The eggs were perfectly poached, the Hollandaise was tasty (but not overwhelming), and the biscuits they come in were really tasty. I also appreciated the lightly dressed salad that came as a side: the greens were very fresh. I also got the Cuban Cortadito, and I was pumped to have a non-dairy coffee drink. It was very well made: the slight hint of condensed milk was a nice touch. It was a nice sweet drink without being cloyingly sweet. But they have so many tasty coffee drinks that it was hard to choose, so I'll def be back to try more of them!

My friend and I came here last Saturday at around 11:30am. Despite the rain and wet streets that…read moreday, the restaurant was busy and lively. We ordered our food and drinks first at the register and then they gave us a buzzer, which we took to a table of our choice. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and fortunately, we were able to find a table inside. I ordered the Foreigner Favorite and an iced Yema Latte. My friend ordered the Veggie Scramble and an iced Euro Latte. We both requested less sweet for our drinks. This turned out good for the Euro Latte but I had to go back and ask them to increase the sweetness for the Yema Latte. The drinks were good, nothing too mind-blowing. The Foreigner Favorite was yummy. I really liked the sausages and poached eggs. I love potatoes, and I wish these were a little bit crispier. Regardless, it was an enjoyable dish overall. It was also very filling, and I ended up taking leftovers home.

We stood in line to order for about 20 min, and everyone told us it was worth waiting on! It turned out to be VERY true! The food was out of this world, the donuts were SUPER yummy and we the service was wonderful! I can only speak for my plate, but I ordered the "Amazing Breakfast Sandwich" and it was DELICIOUS!!! Let me break it down for you: 1. The bread was sourdough - but it was SO MOIST and SQUISHY! Unlike your harder, toastier sourdough bread. 2. the turkey bacon and cheese were tasty and hearty on this sandwich 3. the arugula was fresh and added a clean taste to the bite 4. The garlic aioli was the PERFECT sauce to go on this sandwich. It gave it the aromatic flavor it needed! (I took off the fresh tomato due to allergy!) I still think about this sandwich!!! The hashbrowns were good, they were a solid choice. They make it on the crunchier side which I LOVE! Pictured there are the cinnamon bun and the maple cake donut, which both were SO GOOD - especially the cinnamon bun. The bun was a perfect balance of the cinnamon, glaze, brown sugar and dough. The maple donut was comparable to some of my favorites! The donut dough was not my favorite, but the maple glaze made up for it! I topped off my meal with an iced tea! :) I want to go back to San Francisco JUST for this breakfast again! Highly!!! Recommend!!!

Some favorites included their ultimate pancakes, granola parfait and egg scramble, but the coffee is delightful. I preferred the cocoa puff cold brew over the carbonated coffee (vietnamese coffee with sparkling water). They have a private parking lot and offer both indoor or outdoor patio seating. The staff is friendly and will take care of clearing tables afterwards.

I have been there a few times over the years and it is always quick, fresh food, that is great for breakfast or lunch. This visit we arrived around 12:30 pm and placed our order at the counter found seating for 3 of us. I was feeling particularly well with an update stomach so I only order their pancakes. They offer fruit including strawberries, powder sugar and whip cream. My wife ordered a tuna melt and fries with an Arnold Palmer. My mother-in-law ordered a latte, hauevos rancho with a scrambled egg. She raved about the latte! My 3 pancakes were huge! And it all look and tasted great. The Brothers Cafe cashier/ordered take was friendly and professional. I did note the chicken & waffles on the menu and saw several oders pass by me. I saw one C&W that looks delicious and authentic having spent a decade in Louisiana, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia and Maryland..yum! It a little off the beaten path on West Hillsdale at HWY 92 in San Mateo. But we'll worth the effort especially with their outdoor patio being renovated..Enjoy!

The Irish oatmeal with dried cherries and cinnamon was absolutely delicious, comforting, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I'll definitely order it again. The avocado toast with fresh basil, tomatoes, and balsamic glaze was another highlight. Simple, fresh, and incredibly tasty. If you're looking for a place with great breakfast, quality ingredients, and excellent service, this is definitely worth a visit. Looking forward to coming back!

Then you see others who are sitting down for hearty meal (omelette, pasta, sandwich). All of the food is good there. We have had practically everything on the menu, whether it is one of their pastas, an entree like salmon or chicken, and even the pizzas, which as of this writing, they no longer offer. Oh, and of course, great espresso drinks. You walk up to the counter and order, they give you a number and you sit down. Food is delivered to you cooked to order. This is a place where you understand that you enjoy your meal and espresso, not that you are in a hurry to work and need to use a mobile app. Seating both inside and outside. Generally well maintained as they turn over tables. One of my favorite places in the peninsula. Only wished they open for dinner but then that could change everything. Owner is great!

Parking at 9:30am was no issue on a Sunday, plenty of parking and was seated in no time…read more What drew my fiancee and I's attention to this place was the mix of American food and Filipino. Which is prevalent as soon as you walk in since the spot is family owned. The place is sit anywhere you want and they'll come to you with the menu. The decor inside too is filled with what I assume are family photos and it really gives it a warm cozy feeling. I ordered a Longanisa plate with their hashbrowns with onions. The Longanisa was fine and exactly what I wanted it to be, however the hashbrowns were soft for my liking, maybe they could make it crispier. Also I saw they only had white rice, kind of wish they had garlic rice to really drive that Filipino experience. HOWEVER, order that lumpia! Minced well, crispy to a bite and honestly our favorite. Def would come back for it.

I came in around 9am and they were already sold out of some items, but I did manage to get my hands on one of their famous croissants! I ended up getting the Pistachio Raspberry Croissant and Chocolate Chip Cookie. Both pastries are PHENOMENAL. The Bay Area truly does have a fantastic pastry (especially croissant) scene, but Backhaus is definitely up there. I loved how well the flavors came through in both, and the textures were great.

The chocolate croissant was just as good, featuring the perfect balance of sweet and slightly bitter chocolate wrapped in layers of buttery, flaky pastry.

The café offers plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, with additional space upstairs and downstairs.

The prosciutto and fig jam toast stands out to me because the saltiness of the prosciutto is balanced with the sweetness of the fig jam. The cafe uses ACME Sour Bâtard for their toasts, so quality of the bread is superb. The matcha rose latte was really good, I asked for less sweet, which I prefer, and the drink wasn't bitter because of the adjustment. The waffle sampler was a sweet treat to share. The strawberry ricotta was my favorite, the fruit was perfectly ripe and a touch of honey for some natural sweetness for the waffle. The ambience is super cute and great for IG pictures. Service is great - the servers and cashiers are nice.

The staff is really welcoming and outgoing, which made ordering really efficient. We ordered the applewood smoked salmon with avocado, churro waffle, and the banana and cream waffle. I didn't try the applewood smoked salmon, but the churro waffle was BOMB. Perfect amount of cinnamon taste! It came with a side of melted chocolate, which tied everything together. It's not too sugary, but will definitely leave you feeling heavy. One note: the actual churro on top of the whipped cream was stale. Bit on it thinking it would be soft. Ouch! The banana and cream waffle I tried too! The waffle base tasted a lot like the churro one, but it is definitely a better choice if you're looking for a more simpler dish. It came with a side of syrup, and an adequate amount of sliced bananas. The atmosphere is chill but can be loud at times. It's such a great hangout place! Will be back!
