Just so so not good not bad
Little bit salty hmm potatoes with omelette never seen before no good
The staff was nice and the food was good. We got the surf and turf, California omelette, and the kids pancakes. The presentation was great and the food was tasty. We saw the Biscoff pancakes but it would have been too much for us. They open at 9:30 so keep that in mind. They also had dessert that looked good but we were too full. There is parking in the back.
In Palo Alto, so we decided to get some breakfast at Fambrini’s Café on a weekday. Their pancakes and French toast totally hit the spot. The pancakes were fluffy, buttery, and had just the right amount of crisp on the edges. You could tell they were made fresh and they were not the overly sweet kind.
But the French toast was next level. Thick slices, perfectly soaked and grilled to a caramelized perfection. Slight crunch on the outside, warm and custardy inside. It comes with berries and syrup, and it seriously tasted like something out of a brunch dream.
It’s a cozy little spot with friendly vibes, and the service was quick even though it was pretty packed. Definitely saving this one for weekend brunch runs. Don’t skip it if you’re in the area.
Pancakes were the only good thing on the menu
I love the salads here!

I have had catering from Fambrini’s and enjoyed it. I had heard great things and decided to give it a try at the restaurant. I like counter ordering and then sitting to wait for our food. However, the busyness of the the ordering area and crowds creates some pressure on the ordering process and we felt rushed. We tried the pear and Brie breakfast sando with the breakfast potatoes and Brie and mushroom omelette. To say both were a bit underwhelming is an understatement. Everything we ate was a bit bland. The sandwich was hot, but lacked flavor. The breakfast potatoes looked like they would be hot and full of flavor. They were served cold and lacked any seasoning.
It may be that we both ordered poorly. There did appear to be some many other things to try. For us, we would forego for breakfast and stick to the lunch menu in the future

Excellent food quality and amazing dessert selection. Parking out back. Nice ambiance, indoor and outdoor, although tables are a bit close together.

It's cute small cafe. The customer service and the food was great. We just happen to visit on a rainy day. No room inside so we seated outside. By the time the coffee drinks and food arrived outside, it was cold. We had a good time celebrating my best friend birthday. The servers were very friendly, they made sure we had everything we needed. They even put a candle on my friends delicious french toast. I would definitely go back in a better non rainy day, and hoping to get a seat inside.
Their prices are a little high, but it matches the food quality.
Highly recommend.

Stopped in for lunch on Sunday and tried their The Fab sandwich. Really enjoyed the no-fuss, quality ingredients based sandwich, especially with their in-house baked ciabatta bread. Will definitely come back for their famous brunch menus.

All the reviews regarding hygiene issues are true! I came here for breakfast without eat anything in the morning, and after left the restaurant, had upset stomach all days. Could not eat anything for the rest of the day.

Beware the portion size is huge. Order carefully. Taste is great but I couldn't finish. Typically get their bird cage sandwich and have been meaning to come here and try other things.
The service is great and the seating area is just beautiful. Highly recommend coming here if you live close by.

My friend and I visited around 1pm on a Sunday. Luckily we avoided most of the brunch crowd as there were only 3 groups ahead of us in line to order. I was very tempted by their pancakes and French toast but ended up going with their croque madame and matcha rose iced latte while my friend opted for their brie and mushroom omelette. We were seated in the one area of their outdoor patio that was missing sun coverage. My friend was squinting into the sun while we waited for our order and it was very hard trying to get any wait staff's attention to move tables as they only stopped by to drop off and take away food/drinks. We were eventually able to move to a table with nicer chairs in the shade. I really enjoyed my croque madame but probably wouldn't get the drink again. My friend also enjoyed her omelette. Will definitely be back to try their sweeter brunch offerings.
