Terrific group breakfast in this cute cafe in the heart of Saratoga's village. Extremely attentive servers and ample hot food. It would not be unexpected that in a large party at least one egg order would be wrong - but not this time! Pancakes were an unexpected but tasty addition, and we all left happy. Well worth a try! read more

Me and a couple of friends came here on Sunday morning before going to see a movie at AMC Saratoga. My friends got there before me and were seated on the patio ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK. Seriously we were like the last table in the place. There were some fans on but it was still pretty warm back there. After waiting for about 10 minutes and me beginning to think we had been forgotten about a guy came and took our order. I got the Crab Benedict and Sangria. The food came and the crab cakes were mostly breading and not much crab meat. The eggs were a bit over cooked so the yolks were pretty set. The potatoes were a tiny portion, about a half cup. You definitely aren't getting stuffed here. Probably good if you're on a diet. The Sangria was pretty bland and just tasted like juice. Didn't even taste the wine. The server never once checked on us. The only times we saw him was when he took our order and when he brought the check. So the food here is meh and the service sucks. I wouldn't come back here. One last thing, when we were leaving and walked past the other tables on the patio, it was MUCH cooler near the front of the restaurant. Not sure why we got stuck in the back "oven" area. read more

My brunch at Bell Tower Café wasn't too great, and a variety of issues contributed. Next time I'm in Saratoga, I might check out the competition. I expect that Sundays will be busy, but given the actual size of the crowd, I don't think 30+ minutes is acceptable. The staff were friendly enough, at least. The building is charming & historic. However, our outside table, although shaded, was bizarrely warm. It felt like there was a heater turned on, although we were told that it's just how it is. As for the drinks, I thought the mocha was very mediocre. However, the coffee from the pot is adequate, so maybe for your caffeine source, skip the espresso. Now on to the food. The Famous Santa Cruz Crêpe looks nice but is overhyped. The salmon was too salty, yet the shrimp is underseasoned. The onions aren't that appealing either. The egg & crepe were fine at least, so maybe other menu items are better. read more

We came here for lunch after our hike and it was a decent choice. We sat at the outdoor patio since we had our pups with us. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict, it came with avocados, eggs, and hollandaise sauce. The overall flavor was good and I'm glad I ordered it. The hash browns and fresh fruit were alright sides. Overall, this was a decent spot we picked, although not somewhere I would drive out of my way to visit. read more

Cute little Cafe. I dont know why the dry cleaners has 10 empty parking spots reserved outside, but apparently they like unused land. We parked on the street. First thing I noticed is coffee was really good. Food was fresh, tasty, and plentiful. I had the crab cake Benedict, and we had a Santa Cruz crepe and avocado toast with lox. Plenty of lox, along with everything else. Usually crab cake Benedicts are too salty, but this was actually under spiced in my opinion. Not bad, you can control the salt, but since I never add salt, it was a bit bland. The crab didnt jump out either, it was just a bit mushy and hard to taste. Still good, and healthy. I would kick it up a notch though! All in all, nice brunch and I would return to try their omelets. read more

I tried the fried chicken steak. The texture was interesting -- it was crispy, but for me it tasted a bit too much like flour. It was also on the salty side for my preference. The rest of the dish was okay, and the portion was decent. Service was good, which I appreciated. Overall, it wasn't my favorite because of the seasoning, but the experience was still pleasant. read more

Bell Tower Cafe has a lot of potential and a really nice foundation--the location and atmosphere are genuinely charming and it feels like it could be a great neighborhood go-to spot. Unfortunately, the experience and food just doesn't quite live up to that promise yet. The menu sounds great on paper, but the execution is inconsistent, and the food can feel hit-or-miss depending on the visit. Service is friendly, but often a bit unorganized, which adds to the feeling that things aren't fully dialed in yet. I really hope they refine a few things because this place could be so good with a little more consistency and attention to detail. I'd still give it another try in the future because the potential is definitely there. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning after Pilates with 2 friends. We were sat immediately and were able to pick a table. The place feels like an old diner kinda experience but still cute for brunch. We got waters to start and the waiters were quick to take our orders. I ordered a carnitas Benedict and we got a red velvet pancake to share for the table. Our food came out one at a time so it took a little bit of time. My friend ordered a breakfast burrito without cheese and when she got it and it had cheese in it so the had to remake it. Either way the food was SO good. I ate my whole meal and a lot of the pancake that was meant to be shared the waiters were pretty friendly and it ended up being a nice pretty budget friendly restaurant. Will be back! read more

Cute location in Downtown Saratoga walking distance from any street parking. We sat outside and had a view of the street. The food was well portioned for the price. All three of us cleared our plates because it was so scrumptious. The prices were a little higher than I expected for a breakfast place but it was good. It averaged to $30 a person with everyone getting coffee. The bread was the perfect amount of crispy and the salad was fresh. I'd eat here again. Good service: got checked on about 3 times. Very nice time. Their cups are mason jars which was nice and rustic. read more

Really great option for a local brunch! Went there on Sunday around noon, and we got seated immediately. Outdoor sitting area is very pleasant. We ordered two omelettes and a sandwich, and the food was delicious. The meals were sizable- portions were good for the price. Great location- right in downtown Saratoga! We loved eating here and then walking around downtown. read more

Such a cute restaurant!! The food was amazing - actual eggs and not some watery egg mixture! Really good, attentive, and kind wait staff. Delicious food!! We went during a busy time and waited an unusually long time to eat but the staff was so kind and apologetic that they made up for it! My only advice to the restaurant is to update their bathrooms, it was a little rough - but didn't take away from the experience! Will definitely be going back! read more

Belltower has long been a favorite--with its welcoming and friendly service as well as comfortable seating, there is a lot to love. In my last several visits I have been struck by the lack of seasoning in the dishes I have ordered. Most recently I was served a totally bland egg and "squishy" French toast with overripe banana slices. The toast should have a nice little crust and softer interior but mine was just a mess. I have also noticed that other dishes have been uniformly flavorless. So disappointed! read more

My brother and I eat here at least once a month. Love this place. The soups are always good as is everything else. If you're lucky you'll be served by Miguel or Lupe who help make dining a great experience. I hear Bell Tower is under new ownership, hopefully nothing changes. Best deal the half sandwich with soap or salad. read more

We went there on a hot Sunday noon . The waiter showed us our way to the side patio seats, to our surprise the space heater was on on a very hot day , as soon as we noticed we asked to be seated inside as the waiter didn't bother to turn the heater off . We were seated inside but the restaurant didn't have AC on ( only fans ) and they have an open kitchen right across the seating area . The cooking smell and the heat coming from the kitchen made the whole experience unbearable. If you can't have the AC on do not have an open kitchen right next to the tables . Food was average, nothing great about it . I would definitely avoid going there on a warm day as clearly they don't have AC ! read more

Bell Tower is an adorable cafe with extensive outdoor seating, an open kitchen inside, and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. I got the strawberry crepes and my friend got the deep-fried breakfast burrito. The crepe itself had an excellent texture but was a tad bland. However the presentation with the orchid flower was a feast for my eyes. Overall, I highly recommend it for breakfast/brunch in Saratoga. read more

We had a lovely breakfast here at Bell Tower Care. We ordered eggs Benedict, strawberries crepe, and cappuccino. Everything was delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. It is a huge cafe!l with outdoor seatings. They have wisteria trellis on the side by the fence which I think would be lovely when it's blooming. We didn't get to see it since we are early in the season. Late May or June would be a great time for an outdoor brunch here. read more

Cute cafe with outdoor/ patio seating. We came during Saturday noon time and the place was bustling. Staff were a bit disorganized with seating and we had to wait quite a while. It was a warm day and the heater may have been on in the outdoor seating area making the place feel like a sauna. Chicken and waffle - average chicken and waffle, slightly expensive considering the quality of the dish read more

Came here after I picked up my sister from School. Place was pretty empty since it was a Thursday afternoon. We were greeted and they told us to choose our sit. Which was nice to choose your own seat since it was empty. Got the menus and couldn't decide what to get. what we order and rating: -Cappuccino 4/5 -Fresh OJ 3/5 -Build my own Omelet 4/5 -Carnitas Bendict 4/5 Overall, service was fast and food was good. The only con would be that they dont have their own parking. read more

We came here a couple times and lately the service has been getting a bit slow. It took a while for a server to get our order and waiting a much longer time to receive our food as well. Our server barely made eye contact with us whenever we spoke to him too. The food however is still pretty good! Just wished that the service was as good as it was the first time time we went. read more

I have eaten here for both lunch and breakfast in both were excellent meals Good atmosphere and friendly service.

Food was pretty good. Service was terrible. We had to flag down a waiter and when he finally came over was not in a good mood. Will not return. read more

By far, the BEST breakfast I've had! The service is also so amazing! Peaceful ambience, very clean and excellent service! Not sure why this place isn't rated a 5. Everything was absolutely perfect! The restaurant was very clean as well as the restrooms. The food came out so quick and was delicious! Perfect breakfast spot! read more

Super cute cafe in saratoga. Parking was available on the street near by. There was indoor and outdoor seating (with heaters). I got the Florentine Benedict with hash browns and it was good pretty heavy as well. The banana french toast was very nice and not too sweet either. If you're looking for a cute breakfast/brunch spot this is good- pretty average though for the price. read more

Casual dress is ok. I like the Food fare and the service is great. Really cute place. I like the peach sangria and mimosas As well.

Cute looking cafe from outside as well as from inside. We sat outside with heaters during the end of Nov. Hot Mocha was just average, I wish it was more intense. Carnitas Benedict was good. Poached eggs with runny yolk, portions were fair, food was pleasant to look at but somehow it seemed to be missing something to be great. read more

Ordered the Philly cheesesteak omelette and it arrived with no cheese - I explained this to the server and they insisted it had cheese in it but I think I know what cheese looks and tastes like. They took it away saying they'd fix it - it returned with a single slice of cheese melted on top - absolutely pathetic read more

I heard good things from a friend about this place, but I was totally disappointed for the following reason: 1- waited 20 minutes before our order was taken. 2- waited 30 minutes for omelets to arrive. Person who got the order, lost it and was embarrassed to come back and retake the order. After yelling to the manager as to why our order was not in, he said, they lost it and he was going to send another waiter to retake our order. It took one hour to get our plates. 3- coffee, 3 different people asked us and no one delivered. I had to scream at the manager to get us coffee. We got it after 15 minutes. 4- total lack of coordination. 5- lousy food. 3 of us left very unhappy 6- my advice, go somewhere else read more

What a gem! So happy to have found this place. We used to go to Bobby's in Cupertino but once they closed we didn't have a cute little diner/ brekkie spot so we are happy now. The service was exceptional and with a smile. Food was delicious. Eggs Benedict options were plentiful and chicken and waffles were delicious per my spouse. Accessible by wheelchair which made it perfect for a celebration with grandma. Thanks Bell Tower! read more

Basic food. We tried the avocado toast which is same as you'd make at home in 5mins. The Nutella crepe was missing Nutella, and a decent crepe. Persian egg white omelette was surprisingly good. Red velvet waffle was again a disappointment. Service was decent, ambiance is fresh and very much suited for breakfasts n brunches read more

Cute and comfy cafe! I've been here multiple times and every time was great! The first time I was here, we had just finished an engagement photoshoot at Hakone Gardens. It was in the morning, so it was around brunch time once we were done. We found this place on Yelp and saw all the great reviews and photos of the food they served so we decided to try it! The second time I was here, my family and I were in downtown Los Gatos to get some coffee. We worked up an appetite walking around and I remembered Bell Tower Cafe! We got there after lunch so it wasn't crowded. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. Service both times were good, just a little slow even when it wasn't so busy. They didn't seem to be short-staffed or anything, so that was a little odd. I believe the second time I was here, our food took a little over 20 minutes. Hopefully, they can figure out what the blocker might be so there's quicker service next time around. The only downside about coming here is that there's no parking. There's a parking lot next door to them but it specifically says on the signs that the parking lot is for the small businesses in that little plaza, which Bell Tower Cafe is not part of. So there's pretty much only street parking. The good is great here, so we'll continue to come back but most likely at a time that isn't as busy so we can find parking. read more

This is a popular brunch spot in Saratoga serving standard breakfast fare alongside sandwiches and burgers. The menu is quite varied, with many appealing options, and there's a really nice outdoor space. For food, I split: - CALIFORNIA BENEDICT ($17): bacon, tomato, avocado, and poached eggs on an English muffin topped with hollandaise sauce - BREAKFAST BURRITO ($17): 4 eggs, ham, cheese, and ham with a side of hash browns Ultimately, portions were decent and the plating was attractive, but I found the flavors a bit underwhelming. The breakfast burrito in particular felt bland, dry, and one-note, and could have used some kind of aioli and crunch (I'm always an advocate of tater tots in breakfast burritos...). The eggs Benedict and hash browns were standard and not particularly flavorful, but solid enough. read more

Quant little hole in the wall. Decorated to the hilt with xmas decore inside and out. Service was very good, not rushed , we got seated right away. Ordered coffee and water. Moments later the waitress too our order(5). After small talk amongst friends, our food came out except one which was prepared wrong but the waitress rectified that order quickly. For a Friday morning this place was just busy enough to keep the staff busy. Menu item prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend this establishment! read more

We just went on a morning hike at Sanborn park and were in the mood for breakfast. My fiancé suggested this place because he had been here a long time ago. The place looks old fashioned but they've updated it to be nice and bright and modern. We both ordered the steak and eggs. I ordered my steak to ge medium rare and eggs over easy. Both were perfectly cooked. The steak had nice charring from the grill. The only downside was that we waited for about 30 min for our food. We were starving! read more

The outside patio is kept warm, which can hardly be said about the wait staff. Rude, dismissive and argumentative. Our waiter argued with us about what the menu clearly said.
