My partner is obsessed with Breakers Cafe, and I finally went to check it out on Wednesday. The interior had an old-school diner vibe, with cozy booths and nostalgic decor. I really liked their large colorful wall mural. None of the breakfast offerings were speaking to me, so I chose the Carne Asada Quesadilla. This was solid and very filling. The portion size was generous and it came with little sides of salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. My partner got the Waffles, eggs, sausage, and a side of hash browns. It looked pretty standard for diner food, but he was a big fan of the spread. Our server was friendly and welcoming, and all the food came out quickly. read more

Breakers Cafe is nestled in the middle of the Woodside shopping plaza... easy to miss if you aren't looking for it! Once you wander inside, you'll be greeted by the very friendly staff and quickly enamored with the hand painted art that graces the walls. Breaker's menu has a delightful variety of foods and drinks, so the options to tickle your tastebuds are only limited by your imagination! Each dish is full of flavor and made hot to order. I really only have two main gripes about this place. Firstly, I've visited a total of 3 times and each time I have come in, I find the portions to seem smaller and smaller. I shouldn't be leaving feeling hungry for the price point of each dish. Secondly, although the staff is extremely friendly, I've noticed at least twice (two out of three visits) we've had to repeatedly ask to get something brought to the table... Most recently, I asked for vanilla creamer for my coffee three times over the span of a 20 minute period when we were only one of three occupied tables in the whole restaurant. Yikes. All in all, I do enjoy coming to Breakers but I'm starting to debate if it's truly the best bang for my buck. read more

My husband LOVES this place. He goes here once or twice a month. He took my mom and my 1st grade teacher here when they were out for a visit and they loved it. I need to check it out and will do so soon. He said the staff is super friendly and a few wait staff even know his order. Can't wait to try Breakers! read more

The place feels so nostalgic. This place is a diner and a cafe mixed into one. There are a lot of pictures and the drinks are great. Remind me of a western 1980s bar. I ordered the ice mocha and it was delicious. The people here speak Spanish. Lovely bunch of people! read more

Old timey diner! Loved the atmosphere. The food was just what a diner offers, yummy. They were great as my friend and I sat and chatted for 2 hours. read more

My favorite local breakfast spot. The staff are so friendly, and the food is simple but delicious. The menu has a lot of options to choose from. A must have is the buttermilk pancakes. I'm not sure why, but Breakers has the best pancakes ever! read more

Breakers Cafe - Dancer Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redwood City, California

This is one of the better breakfast spots in Redwood City. Chicken fried steak with crispy hashbrowns was delicious. The steak packed a lot of flavor and the gravy added delight to every bite. I added a pancake, but I was sadly disappointed with it compared to the other items. It wasn't light and fluffy, so I would not order it again. Not shown was the white toast, which was extra toasted and buttery. I ate it all because it was the first item to arrive and I was very hungry. I would ask for lightly toasted if I were to order again. The breakfast sandwich was nicely assembled. It had nice flavor and the bread tasted like it was an upgrade compared to the white toast that came with the chicken fried steak. The fruits provided a refreshing ending to the meal. This place can get very busy for breakfast. Service was attentive and quick. Ambiance is casual. read more

Need upgrade surroundings. Looks tired after years of work. Food great very fair prices. Would return

We used to go to Breakers quite often and haven't been there in a while. I was in shock when I opened the menu. And saw how much the prices have gone up. I was so disappointed in the breakfast. We didn't even finish. We tipped and paid and left, and I don't think we'll be going back. Come on Carlos you can do better. read more

Food and menu is decent. The portions have shrunk but are reasonable. Especially considering the economy. I like this place and will go back, but I do owe an apology to the middle age male server. I am very sorry I kept thanking you - for seating me - for bringing me food - and my check. I did not realize the words "your welcome" are so hard for you to say. Or any words for that matter. I am not sure why friendliness annoys you so much, especially coming from a single person in an empty restaurant. But maybe you should consider moving to the kitchen where you your lack of people skills would be less detrimental to your establishment. Everyone else that has served me there has been great. I will be back. read more

We three great friends came from San Jose and San Francisco to meet for brunch. Great menu! We were all very pleased with our entrees, Mochas, and loved our attentive waitress...wonderful experience. Before we even walked out the door - we know we had found our place (Cheers!) and we would be back -again - soon! Next time. will order a To Go item , too! read more

Favorite White Chocolate Mocha around, love popping into this place any chance I get. Their breakfast options are all incredible but the FrenchToast is my favorite by far. Thick and with that perfect sugary glaze, a must order if your into sweet breakfasts!! There always so kind and fast service too, love this little gem in Redwood read more

Breakers Cafe - Mocha - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redwood City, California

Great breakfast along with good service for a great experience overall. Adorable prices so give it a try.

Service and Food were great. Rating is due to blasting Fox "News" into my face during my first visit here. The station is proven in court that they are not reporting factual information and are stated to be entertainment that no reasonable viewer would take as truth. This business chooses to dump this garbage onto the public while employing 100% immigrant staff. I won't be back read more

The people are very kind. Very good service. Food is great. Will recommend this cafe to everyone.

Great place! We got the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros, both were delicious. I also got the zebra mocha which was amazing. I expressed concern before ordering it with how sweet it would be, and the barista reassured me that it wouldn't be too sweet, and then checked in with me again to confirm it wasn't too sweet after leaving it with me for five minutes. The staff was attentive and courteous, and very quick to grab anything we requested. Ambiance was great, I loved the mural that covered one of the walls, and really enjoyed the warm feel to the place! read more

Delicious food every time we have come. The omelets and scrambles are all good plus the portions are generous. Always a go-to place when we are in RWC. The service was also very good and cozy place to eat. read more

This place used to be the "go-to" for breakfast in the area. The staff we very nice, the food was good, and the atmosphere was inviting. A few months ago, I stopped going there after three bad experiences in a row. The food was cold, the staff was less than attentive, and my orders were incorrect. I often order a pancake on the side - but either it didn't show up at all, or at the end of the meal when I was already done. I haven't been back since. Too bad. read more

First of all, this is the gathering place for many of the area's senior citizens and many of the diners are regulars who enjoy the place. I was here once before and had a burger that was decent but I decided to try breakfast this time was it seems to be their specialty. The menu has several Mexican inspired dishes but I decided to stay basic just in case I didn't appreciate the sauces so went with scrambled eggs, hash and hash browned potatoes. Everything was dry and tasteless. To be honest, my only experience with hash is the stuff that comes out of the can but this just seemed to be flattened shredded meat with a hint of sausage seasoning. The hash brown potatoes were flavorless and not particularly crisp. The eggs were passable. Honestly, I prefer Dennys. This visit was quite a disappointment but the staff was great. read more

Good food, friendly service, plus, you can catch up on world events on Fox News. We were there on a very busy news day, so this was an added bonus. They have genuine Coke products here, no need to bring one from home. The only negative is that they close crazy early, (2 PM). read more

Wow, I moved here two years ago and always as curious to eat here. I am glad my friend wanted breakfast. Omelet was perfect, better than, it was not over cooked. Not oily. I had to corn beef and hash with hash browns and it was perfect. Now this will be my am meeting spot! read more

Sorry Breakers Cafe, as much as I like you and your team when we visit your cafe bi-weekly (rain or shine) to dine-in (outdoors), I am going to have to give you a one star for an extremely disappointing eat out/to-go experience via DoorDash. When you are sick at home with COVID, and you haven't been able to eat much of anything for over 5+ days, except for a piece of toast just so that you have something to line your stomach in preparation to taking OTC acetaminophen or ibuprofen. And finally, that moment when you finally feel 90% yourself, and the first craving you have for food is a Huevos Rancheros. Because you want to continue to stay isolated for the sake of others - you decided to order from Breakers Cafe via DoorDash. You're excited for the moment when your food arrives at the door taking into considering what you've been going through the last several days, you hear your Dasher at the door, meal now in-hand, ready to dig in, you open your to-go order box, only to see your Huevos Rancheros does not include their specialty sauce, and all of the toppings! Whomp Whomp. What a Debbie Downer. I beg to ask the question, is this the type of customer service provided by Breakers when you make a decision to order out? I certainly hope this to not be the case because the food quality should always remain the same irrespective of whether it's a dine-in or dine-out experience. I'll admit, with every dine-in experience,, how the Huevos Rancheros is made is not consistent, but at least all of the ingredient's that make up their Huevos Ranchos is there. read more

i've been to this cafe a handful times, since it's super convenient to where i live. they open for breakfast & lunch only, 0700-1400, but breakfast is served all day! during the pandemic, they had socially distanced indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. the staff was always good about wearing masks and being very careful not to touch any of the guests, which is often tricky when picking up plates, refilling water glasses, etc. covid precautions aside, service was always very good, in fact, once i had a party of 8-10 friends and we had 2 servers wait on us, and they were super efficient in taking our orders and bringing our food out promptly. i definitely feel like i'm welcomed as a long-time customer and friend when i dine here. as for the food, i've only ever come for breakfast/brunch, so the only items i've ordered are the breakers' special (artichoke/avocado/tomato/mushroom) or veggie delight omelet (mixed veggies, chef's choice). these come with sides of potatoes and toast. my food has always tasted great and the portion size is very hearty, especially since i almost always come here after a run or hike so i'm pretty hungry when i arrive! i often have to get a takeout box b/c i can't finish the hefty side of potatoes! note that you can also swap out potatoes for fruit and request egg whites for healthier alternatives. the bathroom is a little bit far from the main dining area, you have to exit through the kitchen (which feels a little odd) and go through the rear hallway before you arrive, but it's accessible and tidy. there is usually parking right in front of the cafe, and if not, there is plentiful parking in the woodside plaza shopping center, which is shared with lucky, rite aid and a few other retailers. read more

Breakers Cafe - Eggs Benedict salmon with hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redwood City, California

Breakers Cafe allows UNLEASHED DOGS inside the restaurant. When I was there, a couple carrying a little dog asked to sit right next to the kitchen & was seated there without a word. The dog sat on the booth furniture. The little dog was not a handicapped assistance dog -- I asked the couple (who ignored me) & the Breakers Mgr. said they just allow all dogs. (I'm disabled & have a dog, but wouldn't bring her inside a restaurant -- I would sit outside & the dog would go on the pavement, not the furniture. Now there are several other restaurants to choose from at Woodside Plaza, so think about it. read more

The service was great, but for a breakfast place, they don't execute common dishes well. An eggs Benedict should have perfectly runny eggs but they were more soft to hard boiled. Our server was happy to send the eggs back and while they were better the next time, they still weren't as runny as I was expecting and they kept the same English muffin that was now soggy. Not the best execution for an $18+ meal. read more

Had the eggs bendict, It was really good! The Holliandaise sause was really good as well! The only down fall was the server never refilled my coffee and never came back to ask us if everything was ok! That was a little disappointing! The 3 stars is for the amazing food, As far as service the servers should always come back and refill your coffee and at least check on you once, The only time we saw her was when she came to drop off the check 15 minutes after receiving the food :( read more

This place reminds me of an old breakfast joint that might need a few remodeling. But hey why fix if it isn't broken. The staff were all really nice. As we walked in, the gentleman informed us we can sit wherever we'd like. They offer outside and indoor seating; but the only outside seating that was left were directly in sunlight so we chose inside. The menu has your classic breakfast choices. I decided to go with the breakfast burrito( can't go wrong with a burrito, in my opinion) and I wanted to try their biscuits and gravy. My meal was awesome, no complaints. Food came out super quick and I love the fact that server automatically brought the condiments out with the food( hot sauce, ketchup) instead of us having to ask. Food was for a decent price as well. I really enjoyed myself and will try other stuff on the menu and possibly have more of the biscuits and gravy because it was fire. read more

I was at Woodside Plaza around noon, and noticed their outdoor dining setup, and ordered a BLT, fries and Coke ($18.82). You order inside at the counter, and then they bring the food out to you when it's ready. The BLT sandwich was fresh and tasty, with the usual ingredients; crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato with mayo on toasted sourdough bread. The fries were crunchy, but potatoey soft inside. The only issue here is their higher than average prices for similar quality food you could get elsewhere for less. read more

Not bad! I've had mixed experiences with diners so I wasn't sure what to expect. I decided to try Breakers with pickup and was generally happy with my breakfast sandwich. It had bacon in it which I liked a lot! I also liked the sauce that they put in the sandwich. The sandwich was simple but tasty. I also enjoyed the side of fruit too - mostly cantaloupe and pineapple. read more

Barely edible waffle. Served lukewarm. Very chewy and unappealing. I was very clear on my order and when food and beverages were served I had to ask again for how I'd originally requested. I e tried this place before and never been super impressed. But. Was at Ace next door so giving it another go. Too bad. It's not worth it. Ordered a side of bacon and tea and this awful waffle. $24. The tea cup had visible egg residue in it. Ick. So decidedly not worth it. Service marginal. No check in. Avoiding eye contact. Empty water glass. Clearly not happy and waitress clearly doesn't care. Not coming back and not recommending. read more
