“Fiero Cafe is a great spot for a casual but satisfying meal. The pasta here is authentic and delicious — the bolognese especially stands out, rich and full of flavor. Portions are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They also serve omelets, which make a nice lighter option if you’re not in the mood for pasta. Overall, a cozy place with tasty, well-made dishes that feel genuinely Italian.“

Banana Latte
Bibimbap

“This cafe is such a little gem on the first floor of a beautiful office building. You can order drinks/food and enjoy them outdoor on the steps by the water and trees or spend the day working inside of the cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Plenty of room and tables to work and study.

No need to break up your work time because they serve hot meals and there is such a beautiful space right outside to get fresh air.“

Atlas Bakery & More Cafe • $
1820 Gateway Drive Unit 111, San Mateo

“I was just looking for a place with quick service and a really good latte, and Atlas Bakery & More completely delivered. It’s inside a corporate building, which honestly made the whole thing feel even more unexpected. I grabbed my coffee and sat outside in their sunny courtyard with the fountains, little benches, and umbrellas, and it ended up being such a peaceful part of my morning. A very charming little hidden gem.“

“If you’re trying their signature Miso Caramel Latte, may I recommend going with the iced latte option? While the hot latte is still good, the umami-ness of miso and the contrast of the flavors is much more pronounced in the iced latte version.“
