“Fantastic community based organization at a beautiful. Welcoming site!“

“I really enjoyed my Friday morning visit around 10 a.m. There was about a 5-minute wait, a short line, and all the chairs were taken, lots of people standing around and the space was loud and crowded. I was meeting a friend, and even in the bustle we were able to have a wonderful conversation. By about 10:30, the crowd thinned out, and we found a table to enjoy not just our conversation but also some delicious coffee.

She ordered a flat white and loved it, saying it had a caramel-like taste. I had the Tahitian vanilla latte with oat milk (so good!) and an avocado toast. Next time, I’ll definitely order the avocado toast with an egg and try the miso latte the barista recommended.

The café has seating for maybe 15–20 people, either individually or paired up. Overall, a great spot, I’ll definitely be back!“

“I was very glad when the cafeteria opened, as I don’t like chain coffee shop and now I can just buy good coffee from local shop instead of 15 mins driving to Blue bottle. I always go with latte, and it is okay ish - it is definitely better than chain coffee but in my mind not up to other boutique cafes like blue bottle/verve, and not even to latte I made at home sometimes (and I don’t have an expensive Lamarzoco machine). Also as others pointed out, it is too milky with large cups. But the price is the same as the other boutique cafes! I was surprised when I first noticed the price: close to $8 for a grande latte? Anyways, still happy that we have a nice local coffee shop, but please keep the price reasonable for locals to support happily.“

“I love this place — the coffee is top quality, and you can grab a great lunch at the same time. They offer a nice variety of drinks and meals, whether you’re dining in or just stopping by. My favorite are the cappuccino and homemade cookies ✨️✨️✨️. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, the kind of spot you'd absolutely consider for a casual date or meet-up. Highly recommend!“

“Love the layout and ambience. The coffee was great. With @mike and @gordon“

“Great walkable neighborhood“

“Best coffee in San Carlos... by a considerable distance.“

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

“I tend to forget to take pictures sometimes. But by far, my favorite bagel spot in the bay. Warm toasty bagels. Delicious sandwiches. Always great customer service. You want a nice thicccccck bagel sandwich you go to docs. The rolled hotdogs and hotlinks are delicious, too!“

“I attended a Chemex Kenz coffee tasting and love their Hambala. Their love and passion for coffee translates in the quality of their beans. I’m glad I can also enjoy their brew at Sue’s Cafe in Downtown Saratoga.“

“You can tell when you walk in that this is a well-established fixture in Palo Alto. The breakfast menu is limited, but the food is made fresh and the ingredients were whole and healthy. And the coffee is very good, which makes sense since they advertise coffee from around the world and have a big roaster sitting off to the side.

The veggie omelet had a good number of veggies and was accompanied by a bagel and a cup of fruit. Although I was hungry I couldn't finish it all. They are generous with the coffee, and I also needed a to go cup for that. The seasoning on the omelet was pretty tame, but they provide salt and pepper, along with Tapatio got sauce to spice it up for those who like a little more flavor.

The counter service was courteous, and attentive, and our orders were correct.“

“was an amazing vibes lovely crew coffee was so good!“

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

“I’ve been to many coffee shops, but none come close to the warmth and energy of the baristas at Philz. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine smiles and an uplifting atmosphere that sets the tone for your whole day. The baristas here don’t just make coffee — they go out of their way to ensure your drink is exactly how you like it, often exceeding expectations.

What truly stands out is how consistently kind, cheerful, and attentive they are. It’s rare to find a team that takes this much pride in creating not only a great cup of coffee but also a positive customer experience. A special thank you to all of the Philz baristas for smiling and making every visit a little brighter. You make great coffee — but even better, you make people feel good.“

“Amazing food, excellent place to attend an event and meet new people.“

“Nice place and nice coffee“

“Fiero Cafe is truly a hidden gem in San Mateo! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and authenticity behind everything they do. Filippo Guarino, the owner, pours his heart into every dish, and it shows. His handcrafted Italian food is nothing short of extraordinary, fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and the kind of attention to detail you only find in true Italian cooking.

I tried the catzo sandwich, and it was fantastic, perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. On top of the food, Filippo makes you feel like family, welcoming you with warmth and genuine hospitality.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in the Bay Area, Fiero Cafe is a must. Do yourself a favor and go, you’ll leave planning your next visit before you even walk out the door.“

“Best coffee in the Bay Area according to me.“

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“This place is absolutely incredible!!! The food is beyond delicious - especially the Korean dishes, which are so good they’ll leave you speechless. The service is wonderfully friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I also love that they have outdoor seating; it gives the restaurant such a pleasant and vibrant atmosphere.

If you go, you must try the Korean tteokbokki(spicy rice cake 떡볶이) korean fried chicken, and the kimchi fried rice , all highly recommended. Even the coffee is amazing here!!!! they serve it generously and it tastes fantastic.

Overall, a perfect spot for anyone looking for excellent food, outstanding service, and a great vibe!“

“Delicious food in a pleasant setting with great service. Recommended.“

“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.“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“

“Zoom Caffe, highly recommend! 5 � coffee and great eats!“

“Nice staff. Great menu and lovely outside patio for dining“

“Great food an Service. Friendly staff and generous portions.“

“Had a great experience at Philz Coffee in Menlo Park. I ordered the turkey sausage breakfast sandwich, a chicken and rice burrito, a Mint Mojito, and an Arabic coffee — and everything was honestly delicious. The breakfast sandwich was warm and satisfying, the burrito was surprisingly filling and well-seasoned, and both drinks were spot on. The Mint Mojito was refreshing as always, and the Arabic coffee had a bold, smooth flavor. On top of that, the workers were super friendly and welcoming — you can tell they really care about customer service. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“The food was really very tasty. The staff were very humble and courteous. Food was served in an excellent way.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“The owner runs a great business and the staff is wonderful. Thank you.I double checked and you are correct. I have the wrong location. It’s the new store front under construction at the corner on the left side of the arch. I was upset and didn’t clarify I had the right business. A mistake I hope I can rectify with a new 5 star review“

“Super nice team working Saturday , glad we got in just before closing! Nice if you were open just abit later!“

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

“Being from out of town I hadn’t heard oh Philz. I stopped by to hang out with some coffee for a little while before a meeting. I was surprised by their comprehensive coffee list and landed on a delicious blend to sip on. Service was fast and friendly. There were a dozen or so customers working away on their laptops with plenty of table space to spare. If this place existed near me I wouldn’t go to another cafe for coffee!“

“Nice place!“

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)“

“Not only is the coffee the BEST but everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful! Great start to my day!“

“My wife and I went there for breakfast and the food was absolutely delicious. Good variety on their menu and the service was absolutely great. I had the crabcakes eggs Benedict and my wife had the banana macadamia nut coconut, pancakes, My wife and I will definitely be going here more often and I definitely recommend it to anyone.“

“Just stopped for a cortado, which was really nice both in terms of temperature and flavor. The staff was also very helpful and accommodating with my crutches. Music was pretty good, and wifi solid but no outlets. Still good enough to get some work done.“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Peet’s Coffee in San Mateo has quietly become my daily ritual—my personal launchpad into the chaos of the day. There's something grounding about walking in and hearing the low hum of grinders and the warm “good morning” from behind the counter, where they already know I’m here for my chai tea. It’s not just the spice or the perfect froth; it’s the familiarity—the way the light spills across the tabletops, the subtle rhythm of the neighborhood waking up around me. I sip slowly, letting the warmth seep into my thoughts as I sketch out the day ahead.“

“Boba Bliss is my go to milk tea shop since is walking distance from work. The place is clean, modern and with plenty of in door and outdoor seating. Service is fast and friendly. Menu has seasonal items, coffee, teas and drinks that are more on the milk shake side. The tea is freshly brewed if you're like milk tea for the tea flavor. Boba is soft and chewy. Overall one of the best milk tea options out there.“

“I am visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this bakery. I purchased the fresh strawberry tres leches. Oh my goodness. It was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time! So so delicious. Highly recommend!“

“This has been my go-to lunch spot at work for for the last 8 mos (ever since I found out about it). One of the tastiest sandwich places and reasonably priced. Great, fresh ingredients, thoughtful menu items, and extremely friendly staff. Probably one of the most 'slept on' restaurants in the area. Would give 10 stars if I could.“

“Great nice clean place friendly crew as I write this I'm back here again ... Good Day cheers“

“Buenísima atención. Ideal para realizar trabajos, mientras disfrutas de una bebida.“
