Egg, cheese, sausage croissant
Tiffany K.

I live close by and i finally came to try this place its quaint.. since then ive been a regular!! The owner and other staff is so nice and they treat their customers so well. My favorite to get here is -- iced Caramel macchiato with oat milk the two breakfast sandwich sausage, egg and cheese croissant and the BLT with avocado added fried egg.... So gooooood! Ive been coming here 1-3x a week lol

Cute breakfast spot in San Mateo in the downtown. I dinned in and was disappointed that there was no bathroom- customers will have to go to Starbucks down the street. If you just do takeout, this won't be a problem. The food itself is very good. I had a croissant breakfast sandwich that was flaky and full of fresh veggies!

Breakfast croissant: fried egg, bacon & cheddar cheese
Carolina G.

Place is small & quaint croissant spot in Burlingame, San Francisco, and it ended up being such a great find. The place itself is tiny and basic, the kind of café that feels cozy I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, cheddar, and bacon. It was simple, but perfect--the croissant was incredibly light & buttery Nothing fancy, just really well-made and delicious. They also offer a full menu and a variety of pastries that looked amazing. Definitely a spot worth stopping by if you're in the area and craving something fresh and flavorful.

Deluxe Croissandwich - Ham, Cheddar cheese, fried egg, sauté mushrooms and fresh spinach $8.79 w Medium Cappucino $4.65
Kelly C.

Overall 3.75 stars: A small cafe situated in downtown Burlingame. A 10 minute walk to most hotels located on Broadway. Limited pastries but have a decent selection of breakfast sandwich and coffee options. Limited seating inside and outside , about 4 tables per location. It is more a pick up and go cafe. However I sat down to have my breakfast on an early Sunday morning. 3.5 Service - staff were friendly. Might be family own and operated. Because each item is made fresh, took about 12 minutes for my sandwhich and coffee. 3.75 Stars - I ordered a Deluxe Hot croissant sandwich. It had a fried egg, cheddar cheese, spinach, mushrooms and ham. The sandwich was good and hot. Evened though the croissant was flatten to encased the ingredients, it was a perfect way to hold the sandwich. I added hot sauce to enhance the flavor. The sautéed mushrooms and fresh spinach gave the other items a more balanced flavor. You know "fried egg meets fresh spinach" means healthy w a side of naughtiness. 3.5 Stars - Coffee - a medium Cappuccino. Coffee was good but I prefer my coffee stronger flavor. I forgot to order a shot of Espresso. I recommend this cafe for a light breakfast meal.

Florentine croissandwich.  I am not sure the black stuff on the egg. Since the egg was cooked in a flat griddle like a flat iron.

My first time here . I ordered to go regular croissant, almond croissants. The price is fair but it is not what I expected. Croissants here are delivered daily according to the owner from a different bakery. There is one female prepping the order and the owner. So only two employees in a small space. Their regular croissants were not shiny, not crispy and not flaky but soft. I would pay more for the quality and for real Croissants. I am still trying to assess the black stuff on my egg that I did not eat and removed from the Croissanwich. I was not a happy camper eating their Croissant. I will not go back.

Avocado turkey pesto with pepper jack cheese in a croissant
Izzy T.

Absolutely delicious little turkey pesto sandwich in a croissant! They gave lots of avocado (super fresh) and melted some ooey gooey pepper jack cheese in it with a few slices of tomato! There isn't much searing inside (4-5 tables) but there also a few outside the restaurant! Cute little breakfast spot in downtown Burlingame so there's plenty to walk around and see after! Would definitely come again to try their other sandwiches!

Street parking. Good to go on Sunday so as not to worry about meter. Le special breakfast with egg mushroom, spinach, cheese, tomato was excellent. Side toast with whipped butter & jam also added along with house coffee or orange juice. Other breakfast items ordered by our group looked good but I did not taste them. Order your food, pay, and server brings to your table. Small cafe so not much ambiance. Small eatery and fairly fast service. 4 of 5 stars.

Turkey avocado melted (#12)
Raquel D.

Very cozy mom & pop breakfast & sandwich place! I ordered their turkey avocado melted sandwich and it was delicious! I rarely get sandwiches because I don't typically like them, but this was soo good. Everything was well portioned and prepared. The garlic pesto is such a nice touch! Service was quick, I think I got everything within 5 minutes. They're also laptop friendly on the weekends which is nice. I was originally going to eat/station at pluckys down the street but saw how they don't allow laptops on weekends. So glad it turned out this way! Also the large latte is the size of a bowl! Super happy!

Ground up nuts in cream cheese
Michael S.

Warning: They add nuts to basic items without telling you! I had been ordering here for a while with good results - the food quality was good on most items. This time they put some kind of ground up nuts in a few plain bagels with cream cheese. Opening the bagels it is clearly easy to see. It caused a severe allergic reaction. When I called them they denied it, denied even the possibility that anything with nuts could have gotten in there, while it was sitting there right in front of me.

Nice little mom and pop bakery. The owner is nice, and friendly. Cozy shop inside. Seems like fresh baked good each day. I got an almond filled croissant to heat up. They put it in a panini press to heat up. I unfortunately, it didn't heat up the croissant but instead it pressed it down. Losing that fluffy crispy-ness of a croissant. The taste though is pretty good. Not too sweet. House coffee is not bad either. Wish the would get a toaster to warm up the baked goods, instead of smooshing it in a panini press. There are tables to sit outside which is nice.

Almond croissant
Dharma M.

Love this coffee shop. It is family owned. Seems many are regular. The owner is nice. It is a small shop which serves coffee, pastries and regular american breakfast like egg and sandwich. It has indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered almond croissants and ice and hot latte. Price is reasonable and it is cheaper than other coffee shops. The croissant is yummy and fluffy. The latte is good and light. Will visit again and try the sandwiches. It is a good place for breakfast and brunch.

Sausage egg and cheese croissant

Have been coming to this place a 2 or 3 times a month for 3 years now, really awesome affordable mom and pop spot. The sausage egg and cheese croissant is my favorite. Steve the owner is always super friendly, and thice outside seating on broadway.

Le Provencal

This was a fresh breakfast. It had eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and cheese with wheat toast. It all was very fresh but there seemed something missing. It was just very plain in flavor. I wish it had more seasoning or something to make it more unique. I added salt and pepper and that helped it somewhat. I still enjoyed it. Staff were nice and it's a nice chill café. I don't know if I'd go back but I might try their sandwiches.

Ceré Tea - Black Sesame Matcha Einspanner (oatmilk, 50% sweetness)

You can't go wrong at Ceré Tea! I've been a handful of times, and I am consistently impressed with…read morethe quality of the drinks here. Every time I've walked by, there's a pretty sizable line (often extending out the door and around the corner) - but after trying it a few times, it's very clear why! They offer a wide variety of drinks spanning traditional espresso drinks, to matcha and hōjicha teas, to fruit teas and "tornados" (blended smoothies), so there is really is something for everyone! In the times I've been, I've tried their mango fruit tornado, earl grey matcha latte, a regular latte, and the black sesame matcha einspänner - and I've been impressed with each one! The drinks are thick, creamy, balanced, and always refreshing. They've been excellent for the warmer summer months, but some of their drinks are also available hot, which will be nice as we enter the cooler fall weather. The ordering system is fast and easy - just enter your order and pay on the kiosk, without needing to talk to the staff. And despite the often long lines, I've never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes for my drinks. Overall, this place is consistent, quick, and very tasty. If you need a refreshing pit stop on your way around downtown Burlingame, Ceré Tea is a great way to go!

$7.25 for the Osmanthus Matcha Latte. Matcha is pre made in batches. For an expensive price point,…read moreI would expect it to be freshly hand whisked. This drink is described as matcha, milk, and Osmanthus Syrup. I didn't taste any of the syrup, the drink wasn't sweet at all, which isn't bad but I paid extra for the flavored latte rather than plain and it just tasted like plain matcha. It did have some flower leaves in it though? Which was unexpected as I would think a syrup would have been strained. You also don't interact with anyone here, you order on an iPad. The table I sat to wait at was dirty.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Sama…read morehits the sweet spot of delicious drinks, good space to work, and decent surrounding parking options. The Rose Cardamom Honey Latte surprised me because I LOVED IT. It reminded me of a Vietnamese coffee in terms of coffee strength but balanced by sweetness. I was scared it would be too sweet or one flavor would be overpowered, but you can taste everything and the latte is very well balanced. My drink came out super fast after ordering at the register, and the decor is super aesthetic. Lots of good seating options and there are outlets for studying or working.

Sama Coffee Shop in San Mateo understands that a café can be more than a place to consume coffee;…read moreit can be an exercise in atmosphere and appetite. The room is quietly elegant, its Middle Eastern influences expressed through considered décor rather than theatrical excess. There is an appealing sense of decorum here; a place designed to encourage lingering rather than turnover. The coffee is similarly assured. Turkish coffee possesses the requisite depth and bitterness, while the rose-cardamom-honey latte introduces floral sweetness and spice with admirable restraint. The pastries and sweets--particularly the baklava and kunafeh--provide a luxurious counterpoint without descending entirely into confectionery excess. At roughly $10-$20 per person, Sama occupies a sensible price point for an experience that feels considerably more considered than the average neighborhood coffee shop. Sama is, ultimately, a café with a point of view and that is increasingly rare. The service was designed to provide you with a feeling that you're like a beloved family member. Eager to answer all questions asked and make you feel like you're at home.

I recently had some pastries and bread from Backhaus delivered to me via 4 hour express air mail…read more Also known as my wife flying some back for me on a recent business trip to Burlingame. I can't really say anything about the atmosphere or service since I didn't physically visit this store. What I can say, though, is that Backhaus serves some stellar baked goods from everything I was able to try. Kouign Amann ($6) - This pastry has a nice tighter brioche-like crumb, clearly constructed without trying to be a croissant like so many other bakeries. There's an excellent thin sugar glaze melted on the bottom. It almost shatters like glass and is not too sweet. Sugar soaks into a pocket on the interior, creating a sweet, soft, almost pudding-like texture. (5/5) Almond Croissant ($7.75) - Really open lamination, airy and chewy. Cut in half and slathered with a dark brown colored almond frangipane. It's by far the darkest rendition I've seen and seems to have higher moisture content than most, so it soaks into the croissant, creating a soggy texture. It's also not strongly almond in flavor for some reason. The sliced almond on top powers the pastry far more than the filling. The croissant is good but definitely not my favorite. (4/5) Croissant Loaf ($22) - At first I thought this croissant loaf was really expensive, but I think it's well worth the price. Firstly, it's quite long. I didn't measure it, but I'd guess it's baked in one of the larger pullman loaf pans, probably at least 16 inches. The interior, while not having as large honeycomb air pockets as a normal croissant, still flake apart easily into layers. The loaf is compressed a bit from being baked in the pan, rather than having the freedom to openly rise. It's deliciously buttery inside, while the exterior is a dark golden brown that flakes apart. Unfortunately they bag the loaf up, so the exterior flakiness softens due to the moisture trapped in the plastic. It's still an excellent croissant loaf and it works wonderfully in sandwiches, as French Toast, and eaten just by itself. (5/5) I wish Backhaus had been open back when I lived in the Bay. I will definitely visit in person next time I fly down.

Wow what a find! We arrived and the line was out the door 15 min after they opened (a good sign)…read more All of their pastries looked so good, we asked the woman working which were top sellers and she recommended any croissant or scone. We chose the blueberry oatmeal scone, which was delicious, tasted almost like a cookie. Also got the raspberry coffee cake which was not my favorite as the raspberry was pretty strong and overshadowed the coffee cake. Finally got the breakfast sandwich which was my favorite item. To drink we all got cardamom lattes, hot. For some reason the drinks came out extremely hot, like I couldn't even pick up my mug without burning my fingers. After it cooled down for 10 minutes, it was really good but perhaps the baristas need to adjust their milk frothing temperature? The space is really cool, they have an upstairs section and if you sit by the window you get a nice view of the outside. They do not have outlets, so it's not designed to sit at all day and study.
