Had the pasta it was delicious
by Alexa E
Omelette was a little plain
by Chloe D
Ok breakfast... just not particularly worth the $77 for 2 adults & 1 child. Next time we get pastries & coffee and save the omelette for the nest trip to IHOP.
by Robert A.
Ham and Gruyère croissant is just okay :\
by Kat C
Awesome Chicken Sandwich
by Wayne S
Eggs and mochas please but watch out for the prices

Get the almond croissant. One of the best I've had.
by Abbey K.
Delicious pull chicken sandwich! Latte was served in a big bowl.
by Kat C
Their breads are delicious.
by Karla
One of the few places around with mini baguettes, perfect for those times when you can't finish a whole one before it turns into a rock.
by Josh W.
The Rotisserie chicken is so tender in the salad, it's delicious. If you are very hungry, this is a small portion.
by Jorge E
Burger was fantastic. Colossal onion rings
by Rohan D.
Ridiculous price for bacon. $7 for two strips is crazy, even if it's laced with drugs
by Rohan D.
Great bacon!
by Nicholas D.
It smells like delicious fresh baked bread just walking past this place.
by Alice L
They have outdoor seating which is very nice in the Spring and Summer.
by Renee Budak
Great ciabatta bread. Sandwhic he's are amazing yet expensive. Gets busy in the mornings.
by Armelle Goreux
Batatas fritas, sobremesas, atendimento
by Maria Lina
Baked goods are okay
by Clayton Nall
Food was fine but expensive and the whole place is jammed with rich [redacted].
by Virginia M.
Pricey (~$20 per person for brunch), but all of the items they serve are local and the quality is second to none.
by Jesse Johnston
Best breakfast place near Stanford
by Angel V.
Great French toast and omlettes
by Lenny
Corned beef breakfast and hit chocolate with huge marshmallows FTW
by Rochelle King
Terrible. Came for Sunday brunch and was told the wait would be 30 mins. Waited 1 hour before deciding to try elsewhere.
by Tanner C.
Hot chocolate
by Allen .
Go for the faro as a change of pace to pasta. You won't be disappointed.
by James H.
Morning bun is yummy. Not super excited with the cappuccino.
by Basy Ha
The onion rings... Good god the onion rings.
by Alex P.
The farroto with vegetables is a creative vegetarian option. Give it a whirl!
by Au
Strozzapreti. Rarely seen in a menu and totally worth a try.
by James H.
Great food, location and service! Best place in Palo Alto and close to Stanford University - don't miss it!
by Anna J
Tasty beef hash that doesn't feel heavy. Very loud and hard to hear people across from you.
by Brandon C
The veggie quiche at the bakery is always a hit with our 2 year old. It's heavenly.
by Melissa C
Coffee and pastries with a nice mood
by Andrea C.

The Charles Harris Baker, a thing of beauty, a drink of refinement.
by Clarinda M.
Get the hot chocolate (and a napkin).
by Erik C.
Good food. Terrible service. In a pretty empty restaurant it took forever to order and longer to get the check. Worst part was my server was mia otherwise i would've flagged him
by Winter R.
Thick cut juicy bacon, fresh strawberry jam, latte serve in a bowl, must try
by Minion R.
The breakfast is excellent here
by Lee H.
Great for dinner, but brunch left a bit to be desired - slow service, so-so food and high prices.
by Anthony M.
Yogurt and fresh fruit = the best
by Angela
Peach and blueberry pie is excellent.
by Alexei G.
I want to ask them what brand of panini maker they use because even a simple ham and cheese panini was cooked to perfection. Crispy, good ridge width, warmth, yum!
by Amy M.
I love the cranberry walnut bread in the bakery.
by Rob P.
They do everything so well here. You can't go wrong! And the people are great! Sit outside or at the bar in the morning...
by Au
Chango is very attentive and child friendly
by Sophia Y.
Great hot chocolate, especially with a marshmallow. The cookies are amazing; ask them to warm them up for you.
by Gracie L.
Ask them to warm up your cookie at the bakery
by Gracie L.
The high noise level is perfect when you have small children. Enjoyed a lovely french toast and basic breakfast despite a cold noisette.
by Catherine M.
It's really hard to find a better cafe for breads & pastries, fresh food and great coffee all under the same roof & shady oak. One of my favourites on the Peninsula
by David T.
The salmon has been taken off the menu.
by Arne H.
Great costumer service!

by Trevor C.
The bakery part is phenomenal. Amazing cookies. But pretty much everything is great.
by Spencer S.
very disappointed for the service this afternoon...the waitress...
by Nallely G.
Sit at the counter. The servers are the best and its the best way to have a couples meal unless you want to be alone.
by Sonia W.
The hot chocolate surprised me.
by Angela T.
Carrot soup is one of my faves. Sit outside with the lighted tree and heat lamps!
by Jessica C.
Ask for baguette vs their regular bread. So much better. In fact, if something isn't right, just ask and they will make it so...love this place.
by KK
Yummy veggie sandwich! Get it grilled.
by Au
If you tell your waiter you want to split the appetizer they'll actually bring it out on two plates and you actually get more than if you split it yourself!
by Josh C.
If you ask, they will heat your scone etc. a wonderful treat!
by Diane B.
Warm beignets = instant happiness.

A triumph of fresh, a failure of flavour

Order the shortribs, they may be the best ones you will ever have

$12 mimosa? Absurdly overpriced. $12 pulled chicken sandwich with brie and smoked bacon? Much better and amazingly delicious. Loved the tasty pickles that came with it too. Staff very courteous!

The local purveyors who supplied the ingredients for each item are listed directly on the menu: some well-known sources include Mariquita Farm, Cowgirl Creamery, Niman Ranch and Fulton Valley Farms.
by Gilt City
Excellent coffee here.
by adrian k.
Local organic food and fresh baked bread. Great food and they support the local community-- excellent combo.
by Shauna C.
Brunch: the best corned beef hash and eggs I have ever had. Brilliant, stupendous.
by David W.
Best restaurant I've been too in awhile. EVERYTHING we ordered was amazing and perfectly cooked/baked. I would be more specific but I get the feeling everything on the menu is just as great.
by Gabriella R
Tummy boner: crispy rabbit rillette in rabbit jus, bavette steak in bonito bagna cauda, drunken bourbon bread pudding.1 of the best meals I've had in a while. Warm, inviting, and great service 2 boot.
by Ovidio C.
Dinner is great, albeit a little pricey. When the bakery closes, they put out left over bread to take home in the cafe.
by Larry B.
I love this restaurant...fresh seasonal produces from local farmers!
by Melanie B.
Don't get an iced latte. I always do, and I always regret it.
by Nadav G.
Do get a Peanut Butter Bar. May be the highlight of your day
by Nadav G.
AMAZING onion rings--the best I've ever had. And really thick strips of bacon.
by Kim L.
Hot cocoa is delish! Rich cocoa flavor...between a milk and dark chocolate. Very creamy, een with nonfat milk-topped off with a homemade marshmallow. A tad bit on the sweet side...
by D
The drunken bread pudding is must try. Made with bourbon and does not disappoint.
by jennifer d.
Small peanut butter bar is my regular. French rolls for $.45 is nice. Walnut leavain is my favorite bread. I should try other breads too.
by Emrecan D.
They have Hot Cross Buns in the bakery for Easter. Amazingly great.
by Peter D
Best burger in the South Bay!!!
by andrea C
The Turtle Tart is just amazing. The problem is that Mayfield Cafe does NOT serve that dessert. You need to get it from the Mayfield Bakery next door.
by Emrecan D.
Great cranberry/sourdough boule
by Randall K.
No coffee refills. Lame.
by Osh Stag V.
Overpriced but damn, their baked eggs for breakfast are fantastic.
by Stefania P.
If you go to the restaurant later in the evening they give out loaves of bread left over from the bakery.
