They serve mimosas and Bloody Mary's, which was a non-negotiable for the group outing :) I ordered a tuna melt with cottage cheese, and others ordered brekky and some comforting apps. I noticed the 'Famous Bajis Smoothie' and 'Famous Bajis Shake' that looked super yum, but I ordered a mimosa and bottomless brewed coffee cup (for dining in). They ran out of their branded mugs or I would have snapped a shot of those! They have everything here! Brekky, authentic Mexican breakfast, salads, burgers, sausage sandwiches, veggie options, kiddo menu, and dessert..coffee cake à la mode? Maybe if we're in town again! Parking lot provided, service quick and efficient...seems like this is a poppin' spot and was filling up as the morning hours passed. Sales tax added to the price of all food and bev served.

Carte Blanche is cute, convenient and cozy! Located in the Shashi Hotel in Mountain View this…read morelittle spot serves up coffee, tea, juice shots and pastries. Iced Latte - solid cup, with an option of milk alternatives and syrups. Price is typical for the Bay Area, $6-7 a drink. Not too crowded the morning I was here so service was quick and seamless. My drink was well made and tasted great. Wish they had more food offerings, since The Emerald Hour and Broma hours aren't open until later in the day. Lots of bright seating in the the main ordering area, but more seating in the lobby that's perfect hanging out or working. Complimentary parking (and charging) in the hotel structure and street parking.

Overall solid fresh food (pricey but I guess normal for the area), knocked off a star for coffee being very average and service being less enthusiastic or friendly than I expected. AMBIANCE We came down for breakfast in the early morning to grab a quick hot breakfast and coffee and it was easy enough to get to and solid hours for the working folks. Fairly quiet spot and just the usual buzz of folks taking calls or having chit chat with coffee. It's right inside the Shashi Hotel and has a clean minimalist feel. There's indoor seating (about 3-4 tables) within the cafe but most folks just found a spot within the hotel dining area with more booths and long tables for coworking, and tables by the fireside, or outside by the pool. It's pretty comfortable spot to work in though some of the floor charging ports were often a trip hazard! SERVICE You order at the counter...(and can't say the folks taking the order didn't seem particularly enthusiastic working there but otherwise we got what we ordered and all substitution requests were honored), take a numbered placard, and sit down wherever you want. We dined in but you can obviously get to-go. In 10-15 minutes or so, the staff bring your food out to the table, which is pretty efficient and keeps things casual. Food was prepared quickly, arrived hot and well-presented, and they bring you silverware -- which is ideal if you're trying to grab breakfast before meetings or a flight! The overall atmosphere is calm and polished "urban resort lobby café" than crowded street coffee shop, which fits well if you're staying at the hotel or meeting colleagues nearby. FOOD The breakfast menu leans toward elevated kind of price-y but limited. There's only 4 main breakfast items (if you're not a pastry person in the morning). As an aside, the pastries in the case also didn't look super fresh. While limited in menu, everything we tried tasted fresh and was pretty solid -- a bit pricey but hey for the speed and fresh, healthy feel it was fine. The avocado toast came on hearty sourdough with scrambled eggs and bright toppings (loved the edamame in the salad), making it feel more like a full meal. The pork sausage breakfast bowl was solid too with scrambled eggs, potatoes, spinach, cheddar, avocado, salsa, and a touch of habanero heat that made it comforting but still interesting. The fruit and yogurt bowl balanced things out nicely with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, granola, and honey, so you can go lighter if you don't want something heavy first thing in the morning! Would recommend this or the avocado toast if you're looking for something lighter but want to get the greens in.

FOOD: Chorizo Burrito (7/10) - Well cooked, and burrito doesnt fall apart. Salsa is also really good! Would recommend Orange Juice (8/10) - Really really good and definitely freshly squeezed!

We found Papas and Eggs while passing through Mountain View during a long day of travel and were…read morecraving some comfort food. What a great find. The restaurant is small and cozy, and on the day we visited there was only one server handling the dining room, packing to-go orders, making coffee, and even mixing Bloody Marys. Service was a little slow at times, but it was easy to see how hard she was working, and both the coffee and Bloody Marys were absolutely worth the wait. We ordered the chicken and waffles, a sausage omelet with hash browns, and a kids' scrambled eggs and bacon plate. The portions were huge, and everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The standout was the chicken and waffles. Instead of smaller pieces, it came with a full chicken breast that appeared to be hand battered in-house. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy on the inside with a perfectly crisp coating on the outside. It paired beautifully with the waffles and was one of the best versions of the dish we've had in a long time. The omelet was packed with flavor, the hash browns were cooked just right, and even the kids' meal was generously sized. More than anything, we appreciated how this little breakfast stop turned an ordinary travel day into something memorable. Good food, generous portions, and genuine hospitality can make all the difference when you're on the road. Papas and Eggs made our travels better, and we'll definitely stop again the next time we're passing through Mountain View.

I ordered the fried egg sandwich on an everything bagel, and it completely hit the spot. It came with fresh fruit and beautifully sliced avocado that was perfectly ripe (which feels like winning the lottery itself sometimes, tbh lol!) The food was fresh, the coffee was great, and everyone was kind and welcoming. It's also a comfortable place to sit for a bit, whether you're catching up with a friend or, in my case, sharing breakfast with a tiny human who kept me thoroughly entertained. We sat outside and people watched, and it was overall a lovely detour turned nanny-friendly brunch We'll definitely be back

It's very pretty spot (though…read morethe lids and stuff as such are at an awkward spot from the pick up and trash bins. ) I had ordered a vanilla latter iced, strawberry matcha iced, doggy treat, and salted caramel mini muffin. The drinks were not good - at first I did not know they were out of the strawberry flavoring so I was offered to substitute with orange or vanilla and went with the safe route of vanilla. Wrong choice, the matcha itself was not good for the price. Both drinks were actually on the watery side but the coffee wasn't as bad as the matcha (I honestly drank the coffee with a mint flavored gum and it reminded me of the mint mojito from Philz - so I was able to drink it) The muffin I think was a little sweet but my partner actually really enjoyed it and I liked the size of it because it wasn't a lot but he was still able to enjoy it for what it was. The doggy treat was on the harder side but other than that my dog really enjoyed the treat which is saying something as she can be picky. Overall price for quality was too much imo especially since the drinks were really bad.

It remains clean, friendly staff, constantly changing menu, and pricing that is reasonable especially compared to the adjacent hospital cafeteria which is like airport prices on steroids. What compelled this update? Yep another excellent burger. Bacon Cheese Burger with Egg: This was glorious and resulted in a change in my ongoing burger standings. The bun was fresh and sturdy. The patty well seasons and despite being on the thin side was juicy, the grilled onions added a savory sweet element to the affair. The arugula was a perfect way to offset all that richness and add a bit of peppery crunch to each bite. Lastly bacon was well it just did what bacon does to anything.. make it better Onion rings: Perfectly fried with a nice crunch. The batter to onion ratio was spot on as well.
