We ordered their Ferrero Rocher Latte and Pandan cold brew. The Ferrero Rocher latte tasted malty and slightly like a cold frozen hot chocolate. I didn't really taste the hazelnut but it was still delicious. I enjoyed my Pandan cold brew; it's sweet with that Pandan syrup. Next time, I'd like to try their seasonal drink, Guava Matcha Latte with a cream top! They also carry baked goods from Neighbor bakery in SF. We loved the Ube twice baked croissant! This one does taste like the actual purple yam which is a plus. I want to come back for this again. Overall, we enjoyed this coffee shop and what it offers. It's the best coffee shop in town!

We tried the Guava Matcha Latte with the cream top and also the Banana Matcha cream pie latte. The guava matcha was delicious! the cream top was a bit tart but the guava matcha below it was amazing. there was a good deep matcha flavor and the guava did not overtake it. The banana matcha cream pie latte was also good. we loved the cream top for this one - thought it was better than the guava cream top but the matcha itself was slightly lacking at first. It tasted very watered down, but once we mixed it up, it tasted better. They also sell neighbor bakehouse pastries and sunday bakeshop pastries!

This is officially my new airport dining choice when available. I'm not a coffee drinker but they spend an equal amount of love on their matcha and chai!! This warms my heart! The pumpkin spice chai available year round (joy!) and the banana cram matcha (so far seasonal). Both not too sweet. Would like some kind of cream on top - still great as is. Both times I went for the breakfast burrito. Big fan of the veggie breakfast burrito with added bacon :) The chipotle sauce is the liquid gold! I find potatoes and hash browns to be fillers when not extra crispy for texture. Sadly they were filler here but so far they are light handed on the filler so all is right in the burrito. Did well on my request for light cheese as well. Ambiance reminds me of all my favorite cafes and tea shops with the artsy flare, welcoming colors, tons of plants, and some cool jams. Can definitely see them having a local artist showcase or local concert or open mic night. I have one request for the owners, one day please add a cardamom matcha to your menu It's such a great flavor combo! I'll be back again soon!

You can order in or to go, there's quite a few seats/tables. Parking here seems manageable but I've only gone here when it's early and just opens so here early enough to not pay for the parking meter lol. This is like the only breakfast spot open pretty early that we've used as a work outing/team building. So that's cool. I've actually gone here a couple times already. Foods also really good you can't really go wrong cuz you know what you gon get when you buy it. Lazy logs (burrito) will just knock you out for the rest of the day.

4/5 Kaizen Coffee…read moredefinitely lives up to the hype when it comes to their pour over. The space is clean, modern, and aesthetically nice, but it is pretty small and not really the type of café I would hang out at for hours. It reminded me more of a busy boba shop where you grab your drink and go. We came around 1 PM and waited about 10 minutes. They only allow around six people to queue inside, so there was a pretty steady line of people waiting outside. This place gets BUSY. We tried the black sesame iced latte and a single origin pour over. The pour over was easily a 10/10 for me. I love light roasts that are super fruit forward, bright, and almost tea like, and this was exactly that. The barista was also incredibly friendly and even shared his recipe with me, which I really appreciated. The black sesame latte was one of the drinks we kept seeing on social media, so obviously we had to try it. Unfortunately, it was not our favorite. The black sesame tasted pretty grainy and bitter, which clashed with the sweetness of the coffee rather than complementing it. I would probably give that drink a 3/5. One thing I really liked is their whole bean selection. They had a ton of freshly roasted coffee available, including beans from Hydrangea and Black & White. Overall, Kaizen gets a 4/5 from me. The pour over alone is enough to bring me back, but I was expecting a little more from their black sesame iced latte

5 stars for their famous Portuguese egg tarts. They sell out quickly and come out hot at 9 AM…read more I've had them 2 weekends in a row now. Tip: Bring cash if you plan to spend less than $15. At the cashier, they have boxes of buns sold in bulk- black sesame buns, BBQ pork buns, and vegetable buns. Great for families. Other notable Asian pastries are individually wrapped such as the pineapple bun, cocktail bun, hotdog with green onion and taro buns. There are also cakes available, premade or made to order. I have not tried these yet.

I also really appreciated that everything is individually packed in plastic--it keeps everything super sanitary and easy to grab. While the texture and freshness were spot on, I did find that almost everything we tried was just a tad too sweet for my personal taste, especially if you prefer the typically lighter, less-sweet style of many Asian bakeries. I had the egg tarts. Cream bun, pineapple bun and Swiss roll cake. Overall, it's a lovely, spotless shop with great presentation, just be prepared for a bit of a sugar kick!

Their menu has a ton of options, although there aren't many pictures, so it took us a minute to decide. Thankfully the staff were super friendly and patient. We ordered a dozen Binka Bites in 6 different flavor (Choco Bavarian, Dubai Chocolate, Churro Biscoff, Nutella, Oreo, and Mango Cream), 2 Spam Musubis, and a Chicken Empanada. It was my first time trying Binka Bites and I really enjoyed them. The texture reminds me of a hybrid between mochi and sponge cake, soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. My favorite flavor out of the box was definitely the Nutella. For leftover, I would recommend to microwave them for a 5-8 seconds before eating so it will be soft and warm. The Spam Musubi had a great spam-to-rice ratio imo (very important lol) with decent amount of sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicken Empanada was fresh, hot, and packed with flavorful shredded chicken. Overall, it was a really great first visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying their Mini Adobo Rice with Scrambled Egg next time.

The matcha is smooth and flavorful, and I really appreciate that they offer a non-sweet option, which is perfect for my taste. The cream topper on both drinks is incredibly smooth and light, adding a rich texture without feeling heavy. The store is always clean, the staff is friendly, and ordering is quick and easy. Highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys high-quality matcha!

Inconsistent spot. My first visit was on 6/3, and I ordered the matcha einspanner--it was honestly…read moreone of the worst matchas I've had. I later found out they closed that same day due to some kind of sewage/health inspection issue, so I decided to give them another chance after they reopened, especially since friends recommended their other locations. My visits since then have definitely been better. My go-to is now the Double Matcha at 50% sweet. It has a strong matcha flavor, is creamy, and is really good when made right. I definitely won't be getting the matcha einspanner again though. The biggest issue is consistency. Not every visit tastes the same, but when it's good, it's good. The shop also sometimes has a noticeable bathroom/cleaning chemical smell, which isn't the most pleasant when you're sitting inside.

Brothers Cafe is a much-needed addition to downtown Millbrae's breakfast and brunch scene…read more We used to frequent their Laurelwood location in San Mateo, and it was always packed, so I was thrilled when they opened a location in Millbrae. While it can get busy during peak hours, the restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, so the wait is usually manageable. The food is consistently good, and we've enjoyed everything we've tried. My favorites are the Benedicts--especially the Gilroy Benedict--and the classic two-egg breakfast. We also like to add an order of pancakes for the kids. The menu offers something for everyone, making it a great spot for families as well as casual brunch outings. Generous portions and reliable food keep us coming back.
