“Update - new vegan empanadas are great! They are filled with mushroom and vegan feta, very filling and tasty. They have always had vegan options since they opened, delicious plantains rice and beans. It's a local small business with an owner who cares. They added vegan meats now as an option which was something I've been asking for. Updated from previous review on 2023-01-24“
“Great spot for a date or just a night out. There is parking along the front. There are tons of seats available with some near heating like the fire pit or the heat posts. You order abs they bring it to you. The service was quick and the drinks were delivered to our table warning 10mins. The staff is very quick to clean also. The beer selection is great and there is something for everyone!“
“A special homemade cakeThe outer crunchy honeycomb layer melts in your mouth and is very sweet, the creme and yellow cake is mildly sweet. My favorite part was the cremeEasy phone ordering and pick upThe 6" was plenty for six people, it would have been enough for eight“
“Fun, casual place for meeting a group. The culinary approach is best described as comfort food, with something for every taste. I chose Lazy Dog to for a family get-together because it's close to our Foster City relatives, has easy parking, and a nice outdoor area that is dog-friendly. We all found something we liked in the menu. My husband really liked the Cuban sandwich, my older daughter loved the Kraft macaroni and cheese (nothing special, obviously, but exactly what kids tend to want), while my other daughter wanted Asian noodles, so we shared the yaki soba (which was delicious). Most importantly, my somewhat picky 92 year old grandmother, who medically needs to make sure she eats enough (but can't always bring herself to), ate her entire portion of teriyaki noodles. The lunch portion was perfect for her--she can't eat too much in one sitting. What I liked most about Lazy Dog was the service. Anthony was really great. Some of the dishes we initially tried ordering were unavailable, so he brought free dessert--sundaes for both my daughters. And they were extra fun: bowls of ice cream with little dishes of chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, and sprinkles so the girls could make the sundaes themselves. The other staff were also attentive. When the sun got bright, they brought an umbrella, unprompted, to shade my grandmother. There's a deal right now for one small plate for $5, available all day--a bargain.“
“***For scones and cateringJust like to give a big shout out to Ingrid who was a dream to work with from the start to finish! She was responsive, diligent, and made the holiday craziness a lot smoother. And the scones were a big hit at our event! 5 stars all around :)“
“Don't listen to negativity regarding ALLSPICE— this is a hidden jewel whose cuisine will blow you away for its creativity, flavor and inventiveness. The veggie dishes fully hold up to any of the meat entrees, really extraordinary— light, luscious. The wine pairings are excellent and reasonably priced. Michelin is rarely wrong and here, doesn't even do just to the romantic combination of class and elegance. Best place for date night I know...“
“Ist time here and impressed. Wanted coffee in a real cup and almond croissant and stayed for the ambiance! Italian music playing in the background and a window seat to view the creek. Talk about relaxing ☺️ A lot of locals here so I know they've found a great spot!!!They offer breakfast and lunch, will have to try these another time. Can imagine this spot with the umbrellas on a summer morning. Give it a try ❤️“
“You drive into a very quiet parking lot with ample parking spaces. You begin to question whether you are in the correct area… then you walk into the restaurant and realize you have walked into the right place. On a Friday night you enter the most exciting place in Burlingame! The music is live and the drinks are served…. The food is great and the service is fantastic. Be sure to go only if you want to enjoy yourself, especially on a Friday night!“
“Brought the family here after a day in SF. It was the perfect meal after a long day. The crust was thin and crisp and all of the toppings were fresh. We ordered one family pizza and it was more than enough to feed all of us. The staff that helped us were so kind and welcoming. Definitely a place you can order out and eat in at. Definitely will swing by again when I'm traveling through the area again!“
“My husband got the Chop pastrami salad, which is always good and this time I got the shrimp tacos. Perfect amount and should've asked for some spicy sauce or jalapeños because it could've used a little kick. All in although, service was great what else can you ask for!?“
“I’ve ordered 3 cakes from here in the span of a month. I was so impressed with the 6in mango cake I decided to get more for a coworker birthday and going away cake.The cakes are beautiful and delicious. They’re pretty standard cake prices ($30+) I call or email ahead of time to order. The fruit cake doesn’t seem to be available all the time, but it’s totally worth. I didn’t get a pic of the tiramisu :(I’ll be looking forward to getting more cakes in the future! The other pastries from here are good, too!“
“We stopped here for a quick bite after arriving in SFO and had to hit the road to go to Napa. Delicious sandwiches and although this place had a beachy vibe. It was really quiet and staff didn't seem terribly friendly or welcoming but our party of four just wanted to get some food and leave anyway.“
“Stumbled on this place quite by accident - since its not a very visible place. Was surprised by how good and fresh the good was, and awesome shakes. Has become our regular go-to burger joint, and on a nice sunny day the outdoor seating is perfect with the great food.“
“Literally a HOLE in the wall spot lol. Service was quick and easy, wait times were reasonable and there is a lot of parking. Because they only do takeout, it's easy to pop in and out. The Beef Birria was so good; full of flavor and meaty. The taco was thick and cheesy. So glad we found this! I highly recommend this place!“

“Smallish, popular Italian restaurant. Bruschetta is not to be missed. Spaghetti is tasty. Lasagna is great. This time I tried a steak - really. And it was really, really good.Parking can be sketchy. Stay is just so very helpful and caring. Highly recommended.“
“Stopped in while charging my car. Ordered the classic crepe with lemon and it was GREAT! $9.00 out the door and it was worth every dime. The woman who helped was very nice and even offered water. I ate there and the restaurant was small but clean. Next time you charge your next to Safeway try it out you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!“
“Small Cute local spot that offers delightful freshly made donuts and breakfast fare. Limited seating both indoor and outdoor covered patio. Has own private lot parking. Takes credit cards. Come in, line up, give your order first, and then grab a number and find seating. Cute and yummy eats. Friendly staff. Popular for take out donut orders! Definitely glad it was recommended to us as first timers. Definite recommend, as well!“
“TLDR: high quality tasty tea with great bobaI got the tie guan yin milk tea with boba for $6 and it came out within 2 minutes. The milk tea was silky and creamy, the boba was soft and chewy. The tea flavor was very strong and even at 50%, the sweetness was a bit strong but still very good and enhanced the flavor of the drink. Would definitely come back to try some other drinks“
“I've always passed by Rise Woodfire and finally got the chance to check it out. I had ordered the Brussels sprouts, burrata and a calabrese + honey pizza. The Brussels sprouts were pretty average but the burrata was really good. The burrata was creamy and just right with the pesto. The pizza was rather small for the price but it was still pretty delicious, not sure if I would reorder the pizzas though.“
“Great Peet's. Both inside and outside seating.Friendly, helpful service.In Downtown San Mateo - kitty corner with B Street Books - great little book shop.Pick up a book at B Street and then relax with a coffee or tea at Peet's!Double door entrance - I don't know if there is a button available to push if you use mobility aid and need help with door.“
“Enjoyed crab ragoons, honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef (not spicy), scallop chow mein, and hot tea.No alcohol selection seen, nor offered, but I didn't ask.Each dish was absolutely amazing. I can appreciate what other reviewers are saying about the particularly amazing chow mein, rich flavors in each dish while light on salt.Small cozy place with rich visual environment.Between fast friendly service, flexibility on dishes, simple menu, amazing taste, and price, I look forward to going back soon.Vegetarian options: Menu items are separate from protein selection, so you can pick any dish and ask for a vegetarian protein.Dietary restrictions: Anything spicy can be made not spicy upon request.Parking: Street parking, easily found a spot in this residential neighborhood.Kid-friendliness: Our waiter was kid and engaging with our 7 year old with a select pallette.Wheelchair accessibility: Appears to be ADA compliant. The place is cozy, but no access restriction for wheel chairs.“
“Following a real estate photo shoot, my daughter and I treated ourselves to a delightful brunch at Pacific Catch. As we observe no meat on a Friday for Lent, we were thrilled to discover a variety of fresh options that exceeded our expectations.The sushi bowl and the poke & ceviche trio were standout dishes, boasting exceptional freshness and quality that truly delighted our taste buds. It was a joy to savor every bite and appreciate the genuine flavors of each ingredient.We were equally impressed by the excellent service and efficiency of the staff. Despite the bustling atmosphere, our orders were promptly served, allowing us to relax and soak up the sunshine as we dined al fresco before the rain for the next days.Overall, our experience at Pacific Catch was nothing short of fantastic. From the delicious food to the warm hospitality, it was the perfect way to unwind after a busy morning. We look forward to returning for another culinary adventure soon“
“Amazing tacos for a reasonable price! The truck was on the El Camino in front of Safeway. Red truck with some chairs in front. I had two tacos, carne asada (steak) and el pastor (marinated pork). If you order with everything it comes with seasoned onions, carrots on the side, and fresh onions and cilantro on the tacos. You can get green or red sauce on the side. Overall it's a great street taco. One of the best I've had in the area. Worth a try“
“This is a great place for a pick me up or whatever. Great Mochas, and I am sure others. The Bagels are large ones also. The people are very friendly and nice. They know me by name, and my order usually. Very convenient. Thank you. The Bagel Box, Nice to have that business here. Hope they do well also.“
“Great place to come after work to unwind. Happy hour is great and how can we resist the goat cheese and pepper jelly spread; it is addictive and we order it every time. They old fashioneds with or without the candied bacon are awesome.Our tea toddler friends seem to be satisfied with the mock tails and the ginger beer. Food wise, they have a quite a spread of offerings and when I'm in my vegetarian mode, I get the beet balls with spaghetti squash. The servings are big and can be split as they're good enough for two.“
“We went to this place on Friday evening and there were a few people. The service was quick. We ordered Vanilla Custard and Blackberry Guava Swirl..The blackberry guava soft serve was very good. Guava flavour was subtle and refreshing. The vanilla Custard had kinda slimy texture but was not disappointing. We will surely go back to taste some of their other flavors.The soft serves are kinda pricey and portion size are huge..I wish they also had options for a smaller size soft serve.“
“My family and I came here on recommendation from another friend that loves Boba. Parking sucks! My family and I were driving in three separate cars, since we just came from dim sum in Millbrae, and trying to find a spot with all of us in the same area was ridiculous on a Sunday afternoon afternoon! Nevertheless, the GPS did not tell us that half of the street on "B St. was closed for the public to walk and kind of like the Covid times, where everything is set up for businesses to eat outdoors. I really like that idea of eating outdoors, but I wish the GPS had updated their system telling us there was no parking. Lol. Once inside the café, everything was so cute and organized. I really liked it! It was a long rectangular restaurant that went all the way back and they even had an upstairs area with a loft that overlooked the register area that we were sitting in below. Since we had a rather large party, we sat outside, and there were at least four tables with chairs all the way around for everybody to sit in. The restaurant next-door seems to be under a change of ownership, so my nephews were able to ply freeze dance in a designated area without bothering anybody. Lol the Boba itself tasted delicious. I got the T8-I think it was with passionfruit and Boba and it was delicious! I always do my Boba without sugar and light ice because I really want to taste the green tea and I figure Boba is already sweet anyways. There was a little bit of a lemon/lime citrus flavor in the Boba itself, which I also loved!! My boyfriend got an easy green tea with just Boba in it and it had this cool drink carrier with a dragon around the top! It was so pretty my nephews always wish they had one too! Lol as their orders came up, each one of them had a cool dragon drink carrier, and they were so proud of their Taiwanese, Chinese, Filipino heritage! I will definitely be back here again to try more of their drinks!! Hee“
“Love the big bowl of beef combination noodle soup. It was very flavorful. The service was great. I came on a Sunday at lunchtime. There was no wait, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I was even reminded of a free Thai iced tea with a yelp check-in. Good iced tea too.“
“The barista Yvonne was beyond kind this evening. I came in just after they closed and didn't realize it. She confirmed if I was ordering a hot chocolate - I had my 3 year old with me. Yvonne offered to make the hot chocolate which I was very appreciative of. Then she went a step further and didn't charge us since they had shut the registers down. I had come in about 20 minutes prior to this and unfortunately had to leave and come back since my daughter needed to use the restroom. My daughter was very happy of course. I am so grateful for Yvonne's kindness and for her making my kiddos night. Thank you!“
“Organic milk, organic sugar, organic fruits and premium ingredients, are some of the reasons I come here for myself and my kids! This Yifang location in San Mateo is definitely my all time favorite for any milk tea, boba, fruit teas, and sweet drinks across the Bay Area. I'm super happy that my children are drinking something with real ingredients rather than powdered ingredients with high fructose corn syrup. Their favorite drinks include Strawberry Milk, Strawberry Sago, and Brown Sugar Pearl Latte (there's no caffeine in these), and my favorites are the Yifang Fruit Tea, Grass Jelly Tea, Sugar Can Mountain Tea, and Brown Sugar Pearl Matcha Latte. The other item options are top-notch as well. Drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so I would always order 30% sweetness. Highly, highly recommend! Staff here are sweet and so helpful!“
“if you're looking for healthy & delicious food, EAT HERE! I ordered a green smoothie with berries & almond butter The staff were so friendly and kind, plus they shouted out some of their favorites! I can't wait to come back They also have a TON of seating and the vibe/decoration/lighting here is so cute. Added: it's so incredibly disappointing and astounding how spoiled, entitled, and tone deaf many of the folks who've posted reviews on here have resonates. yall need to get a grip and support local business with your chest. bless“
“Service at this location is fantastic. The food quality is similar to what you'd expect from Cava or Naya on the east coast. It's good for that Mediterranean fix. The downside is the cost. Around 16 bucks for a bowl is tough to stomach. They do add a nice lentil soup with your meal though and have some interesting sauces / dips. Plenty of seating in there too.“
“As someone who doesn't typically indulge in Starbucks daily, my recent experience at the Starbucks at 54 E. 4th Avenue was exceptional. I was in a coffee dilemma when my trusty home coffee maker broke down and required a month-long wait for a replacement part. To say I was desperate for my caffeine fix is an understatement.During this trying time, I ordered Starbucks from several different locations, but it was the 4th Avenue Starbucks that truly won me over.My first visit to this particular Starbucks was memorable. A kind woman who turned out to be an employee on her break generously allowed me to go ahead of her in line. We struck up a pleasant conversation, setting the stage for what would become my go-to Starbucks location.What truly set 54 E. 4th Avenue apart was its incredible early-morning staff. Every visit was met with warm and welcoming smiles, and the service was consistently friendly and efficient. Despite my frequent visits, I never felt like an inconvenience. The staff always made it a point to ask for my name and promptly prepared my beverage, creating a personal and inviting atmosphere.Now, here comes the bittersweet part of my review. Our home coffee maker has been repaired, so I'll head to Starbucks less often. However, when that undeniable Starbucks craving hits, there's no doubt that I'll be making my way back to 4th Avenue. It's where exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere make even occasional Starbucks drinkers like me feel at home.Thank you, 54 E. 4th Avenue Starbucks, for being my coffee savior during a challenging month. You've earned a loyal customer, and I look forward to returning whenever I need a coffee pick-me-up.“
“Super cute cafe with amazing drinks and food with hints of Asian influence. I ordered the black sesame latte and the ricotta yuzu toast. The toast was especially impressive in the way in brought together a variety of flavors. Everything about the interior was modern. cozy and picturesque and I had really enjoyed staying here and working on sketches.I do want to note that I arrived on a Friday around 2pm and the place was pretty packed and their pastries had already sold out. I would come back earlier next time for the croissants :)“
