“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.“

“A very low key, casual afternoon tea spot. Did the afternoon tea for 3 ($75, $100 after tax & tip) here!Comes with 2 pots of tea, salad, 3 scones, 3 types of sandwiches sliced into triangles, 3 madeleines and cookies.The sandwiches were delicious (we tried the tuna, egg, and chicken salad sandwich) and filling. Friendly staff :)“
“I was at Little Luca next door when I saw this place. I saw the pictures on the storefront window and decided to check it out. They had a great selection of donuts as well as some cronuts. This was the first time seeing cronut holes so I decided to try them and they were delicious! The lady was very friendly as well!“
“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 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.“
“I walked around after Mediterranean dinner hoping to find some decent coffee....good sipping expresso...because it's late I only asked for a single!Yummmm...I haven't sipped a coffee so good since maybe Cafe Treiste in the day.The 'piece de resistance' was an amazing lemon tartlett!I'm swooning here!By the way it's 8pm!“
“Love this place, food is amazing, atmosphere is great. But today our table was refused on time service thanks to Anna Marie ( I know what happened there). Special gratitude for Louie, who tried his best and fixed the situation. I have never seen a professional who was as dedicated as him at the workplace. Four stars only because of Anne.“
“This place has a cute and cozy vibe! We tried the berry brulee toast and matcha Lavender latte, both of which were excellent. This is a self service Cafe and might be slightly crowded on the weekends. I look forward to try their platters and tea selections next time! ?“
“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!“
“Self checkout menu that isn't always easy to navigate, and I thought I placed the order but it didn't process. Not their fault but had to go back in line and reorder after waiting for 10 min, oopsMatcha was decent, but didn't seem like they are focused on preparing it as some of the smaller shops do (didn't bamboo whisk for example)“
“Benjamin his the best one. In all Peet's coffee he did very nice job always I hope Peet's coffe CEO take care him because hard too found one. Work like him I give. Him more than 10 stars I went another Peet's coffe Istay like 40 minutes to get my order but with Benjamin no more lose time“
“Tpumps is always quick, and offers a large amount of taster tea that is appreciated during the line. Unfortunately there isn’t any sit down area, but their prices make up for it - esp on Tpumps Tuesday where you get a free upgrade. My favorite drink is the green tea - peach rose lemon w honey boba and light ice and sweetnessWithout light sweet the drink could be too sugary since the boba is honey boba which adds to the sugar content“
“I love Philz - i used to live across the street from one and now this is the closest one to me! I always order using the app, so the reviews about poor customer service are things I haven't experienced. I just order and pick-up and it hasn't been a problem. My orders are:1. Iced Philtered Soul - sweet/creamy (for hot days)2. Mint Mojito - sweet/creamy (for cheat days)3. Tesora or Philtered Soul - medium/medium (for cold days)Love the coffee and their breakfast burritos are pretty yummy too!“
“Have always had a good experience here.I usually order ahead as the mornings can be pretty busy but the staff are friendly.I ordered at the register today and my coupon wasn’t working in the system but the gentleman honored the drink for free and I thought that was really nice. Thank you!“
“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.“
