13 Best Cafes in Redwood City

“Delicioso todos. Really enjoyed service and the food.“

“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!“

“Absolutely adore this place! From the delightful staff, delectable food, to the charming atmosphere, it's a complete package!Plus, their mimosas are unparalleled, even for someone like me who doesn't usually indulge. I've been a loyal patron since day one, and my go-to dish has to be their breakfast tacos! ?“

“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.“

“Food is absolutely amazing. The breakfast sandwich is to die for, and their Kouign-amann is the best I've ever had. The store is adorable and doesn't have hipsters on laptops camping out in it. Service is quick and very kind. Best bakery I've ever been to.“

“Great Korean food! I like that I can build my own binimbap with salad. I also requested French fries with cheese and homemade kimchi since I liked it when I tried from a food truck before. Sooooooo good! Not on the menu, but worth asking for.“

“Love everything about this place - food, atmosphere, books, decor, performances. What a blessing for our community!“

“My friend and I got influenced lol. She saw a reel about their high tea so we decided to go on a whim.

What’s great about Quail Cafe is that you don’t need to buy a ticket to Filoli Gardens access it. High tea is first come, first serve and it starts at 1pm.

We got there early so we ordered a few things before ordering high tea. I hadn’t eaten anything yet, so I got the ham and cheese croissant. It was not worth $10.50. There was nothing special about it, not even the cheese on top. It wasn’t as warm as I wanted it to be - it was still cold at the bottom. I don’t recommend it.

The high tea itself was pretty good! It’s $65 for two people, which is one of the more reasonable prices in the Bay Area and the amount of food reflected that price because there were only two tiers. But I’ve had high tea at other places at higher prices where I felt there should’ve been more.

You get a choice of tea, which is Numi and you get one bag. There were 4 types of sandwiches and there’s 3 of each. There were two scones, clotted cream, jam, two macarons, and four petite fours. It was a good balance between savory and sweet.

The sandwiches were cucumber, chicken salad, egg salad with bacon, and a strawberry basil. For the most part they were yummy. I wish there was more egg salad than bacon bits. But I thought the strawberry basil was unique. And the desserts weren’t too sweet. I wish the cakes were more moist and relied on the frosting too much. The scones were delicious! They were buttery and flaky. I just wish they were warmer.

We sat outside and it was a lovely atmosphere. It wasn’t too loud, even with children. The weather was perfect and we took our time enjoying our meal. Just note that you have to pick up your tea at the counter, which is a bit heavy. And the ground isn’t even outside so you have to be careful when taking it to your table.

I’d like to come back in the future to try other menu options and to explore the property.“

“The place feels so nostalgic. This place is a diner and a cafe mixed into one. There are a lot of pictures and the drinks are great. Remind me of a western 1980s bar.

I ordered the ice mocha and it was delicious. The people here speak Spanish. Lovely bunch of people!“

“the strawberry Horchata Mexican is so good“
