    Tech Bro and Chicken - Churri
    Jessilyn H.

    I was in NorCal for a business trip and was looking for a quick lunch option. We found this sandwich place, not thinking or expecting much, but wow did it blow us away. We've been in a sandwich phase lately, and this definitely hit our top 3. You walk into the store, and there are a few iPads to order on. They'll text you when your order is ready. We ordered 2 sandwiches for 3 people (which ended up being plenty). We got the tech bro and the chicken churri. We got there right before the weekday lunch rush, which was great timing for us. My husband loved the tech bro, but the friend and I thought the chicken churri was more unique. All in all, 3 very satisfied tummies. Prices of sandwiches were reasonable given the size. We'll be back next time we're in NorCal!

    Came here on a weekend and split a sandwich with my friend. They have self service kiosks to order at. Good sized sandwich, they have a good amount of options to choose from. Love the outdoor seating area they have. We walked off our lunch along the water after we ate. Highly recommend!

    For some context, my experience to Gigi's was on a cold, windy Saturday. Gigi's is located in an office building and I imagine this is a much different experience on a sunny day or during the work week. It's nestled in Burlingame my a lovely trail around the bay and hotels in walking distance. I was meeting my friend and happy to see there was ample parking. To my surprise as you walk in you are immediately welcomed with a tall partition and a couple of kiosks. There were no employees visible and no indoor seating... and it was chilly. Here are some general notes: * mostly a breakfast burrito and sandwich spot. *affordable and generous servings *the breakfast burrito with bacon and a hash brown. Very small and sparse pieces of bacon and additional hash brown was also lacking. Overall tasty and huge portion and I like how they grill the tortilla. *no restrooms on Saturdays, we had to sneak into the restroom in the hotel next door *Staff at cafe was kind and may have been the only one working when he handed me my burrito Additional thoughts: I'm sure this is amazing spot on a sunny and warm day to sit on the patio or stroll and eat your burrito. In our case it was chilly and we contemplated eating in our cars. If you do come on a cool day m, wear extra layers. This is really best as online pick up or if you're working in the building when there are restrooms available during the work week.

    It's sad that Gigi's is starting to lack in service as of recently. This is the second time that I have ordered sandwiches with avocado and the sandwiches ended up not having it. Thankfully after the first time, I made it a habit to check the sandwiches for avocados and for a while they did a great job. They forgot avocados on all three of my sandwiches today. This is disappointing because I come here a few times a month from SF just for their sandwiches. Update: I appreciate Gigi reaching out. I do truly love this spot and am willing to chance on no avocados again to try this place again.

    Chicken - Churri

    Was craving a sandwich so I stopped by Gigi's Cafe after seeing her place pop up on my FYP on social media. Gigi's Cafe is located at the end of the street on Anza by Embassy suites. There's plenty of parking and an outdoor seating area if you want to have your lunch there. Gigi's Cafe is a women-owned establishment serving deli sandwiches, homemade pastries and drinks. When you walk in, it's a pretty small place with three ordering screens. The area where your food and drinks are prepared is closed off. I ordered the Chicken-Churri sandwich which had breaded chicken, arugula, provolone cheese, tomatoes, thin sliced red onions, mayo and a chimichurri sauce. And an everything but the kitchen sink cookie. The sandwich was a decent size and so well neatly prepared and packaged. Very impressive. The breaded chicken was cooked nicely and not dry at all. The chimichurri sauce reminded me like a lighter version of pesto but in a good way. The flavors blended well together and the sandwich was so filling. The everything but the kitchen sink cookie was good. It was soft and not overly sweet. What I also really appreciate about this place is the amount of love and care that goes into everything they do. You can truly feel it in the atmosphere. One detail that especially stood out to me, and makes me want to keep coming back, is an option on the ordering kiosk called "Gigi's Lunches with Love." It's reserved for people who may not know when their next meal will be. With everything going on in the world, it's refreshing to see a place that leads with kindness and compassion. It's a very touching and heartwarming gesture. Definitely go and support this place. There's so many good options to choose from. Truly a hidden gem.

    Make your own turkey sandwich
    Nat P.

    Came here before and I'm glad to see that it is still popular! Their sandwiches are simple, yet special at the same time. While their specialty sandwiches are out of this world, I opted to make my own sandwich. I got cold turkey sandwich with lettuce, onion, light mayo, cucumber. While it seems light, it was pretty delicious! No thrills, just a basic sandwich and they perfected it! The turkey is light and not dry at all. It was still moist even hours later. Sometimes people do too much mayo and I asked for light mayo and they did it just right. The sandwich was a great size! I didn't feel stuffed afterwards. The sandwich was made to go and it was packaged well! Definitely try this place out if you haven't already.

    Rise & Shine Burrito
    Laura L.

    Outdoor seating only! That's okay though because you get a really nice view overlooking the water while you eat. Huge portions for every item. They're supposed to be known for their sandwiches but my favorite was the rise and shine breakfast burrito which had hash browns, bacon, and egg. There's a great chipotle sauce in the burrito. I also really liked my mango coconut pineapple smoothie. The sandwich for me was solid but nothing too special!

    Hot Gurl Chicken Sandwich
    Katyayini K.

    The sandwiches are made to order - so there's a short wait time. They have soo many options to choose from! The hot gurl sandwich was amazing - crunchy chicken, saucy salad, fresh veggies and a good ole Dutch crunch. Note that there's no indoor seating, so if the weather is not to your liking, it would be best to take it home.

    We got the biggest breakfast burritos ever here. The flavors were creative and delicious, and the difference in textures inside were spot on. Very reasonably priced for the size and it too me a few sittings to finish it! Seating is outside so come on a nice day or chow down in your car.

    It was a great experience! My mom and I stayed at the hotel across the street and I love cafes so I had to try Gigi's! She got a Guava Lemonade and I got the regular Matcha Latte. My matcha was subtly sweetened, perfect for people who want a hint of sweetness and that real matcha flavor. Her lemonade was good but she did mention it was mostly ice and could have used more guava flavor. We also got two hashbrowns - they could have been crispier but it was enough as a quick snack. If I'm ever in SF again, would love to come back and try one of their delicious looking sandwiches.

    Food - Large sandwiches! - Almost, too big? - Grilled cheese - I added veggies but didn't need all that - Generous on meats and veggies overall Service - You go up to a kiosk and order at the screen - If you scream "hello?" someone can come help you (they gave us recommendations on what's most popular) Location - Yes parking - Outdoor seating only with umbrellas Overall - Pretty easy - Pretty fast - Pretty full

    Wow! Talk about a hidden gem. I read online that their wagyu corned beef sandwich had been so beloved that it sold out. So we went today to check out this choice sandwich! My husband said it was perfectly crunchy and hit all the right spots but that the corned beef alone is a bit salty. My turkey chipotle sandwich was thicker than my forearm and the lettuce and chipotle sauce was practically falling out the sides - 10/10 sandwich for me. We could both only finished half our sandwiches (they were that huge!) The thai tea and ube coffee perfectly went with the sandwiches, though the ube coffee lacked ube flavor. It is only counter service inside so there is only patio seating outdoors. Their sign noted there is no public bathroom on Saturdays so keep that in mind. 10/10 will return to try other sandwiches!!

    Hot Gurl chicken. Massive portion, but the chicken is soft as opposed to crispy. $16.50.
    John N.

    Boy, oh boy! Come hungry, since the portion sizes are gargantuan (will feed a small army). I tried a few different sandwiches: breakfast sausage on crossiant, Hot Gurl chicken, & Captain Hook. I also tried their Vietnamese coffee and chocolate chip cookie. Overall, I felt that everything was exceptional value. They really pack these sandwiches to the brim, and don't overcharge in a time where it feels like a lot of the competition is skimping... The breakfast sandwich was a highlight. All the ingredients were super fresh, and I appreciated the multitude of customization options (especially adding veggies to the egg!). You basically get a small omelette within the sandwich for free. I added avocado and bacon, and all-in this came to $16.99 before tax, which I felt was super reasonable considering when they handed me the container, the thing had the weight of a brick. I'd return for the breakfast sandwich alone! The Hot Gurl was good, but my one gripe with the chicken was that it was soft, as opposed to crispy. I think this is just the cooking technique they decided to use, as the chicken was still fresh, but I think this sandwich would really "pop" with the extra bite of crispy chicken. Again, it was full to the brim. $16.50. Captain Hook is fried crab cakes, potato chips, and arugula (along with some spices and spreads). I am not usually a crab person, but this was tasty and not "fishy" at all. I appreciated that the chips were not stale. $19.50. The Vietnamese coffee was just ok. Not sure what I was expecting from a non-Vietnamese restaurant, but this is the only time I felt was a tad overpriced at $6.95 for a 12-oz pour. Would skip next time. The cookie was good, but also a touch pricey at $3.50. Would only get that if I am craving something sweet next time. All in all, Gigi's is a fresh, tasty, and extremely reasonable sandwich shop in an obscure corner near the airport. I will definitely return if I am in the area, though I wouldn't recommend a special trip.

Love love love their crumb donuts, Vietnamese coffee, cronut holes, and custard filled long bars. THE 1 STAR IS STRICTLY FOR ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, ONE OF THE SISTERS: One of the sisters is super sweet & nice, I love when she is working! The other one on the other hand... she is NASTY & responds very rude to customers. I've encountered it several times now trying to let it slide but it's out of hand & hence this long awaited review.... CUSTOMER SERVICE DEFINITELY CAN RUIN A BUSINESS. I'd suggest the business owners have a talk to her about her personality and mood. One time she talked about my elderly father & made him feel bad - he didn't want to come back and said she's mean. Another time I asked her a simple question about a donut and felt like I was being scolded by my mom about frickin donuts! Talk about kill joy... who gets riled up about donuts?! She just is miserable and her negative energy & facial expression exudes - "I hate being here" Contemplating after today's instance of her taking the knife to open the donut box and rudely show me about my donut selection instead of just validating my order, that this is the last time dealing with her nasty attitude. It'll be disappointing if this is my last time supporting this business despite how good their donuts are, but customers shouldn't start their mornings or afternoons with a RUDE & MISERABLE EMPLOYEE, PERIOD. Sending her warmth because she definitely could use some
