First time trying this spot. I decided to go through with Uber Eats and give them a shot because it is a local spot. I was not amazed by the food. It was ok. I ordered three items. One was the chicken sandwich with rye bread, they gave me white bread that did not taste amazing. I feel like they should have honored my request for rye bread, this is considering eating restrictions. Whatever, I could live with that. Not a huge deal, but still annoying. The chicken tasted overcooked and dry. It did not have any seasoning at all none. I also ordered a pesto chicken panini. The panini was small. The pesto was lacking flavor. It was decent, not bad. Not tasty either. It was edible and ok. Then my last item was the cesar salad and it was decent, not bad, but the chicken once again had no flavor. Very mid. The croutons tasted good, but the dressing was not amazing. Once again edible, but not worth ordering back. Sorry, but I expected a little more.

I wanted to like this place as the kids seem nice that work there. However, I couldn't even eat my sandwich that I paid for. The bread was not fresh, the one bite I took made my stomach hurt and left a bad taste in my mouth as it was not fresh. It's a no for me.

Great little cafe here. Like the new design in the front. Avocado toast is my fav here and sometimes hot oatmeal's! I love the merchant offers here: - free coffee on birthdays - once in a while $2 off $10+ orders

Was good one day, good old days. No it is overly crowded, music is load, screens don’t work, and hard to get work done

Ambiance is lacking for sure here. It was cooler outside. Came in at 3:30 on a Tuesday and ordered a turkey prosciutto panini on foccaccia. Sounds good, right? Well, after 20 minutes, I went in to find out why it was taking so long. Another 10 minutes and the single sandwich I ordered was ready. Now the bad news, they were out of foccaccia, so I got a Dutch crunch, which is ok except that it ended up really chewy. Then they told me my salami prosciutto sandwich was ready. My wife told them it was a turkey, prosciutto, and the lady argued with her. I had walked down the street be ause I got tired of waiting so wasn't there to show them the note that the young man had written was turkey. I tried the sandwich, and it was so salty, as you can imagine, I just threw it away. What a waste of time and money. Worst experience ever!

I arrived here for my free bday coffee. I chose the wake up call.. hold lemme try it real quick. Hmm ok ok I am feeling lil woke. It's got an espresso shot in it so it's meant to do the trick. Yeah yeah I am feeling it, not bad. I like it.

The Wild and Nutty Turkey Sandwitch holds a special place in my food pantheon.

It's been over 10 years since I've ventured a meal on Santa Cruz Avenue in Menlo Park. I was a fixture there for years when my office was on Menlo Ave. At one point, I believe I had dined at every restaurant on the main and side streets Yesterday I was getting a haircut and decided to have lunch. With so many choices I decided to start walking up the street to see what caught my fancy. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a blast from the past....the Menlo Cafe. This little hole in the wall (serious it can't be bigger than 200sft) was my go to sandwich place years ago I was surprised that the same menu was up on the wall and they still had my favorites, egg salad with cashews and tuna salad. I asked the young lady if this is the same owner and same recipe, she said yes. Unable to decide I ordered both. Did not disappoint. Same yummy taste that I remember over 10 years ago. The cashews give the creamy egg salad just the right texture and the tuna salad reminds me of my grandmas. If you are looking for a great egg salad, it's the best. I suggest having it on wheat toasted with lettuce and tomatoes.
