“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.“

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.“

Ceré Tea Cafe • $

“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!“

When we came in there was an amazing aroma from the fresh baked goods and the owner was so sweet and warm ❤️. I got a bowl and being someone that tries to avoid added sugar and processed foods, I was well accommodated. There was also scripture cards on one of the tables that I absolutely loved! Overall I would definitely recommend and I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.“

The Apron Cafe •
1699 Old Bayshore Hwy, Burlingame - 10.03 miles

“⭐️Found this gem during a layover in San Francisco literally a 2 minute walk from my hotel, and I’m so glad I stumbled onto it. From the second I walked in, the service was outstanding. The manager was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive, the kind of hospitality that actually makes your day better, not just polite small talk.

⭐️What really stood out was when she noticed I was struggling to figure out how to get to the nearest market. Without hesitation, she offered to drive me there herself so I wouldn’t have to pay for an Uber. That kind of genuine generosity is rare, and it turned a simple coffee stop into one of the highlights of my trip.

⭐️The food was immaculate fresh, well presented, and clearly made with care. I also loved that they have outdoor seating with proper tables, perfect for enjoying your coffee in the sun or people-watching for a bit. The whole space was spotless, clean and tidy from the counters to the restrooms, which says a lot about how the place is run.

⭐️The atmosphere overall was relaxed but polished the kind of spot you’d want to return to even if you didn’t have a flight to catch. If you’re ever passing through SF, even just for a layover like me, this place is 100% worth the short walk. Highly recommend!😍❤️“

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. 👌“
