Inside is a bit noisy but with a nice ambiance - outside is pleasant and quiet but you're just on a sidewalk to the parking lot. Easy parking, by the way, as it's in a strip mall. We went at 11:30 on a Thursday and there was no wait. Food came out quickly and piping hot.

Honestly, the vibe carries this place lol…read more It's very fancy, modern, and sitting at the high-top chairs looking out the giant window is prime people-watching. We got the California Benedict and the steak and eggs; both were good, but nothing to write home about. You're definitely paying a premium for the setting and the neighborhood. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back, but if you want a chic environment and don't mind a slightly higher bill, it's a nice spot to sit and have a meal.

Known for their fluffy soufflé Japanese style pancakes, this cozy little cafe is located in a small…read morestrip mall in Santa Clara. It looks like they took some feedback and offer many savory options such as ramen, bulgogi beef, fries, gyoza, etc. I don't know how that pairs well with the pancakes (a simple bacon, sausage, etc would've been easier but not my monkey not my circus). Note that because pancakes are made to order-it takes about 20 minutes to prepare. I ordered the original out of the 7 other options available (ube, Nutella, custard, etc.) and found it delicious. My friend ordered the matcha and seemed to enjoy it. As they are a cafe, they also offer a variety of drinks. The atmosphere is very cutesy, very demure-very pink. A great place to take the girls or those who identify as such to.

Hanabusa cafe is located in a small plaza, but parking wasn't hard, maybe because I went on a weekday. Cafe decor is cute and feminine (baby pink and white color scheme). They have signs everywhere warning that pancakes take 25 minutes to make, which I found to be fairly accurate, so do be warned! I ordered an original soufflé pancake, and a latte to drink while waiting for the pancake. The latte was only okay, but was good to have something to drink while waiting since it takes so long. The pancakes were pretty yummy. Not as good as other soufflé pancakes I've had, but good. The whipped cream that came along with it was also good, but not amazing. I do wish there was some sort of syrup served alongside it. I wasn't a huge fan of the plate arrangement, maybe a little too cutesy for me? Service is not really interactive or personal. They take your order at the counter, and you go pick it up when it's ready. Overall, this cafe was only okay for me. This is one of those instances where I'll reiterate that my rating is likely because of my personal preferences! If you like a cutesy cafe, and looking for soufflé pancakes, I'd recommend!

Very nice restaurant interior, fresh ingredients, and super accommodating staff. Will def be returning.

I just spent three days in the ER eating hospital food, and this was the first place I wanted to go for a good breakfast. It was the meal I'd been looking forward to the whole time. We came in after the lunch rush, and the restaurant had plenty of open seats. Even so, service was slow and we had to ask for everything. Then the manager and owner asked us to move tables because that's where they like to hold their meetings. We declined, but being asked at all, with so many other tables available, was disappointing. After the week I'd had, I wanted to feel welcome at a place I love, and I didn't. I hope this was just an off day, because the food has earned my loyalty over the years. But guests who are already seated and enjoying a meal shouldn't be asked to give up their table for a staff meeting, especially when there are plenty of other places to meet.

I definitely want that french toast everytime I go. The pancakes on the other hand were not that good, you know how restaurant pancakes are usually amazing and they taste better then at home. Well these were not that. If I didnt get the Chunky Monkey topping of strawberries, bananas and hot Nutella sauce, it would have been highly disappointing. Im sorry but the pancakes were not good at all, I would never order them again. But the french toast is a winner. So go and enjoy, you can thank me later. Protip: You might luck out and find parking right in front but if you don't they do have parking in the rear.

Service is usually pretty quick once you're seated and the wait staff is always kind and attentive.

The interior has a pleasant modern farmhouse vibe and I always bring friends and family from out of town because it's just such a unique spot. I talk this place up to everyone before I take them and once they go, they're still blown away by the quality and sheer size of the portions. If you haven't been, just try it!

The chicken and croffle were delicious, and we really enjoyed the fried rice too. The matcha latte was really good, but the Madagascar vanilla latte was just okay.

There is ample seating if you go early on the weekends (by 9:30 am would be my suggestion!). There's even outdoor seating but in a covered area.

​Overall Rating: (1 / 5) ​Title: Unacceptable…read moreexperience--hostile service, raw food, and unfair charges ​I had a terrible experience at Bill's Cafe on Sunday with my son. From the moment we walked in, we were met with hostile and unprofessional behavior. One of the waitresses, CeCe, was staring us down meanly and trying to provoke us for no reason. ​The issues only got worse from there: ​Unsafe Drinks: We ordered orange juices, but they had a strange burn when we took a sip, and my son noticed something unidentified floating in his glass. We couldn't drink them. ​Undercooked & Cold Food: The food came out suspiciously fast, and it was virtually inedible. The bacon was completely raw, the French toast was cold and unbaked inside, and the hash browns looked like plain mashed potatoes in the middle. It honestly felt like old leftover food. ​Bad Recovery: When we pointed out the raw bacon and asked for sausages instead, they brought out freezing cold sausages. At that point, we stopped eating completely and left the food on the table. ​Bizarre Pricing: The bill should have been cleared given the unconsumed food, but we were overcharged for basic items--including $14 for the orange juices we couldn't drink and $7 for two eggs. Even after taking one breakfast off, we ended up paying $34 for food that went straight into the trash outside. ​There seems to be a total lack of management and service standards at this establishment. Save your money and skip Bill's Cafe altogether. If you want a great breakfast spot nearby, check out Mils Cafe in Milpitas instead.
