The owners are true Town folks who provide space for great local caterers, artisans, and dog lovers alike. This spot may be off the beaten path, but I assure you, it’s a gem worth the trek!“

“very excellent coffee ☕☕☕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 recommended to anyone.“

“Best breakfast sandwich in the area, and best prices too!!
Today’s special was chorizo and I was thrilled they let me add chorizo as the meat option to the breakfast croissant.
This was the best tasting breakfast sandwich, truly cooked and assembled to perfection, and the service is friendliest in the town for sure. Thanks Dimond cafe!!“

“Super awesome place! Was traveling out of town and I got the prosciutto toast with arugula and caramelized onions, and it was great!

The best part was how awesome the staff was with my son. He wanted a mango and peach smoothie which wasn’t on the menu, and they went out of their way to help us customize it into something he would actually like and he loved it.

We’ll definitely go again.“

“I was driving by when I saw a big sign that said MEXICAN FOOD BREAKFAST so you know I whipped right around.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted red or green chilaquiles so they gave them to be divorciado— half and half. I also got a lovely vanilla iced coffee which ended up being HUGE— I took half home and put it in the fridge for tomorrow.

Everything was sooooo flavorful and the place is nice and cute and clean and the owner Samuel was so kind and patient. I felt like I got a lot of value for the amount I paid.

I’ll definitely be back!“

“I just went to sujues a few days back .I order my normal small or large iced Carmel macchiato with whip cream and extra Carmel .it is one of my favorite drinks when I go there .The people are kind at the cashier area .I sometimes tip here n there because I like there place .they have the food and snacks behind the glass which I can see clearly .There prices are a lil high but it's the bay area Ca .I might go back again tomorrow for another drink. Small is $5.75 and a large is $6.92.I wish they were only $4-$5 but that's the price we pay for the best weather state in America and in the west coast .“

“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“It's basically a storefront at a small business park that serves Mediterranean food and a few American-style items too. The food is fresh and flavorful. However, there is no indoor seating, so it's either a take-out option or there are a few tables and chairs available under a sun sail in the parking lot.“

“I wanted to try everything here! Had breakfast pastries, miso chicken bowl, desserts, and lattes and mochas on numerous occasions during my trip to the area. All were wonderful and tasted homemade. Egg tart was so smooth, flavorful, and not rubbery. I want to know their secret to this! My other favorite item is the walnut chocolate chip cookie. Omg so decadent!“

“7.1/10 Sausage and Egg breakfast sandwich $9.50

A lot of bagel places have breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Their sandwiches are nothing special and overpriced like every other place

It's worth more to find a Noahs Bagels and get something with more in the bagel or sandwich for about the same price or a lil more

I wont be back here for any breakfast sandwich. They had a lot of options for shmears it probably would've been better just to get a bagel“

“Great family-owned business for doughnuts! Try the giant doughnut holes or mini sized cinnamon buns and apple fritters. This shop is idea when it's your turn to bring a couple of dozen or two to the office or buffet. To have the best choices and beat the lines, come early. But here's the best kept secret: Call a couple of days earlier to place your order. Then swing by to pay and pickup your boxed treats. The smiles and joy that comes when serving Tommy's doughnuts - priceless!“

“i like it here. good food, great corn dogs! sandwiches kind of lack meat tho, and last time i got extra meat there was still not a lot. i felt cheated out of my money.
cheese foam is salty, didnt expect that because i always buy from happy lemon lollll. the drinks are ok
service is fine. easy and straight forward
anyways, the bacon egg and cheese croissant is really eh. its not the best… the mochi nut is ok, and the prices are… i guess its whats considered average now.“

“Customer service is always welcoming, if you're social there's always a good conversation waiting or if you want to work with headphones on that's an option. The coffee or tea is great along with good food choices.“

“It’s a Beautiful place the guys very Friendly and Nice costumer Service the Best Boba In the Bay Area. We loved and recommend ;they have a lot of flavors every fruit it’s Natural and the tapiocas so good 😊“

“I had The Combo Pho and took a Combo Bahn Mi to go.. Both very good and the bread for the bahn Mi was fresh. Also had a Thai Tea very good!“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

“I started going here like 4 months ago and I cannot stop coming back their sandwiches are so fresh and they have the softest rolls. I don't know what they put on it but it is very delicious and flavorful. Their service is very fast I go there all my lunch break and it doesn't take longer than 5 minutes. The staff is also very polite.“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“8-Twelve is a true neighborhood gem. It is the kind of place where kids can grab a snack and a fun drink for a reasonable price, and then just relax after school. Even though it is not as close to the middle or high school as some of the other hangouts, it has become one of our favorites.

I appreciate that it has lasted the test of time and I hope it continues to thrive. One of the best parts is that they offer non-caffeinated tea drinks for the kids, which is rare and so thoughtful.

8-Twelve has that welcoming vibe that makes it feel like part of the community.“

“I went to HM because i was procrastinating and sure enough when I got there I ran into my friend, Kico! I love Kico and he was eating a turkey and egg breakfast sando, which he seemed to love. We chatted for a while- HM is a great place to chat. I got a cold brew and it was great. I love Hasta Muerte!“

“I absolutely love love this local business. They are great community supporters and their snacks and drinks are a special treat. It’s our own fancy everyday coffee spot.“

“t The food is fantastic. Especially easy to grab and go after work. Try a couple entrees to share. Yummy.“

“Wow!! Such a hidden gem. Loved the food, the decor, the hospitality, everything. I stay way away from this place, else would have visited often. But surely would come back.
Some places you feel the people are not just after making money, this is one of those places, love the passion put into this place.“

“Bomb. Burgers hott chicks goood foood been there lots of time great service“

“Food was good and delivered in a timely manner“

“Come for coffee stay for baked goods!“

“I enjoy their drinks here. The only complaint is they take a long time to prepare the drinks. I guess it’s takes time to make excellent tasting drinks. But it does turn me off sometimes from stopping here. Other than that the crafty lemon drinks hit the spot.“

“If you are into Ube then this is the place.“

“Pretty nice café spot, they make decent matcha lattes ( they call it green tea🫥) which i always get! There are different pastries on the counter where you order.
The cleanliness gotta be better though 💀 The service is fast and employees are nice. The prices are decent for the food and drinks🔥“
