    Cute seating area with "fireplace"
    Kathy T.

    Went here for lunch. It's located on San Mateo Ave where there's a lot of restaurants to choose from. Place is cute and well decorated with a little area for kids to play/read books. What drew us here was that they had açaí bowls. Ordered a mushroom empanada, caprese style avocado toast, açaí bowl and horchata latte with a plant based milk alternative. The mushroom empanada was spectacular. Packed with a savory blend of mushrooms, cheese and vegetables. I really enjoyed the chimichurri sauce it came with. I could have eaten more of it if it came with more though the amount given was adequate. The chimichurri gave it a fresh herby kick to the golden flaky pastry. The açaí bowl was good--standard and exactly what you'd expect. Thick and refreshing with a good balance of sweet and tartness. The caprese style avocado toast was underwhelming. Minimal basil that you can't taste which was disappointing because it made the toast feel incomplete. It was so basic, I felt like I could have easily made it myself at home. The basil is such an essential ingredient to caprese that it doesn't really deliver on the flavor you'd expect . Lastly, the horchata latte. What I was really excited to try. I opted for oat milk instead of the traditional milk it comes with and honestly, it was a miss for me. It had an overpowering aftertaste that I couldn't drink it after my first sip. When I mentioned the aftertaste to the staff, he told me he was already aware of the issue and that others had brought it up before. That was honestly disappointing to hear, because if it's a known problem, it raises the question of why it's still on the menu or being served without any adjustment. It felt a bit misleading to continue offering something that's known to have that kind of feedback. He did offer to remake my drink, which I appreciated, but I had already finished my meal at that point and declined. Overall, it left a disappointing impression and I probably don't see myself returning.

    One Love Café in San Bruno is such a charming neighborhood gem. Ordering was quick and easy, and the staff made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. I tried the vegetarian sandwich, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. The real highlight, though, was the pistachio coffee -- unique, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. It's not something you find everywhere, and they do it really well. The ambience is cute and cozy, making it a great spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get a little work done. With friendly service and great flavors, this place definitely deserves five stars!

    Found this place in 2024 and really like it. The atmosphere is great and the shop looks very nice. The red velvet iced coffee is my favorite drink here.

    My new favorite little gem. I wish this spot were in my hood. I'd be a regular here. The coffee here is heavenly and my breakfast burrito was DELICIOUS. It's the type of spot where you could get lost in your book, get some homework done, catch up with an old friend, or just pop in for a delicious coffee to go. Every neighborhood needs a charming little spot like this. Love the couches, the art on the walls, and the music selection. The young man helping us was nice too. Thank you for a warm experience with delicious food and one of the best cups of Joe I've had in a long time.

    This place is so vibey . My flight had a huge delay, so I stopped in for breakfast. I'm so glad I did. The decor immediately makes you feel at home and cozy in the best way. The staff was so friendly in answering my questions, and the food had great presentation and was delicious. I started with a pistachio latte which had that nutty pistachio flavor but wasn't overly sweet or syrupy. I had the avocado toast with bacon and egg, but I asked the eggs to be scrambled. The dish was bright in flavor and the textures were on point. I wanted to get a pastry to go, but the portion size was perfect for me and I was nice and full. Next time I visit the area, I would definitely stop in again.

    Perfect place for a brunch on weekend with absolutely no wait or stress. Party of 5 we're seated right away. Order at counter or via QR menu. The acai bowls were amazing and generous, and the staff was very accommodating to our requests. The super breakfast burrito was hit with the guys in the party!! Again many other ruin for add ons!! Only one 1 n out ur party had the coffee and it was a decent one. Wanted to try the matcha latte to gauge the quality of it but maybe next time!! Definitely a great spot for low stress, no wait and good food!

    Family owned café open from morning to night featuring works from Latin American artists. Order using the QR code on the table or at the register. Your drinks and food will be brought to you. Our order: Latte: $6.00 (Large - 20 oz) +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +/- Creamy with STRONG espresso -No latte art Lavender Matcha Latte: $6.35 (Medium - 16 oz) +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Strong matcha with fragrant lavender flavor throughout +I liked how there were different sweetness levels: 50% sweetness was perfect for me +Lavender blossoms on top were an aesthetic touch. +This is the 1st time I've seen whipped cream included in a hot matcha latte, and it added creaminess to the drink without making it too heavy. Side notes: 1.) 2.75% Credit Card Surcharge 2.) Restroom available for customers. 3.) Limited street parking *Verdict: I would return to try more of their drinks if I was in the area!

    This place has a vibe !! Cute cafe in San Bruno ! What I really loved is this cafe promotes local artists, there are many amazing art works you can enjoy in this place. We ordered Mexican Mocha - Great taste ! Loved it. Regular coffee is also very good. We tried poppyseed and apricot pasties. Poopy seed pastry has nutty unique flavour and Apricot pastry was warm so that was amazing with coffee. Food was served to the table and server was very welcoming. Loved this place !

    Come for: breakfast burrito Know that: small, family owned shop with both the pros and cons One Love Cafe is a hidden gem in downtown San Bruno. They are a pretty small place so expect some operations hiccups (things may be slower) but the food is quite good. My favorite was the super breakfast burrito. I asked them to place the chipotle sauce inside and that is my recommended move. The sauce gives a nice smoky kick to the crispy hash browns and bacon. Towards both ends though, it was pretty empty with just tortilla. I also got an avocado toast to go that I'll have to try fresh next time. The toast got a little soggy during transport and the avocado had a bit too much lemon. I'd be willing to give this another shot. Overall, a nice spot to have in downtown San Bruno. A cozy little cafe that serves acai bowls is a welcome addition to the relatively quiet downtown.

    Pistachio latte on the bottom. And banana caramel latte on top.

    If you're looking for a spot that feels like a warm hug in a cup, One Love Cafe in San Bruno is it. I had an incredible experience here and can't recommend it enough! The Drinks You absolutely cannot leave without trying their specialty lattes. They are creative, balanced, and perfectly executed: * Pistachio Latte: Rich, nutty, and not overly sweet. It has that authentic pistachio flavor that's hard to find. * Banana Caramel Latte: A total standout. It's a must-try for anyone who wants a cozy, dessert-inspired caffeine kick. The Vibe & Service The atmosphere is very chill, making it the perfect place to catch up with a friend or just decompress. What really ties it all together is the excellent service--the staff is welcoming and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Final Verdict This is definitely a "whenever you're in San Bruno" kind of place. I'm already planning my next visit to dive into their breakfast menu. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure this spot is on your list!

    It was my first time visiting this café this morning, and I will definitely say it is a beautiful café. Very colorful and vibrant. I definitely love the vibes in there. It was super quiet. We went in maybe about right when they had open maybe 30 minutes after they opened. It was very quiet very nice. There was a few people already there and they were enjoying the food. Ruby the cashier/barista was super helpful and kind definitely appreciate her and the whole crew for helping us out with our breakfast and beverage order. We absolutely enjoyed the food and the portion was very big for the price. I would definitely recommend Bay Area locals to come here in the Peninsula. This is absolutely a Gem! Thank you one love cafe team. We appreciate you.

    the matcha lattes here are so good, plus the food i've had haven't been bad at all! the workers are always the nicest and most accommodating. interesting to look at too, a lot have interesting art that's constantly changing.

    What a gem! A women-owned cafe and community space supporting local artists, and using organic, fair trade certified coffee and tea roasted in San Francisco! They offer a large menu of flavored lattes, which seem to be popular per their other reviews. I'm more of a latte purist so ordered an unflavored latte to go, to fuel my drive back north. Smooth! Balanced! Strong but not too strong. I loved it! They also offer a menu of breakfast and brunch items, and everything looks delicious. The space is very inviting with lots of seating, and with local art adorning the walls. And they have a photoshoot wall with One Love neon lights. One Love Cafe is conveniently located on San Mateo Ave, in the heart of Downtown San Bruno - note: parking is metered (scan QR code and pay by phone with your license plate). It was a short drive from where I stayed near SFO, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again!

    Mar y Mar has been a staple for my friends and me since high school. It has been over 20 years now…read moreand it is still one of those places we always come back to. There is something special about a restaurant that stays part of your life for that long. So many memories with friends started here and it has remained one of our go to spots whenever we want something reliable and delicious. My personal favorite is their shrimp cocktail. It is consistently amazing and I always order it with extra limes. Something about the freshness and the balance of flavors just hits perfectly every time. Places like Mar y Mar are hard to replace. When a restaurant can stay part of your routine and your memories for decades, you know they are doing something right.

The shrimp was a bit on the chewy side, and while everything tasted fine, it didn't totally wow me. The octopus tostada had good flavor, though. The agua de hibiscus was actually one of the highlights -- perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too plain. Super refreshing and definitely something I'd order again. The ambiance is lively and energetic, especially with the singers, but it does get pretty loud. It's open seating, so you walk in and find your own table until someone comes by with menus. Service was okay -- not super attentive, but friendly enough. On the plus side, the food came out quickly, which is always appreciated. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars. If it were a little less loud and the service a bit more attentive, it would easily be a stronger rating. Still a solid spot for a casual meal!

The molcajete (traditional stone grinding bowl) $34.27 is fish, chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, bell peppers, green onions, cheese & tortillas. It is meant for two or more people.
