A hidden gem! The waffle platters ate the best of everything. You get sweet & savory all in one plate. There is a small area of outdoor seating and plenary of indoor seating as well. Street parking only, but it’s free.
Very cute brunch place! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have a fun eclectic menu with many savory and sweet options. Highly recommend the tea set for 2 it's very customizable with more than enough food for two.
It’s a small place with tasty sandwiches, toasts and waffles, with freshly made ingredients, they have kids menu, avacado toast was best, variety of drinks to match
A cute and quiet busy cafe in the downtown Burlingame. Very insta-worthy! Food quality is amazing. Portion size is good. Wide variety of options on the menu. Service is fast and friendly. Be prepared to stand in a queue and wait for 5-10 minutes depending upon how busy it is. Siting area both indoors and outdoors. Reservation only for events. Worth a visit!
The vibes of this cafe are so adorable, and all of the food is delicious. The inside is so cute, with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu is amazing, with many flavors of avocado toast and waffles. My personal favorite is the mango tajin avocado toast. Their drink menu is also phenomenal, with so many flavors of matcha, coffee, and teas. The staff is so kind and helpful, food comes quickly, and ordering is a breeze! A bit pricey, but so worth it.
Food is really good, service is quick and the atmosphere is immaculate. I got the yogurt and peach waffles and the strawberry green iced tea. The waffles were delicious and the peaches fresh, the ice tea was perfectly sweet and yummy 😋
We decided to check out this spot on a Monday afternoon when more traditional breakfast places were already closing. It more than fit the bill! First off, the food was excellent. A good variety of menu options with all quality fresh ingredients. I often hesitate when it comes to breakfast toasts because I've gotten too many flavorless generic offerings. Not so here! I had the tomato+mozzarella toast. It comes on lovely thick batard bread (don't know what that means but it's tasty) with tomato, mozzarella balls, avocado and basil. For extra flavor they added salt and pepper and vinaigrette. My wife had the avocado and egg toast with the same kind of bread, soft-boiled eggs, chili, and paprika. She said it was very tasty. We also split an order of mini beignets with chocolate sauce. They were soft and doughy and they were not drenched in confectioners sugar, which was a point in their favor. The chocolate sauce was a nice addition, although the beignets were good all by themselves. Next, the place offers counter service, and they deliver to the table. The attendant was friendly and offered an alternative when they didn't have decaf drip coffee. The wait was just a few minutes. My Americano was fine. Good coffee flavor and not too week. My wife enjoyed her decaf latte also. We sat on the back patio to soak up the sunshine. It was a nice setting and dog friendly. There was also ample seating inside at the front counter area, in the middle and also one table inside before opening into the patio. A very nice experience all around
So nice place for breakfast 💕 We love fresh juicy and juicy was perfect!!! Very healthy food and tasty at the same time! A wide choice in the menu and affordable prices. Tasty coffee, but not very tasty matcha... I really liked that there are experiments and combine the flavors of fruit and yogurt with traditional dishes! We will come back here for sure!
Cute breakfast and brunch cafeteria located in San Carlos. They have a large and innovative selection of toasts and waffles. We stopped by for a weekend brunch and my children loved the Churro Waffles and the Rainbow Waffles that they ordered. Relaxed ambience, lots of customers but somehow not pound or noisy. Will certainly come back again !
Came here on a Wednesday about noon, very casual atmosphere great for a quick bite. I had a delicious mango matcha latte and a fig prosciutto toast, both were amazing. We sat outside where you can either choose shady or sunny tables depending on where the sun is at that time, but there's also plenty of indoor seating. Recommend!
