The waffles, pancakes, and French toast are all amazing and such good quality! Their hot chocolate is great, and as someone who is very picky about hot chocolate, it is my favorite. The staff is so kind, and the pastries like the blueberry biscuit and cinnamon rolls are so big and delicious. The service is always quick, and all the food is high quality. Lots of families and dogs, making the environment homey and nice. Sometimes the line can get long on the weekends, but it’s usually not too bad.

I visited for the first time Cafe Borrone and I was happily surprised by its quality! I went there with my partner and it was busy. Nothing unusual in a sunny Sunday in a restaurant with such big outdoor dining space. But it was easy to find a table for us. We ordered the scramble eggs #6 with mushrooms and the banana pancakes. Food was delicious. And coffee was good too.

Looking for a fabulous breakfast/brunch spot in Menlo Park/near Palo Alto? I was…and I found it! Although I was late to discover this café...it is obviously no secret...it was packed with customers! I had scoped the menu before walking in and realized there were many items on their menu that looked like something I would order. Yay...Options!!! Once I got inside, I saw a line of people holding menus and then I saw registers at the front of the line. This must be where I start. Once I got to the front of the line, I told the gentleman that was going to place my order that this was my first time at Café Borrone. He was so nice, knowledgeable and helpful...I knew I wanted a scramble and a latte, but I also knew I wanted something else. I thought about a side of toast but this smart guy talked me into a pastry. I asked which one was his favorite because there were so many good ones to choose from...I couldn't decide. He said the blueberry biscuit was his favorite and I said "okay...I'll have one of those". While I was ordering; I learned that everything is sold à la cart, my food gets dropped off to me at whatever table I pick, I will need to grab my latte from their coffee bar, and that the ingredients they use to make their food comes from local farms. Perfect!!! I ended up with a latte, a blueberry biscuit, a ham and cheese scramble, and a side of breakfast potatoes. He handed me a number (to place on the table for my food delivery), my biscuit along with a napkin and utensils and then I went over to the coffee bar to grab my latte. As I waited for my latte, I met another nice employee. He was making my drink and he told me that the pastry item I picked is his favorite. YUUUSSSS! At this point, without eating a thing, I felt like I had scored and literally just wanted to eating the biscuit as I stood there waiting for my drink. Ha...my drink didn't even take a long time...I was just so excited for the biscuit! Buuut I managed to have a bit of self-co

Adorable interior, with so much indoor and outdoor seating. Many different drinks at the espresso bar, and amazing baked goods (highly recommend the orange cranberry scone and the banana walnut muffin). My oat milk iced lattes are always perfect, pretty big size for the price. They also make an incredible matcha latte, so vibrant and strong! Staff are so nice and helpful. I come here all the time!! They also have delicious food, the veggie wrap and veggie bowl are so yummy for breakfast, and the garlic bread and any of their soups (especially minestrone) are so good for dinner.

This place is a vibe! The food is ofcourse good but comparable to other American brunch places. The differential for them is the atmosphere and the crowd in the outdoor seating! Their hot chocolate is one of the best I have had! The waffles were the best item amongst the sweet offerings as it was perfect crisp.

Cafe Barrone is one of my all time favorites! Born and raised in the Bay Area and this is one of my top places to visit! Hang out and enjoy it all! Always! The cappuccinos, lattes., drink, quality of food, freshness, variety, service and atmosphere! I can never decide what to get because I want one of everything! If you’re visiting The Bay check it out! But don’t tell too many people it’s already always crowded!! It’s that good!!! Thanks Cafe Barrone for lasting through the pandemic and consistently being one of the best in the BAY!! Pics are just from my last visit! But I have more!! ❤️🙏
