Stopped by for breakfast. It's near my dentist,and I've been waiting to try it . When you walk in,it's a order at the counter and then go find a seat. For the amount of people working they could probably have servers take your order. Still not a problem as this is much quicker than having to wait. This place has a large seating area inside and a decent size outdoor patio. Everything is self serve,get your own water, napkins, condiments. The only thing missing was silverware. I had to ask the counter where the silverware was. She stated that when they bring out the food,they will bring out the utensils. Kinda confusing since everything else was already out at stations. We got the French toast combo and the blueberry pancakes that were on special. The French toast had a great flavor. Orange zest, cinnamon, mixed with butter. Bacon was crispy but not burnt. The pancakes tasted fine,it said it came with bananas and blueberries. I could see the blueberries,but not the bananas. Thought I could taste banana. Not sure how they cook the pancakes,but they stayed hot and took a while to cool down. Normally most pancakes come out luke warm at best. Food was good but the vibe was off. read more

This is my absolute favorite breakfast spot. The food is fantastic, with excellent portions, and very good service. I noticed a lot of retired folks eat here, but I see families as well sometimes. I'm pushing 50 and have two young kids, I work in the morning most days but every now and then I have a day off where I can have breakfast with my wife and this is always our go to spot. I'll be frank. There are a lot of breakfast spots that seem to be frequented by retired folks and most of them to be honest or not that good but are reasonably priced. This place is not that. The food is not cheap, but it is excellent and you get a lot. Cannot recommend this place enough and I hope it never ever goes away. For specifics, they have the most amazing oatmeal which I always get with skillet potatoes which are delicious. Everything here is just really good, even the coffee, and tea, and lattes. read more

Do not sleep on Country Gourmet! This is one of my most BELOVED brunch spots. Not only is the food fresh and incredibly delicious, but they have such a variety of options. Whenever I visit, I feel like I am stepping into Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls. Just a wonderful space that feels like home. I really appreciate the commitment to quality and healthy ingredients. My personal recommendation would be the pancakes--I believe they use cinnamon in the recipe, and it is such a cozy breakfast option and super satisfying. I also appreciate the spaciousness of the restaurant as well. This is a great place to catch up with friends and family, and the layout makes it super easy to order and find a spot. The community here is lovely, and I always feel welcomed. 10/10 would recommend Country Gourmet. read more

I have been going to Country Gourmet with family for over 15 years and the Mexican Salad always is perfect - nothing beats their jalapeño lime vinaigrette. The restaurant itself is very homey and quiet, usually with an older crowd :) I hope they never close, the food is always delicious, and the location is nostalgic for locals. They still have the amazing focaccia with caramelized onions but now it's only brought with salads and I miss the oil/vinegar that you could mix yourself. The Mexican salad had not changed a bit and was a very generous serving! My family loved their meals - the hot pastrami and smoked chicken salad and everything is easy to customize to your liking and dietary preferences. Thank you Country Gourmet! read more

I swear I've been here 1 million times and I thought I had a review. Apparently not?! Hee My parents have been coming here for years and they are a great cute homie little spot to come for breakfast or lunch. I wanna say they close early by 3 PM and it's literally an all retired crowd that shows up, but the food is delicious, home cooked and covers all the general run-of-the-mill flavors and they have amazing blueberry coffee cake, as well as carrot cake!! Service usually changes rather quickly, but there's some of the same people that work behind the counter year round. You order as you walk in from the front and you're given a number which you seat yourself and bring to the table. About 10-15minutes later, somebody comes out with your food and they will do the table settings as well. Everything is delicious here if you order their chicken salad sandwich to their omelette and even their country skillet! My dad always gets some sort of piece of meat and a salad and has no complaints. I'm sure my parents will continue coming here as well as the older crowd of Sunnyvale, but the food is really delicious and I love their desserts! read more

We had a wonderful brunch time after Church Sunday. We even were treated to some Christmas music from another group! Always a nice place to visit with friends as the tables and booths are far enough apart so everyone can enjoy their own conversations. I love that the owner comes over to checks how we're doing. read more

We haven't been to Country Gourmet since last year and were wondering if there's new ownership? Something's definitely different here and it's not horrible but it's not as good as we remember! My Spinach Quiche although lacking some flavor was very fluffy and the potato salad unfortunately was nothing to write about. The Chicken sandwich was decent but also lacked flavor. There was a time when we would buy the entire Carrot Cake at this place but I have to say the slice alone was dry and disappointing. I actually had to return it for a refund after two bites! There's a lot of seating inside and outside. The service is very friendly. read more

Given all the nearby places serving breakfast/brunch, this place wouldn't rank high on my list. Years ago it used to be bustling here with nice cozy vibes. It was once pretty popular, especially during breakfast. When I came for breakfast this time, it was pretty quiet. Unlike before when the waitstaff would take your order, you now order and pay at the cashier, and then have your meal delivered. They said they started this around COVID, but COVID restrictions and all have since been lifted. Just kinds of makes it feel like a fast-food experience. The food now is just mid. Honestly, the veggie omelette and scrambled eggs weren't anything special, and something that most home cooks could make. The most disappointing was the coffee cake. They're supposedly known for this, and I just remember it being better before. Mine was a bit soggy on the bottom. Portion sizes were pretty good. It's definitely a dated restaurant that hasn't done any updating, but I don't mind that as much as the very average food and service. read more

3.5 stars They cook with canola oil There is something here for everyone, good place for a group. Not much in atmosphere (not instagrammy) but that is made up for with good food. We had crab quiche special (yum!), reuben (good), french toast (super yum!), and pancakes. Everything is fresh, but a really good brunch place and they have a nice patio on a sunny day. decent chai latte & cappuccino. read more

First time here and was really surprised at the type of restaurant this is. No waiter or waitress. You have to order your food up front at the counter and pay for it before you try it?? then you get a number to take to your table that we get to pick. Like a fast food place!! No host or hostess to find us a table. No refills on the sodas and coffee we have to pay for every single cup? Like a Starbucks or Pete's Coffee in the restaurant?? We have to get our own water from the wall area. The menu is limited to types of food. Looks healthy, a lot of salads and organic stuff but not a big selection or variety. The portions are small and for the price this was no Black Bear Diner or Ihops or Hobbee's. It was lunch time so I ordered a CG Burger with a vegetable beef soup and soda and grilled potato's. The potato's were luke warm not hot. The soup was hot and so was the burger. Went to talk to the MOD and she tells me the potato's are made in the morning and kept in some warm tray until people order???? NOT MADE TO ORDER!! NOT FRESH!! EEEEWWW! Not ok with me. The place was busy. A lot of regulars but we will not be back. But overall not a 5 star rating for this YELP ELITE. check the menu's before you head out. It cost us $50.00 and a $5.00 tip for the 2 burgers and soup an soda??? read more

Nice breakfast place with lots of options (gluten free items, including bakery, too). Easy parking close by, friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. If I want a big breakfast, the San Jose Omelette with a biscuit side is filling. Another favorite of mine is the oatmeal that has a variety of toppings. A pitcher of mimosas (orange or raspberry) is affordable and fun option for celebrations. read more

We've been eyeing this place for decades, but always passed it by. Then girls came for a brunch chat-meet and recommended it. That was the last piece of motivation we needed. Now we are a "member." Weekday brunch appears to be mostly senior and neighbors. That's a good sigh. Senior always watch for good value. Many obviously are frequent patrons, taking their newspaper and sipping the refillable coffee. It's an order-ahead and deliver to your table place. No one seats you and no one comes take your order. The menu is at the entrance and on a "special board." Put simply, standard, no-frill, good-ingredients, well-prepared American breakfast fares. Coffee cake is quite good -- buttery, walnut, and blueberries. Go for the biscuit-based benedict. I think better than English muffin. read more

Food, service, ambience; all terrific. My favorite restaurant for breakfast or lunch.

Country Gourmet is a winner. Amazing breakfast/brunch plus fabulous salads, sandwiches &more. A reliable long time favorite. Give it a try- it never disappoints! read more

i love this place! the service is great and the food is amazing as well. what we got: turkey pesto (10/10 yums): i LOVED the onion focaccia that it came one. it wasn't dry and actually had a lot of flavor. the potato salad it came with was also good. banana french toast (10/10 yums): this was probably the best french toast i have ever had. it wasn't too sweet and the combination of the banana and cinnamon was a perfect combo. this is something i would get again. smoked chicken salad (10/10 yums): personally, i really enjoyed this. the chicken wasn't dry at all. the dressing was pretty sour, so if that is not your style, i'd suggest something else. however, the grapes eere very sweet and paired well with the vinaigrette. read more

The eggs Benedict is to die for! The bread they use...I could eat it every morning, lol. My partners only complaint was that they don't butter your toast which sucks because the butter in the foil is cold so it doesn't spread very well. Otherwise, great customer service, food came out fast, will definitely be back...soon. read more

Best breakfast in Sunnyvale! Consistently good for over 2 decades! I like the spinach omelette sans cream cheese, the husband likes the San Jose sans sour cream. My oldest likes the Benedict, and the youngest likes the egg thing with the tortilla chips (forgot the name!) read more

Excellent! From the food to the service this place is great. Love the interior, clean, casual, relaxing. Great place for omelets, burrito's, coffee and even a fine huge chicken salad. Don't pass up the carrot cake...one of my favs. Yum yum yum. Owners are very kind, hard working folks as well! read more

10/19/2024 Country Gourmet 1314 S Mary Ave Sunnyvale, CA 94087 I was in the area on a Saturday morning and tried it for breakfast. It's at the corner with Fremont in a shopping plaza so lot's of parking. I ordered the Mongolian Beef & Eggs off the chalk board at the order counter and given a number stand to take to my table. The interior is a clean tile topped table and chair arrangement with a divider to separate dining areas. My dish and table setup were brought to me shortly. The order consisted of cubes of beef, asparagus slices and scrambled eggs piped with Sriracha sauce over long grain rice. The beef was a little chewy, some of the asparagus was fibrous and chewy and the rice was a little hard. The gravy was a light coating and not very sweet, good. I would request more Sriracha the next time. Service was good with check -ins and other tables got their coffee refilled. The breakfast menu was limited, you won't find a Chorizo Scramble, Corned Beef Hash or Chicken Fried Steak here. Prices are reasonable. I would repeat for the Mongolian Beef, if they have it, not many places serve rice with breakfast in the area. read more

Overall experience: 5/5 Food: 4/5 We really liked our experience here. We came here after church for brunch on a random Sunday in February around 11am. There was parking in the lot that we found fairly easily. We really liked the vibes inside, very cozy, chill, with mostly a seasoned crowd. We like this. You have to order by standing in line and you get a number and they bring the food out. We didn't have a dedicated waiter which is fine. I actually liked that better b/c you don't have much expectations. You also have to get your own water, there is a water station near the side on the way to the bathrooms. I like this too b/c we get to control when we get water as well and it's good to get up and stand instead here and there. The food itself was pretty good. Big portions and the muffin was super big. We ended up taking half of our food home and eating it later on as well. I didn't even touch my muffin and ended up having it for breakfast the next day. Would come here again for brunch after church. Very cozy and comfortable vibes. read more

Came for lunch at 1PM on a Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The parking was full with cars! It was a full house but the cashiers were very efficient in taking everyone's order and getting the line moving. Once ordered and paid, we received on number and found a table to sit down inside. The restaurant has a country, homey feel. A good place to meet up with family and friends. The food is good portion and yummy! read more

Skip this place. Food is bland. Portion size is small. Its self service. You can get much better tasting food, service, and qty for the same price at other popular breakfast/brunch places. read more

Love this restaurant! Always excellent food, friendly service, lots of parking. Great selections on the menu. I typically go for breakfast. Some times it's busy, and sometimes it's quiet. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's got a nice family vibe, and they'll do substitutions if requested (I'm not a fan of cream cheese in my eggs; I'd rather have cheddar). I've also done take-out a few times and it works great! Order online and they text you when the meal is ready. I'll be back again! read more

This is a local favorite, and I understand why. They have a diverse, large menu with delicious items. The manager (?) Eric was incredibly helpful because he made sure that my dish did not include garlic or onions that make me sick. The cook included some items in my salad, but Eric realized that the dish wasn't right and immediately gave me a new one. Thank you Eric! read more

Finally had a chance to try this neighborhood breakfast spot recently with a friend. He had a country breakfast and I had an omelette with a pancake on the side. Their standard pancake is a wheat pancake instead of a typical buttermilk pancake. I was skeptical, but it actually tasted pretty good. With their breakfasts, they offer country style potatoes but not hash browns. Overall the breakfast was fine. Service was minimal. I probably wouldn't rush back. read more

We usually like the food. But we had the egg salad sandwiches and I was so disappointed in the value of the meal that I had to write. $17 for toast with a little egg salad on it plus a few greens with salad dressing poured over it was way too much even in this time of rising costs. We like it that you try new recipes, but be more realistic about the value you give your clients. read more

Since moving from the area (and COVID-19), I haven't had a chance to come by the Country Gourmet for many years. When I lived in Cupertino it was a regular breakfast spot the whole family enjoyed, as the kids grew up. I am so pleased it remains a high quality place - still family owned and operated since 1986! A special treat of memories for my son and I to share today, with great food included! read more

Been awhile but decided to stop in this morning. Well for one , was up and out early enough as this place can be crowded. So you go to counter order from a medium variety menu ( was here for breakfast ) then take a seat either inside or out. Sometimes I wish it had table order service but this way it does go quickly to order. The inside is very well kept , clean all the time and plenty of people working here to make sure tables are cleared quickly and drinks are refilled lot of bakery good , didn't try any in this trip but when have it is like homemade Staff is friendly and for sure a hometown feel and look , can clearly see this is a locals place but very open to those passing through town. Plenty of parking , no EV chargers but I just have to say overall this is a solid 5 !!!! read more

We chanced upon this place while we were walking in the town center. It turned out to be great. Variety of options to choose from both the breakfast menu and the lunch menu. There is an espresso bar too, and the cappuccino was delicious! We ordered Mexican salad, enchiladas and the veggie omelette. Everything tasted great. Loved that the Omelette was loaded with veggies which were very well done. Blueberry coffee cake that we took as a side for the Omelette tasted yummy!! Service was great. The place had a relaxed informal setting and was great to hangout with friends for a long time. read more

once again not disappointed. We ordered six Chicken Almond Salads to go, with focaccia. Each one was more than plentiful and beautifully presented. No one skimped on the time they spent plating each salad in the clear plastic container. And the dressing is delicious. So many chopped veggies in the salad and the Chicken Almond Salad is delicious. Many thanks, again, for making our day. Another example of what we keep going back - sometimes twice in one week!! Everything is delicious, plentiful, nicely presented, and the staff are all friendly and smiling. read more

Good food and pleasant ambience. Try the salads (Mexican!) and omelets (with the best biscuit ever). Go!

I've been coming here since I was 4 years old. My favorite was always the French toast. 30 years later I have get to find a French toast that's quite as good. The place has a homey, old-time feeling. Along with a delicious meal, come here for a coziness and nostalgia! read more
