    Carnitas pork breakfast
    William A.

    I always have a great breakfast at Brothers cafe. My usual is the 2x2x2 which is always made perfectly. Service is always great as well. Today I tried the carnitas breakfast, holy cow it was good. Hope they keep this one around!

    Didn't know that this little cafe was hidden behind the Trader Joe's and Living Spaces plaza even though I've been here a million times. They have a similar set up to Crepevine where you order and pay before finding your seats. Their menus on the wall look similar too! I am not a fan of tipping before you even get your food, especially because if you want a drink or refill, you do have to get up and pay again... The food itself was good, portions are huge! It will definitely put you in a food coma for the rest of the day haha. We ordered the biscuits and gravy with sunny side up. I wish there was more gravy on the biscuit as it was just the top layer that had gravy. The eggs do have a heavy butter after taste. The chicken and waffles was my favorite. It's pretty much half a chicken, and fried well. All pieces were juicy and I love that they give you gravy on the side in a cup! Too bad they didn't give that for the biscuits. Waffle was light and fluffy. We couldn't finish the chicken so there was a little to take home. The mimosas were with freshly squeezed orange juice which was nice. It was a bummer when we went to get our second drinks the cashier told us we should have just gotten the mimosa kit. We didn't know that was a big bottle with OJ...but too late. I would definitely come back to try some other items. Food came out quick too.

    Food is always good, haven't had a bad experience so far, the service is excellent and they're always on top of refills, the ambiance is good for being by the shopping center

    Love the 2x2x2! I haven't tried anything else on their menu, but the pancakes alone are worth going back for. They're so fluffy and soft!

    We came here for brunch on my husband's birthday and it was a great choice! His burrito was DELICIOUS! My waffle was probably one of the BEST waffles I've ever had too! It was so fluffy and the chocolate cream was so light and not too overpowering! I was "mmm-ing" the whole entire time and my husband said "I've never seen you so excited over a waffle before" but once he took a bite, he understood why! The workers were so attentive and knew exactly what they were doing! We will definitely be back!

    We always see the line going out the door and the table is full so today we decided to get some takeout from brothers café. The woman that was working in the cash register was so kind! We ended up getting pancakes, chili, and hashbrowns. Everything was amazing and the chili was so plentiful with meat. The ambience of the restaurant was very happy. Lots of happy chatter. Lots of tables filled great local restaurant.

    If you love hearty brunch without the chaos, Brothers Cafe is a must. Absolutely delicious! Neal's has been our go-to for a less chaotic vibe than Millbrae Pancake House, but Brothers Cafe is our new favorite brunch spot. They have 3 locations, and while SSF is closer, we happily trek to Millbrae for its quick turnover and easy parking - behind Trader Joe's or along Magnolia near the library. Family-owned (same folks as Boulevard Cafe in Daly City), Brothers offers generous portions, sweet staff, spotless restrooms, and surprisingly fast service. How it works: Line up on the right, order and pay at the register, then wait to be seated on the left. At peak times, don't even try to grab a table before ordering. Service can slow after food arrives, but just flag someone or pop by the pickup counter for your needs (water refills, extra napkins, condiments, etc.). Highly recommend: * Bloody Mary - bold, peppery kick with a crisp finish (I love a Bloody Maria but they only carry Vodka) - $8.00 * Bananas Foster Brioche French Toast - thick, buttery brioche drenched in caramelized banana goodness - $15.95 * Kid's Basic with Bacon - crispy bacon, soft scrambled eggs, and golden toast - $10.00 * Basic with Sausage, 2 Eggs, & Hash - savory sausage paired with crispy, golden hash browns, 2 eggs any style - $16.95 * NY Steak & Eggs (Med Rare) - tender, juicy steak with perfectly made to order eggs - $25.95 * Alexandra - delicate angel hair tossed with flaky salmon, sweet tomatoes, fresh spinach, capers, shrooms, and a luscious lemony white wine-garlic cream sauce - $19.95 * Alfredo - spaghetti coated in a rich blend of butter, cream, nutmeg, and a hearty side of Asiago cheese - $16.95 Optional Add On: - Chicken +$5.00 - Salmon +$8.00 - Prawns +$8.00 - NY Steak +$10.00 - Broccoli +$2.50 Perfect for brunch lovers who appreciate hearty plates and a clean, friendly spot!

    Chicken Club

    Went here yesterday for a friend reunion! Such a nice cafe to eat at. You walk in and you look at the menu that's on the wall or look at the handout! I like that there's options it's very accessible and accommodating! I ordered the chicken club with no tomatoes and I asked if I can have pickles with it instead! They were able to make the adjustments which was very great! After that they give you a number and you sit down at the table. There's choice of table or a booth. It's a very spacious room. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their food and the atmosphere despite the weather pouring. It also gave it a very cozy vibe too. I probably like to come back and try their tuna melt because I've heard good things about it

    Delicious Scramble with Chicken, Spinach, mushrooms, and Swiss cheese. Order of fruit and wheat toast to bring it all together.
    Terrance S.

    Always a five star experience here. I love the way. The ordering is set up, the menu choices, the customer service, and the location. They mix it up with hearty yet healthy options. Each time in the area this is one of my go to places. Looking forward to another stop here.

    Slightly pricy Very friendly servers who also come in and check on customers Good portion size Very clean and modern diner Huevos rancheros was a hit and the Basic was just that - basic! Service was amazingly fast and we got seated right away

    This was a nice little cafe kind of tucked away in a shopping center. The food was great! Sometimes it can get a bit busy but if you're close by, try it out!

    This place is pretty interesting; you order first before you sit down. If you have a bigger party, it might not be a place that can accommodate you. What I can say is the owner does try their best to find ways to make a larger group fit. The food is pretty good and tasty, and the portions are not bad at all. They do have a pretty big menu, with ample options to choose from.

    Really enjoyed visiting for breakfast twice especially their oatmeal pancakes, but Brother's needs to get better quality bacon. Not good!

The heirloom burrata starter was a missed. Although good portion, it was bland and poorly seasoned. Our entrees however, were delicious! We had the Octopus Spaghetti and the Linguine Vongole. Each dish had very distinct flavors and tastefully pleasing! We ended the meal with the tiramisu. It was simple, light and homely.

So not sure if we needed to make first seating. Parking lot and street parking nearby. Servers came right away to take any drink orders coffee, tea and water etc. the service was good.

Corned Beef hash and eggs, nice portion of corned beef. Not overly salty. Perfect over easy eggs. Not bad at all Swedish pancakes, house specialty. Thin cakes with lingonberry butter.

Just a heads up, they can get pretty busy on weekends, so depending on your party size you may have to wait a bit. The wait is worth it though, especially for the food and the friendly service!
