couple slices of delicious toasted baguette. Eggs Benedict are another high recommendation. Someone else got a sandwich also on the Baguette which looked good. Note it’s the hard type of Baguette, not the soft.And lastly, I don’t have any but the pastries and desserts looked delicious. Maybe next time.Really good restaurant.

very good for brunchA relaxed and stylish interiorI had a sandwich and it was very delicious.The coffee that is brewed one cup at a time is also good.
This place is the cutest!! Indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate parties of 2-6 people. They make out really easy to pick what you want to eat as they have every single dish on display for your viewing pleasure. You order your food at the cashier first & they’ll give you a number to take with you to your seat. Easily identifiable vegan, vegetarian, & gluten free options. Buddha bowl is super yummy with well flavored tofu, fresh avocado, cucumber, & radishes over a bed of quinoa. Drinks are plentiful with iced and warm teas, lattes, & juices. An entire bakery section as well if you’re in a rush and need go grab something to go. Ambiance is simplistic, very much a cafe style environment. Multiple locations as well. This one is super close to the airport.Vegetarian options: Easily to pick out which dishes are suitable for vegetarians and vegansDietary restrictions: They highlight what items are vegan or gluten free

Super cute place for brunch. THE BEST quiches, a must try when you visit. Easy ordering method and you pay beforehand so you can leave at your leisure. Self serve water near the back in cute mason jars. I would rate the food about average brunch food, french toast is pretty good and the sandwiches are too. Only thing is some of the sandwiches are stuffed with a lot so it’s hard to bite through. The place can get crowded near lunch time.Vegetarian options: Quite a few vegetarian options, usually in the form of toasts or pancakes.Parking: Burlingame ave is always tricky to find parking on. My recommendations are the paid parking lots, street parking is hard to come by and you have to parallel park on the crowded road.

Loved this place! The omelet and lox on a croissant was very well made, filling and tasty. The coffees are delicious!! Got the Cuban latte and Dirty Chai. The mini pumpkin cheesecake was light sweet and perfect snack.
