I've had the donuts here and they are good. But I was out walking my dog a few mornings ago and wanted to go in and get a donut and a coffee. They have a sign on their door saying no animals. They also do not have anywhere to sit outside. So they did not get my business that day.

Food was average. Service was minimal, place is half empty and they rush you out then auto register you in their generic marketing. Wouldn’t take 5 seconds to answer questions as I was trying to buy additional items

The food has always been excellent and the staff friendly. They've expanded (added space for about 4 tables) since I was here last year.

Was looking for an American breakfast and with surprise I found amazing amalgam of many cuisines. Portions are tasteful and sufficient! Very friendly staff! Definately coming back next time I am in the town!Sitting is proper diner style plus some regular tables. Selection of coffees and donuts are great too!

I’ve been there in person a few times and they seem to do OK. however, whenever I order delivery, they just don’t really seem to care about the quality or portions of the food. Because they don’t need to be accountable? who knows?The first time was for a holiday morning breakfast and my scramble was fine but the Nutella waffle I ordered for my kid was just a big huge mess. Completely soggy, and it was all incorporated into each other. They need to take heed of how other restaurants will put the Nutella and whip cream off to the side so that it doesn’t saturate your waffle for deliveryRecently, same thing, got myself a nice breakfast, which was OK but a little on the skimpy side with the potatoes which is unusual. Not bad though. However, the problem arises with the blueberry pancake I ordered for my kid, it arrives with no butter on the side no syrup. And then the look of disgust on my kids face when they take their first bite. So I take a bite and low and behold the blueberry pancake also has cinnamon and banana. Which my kid absolutely can’t stand. And to put the icing on the cake when cutting the pancake in half we quickly discovered that the entire center was completely raw pancake batter.There’s plenty of other dives to go to the care about the quality of their food. I’m glad everybody’s so impressed with this place but I think we’ve gone for the last time. The donuts are OK but the place next to Burlingame train station is better.

You want to talk about good? Foods doesn't get better, people don't get nicer, and atmosphere doesn't get any more classic than this! Go get a scramble and a donut, you won't regret it! (Not pictured, the four donut holes that didn't last long) ?

Parking: There's lots of parking all around!

They make the best cinnamon cake doughnuts! I visit from London at least once every few years and always head here for coffee and doughnuts.

I got the classic eggs Benedict. So so yummy. The pancake was the best I've ever had. Get the country potatoes (vs the hashbrowns); they have more flavor. Good service and reasonable prices.

The food and service was really good. I got the Mexican omelet with country style potatos and my wife got the Delight Special with a waffle. They have a nice old school diner vibe to them that we really enjoyed. I was gonna get a donut, but was too full from breakfast. Really hit the spot! $36 before tip. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast if your looking for something. Probably gonna go back to this area for dinner, there is a lot of options and it just feels like a cool area of town.

This is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch places to eat. Classic, simple, and tasty comfort food. This place serve omelets, Benedict, scrambled eggs, sandwiches, pancakes, burgers and of course DOUNUT. The services here are lovely, very nice people and positive. The atmosphere is classic dinner look, open kitchen, with beautiful and tasty dounut shelf for you to pick. This place is not only taste good but affordable too. Go give it a try!

I love small venues and this was amazing! The food is excellent and the service is great. The best omelette (ham/cheese/veggies/jalapenos) I've had in years and I travel a lot!!!!! 5* omelette name was FIRE & SMOKE and I substituted ham instead of Cajun
