It's so nice to have this spot in an area with lots of companies. Gives those workers a nice option! And they offer a variety of different things! This is our 2nd visit and 2nd time getting the chicken shawarma lol bc we loved it so much. But will defs tey more things on their menu. Also the service is so friendly! Didn't get his name, but the usual guy at the front is a hoot and such a sweet heart! Him and the older lady make the food taste that much better :)

This was the strangest, most disrespectful experience I've had. This place is run by a few Latin…read morewomen and one Latin man. While we were ordering food, they seemed very dismissive of us and didn't want to take our order or help us. When they did, they referred to my wife and I as they spoke to each other in derogatory terms and words. They obviously didn't know that my wife is Nicaraguan or they just didn't care. We did nothing to them, spoke to them with a friendly demeanor while ordering food to go. So I'm very confused as to where this came from. I'm not the type to accuse people of being racist. After 913 Yelp reviews, I've had bad customer service. But this was something different. I've never even thought that there were people brazen or bold enough to outwardly express their racist, derogatory, disrespectful thoughts while working in the service industry. But there's always a first. And unfortunately we experienced this here. For Hana's, my hope is you do well despite your attitudes toward others. You promote hate and racism, and it's unfortunate you weren't taught better. Life is too short. Spread love not hate.

If you're nearby, definitely stop in and try the Raw Honey Latte--it's perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.

I love the fresh orange juice and carrot juice ( especially the half oj half carrot combo). The waffles are nice and crispy and i really like the corned beef hash thats made in house! I've yet to order something i didn't like. the staff is super friendly and Im constantly impressed with how fast they get everything done when it's really busy on the weekend. including kitchen staff because food comes out pretty fast for the labor that goes into cooking it. this place is really cozy. would be the ideal place to catch up with friends or family or have a casual brunch date. lots of extra outdoor seating, which is phenomenal on a nice day.

I had been coming here for over 7 years, I had never had a waitress screamed at me at my table…read morebecause I gave my dog water from the plastic cup, and kept saying she has to threw the plastic cup in the trash because I used it to give my 14 years old dog water, I waited for someone to Come and asked but we did not even got utensils until the food came , all she did was just kept screaming like I cannot understand, of course I did and it was crystal clear and she angrily continued for several More times, she did not give me the time to respond, then walked away and I did not think she wanted to bring me another glass of water, then finally she did and kept saying the same thing, " I threw the cup in the trash because of my dog had some water from it, kept saying the cup is for human not for dogs. I know what I did and I heard her loud and clear, but she said it like want us to leave because she looks so angry. I will be more than glad to pay for it, but she made us all Felt like we were stupid not understanding, we should had just left but we just came back from Burlingame and wanted to go to Cafe Central but the line was impossible to wait, so we said let's just go to our favor spot which is Brother's cafe. But after today experience we will not return, she did not even came by and asked if the food was okay or if we need anything else, we had to ask someone else for a paper cup. It took her a few minutes before she brought me another cup of water and repeat the same thing again and again that she threw the plastic cup in the trash because of me. The worst part we notice she was eyeing in us and told her coworkers, as we left the waiter that normally come by gave my sister a hug and we can tell, he said see you guys next week... which it will not happen. She did not need to scream so many times and repeated herself so many times even the table next to us just turn around and said what is the big deal. Yes I should had know better but my 14 year old dog was happen and issue with the heat from Burlingame. I love this place but after the server ( Latina women with glasses mid 30's-40's)not just try and give us a lecture and scream at me and kept telling me because of what I did she throw the plastic cup away, instead she could be more calm and use a better wording we would had enjoyed our late breakfast. She only had to say it once but she made a comment that is not expected, by eyeing us from afar and we feel Like she wanted us to leave, we could not enjoy today's meal. This is a restaurant not a home do some respect for your self and your customers. Thank you for the last 7 years of food, we had enjoyed every Sunday since. By the way I would be more than happy to pay for the plastic cup, and I am sorry this upset her so much she made us felt like we are not welcome anymore. I had a business in San Francisco and my employees know better than to behave with such attitude.

Inside, there is only enough room to place your order - the few tables they have are outside in their garden area. I got the peanut butter acai bowl. They also have an assortment of Brazilian pastries that all looked amazing so we got an assortment of savory pastries to try. They brought those out nice and toasted and they were delicious and cheesy on the inside. My acai bowl hit the spot - beautifully arranged with a great ratio of fresh fruit, granola, and chilled creamy acai with the flavor of peanut butter mixed in - it made for a sweet, yet healthy lunch. Would definitely come back.

Cons: Cant taste the coffee at all, asked for extra foam only to get it no foam and extra hot. I could tell just by the sound she wasn't airating it enough. I wasn't asked what size I want and was given a medium. Ordered a bagel and it's totally stale and not chewy at all.

The interior had cool green tiling on the counter, hanging plants, and a little stand with fresh flowers for sale. Ordering was convenient on the electronic kiosk. For drinks, I ordered the Mint Lemonade (so tasty and refreshing), but the caffeinated beverages looked awesome, as well. For food, the 3 of us ordered the Pistachio Berry Twice Bake Croissant, Smoked Salmon & Labneh Bagel, Cream Cheese & Heirloom Tomato Bagel, and Armenian Sujuk to share. The Pistachio Berry Croissant was unreal! The outside was perfectly flakey and the inside was so gooey and delicious. The bagels themselves were mediocre (I always have low expectations for California bagels), but the filling was great, especially the smoked salmon and labneh. The Armenian Sujuk (pizza) as very tasty, and was also great leftover the next day. Service was quick and friendly. Would happily return for more!

I think I like this cafeteria the best out of all the ones on campus, NOT only because it has boba,…read morebut it also had decent Asian foods among other options. The 4 stars is compared to the other cafeterias on campus but compared to other cafeteria's outside of Genentech, it'd be a 3 star. I'm sure I give plenty of excuses to be able to deliver or do something in the offices around this cafeteria so that I can stop by to get a cup of boba. It isn't the best that I've had but it helps my craving for boba until I get the chance to get some during the weekend. I usually avoid the thai tea just because it has a horrible aftertaste to me (probably made from powder or something from a bag...that isn't fresh tea leaves). Yes I'm very picky with my teas. I'm glad that they have a fruit drink option for the boba too just because I always find it weird just eating boba alone (...but I still do it). As for the food, just as the other reviews say, it's just like Panda Express. They have pretty decent entrees to choose from (even had duck once but it was a bit dry for me). I can always count on the sushi being pretty fresh here and it's made when ordered. Prices are subsidized so no complaints on the prices. I can always find seating here too and it's generally pretty clean. Final Thoughts: I think this is my favorite cafeteria but a little out of the way for me :[

This also has a small selection of dim sum which can sometimes be cold. B24/25 also has the typical deli, salad bar, grill, and sushi. Desserts are not the best, but I find that to be a campus wide problem. If you come later, towards the end of lunch, they will pile on the servings for Chinese. Food that is not cooked fresh tends to dry out. Great outdoor patio seating (avoid the tables directly under the trees as insects tend to drop down and bite you). The cafeteria is split between Asian area and the rest with seating in between. Great color choices for the decór. Their tall cups also fit perfectly in the tray return...unlike the ones in Bldg 33. My second favorite place to go for lunch on campus!

I did decide on getting a fancy drink, an iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha. I'm so glad I did too. This is now one of my favorite mochas that I've ever had. I highly recommend it!

The main event, adobo chicken & carne asada tacos were both delicious. I asked for red sauce since I couldn't interpret all the options. Wasn't my fav, but my bad.

I ordered the Godfather sandwich based on previous photos. I thought it was going to be some kind of a loaded sandwich since it was $20 after tax. When I opened the box, I was a little bit worried that I had ordered the wrong sandwich because it was about the size of my hand. I looked at the photos and I thought ma'am it's kind of looks similar, but maybe I'm just missing something as a scale. But if you look at the layers of the meat, there are actually less layers now than there were 12 and eight months ago. I'm not saying it's a bad sandwich. I'm just saying it's a bad value. The Caesar salad seemed like it was prepackaged in a box. The cheese, kind of taste like refrigerator. And there was no lemon or any kind of anchovy sauce or flavor in the dressing. At the time of writing this review, this restaurant has 4.6 stars shame on me for not reading the recent reviews because I'm not sure I would have ventured here if I did.
