“This is a warm and cozy neighborhood coffee/breakfast/hangout place. At a quiet corner off the busy street. Regulars come here every morning having a cup of coffee and bagels and read newspaper here. Super nice and cozy vibes. Everything is at unbelievably reasonable prices. If you just need something nice and simple and just hang out, this is the place. People are super nice here. We always occupy that outdoor table with our dogs.“
“Best boba in my opinion. My drink of choice is the strawberry matcha latte (my husband prefers just the matcha latte). The other drinks are ok but nothing beats the strawberry matcha latte. My son, who is not a boba fan, loves the strawberry fields drink, which is strawberry puree in milk. The spot is small, a little sticky, and has some flies, and you get lots of kids, but the service is pretty good. In our most recent visit, my son accidentally knocked over his drink and the cashier immediately offered to remake his drink at no charge.It's located well and very walkable to others places for a good meal.“
“Super cute cafe with amazing drinks and food with hints of Asian influence. I ordered the black sesame latte and the ricotta yuzu toast. The toast was especially impressive in the way in brought together a variety of flavors. Everything about the interior was modern. cozy and picturesque and I had really enjoyed staying here and working on sketches.I do want to note that I arrived on a Friday around 2pm and the place was pretty packed and their pastries had already sold out. I would come back earlier next time for the croissants :)“
“Such a cute and different coffee shop. I had the Honeybee latte and a tomato quiche. The latte was far better than I expected- perfect balance of sweet and flavorful. Not overly sweet at all! The quiche was very flavorful and moist and the crust was buttery and flaky. I ordered mine to go but I thoroughly enjoyed the decor while I waited for my order to be made. Cute little details all over the place. The hand doodled coffee sleeve was a fun and adorable touch. Looking forward to returning on my next visit to Burlingame.“
“I would highly recommend the black sesame with coconut filling birthday cake. It is so yummy and not sweet. Great and friendly customer service. I have ordered the same birthday cake two months in a row. This will be my Go To place for getting birthday cakes. Please support our local restaurants.“
“Esther and Giuliano, are just two amazing people! We stopped here purely based on reviews, and it did not disappoint. The coffee was absolutely wonderful! My wife is the coffee drinker and said her latte was one of the best she's ever had. I'm not big on coffee, but if we lived near here I'd come everyday because the coffee was so good. But what truly sets them apart is their hospitality. From the moment we walked in until we left, they were both so sweet and genuine. This will be a must stop everytime we're in SF from now on.“
“What a hidden gem we stumbled upon! It was 9:00 am on a Friday, right as they were opening their doors, and already there was a buzz of activity with people streaming in and placing their orders. Overall, it was a delightful experience. I absolutely adored it. And let me tell you, their coffee? To die for! (Haha!)Their menu offers such a unique selection of dishes that you won't find elsewhere. I'd even go as far as to say it's one-of-a-kind. I opted for the croque madam, and let me tell you, it was a generous portion size! My boyfriend went for the scrambles, and he was equally impressed. The owner or general manager was incredibly attentive, which only added to the overall positive vibe of the place.Thanks a bunch! We'll definitely be back for more!“
“Very good food, lots of options great service nice employees, not too expensive but in a sort of strange location. But I do go here semi constantly. I would recommend you try once if you are a fan of sandwiches, just know they are quite big so do not expect to eat the whole thing while you are there.“
“Very friendly staff that gave delicious recommendations and gave me a rundown on Turkish coffee for my first time! I'm a huge coffee guy and the Turkish coffee here was pretty good, pastries were great though! There's relatively limited seating but it's also great for some grab and go bites! Will definitely come here again to this semi-hidden gem :)“
“This cafe is like going to your favorite aunt or grandmas house who is really good at cooking and baking. There is a menu but it seems more like they make what they want and sell what they have - feels very quaint and homemade Tonkatsu sandwich - big pork cutlet with a squishy bun and a generous portion of finely shredded cabbage. Yummy and crispy, pork was a touch dry. Matcha cornet was delicious, great flavor w the cream and nice soft cornet Melon pan - did not get much melon fragrance and felt a bit dry/stale, but great crisp sugar top. There's some chocolate inside the bread which I did not expect.“
“Ist time here and impressed. Wanted coffee in a real cup and almond croissant and stayed for the ambiance! Italian music playing in the background and a window seat to view the creek. Talk about relaxing ☺️ A lot of locals here so I know they've found a great spot!!!They offer breakfast and lunch, will have to try these another time. Can imagine this spot with the umbrellas on a summer morning. Give it a try ❤️“
“Went for Breakfast Food - 4/5. The meat lovers sandwich, while having decent ingredients, had a very dry texture. Bacon was crispy and the ham scramble was on the drier side. Bread was toasted plainly, which added to the dry nature of the entire sandwich. The cheese added some softness, but textural wise, it could've used some variety. Hash browns were browned well with a nice bite. Service - 4/5. You order from the counter first than they bring out the food. Quick and friendly. Value - 3/5. Breakfast sandwiches come with a good amount of filling and hash brown sides. Price is on the expensive side for what they are, being $16.50 for most. Parking - Mall Lot (Free)“
“One of my favorite places. 1st, it has the best and friendliest service of anywhere in town! The food never disappoints. I like to go earlier in the evening before it gets too crowded and noisy. I don’t like to eat a meal with a friend when it’s too loud to have a conversation. Would recommend this place for great service and food!“
“Such a peaceful dining experience, I always enjoy coming here for lunch on a sunny day when I am in town. A little expensive but everything is high quality and delicious. Gorgeous gardens to walk around, feels like you are in Europe! Definitely recommend the salmon salad. There is a parking lot with ample amount of parking spots. I always make a reservation ahead of time.“
“As an update, it's worth calling out how much the current owners have improved this shop. It's cleaner, brighter, the service is fast, etc. They clearly care and are putting in lots of effort and attention. It's always had good beans and coffee, but everything else is just better now. Top notch place, check it out!“
“Menlo Park is a really up and coming strip of restaurants and cafes south of SF. Andytown is a coffee roaster from SF that opened up in Menlo Park. It’s a really nicely designed space, with an elaborate ceiling crafted with curved wood beams and lights. The coffee is solid. I tried their house special “The Original Bird”, which has espresso on ice, soda water, topped with a house made whipped cream. It’s cool and refreshing, just enough sweetness. I also tried some of their “Wind & Sea Blend” drip coffee, which is pretty good for a drip stored in a big container. They don’t have pour over which was a mild surprise.I also tried their breakfast sandwich, which is thick toasted bread with ham, bacon, and an egg with runny yolk. It’s a bit oily and messy, but overall another solid menu item.Indoors, they have a communal table with 4 stools and a curved bench for around 4-6 indoors and another 4 tables or so outside. When it gets busy there would probably not be anywhere to sit. It’s a nice spot, always great to find another quality coffee roaster with a store front.“
“I loved the atmosphere! Comfortable couches, electric outlets, the piano! Food is alright: the salmon pasta was huge and the salmon yummy, the BLT sandwich had over fried bacon that was hard to chew, the pastry tasted good but was cold and a bit soggy. The Matcha latte used the syrup instead of actual matcha :(It's not bad for a college cafeteria but the prices are not justified“
“Our family frequented this spot for quite a few months as we take our toddler to the play gym next door on a weekly basis and we love the local family ambiance here! It's always busy Saturday mornings, but never so busy that you can't find a spot to sit and sip your coffee or chow down on your breakfast. Their coffee is good, and we're a big fan of their bagels and that's really all we could ask for! Parking is a bit iffy depending on the time of day, since we're there early for the play gym we never have much of an issue but we have seen the lot completely packed when we come out of our gym class.“
“I was pretty impressed with my visit to Royal Donut Cafe. I didn't come for their donuts, but for their breakfast and they had some of the best country fried steak I've had a in a while. The interior is very dated so that might turn some people off, but they are expanding the restaurant and taking over the space next door. They said that there is a possibility that they open for dinner in the future too. Staff were very friendly as well. Parking in the area is certainly a pain in the area, but there are paid parking lots near by. Country Fried Steak & Eggs ($15.95) was what I ordered and it was massive. I was stuffed after eating it and the steak had the perfect breading. The sausage gravy was very tasty and the hash browns were also a large portion. The eggs they also cooked really well and they don't overcook them like I accidently do at home because I love runny eggs. It is definitely worth a visit here although I have no input on their donuts or pastries personally. Their breakfast is top tier though and you get large portions. Would recommend this breakfast spot to anyone in the area.“
“Wow! This sweet little pizza shop is making amazing pizzas! Owner Matt Burr greeted us himself. He's super friendly; we felt right at home. We had a cheese pizza with 4 toppings of our choice. Perfectly topped with a really flavorful tomato sauce base. The crust though? That was what clinched it-- chewy and charred to perfection. Matt's shop is clean and comfortable with plenty of seating. Couldn't have had a better pizza experience! Just wow!“
“Love this coffee shop. It is family owned. Seems many are regular. The owner is nice. It is a small shop which serves coffee, pastries and regular american breakfast like egg and sandwich. It has indoor and outdoor seating.We ordered almost croissants and latte. Price is reasonable and it is cheaper than other coffee shops. The croissant is yummy and fluffy. The latte is good and light. Will visit again and try the sandwich.“
“I've been having breakfast at Peter's Café for more than 10 years. Service is always good. Food is always good. Portions are substantial. They have an extensive menu and a mind case I can order a hamburger for breakfast highly recommend as a place to go for breakfast or lunch. They are not open for dinner.“
“This cafe is soooooooo good! It's a typical menu, but their food is so flavorful! Their potatoes are seasoned so well. My favorite is their oatmeal pancakes since I've never had oatmeal pancakes anywhere else... but here... Their service is amazing too. I got to-go for the first time since I usually like eating on site since it's located at Burlingame Ave and it's a good brunch place especially on hot days. Our usual server Laura was soooo sweet & accomodating. She was on top with asking us with our needs even with to-go orders! This cafe is for sure a go-to spot for me.“
“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.“
“Rated this place five stars because it’s really the best no-nonsense brunch place I’ve been to in the Bay Area. The wait is short, the menu has amazing options, price is reasonable, and the food is of high quality and well presented. Sure, it’s not your typical elevated, extremely instagrammable type of brunch, but I prefer this to long waits and overpriced meals at other places.I’ve tried many of their toasts and croffles and they’re all phenomenal. Other favorites include the Denver omelette and ham&cheese crepe. The lattes are also great, with emerald matcha being my favourite!“
“Bagels are tasty but small and expensive. The lox was good enough but again the sandwich was pricey for the amount of bagel and lox you’re getting. It’s the only bagel spot around so it’s got us hooked there. Two bagels (only one lox) cost me $16 and change.“
“What a fantastic find and worth a visit! The ambiance is simple, very clean and incredibly friendly. The food is amazing we all had completely different dishes from pancakes to lunch to Bulgogi, all so impressive. Our meal was topped off with complimentary watermelon and grape dessert, what a wonderful touch. I haven't seen this special kind of service in the bay at a cafe. Excellent food and service!“
“Fantastic latte prepared and served up by the owner. Loved the laid back vibe of the place. Life slowed down when I went in. I was not rushed to order, the owner was not rushed in preparing my coffee, and I took time to indulge in every amazing sip amongst other laid back patrons.Also, great downtown location. I was visiting, but I wish I lived in San Mateo so I could frequent this place regularly. If you find yourself there don't miss it. If you are commuting through, jump off the train and walk over. Definitely worth it!“
“Small Cute local spot that offers delightful freshly made donuts and breakfast fare. Limited seating both indoor and outdoor covered patio. Has own private lot parking. Takes credit cards. Come in, line up, give your order first, and then grab a number and find seating. Cute and yummy eats. Friendly staff. Popular for take out donut orders! Definitely glad it was recommended to us as first timers. Definite recommend, as well!“
“A great BYO Asian bowl spot on Stanford campus! The place is pretty popular with students, so there tends to be a line around lunchtime. Bowls are around $12, all meats are the same price. There is no seating inside, just grab and go, but there are some nice seating areas right outside.I had a salad bowl with half tocino and half panko chicken. Loved the texture and flavor of both meats, and the variety and amount of vegetables I got in my bowl. The tocino pork had a great sweet and savory flavor and the panko chicken was crispy and tender.Topped it off with the sriracha mayo sauce.Would definitely return to try their other protein options!“
“This is an excellent spot where breakfast is always excellent! This is the only place where I can order grits that are perfectly cooked and exactly how I remember them! I found this hidden spot when ordering on Door Dash; although I had lived in SSF for years and did not know about this hidden gem! Highly recommend! I will be ordering lunch soon as I am sure it will be just as good.“
“Due to the rainstorm, I didn't want to go very far for food and opted for the nearby cafe. The Café was open and pretty much empty (understandable because I'm sure most people were working from home instead of trying to drive into work). I ordered the croissant and a banana nut muffin. The muffin, you can request to be warmed which I opted for. The egg, cheese, and bacon croissant was delicious, and I would order again. But I am curious about the other items on their menu, especially when it comes to the latter half of the day. There was a lasagne on there that I'm super curious about.“
“Super cute cafe, comfortable seats, tasty coffee & treats, very friendly staff! They can also make any of their drink menu with decaf coffee- perfect for those who aren’t able to indulge with full strength coffee but want to have a taste! I’m so excited to have a fun cafe in the neighborhood!“
“I work upstairs and this cafe has everything you could possibly want and need. Breakfast foods, coffee, boba, sandwiches, and desserts. Service is always quick and the ladies who work there are extremely nice. The mochi muffins are AMAZING. The chicken pesto is my favorite. You can't go wrong with any of the smoothies, boba, or coffee. Boba is a bit on the sweet side so I always ask for less sugar and they're able to accommodate me. So happy to have them in the building!“
“Cute coffee shop, right along the burlingame bayfront and across from the Meta VR offices! It's a great location. They have a nice coffee selection and their avocado toast was super-delish too. Love the seating, with plenty of chargepoints available if you wanna sit and work while enjoying great views. 100% recommend!“
“The service is amazing! They are friendly and personable! Every time I come in, they greet me with a friendly hello. The food is amazing, especially their chicken-fried steak. They also make great lattes! I highly recommend Breakers Cafe!!“
“We have dined in the Cafe almost since the day it opened. Through the years they have consistently exceed our expectations by providing an exceptional dining experience especially for special occations. I live around 200 miles from the resturant and always make it a destination when visiting my family in the area.“
“Absolutely adore this place! From the delightful staff, delectable food, to the charming atmosphere, it's a complete package!Plus, their mimosas are unparalleled, even for someone like me who doesn't usually indulge. I've been a loyal patron since day one, and my go-to dish has to be their breakfast tacos! ?“
“This little cafe is so cute . It's directly In front of Redwood City caltrain and there's other stores around which makes your shopping convenient. But the staff are super friendly food is amazing portions are well sized if you need a little home cooked bite to eat I'd recommend Franklin's they also have outdoor seating for sunny days as well. It's a good little hole in the wall“
“I found Cafe 2k the other day and I'm glad I did. Located at 2000 Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo in an office complex. They have plenty of great choices for breakfast and lunch. There was a line at lunch but it moved pretty fast. I recommend Cafe 2k.“
“World class! Just ate lunch here and from service to presentation to taste! 5 stars across the board! I highly recommend it! We had an omelette and a chicken sandwich and it looks identical to the pictures on the website. That rarely if ever happens. We love close by and will be coming all the time.“
“There is no Cafe right now just a snack bar upstairs where you can buy candy chips sodas water and other snacks. Also computers and books upstairs on the upper level floor. Mostly gifts, books and clothing on the ground floor. School supplies and discount items on the mezzanine level and the ground floor is textbooks, Diploma Frames and medical goggles. They definitely have some nice stuff. A fifth star could be made available if they working Cafe was serving coffee upstairs. Okay Dave?“
“I love Coupa Cafe’s iced latte! I think their latte is the world best! Strong and aromatic coffee. It makes me feel happy.Pastries are also good. The only thing I want to tell is all the menus are expensive… If it were a little cheaper I would eat it every day.Besides, their waffle with lots of fruits is crispy and tastes good! Their boba is not good because it is not chewy “
“A nice neighborhood breakfast place. I wanted something homey and this fit the bill. We were greeted at the door and they arranged a table for 5. We requested coffee and after a little while, we ordered food. We ordered an eggs benedict, eggs with ham and bread, blueberry pancakes and corned beef hash with eggs, with side of hashbrowns. We all liked the hash browns, it was crispy. The other food was fine and we filled up. Service was nice and they checked when we needed coffee refills.“
“Great place, easy to get to, and a beloved favorite in Menlo Park. Full of students - Stanford and High School too, lots of students are wait staff.... And come back for years as workers and food-lovers Beautiful large outside patio, with umbrellas. Also limited indoor seating. Get in line to go to the counter and order, take your number and get your seat. Not sure what to get, ask the friendly counter person, they will help you choose... Take a look around - Keplers Book Store is next door also a local favorite. Great food, lots of variety, salads, pasta, desserts, get a tasty cookie and relax. Liquids? Great coffee, and loads of other selections like Beer, Wine It's on El Camino Real... and CalTrain has a station / parking lot behind the collection of stores. There's Parking Lot underneath the complex, because street parking can be difficult. Live Music played some nights, that's great fun but get there early. Go see, you'll love it.“
“Bringing authentic frenchness in California is a huge achievement, Mademoiselle Collette nailed it! From outstanding croissants that could challenge many places in France to the excellent croque madame for a great brunch, and of course the amazing fine patisseries are a must..... The place is charming, bringing a good souvenir of so many French places.....“
“Very tasty boba, well made with great portions.The employees were very nice. Not very much sitting or standing room available. Will have to sit outside somewhere around the public seating closer to parking area. You will likely need to order at the kiosk that does not take cash.“
“There's a number of Taiwanese dessert chains these days including Meets Fresh. We now have a more mom & pop shop establishment in Foster City. Sweethoney seems to be new to the mix but absolutely necessary in this plaza.Didn't checkout more than the coconut milk jelly as takeout. Oh my god, this thing is actually a coconut. It comes out in a carved, hollowed out coconut with its flesh ground and mixed in with milk and jelly. Absolutely delicious. If you're even remotely enjoy coconut flavor, this is it.Will return to check out more things.Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza.“
“It's a small cafe in the Stanford medical building. I don't think you come here for gourmet food or anything. You come here if you're a patient and hungry or if you're medical staff in need of breakfast or lunch.I've stopped here a few times after some of my medical visits to Stanford. It's clean and while they have gotten rid of most seating due to Covid there are still some seating spots along the wall. And you can sit outside.Their scones are okay. I've gotten blueberry and cranberry and I think the blueberry one tastes better. I'm usually starving when I come here though so it's fine.They also have a breakfast sandwich all day but I haven't tried it yet. There's also some grab n go sandwiches and drinks too.Their mocha is not bad although they do charge extra $0.50 for decaf.“
“I used to go to Peet's on Laurel St. all the time, but they have competition! Groovy Goose is a new coffee spot in San Carlos, and their lattes are wonderful! Really good. The staff is young and friendly too. They could use a few more tables, but I'm happy to go and pick up a latte any day. They could also expand their pastry selection, but - don't tell Peet's - as for coffee, probably the best in San Carlos! I recommend.“
