The Biscoff pancakes are a real crowd favorite--every time I've visited, someone at my table has ordered them, and they never disappoint. On my multiple visits, I've also enjoyed the delicious pancakes, French toast, and eggs Benedict. My friends have raved about the sandwiches they had. I absolutely love the outdoor seating, surrounded by lush plants and greenery, making it feel like you're dining in a little garden. I've only been there on weekends, which means it's usually quite busy, but in a lively rather than overwhelming way. There's always a line, but it's short and moves quickly. The longest wait I've experienced was about 15 to 20 minutes, which is quite reasonable. Overall, it's definitely worth it to visit and try out the food!

I originally thought I would have the breakfast sandwich, but ended up getting the classic two egg breakfast. My eggs were poached perfectly, the blueberry pancakes were topped with fresh blueberries, and powdered sugar with just combined together, took the flavors to the next level. The bacon was absolutely divine, but let's talk about the potatoes. They were buttery, crisp, fully flavored homestyle potatoes that make you want to put potatoes into their own food group. The service was great, the food was great, and this is definitely a restaurant that needs to be explored because everything on the menu sounds absolutely delicious! Parking was fairly easy, and I'm really excited to return and try more of the menu items.

That chocolate shake was fire. My two-year-old and I split it along with a breakfast sandwich and still walked out defeated. In a good way. This place has been in the same family since 1923, which in Palo Alto terms makes it a geological formation. Red-and-white checkerboard everything, no reinvention, no deconstructed anything. Just a breakfast sandwich that tastes like a breakfast sandwich and a shake thick enough to make you work for it. Bring a toddler. Bring a grandparent. Bring an appetite you've been building all week. Go to the creamery.

Finally, stopped by for a lunch with a friend Food 3.5/5: I ordered a warm veggie dirt sandwich on a sourdough. Every ingredient tasted fresh and clean which is great. I think the serving size was just right for me but could be smaller for most people as I eat less. It's priced reasonably for the Bay Area prices. It wasn't a standout sandwich but it does the job. Service 5/5: service is very good. They are responsive, and friendly. They let you take the time to make your mind and to amend an order without getting annoyed. Ambiance 5/5: got a rustic vibe at the store, their history as a dairy store and the cool pictures. I enjoyed just being there and imagining what it may have been like back in those days

It was savory and lightly salted and caramelized in all the right ways. I also had the Millionaire's bacon, which wasn't overly sweet and perfect with my breakfast. The ambiance is friendly and professional, and the decor shows that it's a bit more of an upscale place--which was reflected in the service I received.

Vibe was chill, there were a few table of customers there so that was a positive sign. They were out of ingredient for the entree that I initially wanted, so I went with salmon risotto.

The salmon was very good though - this is coming from a non-salmon lover.

My boyfriend and I split the garden omelette meal (which we ask for as a scramble instead). There are jams on the table and a variety of hot sauces. We ask them to provide sugar free syrup and they bring it to the table. Brunch egg dishes come with crispy hash browns and a choice of a side of toast or get this, pancakes! So you get a whole extra order if you choose the buttermilk pancakes as a side. I see people come in with their kiddo and order an omelette and give them the pancakes. Aside from Spot Pizza across the street which sells delicious affordable slices for lunch, you won't find many meal deals on this street. The folks who work at this Holder's are friendly and on top of things while respecting your space. Your coffee cup will not be empty for long. They are well equipped to serve older folks and have accessible tables at both the front and rear entrances. Lots of regulars here. The place is always bright and clean and has booths as well as stand alone tables which can be put together to accommodate larger groups. It's a great no frills, restaurant which consistently serves good food and seats folks promptly all day long.

Didn't make any difference since our server Jose was a new face, and sorely hurting in his job description? He messed up my toast order, stating I had ordered sourdough and this was around 3 seconds after I ordered whole wheat toast. Really? There were only 2 of us and the place was not busy. HAM & EGGS $18.50 served with hashbrowns & toast (your choice) ~ nice generous cut of ham. Warm smokey, pork aroma and taste. Eggs over medium were prepared correctly, but they didn't appear fresh, which was a disappointment as in prior visits nice yellow yokes sitting high and proud. Hashbrowns and toast were a major letdown. Tears all around, as potatoes were barely brown while the rest of the potatoes were white and just warm. Some of the toast was just brown but not really toasted. TIP: order hashbrowns CRISPY, on your own with the toast. VERY BERRY FRENCH TOAST $17.50 for the Duchess. Proudly and incessantly proclaiming its wonders ad nauseum, the Duchess truly loved her dish. She was apparently overwhelmed with the copious amounts of fruits, blue berries and strawberries, whipped cream, which were accented by a light covering of powdered sugar. She was a bit dubious about the big scoop of butter and not asking for the whipped cream on the side, left us wondering if this will be the norm now. DRINKS - 1 Hot Chocolate $4.50 for the lady and 1 Coffee $4.50 for your writer. Duchess thought her order was too sweet and will not order again. I believe they've upgraded the coffee as it was passible. I do wish they had honey packets on the table. AMBIENCE - American diner, wouldn't do first or romantic date. Wow, I've frequented this restaurant several times and am sorry things seemed to have slipped. Server presented us with the bill and disappeared not to be found again by the Duchess. However the device stated we should hand it back to the server. Server was AWOL, so we left. I don't know, probably will try it again.

Top it off with a great wine selection and fresh baguette to snack on. The owner is a kind Frenchwoman who pays attention to every detail. A huge bonus!

We were welcomed by the cashier who was patiently waiting for us as we decided what to get. It would have been a great plus if we received recommendations since there were several choices and after we stated it was our first time at restaurant. Hubs ordered a cheeseburger and I ordered a turkey burger. Of course we ordered a shake to share. Our food was delivered with a smile and cooked to perfection. My only complaint was the turkey burger was a bit bland but after adding salt and pepper it was amazing. You can definitely tell it was not a frozen patty. Hubs happily enjoyed his burger and loved the pickles. The shake, oh my! It was strawberry and scrumptious! We also ordered the garlic fries which were-ho hum tasteless so we doused them in ketchup and pepper. The restaurant kinda gives you a 50's vibe with fun motif but not over done. It was very clean and attracted diverse clientele. One aspect that gives me a sour vibe is when I see cashiers or cooks chewing and drinking in the cooking area and wiping their mouths with their arm. It might be better practice to snack behind closed doors or at a table especially since the cooking is out in the open. Overall we enjoyed our burgers and shake.
