While we were trying to find the café l, we met Gilberto who was amazing to us explaining everything about the property!! The food at the café was great as well as the service. We enjoyed it very much!

Very attractive interior and pleasantly quiet. Breakfast burrito is tasty but not as big as at most places. I'm old and don't need to eat much, though.

I was really happy to come here with a friend, but the experience was disappointing.
I ordered an egg sandwich, orange juice, and a caramel coffee for dine-in. The egg tasted undercooked and wasn’t great. The coffee was served in a to-go cup, which was odd for dine-in.
But the worst part, my orange juice never arrived even after 1 hour and 20 minutes. About 20 minutes before we left, I went to the front desk to remind them, and they still didn’t bring it.
As we were leaving, the staff asked me to “one second” so they could finally give me the juice. Sorry, but after waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes, I’m done waiting.
To make it worse, they couldn’t find my order and couldn’t process a refund. I’m still waiting for it.
With so many great cafes in the Bay Area, there’s no reason to waste time on one that disappoints in every possible way.

This place is excellent, immediately made it to my list of best coffee shops in the area. Great ambience, amazing cold matcha drink with mango, lovely service. Only downside is the price.

Food is decent. I had pumpkin spice latte which was good but would not be my top choice in the area. The almond croissant was tasty but soggy from the middle.
The vibe is really nice though, it’s in a hotel so you have to take the valet for parking which is not the most convenient and adds on to the visit.
Also the latte art sucked, usually I don’t care too much about it but from a proper cafe i expected more.

⭐ Honest Review
I was drawn to this property for the café, restaurant, and its very unique lobby design. We started our visit with breakfast at the café, where I ordered a hazelnut latte and the breakfast sandwich. The coffee was excellent — smooth and flavorful — but the sandwich was pretty standard and didn’t stand out much. I’d like to return and try the waffle next time.
The ambience was inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. This is a great spot for a light breakfast, coffee, or a casual meet-up, but not necessarily for a full, hearty meal. Parking is convenient with spaces on both sides of the property and plenty of Tesla charging stations available.
The lobby itself is beautiful and worth exploring. We enjoyed walking around the outdoor seating areas and the pool — the layout and aesthetic make this place a truly unique destination.

Backyard Cafe started off great, with a varied menu 🥪🥗and delicious options. Unfortunately, they recently cut down ✂️the menu significantly, and it’s just not the same anymore.
Today, I came by around 11 a.m. hoping to have a nice brunch, but the menu was extremely limited basically just one sandwich 🥪 , some drinks 🍷☕️🍵, and 🥗.
I’m sharing some photos ⬇️of the food they used to serve, just to show how much it’s changed. Hopefully they bring back more of the original offerings.
