We were in town for the football game and stumbled across this place the following morning. It gave off homey vibes. My entire family really enjoyed their meal. My mom ordered their biscuits and gravy and there was so much that we passed the plate around. read more

Bajis Cafe - Over easy eggs, potatoes, bacon & wheat toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain View, California

Been here several times for brunch and it has quite solid food. My go-tos are the omelettes and skillets, though I do like their skillets more. They are quite delicious and the portions are generous. If you choose the grated hash browns, they will be lined at the bottom of the skillet. I like my hash browns well done and slightly crispy. They make sure to fulfill my request here! I've had the orange juice several times and the taste is consistent. However, the juice is not from fresh oranges. Service is very slow. It takes a while to be seated, get your order taken, check to come out, and so on. They do not check on you during your meal. Not a problem, but if you need something, it takes a while for someone to be flagged down. Sometimes, they will acknowledge you, but then never come to your table, so you will have to continually try to flag someone down. It can be frustrating. read more

Bajis Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain View, California

Soooo good!!! I love the omelettes, waffles, coffee, everything. The staff are always polite and quick and very attentive. The ambiance is warm cafe vibe, it feels a bit like home. If your looking for a great place to eat- this place is amazing! read more

Great service, great food, loved the feel of the place, and felt valued. It was my first time today, and I'll be back! Thank you!

Bajis is a solid five stars. I love brunch here because the food is awesome and the service is also great. I also love that they serve grapefruit juice cause I love me some grapefruit juice (I feel like I can't find many places with grapefruit juice in the South Bay which is a bummer. Felt like it was available at every cafe in Berkeley where I went to school). They hashbrowns are also solid along with everything I've ordered. Definitely worth checking out for a casual brunch! read more

Bajis Cafe - Made my own omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain View, California

Bland. That was my first impression of the food. I ordered a simple egg, hash brown and country sausage breakfast. Oh, and with toast. The shredded has browns were quite crunchy on the outside which was nice. However, the inside was mushy and seem quite starchy. And bland. The eggs were rather blah. The country sausage was a very large patty! However it lacked any fennel flavor and was rather tasteless. The sourdough toast was quite thick which means it was nicely toasted on the outside but the center was soft and unremarkable. Fortunately there was Smuckers Blackberry jam! The quantity of food was good but the price was a bit steep, around $20. That's without the $4 coffee. Service was OK although my wife had to ask a different wait person for a coffee refill since ours was nowhere to be found. Atmosphere was good, signed sports pics on the wall. Bathrooms were clean. Not sure I would go again. read more

My bestie brought me here years ago and I find that I will drive (28 miles round trip) just so I can eat here. The food is good and the people are so amazing. They're always busy, but I've never really had to wait for a table. They have pretty much anything you could want from a diner. Pancakes, omelette, burgers, salads, soups, the list goes on. I like their huevos rancheros with bacon. I will usually get a mimosa and some coffee too. My daughter loves it too and we always have a good time. Love me some Bajis! read more

Came by here yesterday morning after seeing so many reviews of this place and having drove by here so many times. As local Mountain View residents for the past 14 years, it was our first visit here. We were hoping our experience would cause us to be blown out of our socks but our visit ended up to be so-so. Arrived here shortly before 11am and there were 2 groups ahead of us waiting to be seated. The guy behind the counter at the far end of the restaurant saw us and immediately came to us with clipboard in hand. He wrote down our names and we waited about 15 min. to be seated. There are 2 benches in the foyer that can easily seat up to 6 people. The restaurant is adorned with pictures and posters of great 49er players of the 80's (Montana/Rice) and the waiter mentioned that the owner is a big 49ers fan. Our waiter mentioned that Baji's has been around for the past 38 years. We were seated at a booth that can fit about 4 adults comfortably. The table had jelly packets and a syrup container (if you want maple syrup, it's $1.50 extra) as well as the utensils (forks and butter knives). The menu had so many choices to choose from and after meticulously studying the selections, my wife went with the Meat-lovers Omlettte, my son had a side order of Rib eye steak (for his protein) and a bowl of fruit, and I went with the French Toast Slammer. Now here are the pros and cons of our experience: Pros- French Toast Slammer- Pretty good. Bread was not soggy but firm- the right way it should be. Well made with the right consistancy of eggs, milk and cinnamon. Best out of the 3 choices. Not as soggy as Crapvine which is a plus. Service- 9 out of 10. Our waiter, Manuel P. was very attentive and always checked on us. Very friendly and concerned. Another older guy walked around and made sure our water cups were always full. His assistant waiter who was the same guy that took our names down on the clipboard mistakenly brought us the wrong orders. That's minus 1 point. Cons- - The LONG LONG wait for food. It took about 30 min. for our food to arrive. Sure, the place was packed as there were even more groups that arrived shortly after we were seated. I took a glance at the back kitchen and it seemed like there were only 2 cooks at the grill. The 3 of us were so hungry and since it was our first time, we were excited to see how well the food was prepared when we received it. - Rib-Eye steak- Plain and nothing special. Fruit bowl consisted of grapes, strawberries and other fruits- nothing out of the ordinary. - Meat Lovers Omlette- It was DRY- the eggs were dry, cheese was meh and the overall taste was just salty. Wife was not impressed and neither was I. - Not enough eggs in my French toast slammer. You can see on the picture of the open spots where they could have added at least another spoonful or 2 more. - Utensils are a little spotty, so make sure you rewipe them with a napkin. - Price- Ended up around $57 for 3 people. This included 1 small orange juice. It was a good thing I looked at the receipt as they had mistakenly charged us for 2 coffees when all I had was that OJ. I had them fix the charge. Make sure to check your receipt for any discrepancies and that you are properly charged for exactly what you ordered. You could be paying for someone else's meal. Taking a quick glance of the receipt will help. As for myself, I would definitely be back for the French toast. I think my wife was not impressed for a 2nd visit. My son would probably be interested in other choices, but I also have 2 daughters that have yet to try the place. Perhaps they'll be impressed. All they need to do in my case is make some slight changes, perhaps add some more eggs to the meal to make it look like it is $15 and also make sure the food isn't too salty next time. I understand that there are a lot of people waiting to be fed, but if you want those same people to return and fill up the restaurant again, you have to keep consistency in mind. read more

Went in a Sunday it was busy but we were able to be seated right away. We ordered Colorado omelet, Meat Lovers omelet and the veggie skillet. The food came super fast after we ordered it. The food was really good and the staff was nice. I would recommend! read more

Only been here once but I enjoyed my visit. The seating is well spaced and they have several indoor/outdoor tables. Really good menu, with breakfast served all day (who doesn't love breakfast all day?!) I opted for chicken and waffles, which I've only had a few times anywhere. It was above average but not overly impressive. The waffle was a bit chewy but the chicken was well spiced and only possibly a little overcooked. Coffee here is plenty bold. Not watered down that's for sure. And the service Juan provided was great, especially during this pandemic. I was glad to be able to sit for a meal while waiting for a nearby appointment. read more

Fantastic brunch place in Mountain View. Great good and friendly staff. I usually get the South of the Border omelette but their chicken and waffles are great as well. Prices are also very reasonable considering how expensive the fancy brunch places can be. This place matches them on quality of food and service but without the extra frills. Would highly recommend this place! read more

So excited to see that they are doing take out! And the food is still so amazing! And loved seeing some of our favorites on the Baji team there! Kids loved the waffle breakfasts and fresh orange juice, and a pre-mom day treat of a Central Expressway omelet. And coffee too! Yum! My kids could wait to eat it... read more

I greatly appreciate what Bajis is doing to be COVID cautious. I ordered my food through delivery and received it in the attached bag.

It is my first time here. I came to drop off my car for a nearby auto services and stopped by to have a late breakfast at Bajis Cafe. Omar, my waiter, was very friendly and courteous. The food was delivered fast and it was delicious. I had a FRENCH TOAST WITH MEDIAN WELL EGS and crispy HASH-BROW, accompanied by a delicious Vanilla almond latte. On top of that, they allowed me to sit at their porch as I needed to do my studies and wait for my car service to be done! I absolutely recommend this place for their food and their awesome staff. Thank you Bajis for adding joy to my day. Nivea. read more

Pretty solid brunch place for decent food and decent price. I wouldn't say this is one of those places that you would bring your out of town guests as a "must eat" destination, but definitely a place to come to get that brunch fix. I had the chicken fried steak, which was actually really good (one of the better ones I've had in a while) but on the smaller side. Still popping at 2 pm on a Saturday but no wait. read more

The service was wonderful, and the omelet was even better. I'm not big on their coffee, but they provide a truly delicious breakfast at a reasonable price, something that is pretty rare in the Silicon Valley. read more

Located in a run down strip mall, I came here with no expectations but was pleasantly surprised. The place is small but has plenty of seating. We were seated and helped pretty quickly. They have an interesting menu, lot of varieties of breakfast choices. We got the french toast and cross the border omlette. The omlette was very good, french toast was just meh. Service was good, staff was friendly. Will come back here again. read more

Running out of places to eat breakfast in our vicinity again we ventured out a bit. When we arrived around 8:30 there were only two people. By 9am it was a full blown carnival! I can understand why. First of the service was noticeably awesome. Very polite but warm. The place is not that big. It fits the description of cozy. Although they have enough staff more than a restaurant bigger in size! I had the corned beef hash. It's under Bajis breakfast special. It comes with a side of potatoes or hash brown, eggs, two strips of bacon and two pieces of toast. $10.45. The food is very good. Nothing unusual in presentation but fast. Here they're service centric. Our glass of water and Adam's coffee cup was never empty. We came out of there full, relaxed and definitely a fan! Duh moment: Their special of the day is whatever you want. They will make it for you! read more

I came here for Sunday brunch with two friends after reading such exception reviews. As many have mentioned, this location is not hard to find, nor was parking difficult (there is a lot with plenty of stalls). Arriving slightly after 11AM, the wait for 3 was only approximately 10 minutes (you have to put your name down), which all in all was a great start so far! So on to the food-- I got the Cross the Border Omelette with wheat toast and hash browns on the side (~$13), and also the bottomless coffee (~$3). The service was relatively quick. Portions were generous, as many reviewers have commented. My omelette consisted of chorizo, tomatoes, jalapeno, salsa, and potatoes, which came out without too much wait for Sunday brunch. It was warm and filling. Coffee was promptly filled so +1 for that. All in all, a solid spot to stop for brunch, especially so if you miss the brunch traffic, reasonable pricing, but nothing too extremely special or spectacular in comparison to other brunch places in the area. read more

Well, probably just had the most disappointing brunch to date here. Pretty sad since this had become my go-to brunch spot and I would always bring friends here. Our food came out about 10 minutes apart, and it would have been longer had I not said something. I had to flag a waiter because they hadn't noticed the time lag at all. Hubby's food came out cold. My pancakes tasted like they had rotten bananas in them making them pretty hard to put down. They said they were sorry, but their sorry didn't extend as far as the check which they could have given us at least a little discount on since our meal was just plain bad. I gave them a chance to make things right but they clearly didn't care about me as a customer. Will not be returning here and I wouldn't recommend trying it. I will take my brunching elsewhere. read more

Best breakfast near my location Staff and manager are very polite with customers and all they do is care about the customers . I ate here once and was hooked , brought my co workers and now it's our favorite breakfast spot ,cannot wait to stop here for lunch Thanks again to the manager and waiters .

Bajis Cafe - French toast and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain View, California

I kinda like this place for a quick lunch break place and I wanted to give it 4 stars but in the end? You know three stars is a-ok and that's exactly what this place is. The breakfast is more along the lines of 4 stars and what most people seem to be enjoying. I have to say though the coffee is never really that good and it is supposedly Peet's. It is a fine option for lunch if you're right there in the area and the salads are enough for two meals (although mostly lettuce and served oddly with a piece of buttered toast.) I've tried the Farmer's salad with chicken - good and with what seems nicely sautéed zucchini and mushrooms - and the Greek salad with chicken - solid but could use more feta and less olives. The chicken add-on to the salads tastes like pre-cooked, processed/packaged but it's ok for lunch. A better protein option on a salad is an egg. The veggie sandwich is on toasted sliced bread and served with a ton of fries. Four stars for that. The place is really a throwback with lots of happy looking retirees and extremely friendly and nice servers. It does end up seeming a little expensive though if you get a salad and Diet Coke about $25 with tip. Maybe next time I'll try the pancakes or an omelette? read more

As many times as I've seen this place over the years I'm not sure why I hand't tried it till now. I was thinking I was gonna go for some BBQ down the street but it turns out they were closed today. So as a last minute occurence I drove down to Baji's. Not quite a hole in the wall but in a remote enough area where it pretty much qualifies as one. Pretty large menu but I decided I would focus on breakfast. Had the corn beef, cheese, olive, tomato and onion omelette/scramble with sourdough toast, hashbrowns and a small sife of bacon. Good solid breakfast fare and I must also say the service is quite good and friendly. Definitely will try this place again when I want some old school breakfast or try some of their other items. read more

This is a very local neighborhood diner. The staff is very friendly and service is great. However, food is quite average. Ingredients are fresh but the taste is just average.

I've been here twice. I'm not sure why I didn't learn from eating here the first time but the place is a bit run down and the food just doesn't seem fresh or well prepared. I have to admit, I've only been in for their breakfasts but when the waiter tells you to not order the biscuits 'cus they're hard, that should have been my signal to leave. Thanks for the tip Mr. Waiter...no really, thank you for being honest at least. Menu: http://www.allmenus.com/ca/mountain-view/50704-bajis-down-the-street-cafe/menu/ I ended up trying the breakfast burrito the first time and good 'ol bacon and eggs with toast the second. The burrito was just eeeeeh, and the bacon/eggs were okay (hard to mess that up). read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by here on our way up to San Francisco from Los Angeles. We saw it on Yelp and thought it would be a decent place to eat. And it is--decent. But it just wasn't what I was expecting after reading reviews and seeing photos. The service was fine. Not necessarily impressive but not completely neglectful. We did wait quite a bit to order and we didn't get checked on throughout our meal but we didn't notice too much. I ordered the biscuit and gravy with potatoes, bacon and eggs and my boyfriend got the signature scrambled which is "everything but the kitchen sink." He enjoyed his plate and devoured it. I only ordered the biscuits and gravy because I'm on a sort of biscuits and gravy tour if you will; I'm trying to find the best biscuits and gravy, and it wasn't here. The gravy was bland and watery and the biscuits a bit stale. I ordered my egg over medium and received it over easy. Bacon was overdone but was probably the best part of breakfast. Mediocre at best. read more

Came here for breakfast with a few friends. Some of us decided to get lunch and some of us got breakfast. I could decide so I went with a chicken waffle. Waffle is breakfast food, right? The chicken was juicy and tender and the breading was flakey. It was not greasy or heavy at all. Well, it's not heavier than other fried chicken, haha. The syrup made the whole thing sweet and that's just fine for me. While the chicken waffle may not be as good as the ones down in SoCal but it's pretty close. I really enjoyed it. One of my friends had the chicken fried steak. He is one of these people who doesn't need to watch his fat intake so he just had them serve it with the gravy on top. I usually get my gravy on the side but that's just me. I have to admit that it looked real good but I don't think I can handle that much gravy. To each his own, I guess. One thing worth mentioning is that they have really good hashbrowns. Some places do not cook their hashbrown long enough so it's not very crunchy. Not here. Theirs is just the way I like it. I think Iended up stealing a lot from my friends. haha. BTW, this was a surprise find fo us. I personally did not expect to find a breakfast place in this part of town but I'm not complaining. haha. read more
