I definitely wanted to take the time to write this review based on my experience at this cute little spot in Menlo Park. I flew in for a 2 day work trip into Silicon Valley and stayed at Hotel Nia which is a town over. I stumbled upon this cafe on a whim looking through options to have some food before heading to Palo Alto and so happy I did! The location was a little strange to find as it was located inside a very corporate business center but the lovely thing about it was all the free parking. The property in itself is aesthetically pleasing and a lot of open space which I was later informed by one of the cafe managers can be rented out for private events or business meetings which is great for future endeavors* They had a full coffee bar for an afternoon pick me up, and a delicious lunch menu. I opted for the portabello sandwich which was perfectly executed. The sandwich was explosive in flavor loaded with crisp and fresh veggies paired with some French fries of course Service was fast and amicable and prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back soon!!!

New Business Alert!! This restaurant serves American breakfast and lunch fares in the Stanford business park in MP! They literally just opened and it's a beautiful space with inside and outside seating ! So far I have had the chicken and veggies and it's been tender and flavorful! Staff is amazing and very friendly! Parking is plentiful ! Clean amenities and they offer fruit infused water ! Highly recommend but bring card not cash !!! They don't accept cash :)

The customer service is very good. The food is pretty good, but the portions are small for the price. Employees are very nice.

Hands down my absolute favorite place for bread! Everything here is fresh, high-quality, and…read moreartfully made. I haven't tried it yet, but I love that they offer a simple dine-in cafe menu with breakfast and lunch items that look fantastic. Country Loaf ($13.00): Literally my favorite bread around. It is so unbelievably good, soft, and fresh with the perfect sourdough texture. They also offer specialty versions of this (like olives/cheese, or cranberry/nut) Lemon Poppyseed Tea Cake ($6.00): I absolutely loved this! Perfectly moist, bright, and delicious. Would go great with coffee. Pastries & Croissants ($6.00 - $8.00): Every single pastry is beautifully crafted, super fresh, and incredibly flaky. They also feature fun, unique specialty creations like their mango croissants!

Oooh - my new favorite brunch lunch spot in downtown Redwood City!!…read more I love a place that has both good coffee and tons of food options. So many delicious fresh food options. We loved that each dish came with the freshest bread, you can see them making fresh bread in the open kitchen. The breakfast sandwich was perfect. You can get it with either bacon or avocado. The turkey sandwich was also excellent - that sun dried tomato jam that it came with was to die for, I wish I could bring a jar home to put on bread! I enjoyed migraine salad that came with kale, farro, squash, feta. Again loved the crisp fresh bread it had on the side too ! Granola bowl was great - with fruit and homemade Granola, personally I like that it wasn't too sweet like there wasn't a honey or sweetener drizzle. Coffee and espresso drinks were very good , will definitely be back to try more dishes ! There was a constant line to order, but from ordering to getting food wasn't too bad at around 20 minutes . Table seating indoor is limited with the amount of customers they have, but there is also some indoor bar top seating along the kitchen and more outdoor tables.

I ate everything and I could really taste the banana flavor! So yummy! Now that I don't eat pancakes that often. The service was good. We had to wait in a long line since this cafe is so popular. The line went quickly so we didn't have to wait that long. Since this cafe is so popular, finding a table to eat took several minutes. We had to patiently wait for one of the employees to clean our table before we used the table. The sound level could be loud since there's a lot of people here. I highly recommend this place if you want something good to eat, but you may have to spend a little time to find a table to eat at since this place is so popular.

I love me some good coffee!! Found this place randomly while visiting and glad I stumbled upon it…read more The line was a little long but it moves pretty quick. There's a few tables and chairs to enjoy your drink and/or pastry and it's shaded. The patio is pet friendly. We ordered the iced filter coffee and it was nice, strong and smooth. We also got their seasonal flavor orange cream latte and it was so delicious. The orange was light in flavor but enough to taste the orange notes and the consistency with the whole milk was decadent. Not too sweet. Definitely will come back when in the area again.

Certainly a neighborhood feel with dogs, strollers, and the typical guys on laptops. There was only one seat available and it was positioned in the back row facing the crowd. FWIW: I'm not a coffee sage who demand specific regions, roast or rules. Flight: cold brew, cortado, shot and latte. No sugar. Two types of beans with cards describing where they come from and what flavors to expect. Experience was pleasant, even though the place was crowded. The coffees themselves were just ok. I was told what order to drink them in and I finished (90%), all but the iced version - something about the light roast with sour notes really put me off. Reasons to return: People watching- excellent. So many strollers with human and canines in them. Stayed for 1.5 hrs Coffee- good. Didn't love everything they served but they were purposeful in teaching about beans and prep. Service- fine. Person taking the order was lovely, person serving the order was clinical. No smiles on this guy.

I finally had the pleasure of going here, and it wasn't too busy. The person who took my order was super nice and helpful in narrowing down items to try. Everything here is made to order, so they do recommend using the app. Especially if you are in a hurry. I ordered: 1. Vietnamese coffee with salted cream: Surprisingly, this was a little sweet to me. I do recommend sipping it, instead of drinking it through a straw to get the full flavor. 2. Croffle w/ nutella: This was crispy and chewy. The nutella gave it a messy yumminess 3. Egg, cheese, and bacon croissant: This was delicious and surprisingly it didn't have that greasy oily feeling. It is very hearty. 4. Perfect green smoothie: My co-worker loved this and found it very delicious. Perfect balance of all the items. I look forward to coming back soon and will pre-order next time.

Brew Coffee and Bakery was within a nice walking distance from my hotel so I made the short 15 minute trek over. There's a good amount of space inside to sit and enjoy your beverage, but seems like most of the people in the morning was here to grab something to go. We were able to catch up for a good while without feeling like someone needed our table or that we were overstaying our welcome here. I tried the regular size of their Iced Hojicha Latte ($7). Yum. Loved the taste and it was just the right amount of caffeine I needed to start my day of travel and heading home!
