    Excellent baked goods, sandwiches, buns, salads, plates and coffee drinks. The cookies are the best, especially the chocolate chip cookies. The break bar is one of my favorites and is so hearty and tasty. The scones and all the variety of breads are amazing. The stufffed buns (bao) are worth trying. For the plate, choose a protein, sauce & 3 sides. The cafe latte is perfect. Everything is made with care, looks great, tastes great and is reasonably priced. I will continue to support this business.

    Lemon Ricotta Pain
    Julian L.

    Cute café‑bakery vibe. Food is standard café fare, but done cleanly--the salad was evenly dressed, the lemon ricotta pain moist and dense. Tried the original chocolate chip and the oatmeal cookies but the original chocolate remains the star of the show for me. Service was friendly and nice. Overall, an easy, pleasant stop.

    Pockets and brussel sprouts

    We stopped here for brunch after our massage. It's between Cafe Barron and British Bankers Club. Cafe Barron was packed and we almost went there, but we decided to stick with Little Sky Kitchen -- and we're glad we did. It's a small place with fresh, tasty food. We tried the Mando, pockets, Nutella bun, and a side of Brussels sprouts. Everything was really good. The Brussels sprouts especially stood out. Ordering was quick and easy, and it's a nice spot to sit and have a relaxed chat.

    Updating my review because they've updated their menu somewhat. This time, my mixed greens were dressed with an actual salad dressing which gave them a lot more flavor. And my Brussels sprouts were fried and drizzled with a balsamic glaze. And the potatoes were also fried and super delicious and crunchy. They now also offer a dipping sauce on the side as well, and I chose lemon aioli. But with actually sauces and flavoring added to my sides, I didn't actually use much of it. And I chose roasted chicken instead of the tasteless fried cutlet and was pleasantly surprised by both the portion size and the flavor. Service at the counter was very amiable and pleasant and he even stopped by later at our table to check in on how our meal is going. We sat outside surrounded by many leafy plants where there was also a nice breeze and shade. Overall, a great experience and probably one of the most reasonably priced lunch options in Menlo Park.

    Cheddar scallion rollette
    Paula N.

    Coffee was super tasty! Rollette was delicious. Vibe was lively and everyone friendly. Very busy on a Saturday afternoon but able to get seating as people go in and out. We also ordered the lox and caprese sandwiches which come with a mixed greens salad.

    Breakfast sandwich

    Matcha latte is disappointing, fried chicken sandwich is just a slightly burnt chicken katsu, but their breakfast sandwich is really good.

    Positive vibes and great views all around and in a very convenient location walking distance to/from the Menlo Park train too. Little Sky Kitchen looks hidden and small inside, but it's a pretty legit cafe/coffee spot. Feels inviting and great out here! I had a small hot cup matcha latte $7 with a poppyseed muffin $6 and was satisfied with the cashier who was chatting with me. Friendly and conversational. Grab a table number if dining here. Pastries looked amazing. They have good breakfast/lunch menu items to choose from. Excitement is next door with the popular and spacious Cafe Borrone taking center attention, especially around lunchtime with career professionals dining indoors and outdoors. It's quiet at Little Sky Kitchen, which fits the business name and type of place. There's free public parking in garage under this Menlo Center plaza. Street parking is much harder to find. I am tempted to try more items next time. Environment was fabulous for this little cafe/restaurant setting. I'll be back!

    I love this place, and am not sure why I procrastinated for so long on writing a review for them. Location/ambiance: For context, I work right across the train tracks from Little Sky, at Saint Frank Coffee. So it's uber convenient for me to come here during my lunch breaks, which I usually do around 3-4 times per week. I really appreciate the music and overall ambiance here. It makes for a good place for a conversation, which I see a lot of people doing here. For me, I definitely come for the food and for a quiet space to decompress from work with a book or devotional. And so, the pretty outdoor patio, comfortable seating, and soothing music are all much appreciated attributes of this environment for me. Food: I really enjoy the food. Firstly, the fact that it's relatively healthy and freshly cooked is big for me. Second, the flavor in the roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts is something I genuinely look forward to. The rotisserie chicken and fried chicken are both pretty bland on their own, to be honest, but the lazi sauce easily makes up for this. Sauces: To take a moment on the lazi sauce, it's like a semi-sweet, non-spicy chili flake based sauce that is simply really, really good. If you go & make a similar order to mine, try it. The dark sweet soy sauce is delicious as well. Lastly, I'd be remiss to not mention the breakfast sandwich -- absolutely delicious. Only reason I don't have a photo of it is because I can never wait long enough before devouring it to catch a photo! Price: this one's a bit complicated for me because when they first opened, they were selling their plate with one protein + three sides for $10. Just 10 dollars!!!!! Since then, they've raised the price to $18. Which is understandable given the generally high cost of goods in this area. It's just disappointing for me. So, I've adjusted so that I can continue coming here by limiting myself on weekdays to just one protein with the lazi sauce -- $9. On weekends if I'm here, I'll treat myself to the full plate with sides for $18. Service: I wish I could give a shout out to all their workers, because essentially everyone who has worked here during the last year I have been coming here have been friendly, welcoming, and at the very least polite towards me. From the current staff, I want to acknowledge Harper for always greeting me with a smile. Georgina and Miracle are both especially welcoming and warm, and I enjoy having conversations with them whenever time allows. There are a few more staff members whose names I either don't know yet, or who worked here in the past. So giving them a general shout out and thank you. A final note is that the staff has turned over quite a bit over the past year, which can be disappointing as a regular customer as you don't get to see the people you form mini-friendships with anymore. I understand this is a natural element of food service, especially in this area, but just wanted to note that as well. However, even with all the turnover, pretty much every new person who has come to work here has been kind, warm, and welcoming towards me. Which actually ends up meaning more than you would think when I've made this my regular lunch spot I go to more days out of the week than not. Thanks again to everyone at Little Sky! Best, Kyle

    I hate to do this because I want to support small businesses and I have otherwise enjoyed my meals here (though a tad pricey for the portions), but I had a very disappointing experience here today (Sunday 11am). Brought my two kids and husband here for an early lunch. It was very cold and I popped in to ask the lady at the register if dogs were allowed inside. She was very kind and went on and on about how they were very dog friendly, yes dogs are permitted inside, do we want a dog bowl and treats, etc. After that I ask my husband to move the group inside from the patio, proceed to order a $75 fast casual meal, and have now situated in a four seater. Then someone else comes out and asks if my dog is a service dog, and I say no. She then says we have to go outside for health code reasons. I explain that I just asked and was told we could sit inside before I ordered and she did not care. No concern that they'd just told us the opposite, no effort to help problem solve or make our move easier, NO APOLOGY for the mistake or inconvenience. I would expect basic acknowledge, apologize and offer to help us move? She was worse than a chatbot. Really poor customer experience and sort of erases all of our prior experiences here. I didn't catch her name but she has short hair and I think it was dyed orange. Do better. Food is still tasty.

    Original chocolate chip cookie
    Sharon C.

    Came to try their pastries. Their original chocolate chip was good, so I bought more to share with friends. It's a chunky, chewy cookie with walnuts and dried apricots. The outdoor seating area is cute! Not sure how often their small pop up store is open, but we saw it across the street in front of Philz coffee. They had a lot more pastry offerings, esp challah bread. I got the pistachio challah bread. It was good but $6 for one roll and a little pistachio stuffing is a bit steep. I'd recommend sticking with the cookie!

    Iced Matcha and Nutella Challah

    The food is great and service is very friendly! Very good vibe inside too. Definitely reccomend

    Patio

    I was in the area and found this location specifically for its pastries. Firstly, I'd like to say everything looked amazing! I ended up getting the double chocolate chip cookie and the Nutella stuffed bread, initially. Both items were full of flavor, tasted fresh, were very affordable. I wish the bread was warmed up though because it would have taken it to another level! I noticed they had a full lunch menu and decided to indulge. I had the roasted chicken, Brussels sprouts, and carrot slaw! The carrot slaw was PHENOMENAL! It seemed to be tossed in a sweet gochujang marinade that was cold and refreshing. Oh and btw the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I'll be back! Pros: Affordable. A nice patio with a relaxing chill ambiance. Fresh tasting meals full of flavor. Delicious sweet treats. Great for Cons: A little oily if you're being health conscious.

    Iced latte, onion parm bialy
    Katie K.

    I went kind of close to closing and the guy manning the cashier started giving out random extra buns to customers. I originally only ordered a coffee and a savory bread but came back home with an extra nutella bun. The inside is sorta limited in seating but they have a lot more tables outside. The onion parm bialy ended up being a bit dry and hard. I wanted to love it cuz it looked so yummy but it was just alright.

    Cute dog-friendly patio (7 tables)!

The pastries are very inviting - I sometimes allow myself a treat. The almond croissant is one of my favorites. The avocado toast is delicious - sometimes the poached egg is a little too firm but I can deal with that. The chefs make some great brunch items. The eggs are always good. The freshly baked bread is a nice take home for lunch. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. I know their jobs are very busy and they work hard. It doesn't go unnoticed. I'd love it if they opened a location in San Carlos. The Redwood location isn't as convenient to get to and park.

    HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS!!!…read more I am writing this review to both warn other customers and so that management sees this. I was at the MP location earlier this week and saw not one but TWO health code violations committed by employees. First, one of the ladies was drinking out of an open cup at the front where the food and beverages are prepared. This is against the health code! 113977. (a) Except as specified in subdivision (b), an employee shall eat or drink only in designated areas where contamination of nonprepackaged food; clean equipment, utensils, and linens; unwrapped single-use articles; or other items needing protection cannot result. (b) A food employee may drink from a closed beverage container if the container is handled to prevent contamination of the employee's hands, the container, nonprepackaged food, and food-contact surfaces. The employee (brown hair in a ponytail, wearing grey Adidas) was frequently drinking a pink drink from a clear open cup behind the counter where the pastries are! Also, I saw the male employee behind the counter sneeze and use his bare hand to cover his sneeze. He rubbed his nose and sniffed. I was watching him from my table to make sure that he washed his hands. He went over to the sink behind the cash register and I kid you not, he turned on the water and for literally ONE SECOND put his hands under it. He then wiped his hands together to dry them. HE DID NOT USE SOAP TO WASH HIS HANDS AFTER SNEEZING INTO THEM!!!! Article 4. Handwashing 113953.3. (a) (2) After touching bare human body parts other than clean hands and clean, exposed portions of arms. (5) After coughing, sneezing, using a handkerchief or disposable tissue, using tobacco, eating, or drinking. He then went back to work grabbing customers' pastries. I'd really love for management to please have a word with staff/review training and protocols - please don't respond to this review with the canned "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have addressed this with our staff and we will take your comments into consideration." Please actually DO SOMETHING and ensure that all of your staff follow proper health code laws! Thank you!! :D

It was an average burger but cooked a little on the more well done side versus the medium we asked for. This made it a bit dry... Birria oxtail, based on other reviews I had very high hopes for this dish. But maybe because of this, it did not live up to what I was hoping for. Once again, the dish was good but not great. You get 1 piece of oxtail and some scrap meat for decor on a cup of rice. Typical braised method and not the typical birria consume. All in all, the place is beautiful. Service was great. Food was served well and plated well. But the actual food itself is okay at best and to me, does not quite justify the cost.
