Food wise- it was such a disappointment. First, I had to constantly use the restroom afterwards. Second, both my friend and I didn't really care for their food. She had the pesto turkey crepe and it was soggy at the bottom- crepe was too moist. I had the croffle ham and cheese. Let's just say it was not what I expected. $10 for a plain croissant pressed with a slice of cheese and stored bought ham. Desserts were good but they weren't made there.

Super cute and quirky brunch spot! I stumbled upon this restaurant while looking up a place to eat…read more We came here yesterday at around 11:30am. There was a short line out the door, but it went by quick. This is one of those places where you order and pay first and then grab any table that's available. I ordered the Awesome Breakfast Sandwich with cheesesteak as my choice of protein and on sourdough bread. I also got a Pistachio Ube donut. The food came out less than 10 minutes after we sat down. The sandwich was really good. The bread was buttery and crispy, and the eggs had a runny yolk, which I liked. The fries were crispy and great. As for the donut, I liked the texture - it was dense but fluffy. The donut itself is purple, which I assumed is the ube part, and the glaze is green, which I assumed is the pistachio part. I couldn't really taste either of those flavors. It was good; just don't expect a strong ube or pistachio flavor. We had a great brunch here, and we would definitely want to come back in the future. They have a pretty extensive menu, so I want to come back to try other dishes. I would also love to try one of their drinks!

I've really come to love Brothers Cafe! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and a small Caesar…read moresalad today, and they were both delicious. The croutons on the Caesar were especially good -- I think they might be homemade. I've tried several things here now -- the Daddy Melt, chicken club, BLT with avocado, and tuna melt -- and I've enjoyed every one. I usually get delivery, and it's always arrived hot and tasting great. A Sunday afternoon with the 49ers on and Brothers Cafe delivered is one of my favorite little treats. I still have the fish and chips and the Grand Special on my list to try! I'm always happy when I decide to order from Brothers Cafe. I know I'm going to have a good meal.

Food is delicious and service was spectacular.

The good ol Jack's!…read more This restaurant is one of our family favorites. It is one that we recommend to family and friends who come out of town. We either bring them here or we just let them know. This is a good spot to have breakfast because it's always been ours! I feel like the menu selection is great because there's so many things that you can choose from whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner and it is kid friendly so that is a plus because I have two! It gives the vibe of how restaurants were back in the day, but also modern at the same time so I like the cozy feeling that it gives. My go to when we come here is always steak and eggs with sourdough toast and an iced coffee. I would love to give it a full five star rating, but I brought two of my girlfriends here for brunch and I was bragging to them about how great this place was and how there are so many options. My friend had ordered onion rings to munch on and obviously to try, but when I took a bite out of it a whole bunch of flour or powder used to make the onion rings fell out all over me on the table, so it was kind of disappointing and of course we returned it to the kitchen and just asked to remove it as a whole because it almost ruined our tables appetite, but they still gave it a shot and ate their entrées, which went well. And the day before that, we decided to stop there for breakfast me and my little family and it was kind of hard finding our waiter to get refill on water or just to get the check. So overall, even though we had those 2 experiences I would still come back here just because it's an old family favorite and I feel like a lot of breakfast brunch lunch or dinner spots Lack a lot of what this restaurant has to offer. So if you have family coming from out of town or you wanna have a quick catch-up session with some good food and drinks, this is your spot to visit and they also have a bar as well if you don't wanna sit in the restaurant area!

Stepping into this restaurant really felt like stepping into someone's home. There are memories shown everywhere and though parts of this restaurant are dated, there is a very homey vibe.

The prosciutto and fig jam toast stands out to me because the saltiness of the prosciutto is balanced with the sweetness of the fig jam.

The matcha rose latte was really good, I asked for less sweet, which I prefer, and the drink wasn't bitter because of the adjustment. The waffle sampler was a sweet treat to share. The strawberry ricotta was my favorite, the fruit was perfectly ripe and a touch of honey for some natural sweetness for the waffle. The ambience is super cute and great for IG pictures.
