Super delicious food! Hospitable servers, and a fun environment with an Instagram picture worthy interior. They’re great representatives for Peruvian food. Makes for an awesome night in SF! Loved this placeTry their pulpo anticucho for a delicious and well portioned octopus tentacle with potatoes, or go straight Peruvian with their fresh ceviche. Honestly can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.

We were walking around Pleasanton and saw crepes and espresso. So glad we stopped in! The Galletes remind me of Brittany bc it's made with buckwheat. Our daughter got sweet mixed berry crepe and was silent to the last bite. The staff is friendly and professional.

Bocado is a place I immediately fell in love with! It has a cozy but fresh atmosphere and staff are super friendly and helpful! The food is PHENOMENAL! Literally to die for. I'll be thinking about how great my Chicken Pesto and Tiramisu (pictured) crepes were forever! The plating and presentation was also gorgeous and clean. I highly recommend!

The best crepes I’ve ever had! Whether you go savory or sweet, each dish is so well balanced in flavor and the quality of the crepe itself is amazing, warm and just the right amount of softness! This is my favorite brunch spot and number 1 go-to in the area. They also have the most addicting red pepper tomato soup which I highly recommend you try even if you don’t like tomato soup in general, I promise it won’t disappoint! The staff is also very friendly and provide great service.PS. Check the front for a menu of monthly rotating crepe flavors created by the owner himself!

Enjoyed a birthday ? lunch here. We enjoyed savory Crepes and chose our own fillings. One egg, cheddar and spinach and one turkey, cheddar and tomato. Both were gluten free and delicious. The side salad and fruit was fresh and good quality. The inside seating is very comfortable and there is plenty of free on street parking as well as a lot behind the building. Staff was very friendly.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free crepes

My wife were in the area getting the car serviced and wanted a place to grab a leisurely breakfast. The place was a good choice. Although I would say it's not a place for a large group, or if you are in a hurry. They make crepes to order, and that takes time. The food was delicious. I ordered the Yorkshire, smoked salmon. With capers and cream cheese. It was savory and delicious. My wife enjoyed her California Panini, and was generous enough to share her lemon crepe with me! This was a nice find, and we will definitely go back for breakfast when we are in the area. It was a great place for the two of us to have a nice relaxed breakfast.

We stopped here for lunch and got ourselves a couple of crepes- chicken pesto and yorkish with smoked salmon. We also got their turkey sandwich. The chicken pesto crepe was amazing and worked really well with all the ingredients in it specially the flavor of pesto sauce. The sandwich was great and tasty and has become my son's favorite.. in-fact he ordered the same one for dinner next day. The yorkish crepe was ok and will skip it next time.

I loved my first visit so much, I returned with my husband and 2 friends for brunch. It was their first time coming here but unfortunately the experience this time was different and made me feel a bit embarrassed that I brought them here.First, we came on a weekend and it was incredibly packed outside and inside. A table for 4 outside was not possible since it looked like the max is 3 outside. So inside it was. There was a soccer team of kids inside w/their parents who took up most of the tables and they weren't even eating. I know they are kids but were incredibly loud and rowdy for such a small indoor space. We were able to snag a table for 4 but in the worst spot. The sun was shining directly on my friend's face b/c of the skylight and she was getting hot. She's a patient person but it was too much. We shifted the table left and right and all the ways but still, we couldn't avoid the direct sunlight. We moved our table to another spot and it was better but then the manager (I think) immediately came over to us and in a rude tone told us that we couldn't do that b/c we were blocking the way apparently, even though there was room for people to pass. My friend and I responded that the sunlight from the skylight was hitting her directly in the face and that's why we moved. He said we still couldn't be there. Every table was taken up. We were moved back to the old spot, still my friend getting hit by the sun. Eventually he asked the large soccer group if they could consolidate their tables to free up some space and we moved to a better table. While waiting for our food, I observed the manager only b/c he was talking so loud to the workers that I had to look and see who was talking like that! He seemed upset and flustered w/them, and almost shouting, "what is this drink doing here?!!?" b/c there was some random drink on the counter. I think he was quite unprofessional in his tone and just seemed all over the place. Perhaps it could be b/c it was a busy weekend for them but still, there's ways to handle it and still be professional to your staff. The food was still good this time like the last. I have no complaints there, but obviously, the manager's tone was not what we were expecting.I will try to avoid this place on the weekends given how busy it is, especially if there's a soccer team take over.On my last visit, I came on a Friday for an early lunch w/my friend. It wasn't as busy and the ambiance was much more enjoyable.

Yelp never steers me wrong! We were looking for a place to eat since I was in the Pleasanton area and saw this place had 5 stars and figured it was worth the visit.It's a cute little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they will bring you the food. For that kind of setup - I felt like their service was extra good. They came out more than once to check on us, make sure we had everything, and also take away dirty dishes.The food was great! I had the hamlet panini with the tomato soup. The owner told us they usually have two soup choices but ran out of the corn chowder earlier. He said they also do a zuppa toscana and my friend's eyes got big since that's her favorite soup.Don't skip the specials menu. I got the black sesame latte and it was delicious. I like too that you could get it with oat or almond milk! Also the sangria flight looked delicious.

Loved the food! Thai crepes were yummy, perfectly cooked, right amount of flavors, nothingwas overpowering or undercooked! The tiramisu crepe was perfect, just enough sweetness. The place was clean and nice. I am sure it gets busier in the evenings, but I am glad we had a tasty, peaceful lunch; Coming back soon with my son!

Popped in here today to check it out, and it checks all of the boxes. Cute, clean, excellent service, not rushed, plenty of variety on the menu (paninis, soup, crepes that are sweet or savory, cocktails, speciality coffees, and seasonal offerings. I had a galette with seasoned vegetables, and a cup of tomato soup. My oh my the soup is phenomenal! It's creamy, not too salty, and way better that most of the tomato soup I've ordered in other restaurants. Sometimes it just tastes like marina sauce, or it's overpowered by basil and oregano. It was served in a mug, and I happily savored every sip. The galette was fresh, slightly sweet, and oh so satisfying with cheese at the bottom (almost as a tasty little reward for eating my veggies). I also had iced tea, it's made fresh. I requested black tea with a splash of the sweetened passion fruit. Again, top notch and better than the rest. My brunch date devoured her panini and didn't even offer me any. We chatted it up with who I suspect is the owner. It turns out he loves dogs just as much as we do. This place is just full of happy vibes, really great food and drinks, the wonderful friendly service is just the cherry on top.
