    Clockwise from left: Café Latte, Strawberry Matcha, Cappuccino Cream Cake
    Rose T.

    Located on the 1st floor of the Hillsdale Mall, this outpost is much larger than the SF Japantown location. They had run out of a lot of items, including coffee jelly, by the time we got there on a Sunday around 3:00pm. Our order: Strawberry Matcha ($5.50): Requested no ice +Matcha was strong and not grainy +Refreshing and not super sweet +No upcharge for no ice -Very little strawberry puree at the bottom Café Latte (Double - $5.35) +Not my drink, but there were no complaints. Slice of Cappuccino Cream Cake ($5.85): +Strong coffee flavor infused in the cake and cream +Not too sweet or heavy -Cake was on the dry side Side notes: 1.) Self-serve napkins and utensils 2.) Indoor and outdoor covered patio seating 3.) Free parking in the Hillsdale Mall parking garage *Verdict: 4 stars for the food and drinks, but 5 stars for the AMAZING service. My mom accidentally knocked over my dad's coffee after taking a sip. An employee must've seen what happened and told the manager, who came out to the patio shortly after. She asked my dad if he was okay and offered to replace his coffee on the house. She was so sweet and went above and beyond, turning that frown upside down.

    This place is just a shell of what it used to be. Whoever was in charge of their remodel should be committed. It used to be such a warm, welcoming place, and now it's worse than a hospital cafeteria. Everything is cold, stark and falling apart. The quality of the food has also gone way downhill (see ham and cheese croissant photo). The coffee is served at scalding, with only an always almost empty of milk and a few scattered packets of Splenda to temper it. The staff is trying their best but they are clearly overworked and underpaid. I appreciate that the sample dish is usually filled. People will keep coming here because there aren't a ton of offerings at Hillsdale, but it is no longer the pleasant place it used to be.

    Went here with my parents for an afternoon snack. The store is clean and has indoor and outdoor seating. I mainly came here because I wanted to try one of the seasonal items. The lady who helped us was nice but didn't provide us with any recommendations on items. We chose to sit outside even if it was a little windy. 1. Matcha melon pan: Deliciously tasty. It was light, and I loved the little crust on the outer shell. No shortage on matcha filling, which I loved, and it had the lightly sweet melon flavor. 2. Mango coconut pastry: I usually alternate between this and the strawberry tart. 3. Walnut cream cheese bread: My mom's favorite snack, a classic staple here. 4. Chicken empanadas: My mom's favorite here as well. Nice chicken filling that leaves her stuffed. 5. Cinnamon sugar danish bar: I got this for my dad thinking it was similar to a donut stick, but it ended up being dry and uneventful.

    Nothing better than a visit from a friend bearing delectable treats. What a nice surprise!! I couldn't help taking a peak before everyone else. Then I not so subtlely suggested we cut each treasure into small portions for a tasting, of everything. It was afternoon and perfect time for a treat! Cousin's friend brought: strawberry and peach danishes and almond twist. My favorite was the sweet tartness of the peach. The fruit in all the danishes was delicious. (4/5). For me, the tastiest part of the special delivery was the curried puff. Deep fried, golden brown goodness filled with a savory, deep flavored curry. This alone will keep me coming back for more..! Thank you friend for remembering my cousin and I. Thank you Andersen for feeding us so well this afternoon..!

    More Protein, anyone?! The service was so-so. Not very friendly. The location needs some update in maintenance. Many pastries by the counter are not covered since it is near the exit/entrance. the food is okay.

    Pork torta $10.95 and this was just half of it! 4/7/22

    This is a solid 3-4 star spot, I am choosing to go with 4 since they have always provided me friendly service and the pastries are delicious, plus it's a nice alternative to the mall food court. Tucked away in one of the halls of the Hillsdale Mall, this bakery always has intoxicating smells of fresh baked bread that will pull you in. I've lived nearby for a while, so I've dropped in more than just once. Whether to grab a pastry while window shopping, or to warm up with a hot soup or tea and catch up with friends, I have never had a really bad experience here. During the pandemic and workin from home, I found they are a nice lunch alternative with plenty of great sandwich options. The pork torta was an unexpected find, but it delivered. I was fearing a wimpy torta, but it was hearty and delicious, something you might find at your favorite taqueria. I could have saved half for 2nd lunch, but that's no fun. At around $9-$10 each, it's a solid value. Back in summer 2022 at least, seating was plentiful and they have some tables outside, but sectioned off from the passerby. Perfect for sunny weather or just to get away. Check them out next time you need a pick me up, to get through your shopping!

    I had a raging craving for banh mi, but I didn't want to haul ass to the south bay (duc huong is…read morestill my favorite). M sandwiches pleasantly surprised me with its warm crusty bread, crisp tender bbq pork, and fresh cilantro and pickled veggies. The place is tiny - really no seating indoors and just a few chairs outside - but I'm adding this spot to my regular to-go rotation. I love that they give you potato chips with every sandwich, and unwrapping every sandwich that has the twine tied around it feels like you are unbundling a treasure. One tip - I thought the grilled lemongrass beef sandwich would be similar to the bbq pork one, but the beef was more like a meatloaf. Still good! Just not what I was expecting.

So, we were deprived.,.....Will M Sandwiches fulfill the hunger? Ordered: Lemongrass Beef and Spicy Shrimp Banh Mi Lemongrass Beef. 4/5. Generous minced beef filling. A tad on the sweet side and heavy on the pickled vegs. I like my Banh Mi herb-i. Would order again! Spicy Shrimp. 1/5 25 years ago, there's a Banh Mi place on Polk street that sell Shrimp Banh Mi. We were hoping this can be it. Unfortunately, M Sandwich fall short. Shrimp was bland. With the sweet and tart pickled vegs, the whole sandwich lacks of umami . Did M Sandwich satisfy the hunger? Almost!

Not sure if that is how you spell it. But its a closed bun and inside of it is beef and cheese. Almost like a cheeseburger instead the bun is like a jelly donut and instead of the jelly is broken down beef in cheese. So good!! This place is BIG with Polynesians & Pacific Islanders mainly for their fresh Kale sipi/moa & manioke or rice. Their curry lamb & curry chicken is made freshly & they have their own mango otai. Me & my family moved out of the neighborhood but still come here when we can because I kid you not, there is no other place in the bay area where they make curry lamb/chicken fresh out in the ISLAND STYLE. Theres a huge difference how Pacific Islanders make it & how Indians make it. The place itself is not large. They have about 5 tables that sit about 2 ppl and they have a table outside for those that wanna eat outside. You can def dine in but if youre a large group you might take up the whole venue. I usually order and go. Little history, this place has been in the Shoreview neighborhood for 32-35 years. It is owned by a fijian couple. The man was named Harry and his wife. Harry unfortunately passed away and his wife & one of his sons are holding it down. One of the local small businesses that are still going to this day.

I get the sandwich and I open it up and I see the most disgusting black goop inside the sandwich.. In all the years of ordering deli sandwiches this is gotta be the grossest thing I've looked at.. so I called CJ's and let them know what happened. I was really grossed out and I had been a customer there for a while... The lady was really rude to me on the phone. She had no integrity whatsoever. I had DoorDash on the phone as well. This is a quality control issue. She never even offered to make good. I asked for the owner's name... I will never eat at this deli again or order from them!! I will be providing pictures so that other local residents can see their quality of meat or whatever they use and their lack of integrity. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

Cali Chicken Parm is my fav sandwich there - the sourdough is delicious and crunchy, it's warm and hot pressed with gooey mozzarella cheese, and the marinara sauce is savory and delicious. I've had their Chicken Lickin sandwich but I always go back to the chicken parm! Not much seating, minus a few outdoor seats out front, it's good to take it to go!
