“Great 👍 🔥🔥🔥🔥😜😜🔥😜😜😜😜😜😜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Peter's Cafe is a very old and very nice place for breakfast. The atmosphere, food and service is very much like an IHOP. The service is always very efficient and friendly, and the ommlets are really good.
Service is fast if you ask for it.“

“My first introduction to brazilian food was a coxinha. I wanted to taste it before I got home, but it didn't even make it home, it was so good. I love the krispy texture outside and then the creaminess of the mixture inside, its just beautiful. And for those who don't like spice, this is the perfect amount of heat. I would have preferred to have a little spicier, but those who cannot handle heat,this is really good.
I also had their carrot cake and there corn cake. Both good.“

“todo en general desde su café hasta su comida“

“Ordered an Ethiopia Guji Uraga and it was really good. Magnitudes better than anything from Starbucks.

I don't really get the bad reviews talking about bad or tasteless coffee. Maybe most people associate coffee with burnt beans combined with tons of milk and sugar, as served in some coffeehouse chains.

Watching the beans being roasted and transfered between the storage for green beans, roasted beans and the coffee machines via tubes is also quite a show.“

“i i went to your cafe today but they said its close its only 2pm … in the flyers it said there close at 3pm .“

“Stopped in for coffee, a very kind gentleman agreed to sit with my 11.5 month old Golden Retriever outside. Nice woman behind counter said my dog was welcomed in, my dog doesn't have enough manners to go inside, yet!
Ordered an Americano, kind woman asked if I'd like an ice cube in coffee, as it was way too hot to drink. Glad she was thinking as it was perfect!! Still hot, love LOVE my HOT black coffee. Without the 1 ice cube, I would have to wait for caffeine consumption!
The other woman behind the counter was making a beautiful bowl.. not sure what it was but it looked delicious!!!! Going back this week to try !!!

The gentleman that sat with my dog volunteers with human society and he educated me on the correct walking leash for my dog and informed me of puppy classes!! Super grateful, as I just moved from Detroit!

Great restaurant to stumble upon! Highly recommend!“

“Great place and great coffee“

“Went here twice in two days while staying at the Hyatt Regency. A really cute little place that opens early and closes late. Their specialty drinks are excellent. I didnt stay for a game, but it seems like a great place for a board game night with friends.“

“Fiero Cafe is truly a hidden gem in San Mateo! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and authenticity behind everything they do. Filippo Guarino, the owner, pours his heart into every dish, and it shows. His handcrafted Italian food is nothing short of extraordinary, fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and the kind of attention to detail you only find in true Italian cooking.

I tried the catzo sandwich, and it was fantastic, perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. On top of the food, Filippo makes you feel like family, welcoming you with warmth and genuine hospitality.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in the Bay Area, Fiero Cafe is a must. Do yourself a favor and go, you’ll leave planning your next visit before you even walk out the door.“

“Great coffee, friendly service, good for plane spotting!“

“The food, AMAZING. The Nutella crepe was really light and fluffy tasting and I wouldn’t consider it as an overpowering sweetness. The decor was really cute really gave a vintage vibe. The wait was kind of long (15-20 min)but not really considering there were two workers. (I think everyone was talking about 1 person cooking all the food and 1 person serving the food and helping out in the kitchen, and yes the cook is really old, very impressive)“

“La Joya offers a truly unique flavor experience. The tortillas are made from corn, giving them that authentic, homemade touch. The meat is wonderfully seasoned, very tender, and absolutely delicious. I especially recommend the carne asada quesadillas they’re definitely the star of the show. In short, it’s an experience well worth trying.

I want to highlight the excellent customer service. The attention, kindness, and commitment make the difference. Without a doubt, an experience worth repeating.“

“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.“

“Love the indoor/patio ambience Menu selection,,,food ,,,,especially variety of bruschettas Drink selection as well,,,, mimosas,,,sangria Would like more live music“

“good food Coffey and people“

“Absolutely fantastic. Meat was super soft and flavors were on point. It looks like a small shop but everyone in the restaurant was happy with service, food and music. Chef and other workers were very kind and attentive. Couldn’t recommend this place enough to people coming to San Francisco. Most bang for your buck.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

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

“Amazing food & amazing staff!!“

“Salmon crepe, potatoes crispy. Walnut raisin French toast, six(6!) pieces. Coffee. Order at counter, brought to table. Friendly, helpful, staff. Presentation and taste excellent! And plentiful. Not noisy, easy to talk. Staff accommodating for 2 larger groups that came in, two small street tables. Service not too long, no rush. Will come back to try other items.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs“

“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.“

“Columbian food - very authentic, flavorful and hearty.“

“The ice coffee ☕ was delicious and pastries“

“I have been here many times mainly when I am craving for a doughnut or when I am in the area where I am in need of a quick bite. They have a wide selection of fresh doughnuts made daily, sandwiches, coffee, refrigerated drinks and much more. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where I never had encountered an issue during any of my visits. You can dine in at one of their tables or simply purchase for takeout if you decide to. I have to say this place is a plus, because there are little to none doughnut shops within the area. I highly recommend this place to all doughnut enthusiasts, if you need a quick snack for the morning of if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“Cute place, friendly service, nice atmosphere, great white hot chocolate.“

“OMG these are the cutest! My favorite is the Mango passion fruit eclair, one time I got it with the filling still frozen inside and it’s seriously even better 😆 I wish we can have that option haha! Anyway best wishes and thanks for the pleasant experience as usual.“

“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.“

“My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at Acova. The menu is very interesting and varied. My wife had fish and chips and I chose the beef short ribs. Both dishes were super. Our server was helpful and attentive. We appreciate the fairly low noise level so we could have a comfortable conversation. Thank you.“

“I really enjoyed my Friday morning visit around 10 a.m. There was about a 5-minute wait, a short line, and all the chairs were taken, lots of people standing around and the space was loud and crowded. I was meeting a friend, and even in the bustle we were able to have a wonderful conversation. By about 10:30, the crowd thinned out, and we found a table to enjoy not just our conversation but also some delicious coffee.

She ordered a flat white and loved it, saying it had a caramel-like taste. I had the Tahitian vanilla latte with oat milk (so good!) and an avocado toast. Next time, I’ll definitely order the avocado toast with an egg and try the miso latte the barista recommended.

The café has seating for maybe 15–20 people, either individually or paired up. Overall, a great spot, I’ll definitely be back!“

“I missed the drop off day for donating for the animals in need. Stopped by there this morning with a donation. Loved the greeting with a smile that I received when I walked in by the young man behind the counter. he was totally surprised when I handed him an envelope and explained that I had missed the drop off date. Now I know why this Cafe receives 5 stars, very friendly atmosphere. I will be back!!“

“Great friendly cafe, right on Pacifica’s beach. Lots of whale watching and hang gliders nearby. Super music on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am until 4pm.“

“They make a really good flat white & their pastries are quite delectable!🥰“

“The bagels were incredibly fresh—crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, just the way they should be. What really stood out was the wide selection of bagels and spreads. The variety of cream cheeses and other spreads is just as impressive—perfect for mixing and matching. Definitely a must-visit for any bagel lover!“

“I got a Salame Sandwich and small Mexican hot chocolate which I thought was good. I think the sitting area is decent but small with mainly bar stools. Luckily, the place wasn't crowded so sitting on the round table in the middle didn't feel squishy“

“Must try 🍽️
Berry French Toast ( Best ) 🍓
It had a chocolate filling ( tastes like Cadbury dairy milk), perfectly cooked, not too sweet and covered w strawberries.

Tomato mozzarella sandwich
Fresh , the bread was a little hard but the flavor made up for it!!
Comes with a side salad!!

Overall, the place was chill and cute. Perfect spot for a brunch. The food is a win. Totally recommend it to anyone who loves healthy drinks and yum food.“

“Corner shop with a tight, tasty menu. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo and it took me back to a simpler time. My buddy switches between that and bacon because they are both so good.

The cafe con leche is sweet and delicious treat.“

“Good for a quick bite. I like the local feel of the place but it can get very crowded, especially on the weekends so I'm glad for the outdoor tables. I like to stop by when I'm going to hang out near Ocean Beach. The food is tasty!“

“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! 😋“

“Our first time there. Good food, comfortable place.👍👍“

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

“Absolute delight to get sandwiches from Steve's Café!!Our family favorites are Pesto chicken, Tuna melt and meatballs.Love the freshly baked brownies. Our school caters from Steve's and each time quality is superb and great tasting food items. Thank you so much for serving us.“

“I got a taro milkshake with boba with my father along with a grape lemon slushy! I liked my drink and my Dad didn’t have to pay vey much! We had a great father-daughter outing there! We consider coming back next time.“

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

“Nice Brazilian Café. The juices are great.

Insane parking situation. Four spots right outside otherwise you have to make a 2 mile, 10 min detour/U-turn to the parking lot on Randolph Ave. No parking on a Tuesday afternoon so I imagine the weekends are even worse.“

“Love this place. It's been here since I was a kid. The owner is such a sweet lady and the rest of the staff are too. They always greet you with such kindness when you walk in. The food there is hella good. I love the special chicken and rice plate they have. They also serve breakfast and lunch and donuts :) plus it's right in front of a bus stop and opens at 5:30am“

“Had Breakfast here during our stay in San Mateo. Our Hotel was nearby and didn't serve breakfast, after a quick search, decided to check out this place. Glad we did, great Coffee and Food. This was the first place we visited during our trip to San Francisco. It's located in an Office Building, lots of parking. What we loved too was how everyone here knew each other. Staff were very warm and friendly. Will definitely visit again.“

“A little off the beaten path, but the journey is worth it. Jo-Anns is one of those local gems with fresh, quickly prepared foods, seasonal specials (I wish I'd ordered the pumpkin pancakes but my diet held me to the Neapolitan eggs). Free refills on coffee and a relaxed atmosphere made this the perfect place to hide from the rain while I waited for my time to head to the airport. Delicious and the staff are so friendly!“

“Nice, quiet spot where you order up front and they bring the food to you. I got the eggs benedict and it was cooked perfectly. Also I loved the hash brown as it was one crispy, delicious rectangle. Bottomless coffee and nice people. Would totally come back.“

“I had the bulletproof coffee, light roast with half and half. It is so delicious even with no sweetener. I highly recommend you stop in, the staff is super friendly and fast.“
