The Home Run sourdough breakfast sandwich was excellent and I would order that again x100. The hash brown serving that came with the sandwich was ginormous and I ended up needing a to-go box for that! The latte however was not to my liking, tasted bitter to me.
You order and pay before you are given a table to sit down at, making it super efficient. I've been here a couple times now and the quality is consistent - pancakes are fluffy, the toasted bread, etc. love that the banana foster had the sauce and toppings come as separate so that it doesn't make the dish soggy if you didn't finish and wanted to take home. Fried chicken plate was great and fried well (not greasy). The fries with feta cheese and garlic is a great side to choose!

Small and loud inside. Yummy food. Always crowded. No place to wait for a table or your order. Very Overpriced.

Had the BLTA and bacon was cold and stale. Extremely hard to read the menu on the wall from where you order and the order taker doesn't advise of options. Overall, quality and level of service makes it not worth the high price point.

Looking for a nice breakfast place by redwood city/woodside, my partner and I stumbled upon brothers cafe. With a few other locations in the bay, I knew this place must be pretty good. It was indeed pretty good. We ordered the St. Patty’s benedict as well as the Bananas Foster French Toast. Both dishes were pretty delicious and the service was great. The cashier was very patient with us as we navigated their menu and as this restaurant is an order then sit down restaurant, it was very easy to get seated. It is in a pretty isolated area, so I am not sure how busy they would get here, but it is a pretty good breakfast option.

On October 27th, I visited Brother's Cafe around 3:00 PM while running between appointments. I was looking for a quick, protein-rich meal but was unsure what to order. The staff member at the counter was exceptionally patient and helpful, guiding me to a perfect decision. The service was quick, and the food was delicious. Thank you!!

Brothers Cafe is my go-to in the area for a simple, high-quality brunch. The menu isn’t fussy: just well-made staples like eggs, pancakes, and solid coffee, and everything comes out fresh and consistent. Service is warm and quick, the space is clean, and prices feel fair for the quality. It’s an easy stop while Tesla supercharging nearby.

Step 1: Place order at the counter.
Step 2: Pay for order.
Step 2a: Choose how much to tip while paying for order: 15%, 20%, etc. So, you will need to guess how you will like your experience when you tip.
Step 3: Receive an order number card.
Step 4: Look for a place to sit. Good luck.
Step 5: Sit down and place order number card at edge of table.
Make friends with the flys which regularly visit your plate.

Eggs ranchero were yummy but I wish the tortillas were on top..they were too soggy to pick up. Not a fan of my muffin as it was dry. Staff was very friendly
