*This review is for the soft opening of their cafe only, not the restaurant. There's always new things popping up in Santana Row, and Augustine was a nice surprise. I happened to stop by during their soft opening and saw that it was already very popular with people sitting outside and a line forming inside. I decided to take a quick peek before deciding where to get my coffee this day and I'm glad I did. There was a sign on the door saying that you'd get a free treat today since they were still training staff, so I was sold. However, all of their baked goods and snacks were gone by the time I was able to place my order, so instead my drink was free. They were even nice enough to let me order another one to take home! I ordered an iced decaf vanilla latte and an iced matcha. I saw that some people got the option to choose the size of their drinks but they gave me the standard smaller size by default, which was fine. Drinks took a little while to make since there were so many orders and only one espresso machine making maybe 2 drinks at a time. The matcha was hand whisked which was nice to see. Overall, the drinks needed a little improvement but were fine for being free. If I had paid the $6-7 each, I'd probably ask them to remake the latte because it was way too sweet and I had asked for lightly sweetened. The matcha was good but could actually have been a little sweeter. Quality of both drinks were spot on though, so that's a win. I'll definitely be back and want to try their baked goods since the early reviews have all spoken highly of them. There are already a few great options for cafes at the Row, but I think Augustine will fit right in. read more

We had lunch on a Friday and really enjoyed our meal. We felt Augustine is one of the better restaurants at Santana Row now, and it's a good addition. Service was attentive and polite, and our dishes came out pretty quickly. We tried the duck cannelloni, mushroom tart, crab donuts, and dark chocolate mousse for dessert. My favorite was probably the mushroom tart but my husband liked the duck cannelloni. We would definitely return with friends! They have a beautiful patio which will be great when the weather gets warmer. I also stopped by the bakery last week and enjoyed the midnight chocolate cake. It's a cute spot to meet up with girlfriends! read more

(This review is for the CAFE) In addition to the sit down main restaurant, Augustine opened an attached order at the counter cafe for those not wanting a whole sit down meal. The cafe had a mix of pastries - some familiar, some French styles I was less familiar with but still within the constrained French flavor pallete (no Zatar croissants or turmeric monkey bread here). They also offer some small sandwiches for larger savory flair. The coffee menu is standard, no specialty flavors or concoctions. I ordered a Gruyère cheese pastry and a salted caramel cream puff. These savory pastry was new and intriguing (if a bit egg-y in flavor) but I can't help but feel a bit ripped off that I paid $6 for mostly air ). The salted caramel on top of the cream puff was perfect but I wished the flavor extended into the pastry cream itself. The interior design is beautiful with white and blue tiles. I am happy that a new cafe option is open on Santana row to add variety to fancy sit down restaurants and the other cafe Cocola (which has reigned unchecked in its middling options for too long) but I hope to see Augustine Cafe continue to push the boundaries of pastries in the future. Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - enter in the alleyway between Augustine and Left Bank that leads to parking garage - several paid Santana row parking garages nearby read more

New upscale Santa Row spot in the same restaurant group as Selby's in Menlo Park we love. Just opened mid-March '25. Went for brunch and had a nice meal. 4.25 stars Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere 5 Cost to worth it rating: 2 (on the spendier side for lunch with a $22 burger, $25 sandwich, $42 flank steak) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best thick French toast Highlights: - French toast: tall thick piece that was crispy on the outside and custardy on the inside. Nice vanilla flavor and whipped ricotta on top. 5 stars - Fries: thin and crispy. 4.5 stars - Burger: juicy large patty, quality melted cheese, warm brioche bun. 4 stars - Warm chocolate cookie: served quartered w side of chantilly cream. Our teen chocolate chip cookie connoisseur gave it 4 stars - Chocolate mouse: coupe filled with a deep chocolate flavor. 3.5 stars - Atmosphere: nice and classy inside - Good champagnes by the glass: had a Billecart-Salmon rose I enjoyed - Jesus: very professional waiter who took good care of us Midlights: - Flank steak: meat was fine but not quite Wagyu quality, topping was a bit bitter and needed salt. 3 stars - Croque monsieur: was pretty classic. Bit light on the ham and a jammy egg could've been runnier but the main issue was the 2 layers of very crusty bread was hard to cut into and overwhelmed the rest of the sandwich. 3 stars - Outdoor terrace: nice to have one, but it was bit dark in front - Not too much eggy items on brunch menu outside of a scrambled egg sandwich and a standard egg bacon plate Lowlights: - Got few things wrong in the modifications to our orders (no cheese, sauce on the side of the steak) but they're new, it wasn't major, and waiter was super nice about it Nice addition to Santa Row and I'd come back to try their dinner. read more

I was excited to come to Augustine after reading about it online. Really beautiful decor and a wonderful setting. The food was uniformly very good. The seafood was fresh and flavorful...the pork chop was tender...the chocolate mousse for dessert was good, but the house-made gelato was even better. Only nit and why this is not a 5-star rating is because the service was very spotty. Our waiter was great... when he was with us. He kept disappearing for long periods of time and we did not enjoy the wait. read more

So low class....why not just raise the prices 5% instead of trying to CHEAT your own customers? I mean I'm already paying $40 for a DRINK why not just be honest and make it $42 instead? I won't be biased, the food and interior design was actually adequate. However as other reviews have also already mentioned, service was INCREDIBLY slow and lack luster.

We were at Santana Row on Saturday and stopped by Augustine for some coffee. It was very nice! The shop is super cute and small but the staff are very friendly and we really enjoyed our drinks!! We got an iced vanilla latte and a regular hot latte. Both were good and had very nice flavors. The inside and outside are super cutesy with the decor and plants!! read more

My partner and I dined here during their soft opening and aside from the surly older hostess, our experience was just ok. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She had a bunch of great recommendations but my favorite was the chicken and caviar bites. My only complaints are that I wished they had deboned my branzino better as there were still some bones remaining in my fish. My partner ordered the pork which was pretty dry. To be frank, I had higher expectations as this restaurant was brought to life by the same management group as The Village Pub in Woodside and Selby's in Redwood City. I would come back for the chicken and caviar but nothing else is worth mentioning. read more

Augustine - chicken & caviar - Desserts Near Me - San Jose, California

The food is really tasty and our waiter is great! Very cheerful and attentive. My complaint is directed at their head waiter, who wears a vest and tie. A world cup match was on while we were eating. The screen was skewed to another table and hard for us to watch. After the people at the other table left, we tilted the TV screen to face our table. He stopped by and intervened and told us they can't have the screen to serve only one table. I don't disagree with his rational but I felt like he could use a friendly tone instead of being so blunt, borderline rude. That really rubbed me the wrong way. For an establishment located at such a prime location as Santana Row, I was expecting certain level of professionalism and service. This episode ruined what could have been a very pleasant experience. read more

Food Golden Osetra Caviar - $85 + $15 (extra for Fried Chicken) The brioche melba was toasted well and had a nice crunch. The caviar was served with chives, chopped onions, cured egg yolk, and crème fraiche. The fried chicken came with 4 pieces and was juicy. It didn't seem to go well with the caviar because of the flavor profiles and textures. Crushed Crispy Potatoes - $12 The smashed red onions, a side of crème fraîche, and garnished with chives were baked well. The dish was served with 11 pieces and easily shareable between 3-4 people as an appetizer. Garden Vegetable Salad - $18 The red beets, tangerines, sunflower seeds, and warm goat cheese were very refreshing. (note: Cafe Augustine next door served the same salad in a to go container for $11). Overall, I would order the caviar without the fried chicken, crispy potatoes, and garden vegetable salad. The dishes were served with an aesthetic appeal on the scalloped plate-ware and portions can be shared as family-style. The caviar was a miss with the fried chicken (all of the other caviar menu options were sold out and it was only 2 pm on a Saturday) and would eat it with the brioche melba. Customer Service The customer service was unmatched and very accommodating. My reservations needed to be shifted as my party was running late. Upon my arrival, the staff warmly greeted the party and promptly seated us. The server ensured all of our requests were accommodated and very attentive throughout the dining experience. The server accidentally provided the brunch menu instead of the dinner menu after my party had already placed our order. However, the kitchen staff was able to fulfill our brunch order. Ambiance Dim and warm lighting with chandeliers and blue velvet walls. Perfect for a casual day date or night out. Location Augustine is located across from Left Bank (formerly Sino) and next door to Sephora. There's a central garage for parking and an entrance to go directly to the cafe and restaurant. read more

First visit in this cafe @ Santana Row. Just walked in but was easily enticed. The people behind the counter were so friendly and both girls who helped me were gorgeous. I'm thinking this is maybe family owned and the daughters helped me? Anyway, just walked out with a snack and bought a delicious and crispy chewy Cowboy Cookie which is loaded with oats, dried cherries, toffee and chocolate chips and a Chocolate Croissant that was good enough. We have had better Chocolate Croissants at places like Arsicault Bakery or Tartine's Bakery in San Francisco. Still would recommend this place for a quick dessert bite or snack to bring home. read more

My husband and I gave Augustine restaurant a try after stopping by its cafe the week prior. We saw that the restaurant was popping, so I didn't take any chances for a walk-in. I made reservations for 5pm on a Saturday. We were seated inside in a big cozy booth all to ourselves. The restaurant was a classy, modern beauty. Our server was awesome. She was friendly and attentive, and she was really helpful with advising our food choices. Food came out in a timely manner as well, which was a huge plus. We ordered their French Fries and Savory Dungeness Crab Donuts to share. I enjoyed the French Fries, which were matchstick thin and extra crispy. Nice lemon aioli sauce for dipping as well. The donuts typically come in an order of 3, but we were informed that the donuts were smaller than usual so we got 4 instead. They were cool. Reminded me of refined seafood hush puppies. I particularly liked the yeast donut holes, which had a buttery soft texture. My husband got the Augustine burger. Admittedly the middle of his patty looked more rare than medium rare, which was the recommended temperature. All the fixings in the burger were great, making it really flavorful, but I couldn't get over the rareness. I got the Duck Canneloni, which was fantastic. This was highly recommended by our server, and I would agree that it was the best thing I ate at dinner. I thought that 2 canneloni wasn't going to be enough, but this dish was actually quite rich. For dessert I ordered their Old-fashioned Cruller. If you know your donuts and love French Crullers like I do, you'd be perplexed by the name of this dessert too. An old fashioned is a cake donut, whereas French crullers are made out of choux pastry... so which one is it?! I expressed my confusion to our server, and she had to go to the pastry chef to get clarification on the texture! I was assured that the Cruller was made with pâte à choux, and it was everything I wanted it to be. Also loved the crème anglaise. read more

RATING FOR CAFE/Bakery - - Saw quite a few TikToks about this place. It's nice to have something new at The Row. Went to check it out before we brunched at their restaurant. Quite a few patrons were outside enjoying their coffee and pastries. I went inside and was taken aback that was the only way in and out. It's a small rectangular shop and it wasn't clear how the line went, as folks were standing around the seats/tables. The display of pastries looked great. So we returned after brunch to mainly try their coffee but I saw the chocolate banana bread and I had to try it! Again, confusion with patrons coming in as it got crowded. Once you pay, you're in an awkward position where to wait. There is a table with 2 chairs that definitely should not be positioned in front of the cashier. They need stanchions to guide customers that it's a one-way line. It's also awkward not having an exit door there. It's just a tight space and if they want the flow to go right, remove half the table & chairs inside. At one point it got crowded, I had to go outside and let the hub wait. Coffee was okay and the banana bread was dense, but moist and good. read more

Julisa and Gram at Augustine absolutely nailed it! Everything from the food to the service was perfect. We ordered the Wagyu flank steak, breakfast sandwich, pear and almond crostata, fig Basque cheesecake, and the Harissa spiced carrots and every single dish was exceptional. The steak was melt in your mouth tender and packed with flavor, the breakfast sandwich was next level comfort food, and the crostata had that perfect balance of buttery, nutty, and sweet. The cheesecake and carrots were showstoppers in their own right. Creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Julisa and Gram made the experience even better, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can feel the care in every detail. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal and stellar service, Augustine is a must. Already planning my next visit. read more

This review is for Cafe Augustine (separate building from the restaurant. Entrance is by the small mini water fountain). The cafe recently opened so I decided to try it out. It's an extremely small interior but it's nice, clean, sleek, and modern. FYI it is very warm in there with the toaster going on and baking happening. They do have an outdoor patio section with seats. Service was great, everyone was nice and helpful. I asked what the best sellers for pastries were and the cashier told me that cinnamon rolls sell out fast. I decided why not try it since there's 3 left. The cinnamon roll dough was a little dense, would probably be a lot softer if you heat it up. All of the frosting sits on the top and there isn't any on the interior swirl. The dough cinnamon sugar filling was great, not too sweet and not overpowering with cinnamon. Most of the sweetness is coming from the frosting. I'm sure after heating it up, having the frosting be gooey and melted onto the dough, would make it taste better. The breakfast sandwich had the standard ingredients. The egg patty was actually very thick and fluffy. The sausage was also a decent thick as well, about the size of two McDonald's Sausage patty but in one. Tasted like someone made it for me rather than prepackaged like Starbucks. This Cafe is more on the expensive side, but they do have some pastries and desserts that are decently priced. I don't see myself coming here frequently but once in a while for their pastry/desserts. I haven't tried their drinks but since it's Santana Row, there are so many options for coffee. I would come back to try some of their other pastries or desserts. I rate Cafe Augustine 5 stars for the experience and taste, but for my personal rating with price in mind, I'd rate it a 4. *Each purchase comes with a Living Wage Fee (4%)* read more

This review is just for the cafe, not the restaurant. The cafe is tucked around the corner from the main spot and it's a gem for a quick pick-me up. They serve up a delightful selection of bakery treats, along with a solid variety of hot and cold coffee options. Whether you're in the mood for a flaky pastry or a refreshing cappuccino (like what I had), they've got you covered. It's the perfect grab-and-go stop for shoppers strolling through Santana Row; convenient, tasty, and just what you need to keep your day going! read more

Service here is great. They are well staffed and everyone here is very friendly. When I came here at around 7PM there were two guys and a girl working. This cafe is very lively and very family oriented. They will greet you by your name especially if you are a repeat customer. They are mellow and enjoyable to talk to. The drinks are pretty good. The Chai Latte is sweeter than I expected. It was like cotton candy. so ask them for adjustments and they will do it accordingly. I would give them 4.5 stars for it. They offered me the matcha shot. The matcha shot though was perfect. Excellent texture, strong taste. Definitely recommend. Overall this cafe is really nice. read more

We had a blast at this new restaurant on Santana Row! Shout out to our waiter Jesus for doing an amazing job and making our experience so enjoyable! Also, thank you to Michael for the complimentary caramel cup! The portion sizes were good and the prices weren't too bad. Everyone was extremely nice and very professional. I look forward to coming back! The Roasted Branzino was amazing. There was a small amount of bones but definitely worth it. The fish was so soft yet the skin was really crispy! The Roasted Mushroom Tart was also delicious. Perfect to share with another person. The fried chicken and caviar was recommended and I was so glad that we got it. The chicken tenders went perfectly with the caviar and crème fraiche. Also that was a really good amount of caviar for the price. I enjoyed the Savory Dungeness Crab Donuts but I probably wouldn't get it again so that I could try other dishes. The cheese cake was phenomenal! A must try! It was in between a normal cheesecake and a fluffy Japanese cheesecake. Really amazing! Finally the cookie was a good way to end the meal! read more

Augustine was featured on Santana Row IG I thought what better way to spend International Women's Day with a fancy coffee/pastry. Little did I know I arrived during the soft opening and Augustine had a very generous event where unexpectedly everything you wanted to try was on the house. Most things were sold out it was a busy Saturday line was out the door. The team was so patient and organized. Even with all the chaos they were friendly and well trained on how to handle the crowd. They gave great suggestions so we picked up the best of the best items that were available. World's most decadent, delicious Chocolate banana loaf TO DIE FOR! I am not a chocolate fan but my friend is and encouraged me to try it I could not stop eating it~~~!!! DIVINE!! The chocolate is so subtle you really have the full banana bread experience and I was loving it so much. HIGHLY recommend if you love bananas and perfectly made fresh out of the oven tasting loaf cake. Lemon Tart - I LOOVE lemons this one was for me at first was not sure I was going to like this since it has a meringue looking topping but this was so delicious the crust was so perfect and it was packed with lemon flavor not that artifical lemon flavor but freshly picked lemons. I had the same experience with the LEMON MACARON perfectly made, full of lemon flavor again not the artificial stuff but real lemons. I love lemons so I am really excited to find a place that makes a delicious lemon dessert. Iced Matcha- made with house made syrups (I added splash of Vanilla) it was all so perfect. I am very impressed and I will be going back real soon to taste something new but I will be so conflicted to pick up the lemon treats or that delicious Banana bread again. Loved the color scheme and simple decor. Perfect location next to the fountain located right next to Left Bank Brasserie. It looks like there will be a restaurant in front of the cafe, I am so excited to see what they will be serving there. read more

One of the better, restaurants located at Santana Row. We ordered a bunch of food and they all tasted great. I enjoyed the brussel sprouts and the calamari ala plancha. As you can see on the photos, we ordered and tried a lot of food, ALL of them were well prepared and plated. The caviar with the potato chips is a must! Scallops cooked to perfection. The drink I had was old fashioned and it was perhaps the best old fashioned I've had in Santana Row. Note: we are at Santana Row every week! Ambiance and service was nice. I would like to say that this place is upscale-casual. No doubt, this is my favorite restaurant at the Santana Row! read more

Came here for Saturday lunch during Super Bowl weekend. There was a thirty minute wait and we used this time to walk around. We got a text in less than thirty minutes and were seated outside the restaurant, not the patio seating. The seated cushion bench was comfortable. Instead of water being refilled throughout our time, we received a large bottle of still and sparkling. Our server would still refill our glasses when she would pass by. We ordered the gem lettuce salad, the description on the website is not the same as the menu. The gem lettuce salad we had was a Waldorf salad with light dressing. The citrus cured salmon tartare was light and the puffed rice added a texture contrast with the soft cubed salmon. The Augustine burger was cut in half for us, which was perfect. The shoestring fries with the garlic aioli was good but not $9 good for just a side. Augustine restaurant service was great. We grabbed dessert and coffee at their cafe next door. The caramel crème puff was aesthetically pleasing. The tropical dessert wasn't too sweet and it's not a soft cake texture. The menu for both change seasonally. I don't know how the inside looks, take advantage of eating outdoors when the weather is nice. read more

Elevated dining experience on the Row. Dined indoors early on a Friday night. The interior is chic with a classy ambiance. Dishes are served in shareable portions, however by the last course we were stuffed and had to take most of the pork shank home. The evening started with fried chicken and caviar with a glass of champagne and ended with the Basque cheesecake. The wine list is extensive and priced fairly. They also host monthly wine dinners! I would have like the dishes explained as they were presented as an added touch. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

New restaurants always scare me cause I am big on service/experience so I was hesitant to book my husband's birthday dinner here with our foodie/wine friends but I was pleasantly surprised and delighted at how great our night went at a place that has only been open a few months! It takes a lot for me to whip out my computer to write a review but this one is well-deserved from a customer service perspective! **Hightlights** - Easy to book on Opentable - Location in SR was easy to get to, right over the parking garage - Ambiance for an adult dinner night out A+ - Quick greeting and check-in - Balanced menu selection with family style dishes that are more on the elegant side - Friendly service from front of house and servers, especially their sommelier, Rubel! Our selections - - Italian Black Truffle Fries - 10 stars! We are major french frie connoisseurs! - Oyster appetizer, nice starter for dinner with 6 to a serving - Crab Donuts - better than expected! - Gem Lettuce Salad, crisp with a great dressing - Branzino - nicely deboned, slightly on the dryer side for a branzino - Pork Shank - fell off the bone with a delicious salsa verde - American Waygu Flank Steak - perfectly cooked to medium rare - Duck Leg Cannelloni - very enjoyable! - Squash side dish - good flavor but pricey for a small serving sharable side dish - Desserts - Chocolate Chip Cookie, Chocolate Mouse, Strawberry Shortcake, Basque Cheesecake - all good but the savory menu definitely carried the dinner Special celebration so we brought our own wine with a $35 corkage per 750ML, but the Sommelier (Rubel) was delightful and made sure our special vintage bottles were good to drink before serving. His service alone deserved 10 stars:) Overall, good new addition to SR, worth a try! read more

It was our first time swinging by Augustine today and it might be the last. The service was slow considering we went right when they opened at 11:30am. We were under the impression we could order brunch based off of the website, but were unfortunately informed it's only on Saturday and Sunday. For my drink, I ordered a clarified Long Island. It was probably one of the best long islands I've ever had. A downside is that it took 30 min for our drinks to get to us. For my entree, I ordered the spicy cavatelli. I was a little skeptical, but it was pretty stinking delicious. It wasn't spicy at all which worked out for me. I also added chicken with it. The seasoning of the chicken wasn't very good and was lacking flavor. If I ever did come back, it would just be for the pasta and Long Island though. Our server, Jose, was very nice and super knowledgeable of the menu. read more

Came for dinner with my partner for Valentine's day. Our initial table was outside and no where near a heater so I asked if we could move. We were promptly moved inside and it was much better. We started with the dungeness crab doughnuts and our server asked if we would like to add 1 to make it 4 in our order and we said yes. Glad we did because they were DELICIOUS! The avocado toast, roasted cauliflower, and duck confit were also good. We ended up skipping dessert and finishing with another round of the dungeness crab doughnuts. read more

If you're looking for a brunch spot in Santana Row that feels like it was flown straight out of Beverly Hills, this is it. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is elevated yet welcoming--modern décor with a touch of glam that makes you feel like you're in Los Angeles' most exclusive dining scene. The service is truly five-star. Every detail is thought of, from the warm greeting at the door to the seamless attention throughout the meal. You don't feel rushed, just genuinely cared for. The brunch menu is equally impressive--fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. Every dish feels crafted, not just made. Think avocado toast elevated to art, perfectly poached eggs, decadent pastries, and cocktails that look as good as they taste. This isn't your casual weekend spot--it's an experience. Whether you're celebrating, impressing out-of-town friends, or simply want to treat yourself, this restaurant raises the bar for brunch in Silicon Valley.

I ordered a tarte that was filled with cream and jam that and a macchiato, both of which were delicious on a nice sunny morning. Wait time in general is average and the staff are friendly, there wasn't much people in the morning but maybe it was because it was early. They have plenty of seats outside to enjoy people watching while enjoying your coffee.
