Amazing food at an unassuming but spectacular restaurant. Highly recommend the whole garlic appetizer, the garlic burger, and more.
Excellent food & service! So delicious!
Garlic French fries and garlic soup are cafe specialty.
Fries had no salt and staff was rude 😔
The hidden gem of downtown Gilroy. It’s known as a yummy breakfast spot but don’t overlook their lunch and dinner menu. Say hi to Margarita. She is always there serving us with a smile and her husband Diego is a fantastic Chef—serving up high quality original dishes.
Followed a garlic truck into town and wasn’t disappointed. The garlic chicken sandwich came on delicious flakey French bread and the garlic cream soup was AMAZING. The garlic was so fragrant. The soup before the sandwich made me wish for a smidgen of salt on the chicken.
My husband had the garlic burger which came fully loaded!!! The Gorgonzola mayo is funky but yummy. Garlic fries were lack luster and needed salt since they were just frozen crinkle fries with with delicious crumbled garlic n dry parm.
Lots of lighter more Mediterranean options. Atmosphere was definitely old time Greek/tuscan diner. Price was appropriate for atmosphere but the food was worth more.

It was slow in the morning although not many people. The server missed one of our dishes after a long wait so we decided to cancel that dish. Overall not good service, food was just ok and too oily. The price was fair though. But given that they don’t offer garlic soup in the morning, didn’t give us garlic omelette we have ordered, I am not sure anything special for breakfast. Very disappointed and would not come back.

Best restaurant in Gilroy! For breakfast I love the Cancun omelette, while my SO likes the pancakes. For lunch, it’s the French Dip and the Portobello burger. For dinner, the pappardelle carbonara and the cannelloni. Just YUM. Also, the side salads are huge, plus they give you a bit of fruit with breakfast and lunch—almost like they care about your health.

We stopped in town during our travels after finding the place on Bring Fido (app to find pet-friendly spots).
The smoked chicken sandwich was absolutely incredible. Of course we had to get Garlic Fries and they were amazing as well.
We sat at an outdoor table out front and service was good and friendly. So glad we found this place!

Don't let the prices deter you, this is an amazing restaurant. The menu is confusing, but their dinner entrees include a soup or salad as well as toast. (Kinda disappointed it wasn't garlic bread). The pasta is great and very fancy, and the sauces taste freshly made. The portion sizes are huge and you could definitely share one. Try the garlic vanilla ice cream for dessert (; Very Unique
