50 Best Cafes near Foster City

“Stoped by for a fresh breakfast to start the day. I was promptly greeted and helped to order an omelette. I dined in and enjoyed the breakfast. It’s nice to be able to get freshly prepared food close to the hotel to start the day out. I’m looking forward to trying out lunch next time in town.“

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)“

“We stopped by SweetHoney Dessert to try their Hong Kong-style desserts, and they have a great variety to choose from. There are so many options with grass jelly, sago, coconut milk, fresh fruit, and ice cream, making it easy to find something you'll enjoy.
We tried a few different desserts, and they were all refreshing and not overly sweet, which we appreciated. As Vietnamese, many of the flavors felt familiar since our desserts also use coconut milk, jelly, and similar ingredients.
While everything was good and enjoyable, nothing really stood out as particularly unique or memorable to us. It was a nice dessert spot, but not one that left us craving another visit right away.“

“Great healthy food and great service 😍😍“

“It was my first time visiting, and the atmosphere was great. Although the menu isn't huge, there's still a nice variety of options.
The crab was particularly impressive—sweet, fresh, and perfectly firm. The fried shrimp was delicious, and the strawberry cream croissant was a must-try.“

“Fiero Cafe is a great spot for a casual but satisfying meal. The pasta here is authentic and delicious — the bolognese especially stands out, rich and full of flavor. Portions are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They also serve omelets, which make a nice lighter option if you’re not in the mood for pasta. Overall, a cozy place with tasty, well-made dishes that feel genuinely Italian.“

“The food there is very amazing!! Been going there for 2 years now! Met the owner Teresa since 2 years too! She's very nice and has wonderful passion for the sandwich business! As always, keep up the wonderful work!“

“Love this place!! Randomly chose this place (good gôogle reviews and in the neighborhood) to meet a friend for a hot drink. Was a little noshy, Got tempted by the menu and ordered the breakfast burrito, friend ordered avocado toast. Food was super delicious and garnished nicely. Made friends w the enthusiastic and gregarious staff. Enjoyed everything about this place! all the small touches, the awesome art on the wall and the welcoming comfy atmosphere made it a great first impression. Thanks Chris and "Papa" for some scrumptious food, perfection in a Mexican cocoa, and for making us feel like we came to exactly the right place. 😃😉☺️... I'm definitely gonna try the empanadas next time.!!!!“

“This cafe is such a little gem on the first floor of a beautiful office building. You can order drinks/food and enjoy them outdoor on the steps by the water and trees or spend the day working inside of the cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Plenty of room and tables to work and study.

No need to break up your work time because they serve hot meals and there is such a beautiful space right outside to get fresh air.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“Amazing staff, sandwiches, and specials. Christine runs it and she's a great person. You'll love Yay!“

“was an amazing vibes lovely crew coffee was so good!“

“I’m a huge fan of dirty chai lattes and I’m always searching for who has the best. The dirty chai at Antigua is definitely near the top of the list for me. Not too sweet and not too spicy which is the way I like them. Will def be back for the chai. Pastries were also delicious. Haven’t tried the food yet but looks like it would be amazing.“

“If you’re trying their signature Miso Caramel Latte, may I recommend going with the iced latte option? While the hot latte is still good, the umami-ness of miso and the contrast of the flavors is much more pronounced in the iced latte version.“

“Ordered a mocha to go and it was well made. There was plenty of street parking out front and seating inside and outside. Staff were friendly and not was clean inside. Everything looks so delicious and well made. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Perfect place to start your morning at.“

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“Cafe Zoë is an incredible little community space that serves delicious beverages, food and entertainment. Kathleen, Zoë and the staff are truly amazing and provide great service. They are community minded and love how they support the arts as well.“

“I stopped by Oklava in Palo Alto for tea and baklava, and it was a wonderful experience. The tea was fresh and flavorful, and the baklava was absolutely delicious—perfectly sweet, fresh, and authentic. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy a traditional treat. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Banana Foster French toast and their freshly squeezed orange juice.“

“Great food and super friendly staff. We tried avocado toast and mocha. Turned out that they messed up our mocha and gave us a latte. They were extremely busy on a long weekend so I didn’t bother to ask them to fix it. They would have definitely fixed my order but I was okay with a latte too!“

“Delicioso todos. Really enjoyed service and the food.“

“One of the best up-and-coming pizzas in the bay. Plain cheese has always been great and I recently got the "Pub Grub" pizza lab special that had buffalo cauliflower and a house made ranch sauce, probably the best speciality pizza I've ever had.“

“Mi fermo spesso da Cafe Borrone per un caffè e una brioche, ma non riesco a trovare il locale nell’app Coverflex: accettate i buoni pasto?“

“I was just looking for a place with quick service and a really good latte, and Atlas Bakery & More completely delivered. It’s inside a corporate building, which honestly made the whole thing feel even more unexpected. I grabbed my coffee and sat outside in their sunny courtyard with the fountains, little benches, and umbrellas, and it ended up being such a peaceful part of my morning. A very charming little hidden gem.“

“Amazing neighborhood cafe. It's cozy, unassuming and well situated in a cute Plaza in midtown Palo Alto. The breakfast items are all delicious and well prepared, they roast their beans in house in a corner of the cafe and you may get lucky to be there while they do it, great aroma and a nice touch.

The place is run by a wonderful couple, they welcome their usual guests by name and treat the newcomers with much warmth and happiness. It is my happy place to go to go to start my day.“

“Awesome place to enjoy good coffee, pastries and cosy atmosphere!“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“Great food and love the outside seating. so quant and cozy. Chinese chicken salad is delicious. very friendly staff. I only wish they had the nutrition info next to the items on the menu for those of is that like to keep track.“

“This is a breakfast and lunch spot with authentic Brazilian food. Only outdoor seating but it is a really nice outdoor area. Order at the counter and the food is delivered to the table. This is usually my 1st stop when I land at SFO. Large portions and daily specials.“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“I had to stop by Royal Donut Cafe because of all of the great reviews I saw on Yelp! And I must say that I wasn't disappointed at all! The staff was awesome! From the cashier, to the cooks, and the server. And I even got a chance to meet the owner, Terri, who has taken over the business for the past 15 years! Definitely going to be a regular here! I ordered the vegetarian omelet! 😋“

“I come to this place almost everyday, the staff is friendly and the coffee is good! Every Sunday, they make delicious breakfast burritos, tacos and pupusas until 11am. They are delicious! This Cafe is hands down one of my favorite local places to buy my snacks and coffee.“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“

“All time favorite cafe latte spot. With waffle & strawberries. At 7:30am!“

“last time i was here was 2006, then food unremarkable as reason
I went was the company.

a few days I went there & asked the waitress what to order, a Mx omelette! It was phenomenal though costly.
Also the Pancakes were exceptional.

Price was not bargain though, but the food was much better than expected“

“Incredibly friendly atmosphere. Perfect for studying and sipping on a warm drink. Staff is friendly and genuine. Food is served in HUGE portions and you can’t beat the price. Have been here countless times!“

“I went into Steve’s Cafe & Catering alone and honestly wasn’t even sure what to order at first. The staff immediately made the experience comfortable by asking thoughtful questions about what I liked and helping guide me toward the Parmesan chicken sandwich — which ended up being incredible.

It was fresh, flavorful, and so good that my girlfriend even ate vegetables she normally doesn’t enjoy. Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt welcoming and supportive, especially as a new customer. You can tell they genuinely care about helping people have a good experience, not just making a sale. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

By the way, the brownies made my girlfriends eyes roll hehehe, I highly recommend Steve's Cafe & Catering“

“One of the best kept locals secrets in this part of town, the breakfast burritos are awesome and the sandwiches are delicious! It’s worth stopping in and checking it out! The owner is very kind and understands the value of quality service and customer relationships! You’re always treated with kindness and welcomed with a genuine smile!“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“Great place for Asian drinks!“

“Came here one morning after passing it the other day. It was not busy as it was when I first passed by it. The service was quick and easy. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Honestly it was a huge portion of food. The chicken was nice and crispy. Seasoned well and the waffle was really good. The gravy was a nice touch and good but I Honestly did not finish it. Everything was so delicious and the coffee was also great. Great atmosphere bomb food and exceptional service. 👌“

“Great food and friendly folks. We love this place! Try the crab cakes eggs Benedict. Yumm“

“I got the Manila specialty drink (ube drink). Very interesting combination of flavors. Compared to the equivalent ube boba order, this one has a more mature flavor profile thanks to the shot of espresso. ⚠️Warning: it will make your tongue purple.

I’d say the drinks are a notch too pricey for me to come here regularly.“

“Hands down the best Matcha in the area. Beautiful velvety texture, rich dense taste with perfect balance of sweetness/bitterness. Great steady caffeine high, pretty strong (I only get half a shot here). Their einspanner and sesame syrup are also chef's kiss 😚🤌

Nice clean open air store as well. I like that you can order ahead.

I give 4/5 stars for 2 reasons that keep me from going there more often:
- It doesnt open until 10am. I would love to see them open earlier! 10 is too late to wait for a caffeine fix, it kills me.
- No decaf options. Maybe consider stocking decaf espresso for those who want to enjoy your drinks later in the morning or afternoon.

Thanks for all you do!“

“The book store was great!!“
