Ricotta pancakes & Uova Alla Romana
Lindsay C.

Conveniently located across from Stanford Children's Hospital, I thought I'd give this place a try and met my friend for brunch. She ordered the ricotta pancakes ($15) and I ordered Uova Alla Romana ($13). We ended up sharing, and I liked her food better than mine lol. You can't really go wrong with pancakes. The Uova Alla Romana was odd. I really like poached eggs so I wanted to give this a try, but the two pieces of toast were small and sad. And then there were just random pieces of celery and olives with olive oil drizzled on top. I don't recommend this dish. However, I do like their hot chocolate. There is no indoor seating, but you can sit outside the front and back of the barn.

I came here to meet a friend during my lunch break. It's a cute little spot with limited indoor seating and a good number of outdoor seating. If it's warm out, they have umbrellas, but they also have bees so beware. You order inside and they deliver it to your table. I got the caprese sandwich and it came with a salad. It's on the pricier side, but standard for the food places on campus. My friend got a sandwich and the chocolate croissant, which she enjoyed. They also have parking specifically for tootsies and the other restaurant next door.

Burger and fries

I stopped by today on my lunch break and really enjoyed my lunch here! My coworkers recommended the burger and fries and they were good! I really liked the fries, and the burger is partly veal so it has a unique flavor. The cashier was super nice and they brought my food out quickly. The quality was really good! Tootsie's is fast casual and there is outdoor seating, and you can also sit under the tent at the Italian restaurant next door. Overall, I'm a fan!

Sandwich shop across Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Small shop with limited seatings inside but they do have outdoor seatings. Service was quick. I got the Porchetta sandwich and it came with a side of salad. The salad was just salad and came with balsamic vinegar. The sandwich was a bit small. The pork was ok, good flavor but on the drier side. This place is pricy for the amount of food. Was told their donuts were good so might have to go earlier for the sweets and pastries.

Tuna panino, salad with dressing on the side, and an iced espresso with almond syrup and a splash of soy milk.

Met a friend for lunch here. It's located at Stanford University, across the street from the new children's hospital, with lots of free parking for people dining at the restaurant. The outdoor patio is lovely with plenty of seating and umbrellas for shade. Nice setting. I ordered a tuna panino. Loved it, the tuna was creamy, the bread was toasted perfectly, and I loved how slices of hard boiled eggs were layered perfectly on sliced radishes. Best tuna sandwich ever. I usually avoid coffee after noon but I saw a drink on their espresso menu that I didn't recognize (lecesse?)? I asked the cashier and he said that it's 2 shots of espresso over ice plus an almond syrup. I asked for it with a splash of soy milk. Loved it.

Spent $20 on a breakfast sandwich with a fancy name for it to look like it came out of Arbies. Literally a croissant with eggs and a slice of meat. No dressings just a dry @ss croissant. After driving 2 hrs to this area for an appt I was looking forward to a nice breakfast. Their "latte" was watered down coffee that got thrown away. I will not be back

Caffe latte - really good coffee!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area- and it's about time I write a review and tell people about it!! The food is always delicious, the ambiance is lovely and the staff is always so friendly! Parking: There is ample of parking close by. They even have reserved parking for people who come to eat here or the neighboring restaurant so that's great! Food: We absolutely love the food! Highly recommend the arancini balls (my favorite!) as well as the friend chicken (melts in your mouth!). The arancini balls are absolutely heavenly. They are paired nicely with a simple salad and homemade focaccia bread. The chicken sandwich is to die for, it also just melts in your mouth with each bite. Honestly my husband and I take both dishes and share, or just keep them for our own haha! Ambiance: This place is tucked away in its own spot. You order at the front and then you go and find a spot to sit outside - there's plenty of tables to choose from also some with shade. It's like taking a break from life and enjoying a moment of absolutely pleasure. Staff: The staff is always super friendly and nice. There's always a manager there to oversee things which is always great having someone higher up be present. You can tell the staff is super hard working! One thing to note: this place closes early at 2PM. And usually lunch time is pretty crowded as a lot of staff from Stanford hospital close by come here so make sure to come early! I give this place 5/5 and highly recommend to anyone in the area to come and experience it for themselves.

Fritattta

We ordered a bombolone, cappuccino, and the frittata. The service was kind but efficient and my cappuccino was smooth and well done. This place is a nice escape from the chaos of the hospital environment.

Tootsie burger
Wil L.

Came here for lunch today. My wife and I ordered the tootsie burger and the porchetta sandwich w/ a twist. Service is always top notch and the folks here are very friendly. We arrived at 11:27 craving the panini but they stop serving breakfast at 11:00!!!! Bummer. But blessing in disguise I guess. We made the porchetta sandwich a salad (see photo). My wife and I split the meals so I got an amazing salad plus half a cheeseburger with those delicious homemade fries. I must say, I did not feel bloated and everything was very tasty. I would definitely order this again.

Frittata

Stumbled upon this place and ending up enjoying the restaurant! First of all, loved the location! You walk into this little area that's next to the other restaurant Vina Enoteca. You feel like you are in another city too! Anyway, the restaurant itself is very cute. A little cozy place with patio seating. It's a great place for anyone, including your most beloved pets! Plenty of parking. Ordered frittata with pancetta and toast with jam. It was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed every bite. Also ordered a butter croissant sandwich with ham and cheese paired with salad and oh my goodness the croissant was so soft and delicious! Loved how it still has a little crisp when I bit into it. Lastly, I ordered the donut stuffed with Nutella and it was so freaking good. Best way to end my meal. Service was superb! Definitely check out this spot if you haven't been to yet!

The line to order on the backside of the restaurant.

This is one of the best places to grab a causal lunch on Stanford's campus! You order your food and they bring it to you. You do not have a dedicated server. I ordered the Tootsie's hamburger which was perfectly cooked medium rare and came with Swiss cheese, grilled onions, and sun dried tomatoes with fries. Talk about juicy and delicious! The Spinacio salad was delicious as well and light but filling. The chicken sandwich was dry and not good. The grilled bread was yummy but no mayo or anything on it. It was just dry. Do not recommend. They have seating outside near lavender fields which makes this place super relaxing and dreamy. Would definitely recommend while at Stanford. Very California fresh and lovely vibes!

Plain donut
Linda Z.

Was in the area for work and thought why not try this cute little spot and see if it's actually decent considering its in the Hub of the Stanford hospitals. Short verdict: Very pleasantly surprised. This poached egg in toast is wayyy more flavorful than it looks. The celery and Kalamata olives work great together. There is a perfect amount of salt, pepper, and moisture. The poach egg was perfect and runny just the way I like it! This sugar donut is also fantabulous! They have the options of nutella stuffed, vanilla cream, and plain. I ordered the plain and really enjoyed it, incredible fluffy in the inside! For the poached egg toast+ latte+ donut I paid $22.14. Hunger is satisfied and happy I indulged in a great meal to start the day

Morning view.

Loved this little piece of heaven...made us feel like we were back in Italy. The setting and service and food were perfect.

Decor is cute but sleek, vibes are calm, bar seating by window and a few small tables with seats. Ordering is fast at the kiosk front desk which doesn't seem to have a cashier. Lots of tasty drink options with milk choices and customizable sweetness and ice level - much appreciated! Cakes were delicious and filled with freshly whipped cream. We had the hojicha and biscoff ones. Not incredibly busy - a lot of orders were takeout. Cons: A lot of things were out of stock by 1pm but maybe this is due to Mother's Day. Pricey but the items were high quality. Store is a small footprint with limited utilities (no WiFi, bathroom was temporarily out of order). Parking is very difficult- it's on el Camino so the cars are unforgiving if you're trying to parallel park, and the road parallel by a block is not much better. It has an alley and a very cramped space in the back for a lot. Expect to walk.

I have already been to Covour a handful of times, mostly on weekdays, where I'm usually planted there for a few hours to do some work or study. On the weekends, it can get quite busy, while weekdays are more of a gamble depending on how many people are there. The parking lot is on the smaller side, so on busy days, it can feel a bit hectic. The space itself has a good number of tables to work or study from, along with great lighting. I really appreciate the selection of drinks they have, ranging from fun flavored lattes like tiramisu and burnt brown sugar to matchas, hojichas, and classic cafe staples like americanos and flat whites. Everything I've had here has been delicious and always hits the spot. They also have a range of food and toasts you can order. I recently got the ricotta and honey toast, which was delicious and light! Heads up, though, as expected, they do run low on stock later in the day. I came around 2 PM, and there were maybe four baked goods left. Overall, it's a great choice, and if you're in the area, definitely check them out.

It was limited on time (I think you can sign up to use it for 2+ hours and there were few outlets available unless you were lucky enough to sit at a seat next to one.
