    Pistachio Latte
    Tracy A.

    Great food. Superb service. Ambience is cafe. Rabbit to go and head over to Newhall across the street. Pro tip!

    This is such a cute coffee stop! Or a cute date spot :D I love the green couch :) Very busy in the mornings so I ordered ahead of time. The dirty chai was a milky coffee with the essence of chai :) Limited street parking, free wifi Thank you :)

    Cute seating area with "fireplace"

    Went here for lunch. It's located on San Mateo Ave where there's a lot of restaurants to choose from. Place is cute and well decorated with a little area for kids to play/read books. What drew us here was that they had açaí bowls. Ordered a mushroom empanada, caprese style avocado toast, açaí bowl and horchata latte with a plant based milk alternative. The mushroom empanada was spectacular. Packed with a savory blend of mushrooms, cheese and vegetables. I really enjoyed the chimichurri sauce it came with. I could have eaten more of it if it came with more though the amount given was adequate. The chimichurri gave it a fresh herby kick to the golden flaky pastry. The açaí bowl was good--standard and exactly what you'd expect. Thick and refreshing with a good balance of sweet and tartness. The caprese style avocado toast was underwhelming. Minimal basil that you can't taste which was disappointing because it made the toast feel incomplete. It was so basic, I felt like I could have easily made it myself at home. The basil is such an essential ingredient to caprese that it doesn't really deliver on the flavor you'd expect . Lastly, the horchata latte. What I was really excited to try. I opted for oat milk instead of the traditional milk it comes with and honestly, it was a miss for me. It had an overpowering aftertaste that I couldn't drink it after my first sip. When I mentioned the aftertaste to the staff, he told me he was already aware of the issue and that others had brought it up before. That was honestly disappointing to hear, because if it's a known problem, it raises the question of why it's still on the menu or being served without any adjustment. It felt a bit misleading to continue offering something that's known to have that kind of feedback. He did offer to remake my drink, which I appreciated, but I had already finished my meal at that point and declined. Overall, it left a disappointing impression and I probably don't see myself returning.

    One Love Café in San Bruno is such a charming neighborhood gem. Ordering was quick and easy, and the staff made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. I tried the vegetarian sandwich, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. The real highlight, though, was the pistachio coffee -- unique, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. It's not something you find everywhere, and they do it really well. The ambience is cute and cozy, making it a great spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get a little work done. With friendly service and great flavors, this place definitely deserves five stars!

    Perfect place for a brunch on weekend with absolutely no wait or stress. Party of 5 we're seated right away. Order at counter or via QR menu. The acai bowls were amazing and generous, and the staff was very accommodating to our requests. The super breakfast burrito was hit with the guys in the party!! Again many other ruin for add ons!! Only one 1 n out ur party had the coffee and it was a decent one. Wanted to try the matcha latte to gauge the quality of it but maybe next time!! Definitely a great spot for low stress, no wait and good food!

    Found this place in 2024 and really like it. The atmosphere is great and the shop looks very nice. The red velvet iced coffee is my favorite drink here.

    Breakfast burrito with bacon and chipotle sauce... YUMMERS
    Dana S.

    My new favorite little gem. I wish this spot were in my hood. I'd be a regular here. The coffee here is heavenly and my breakfast burrito was DELICIOUS. It's the type of spot where you could get lost in your book, get some homework done, catch up with an old friend, or just pop in for a delicious coffee to go. Every neighborhood needs a charming little spot like this. Love the couches, the art on the walls, and the music selection. The young man helping us was nice too. Thank you for a warm experience with delicious food and one of the best cups of Joe I've had in a long time.

    Pistachio Latte

    This place is so vibey . My flight had a huge delay, so I stopped in for breakfast. I'm so glad I did. The decor immediately makes you feel at home and cozy in the best way. The staff was so friendly in answering my questions, and the food had great presentation and was delicious. I started with a pistachio latte which had that nutty pistachio flavor but wasn't overly sweet or syrupy. I had the avocado toast with bacon and egg, but I asked the eggs to be scrambled. The dish was bright in flavor and the textures were on point. I wanted to get a pastry to go, but the portion size was perfect for me and I was nice and full. Next time I visit the area, I would definitely stop in again.

    Family owned café open from morning to night featuring works from Latin American artists. Order using the QR code on the table or at the register. Your drinks and food will be brought to you. Our order: Latte: $6.00 (Large - 20 oz) +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +/- Creamy with STRONG espresso -No latte art Lavender Matcha Latte: $6.35 (Medium - 16 oz) +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Strong matcha with fragrant lavender flavor throughout +I liked how there were different sweetness levels: 50% sweetness was perfect for me +Lavender blossoms on top were an aesthetic touch. +This is the 1st time I've seen whipped cream included in a hot matcha latte, and it added creaminess to the drink without making it too heavy. Side notes: 1.) 2.75% Credit Card Surcharge 2.) Restroom available for customers. 3.) Limited street parking *Verdict: I would return to try more of their drinks if I was in the area!

    Mushroom empanada and avocado toast along with a latte and matcha

    Dropped in at this gorgeous Cafe on my way home from South San Francisco. Just wanted a quick bite to eat and some caffeine. And I am so glad that we stopped by, because the empanada was absolutely delicious, the decor in the space was lovely, the latte was great and the service was really good too. If I lived nearby, I would definitely drop in with a book and settle in for a few hours. But alas!

    This place has a vibe !! Cute cafe in San Bruno ! What I really loved is this cafe promotes local artists, there are many amazing art works you can enjoy in this place. We ordered Mexican Mocha - Great taste ! Loved it. Regular coffee is also very good. We tried poppyseed and apricot pasties. Poopy seed pastry has nutty unique flavour and Apricot pastry was warm so that was amazing with coffee. Food was served to the table and server was very welcoming. Loved this place !

    Come for: breakfast burrito Know that: small, family owned shop with both the pros and cons One Love Cafe is a hidden gem in downtown San Bruno. They are a pretty small place so expect some operations hiccups (things may be slower) but the food is quite good. My favorite was the super breakfast burrito. I asked them to place the chipotle sauce inside and that is my recommended move. The sauce gives a nice smoky kick to the crispy hash browns and bacon. Towards both ends though, it was pretty empty with just tortilla. I also got an avocado toast to go that I'll have to try fresh next time. The toast got a little soggy during transport and the avocado had a bit too much lemon. I'd be willing to give this another shot. Overall, a nice spot to have in downtown San Bruno. A cozy little cafe that serves acai bowls is a welcome addition to the relatively quiet downtown.

    It was my first time visiting this café this morning, and I will definitely say it is a beautiful café. Very colorful and vibrant. I definitely love the vibes in there. It was super quiet. We went in maybe about right when they had open maybe 30 minutes after they opened. It was very quiet very nice. There was a few people already there and they were enjoying the food. Ruby the cashier/barista was super helpful and kind definitely appreciate her and the whole crew for helping us out with our breakfast and beverage order. We absolutely enjoyed the food and the portion was very big for the price. I would definitely recommend Bay Area locals to come here in the Peninsula. This is absolutely a Gem! Thank you one love cafe team. We appreciate you.

    "Great hole-in-the-wall Mexican near SFO airport"…read more Came here for dinner at 6pm on a Monday night, based on good Yelp reviews. The place is unassuming-- has a thin stretch of outdoor seating and a handful of tables inside. Not super bright in lighting, and a TV inside was showing a baseball game. Seemed like a lot of the business was takeout, as people would come, hover, get food, and leave. I was GOING to order the fish tacos or a fish quesadilla, but I was swayed by the picture of a breaded fish plate special. My son got the carne asada quesadilla, and others at the table got a veggie burrito and a chicken bowl. Food came out pretty quick-- maybe around or just over 10 minutes (the fish plate and veggie burrito came out slightly after the other two). I was very impressed that the fish plate looked even BETTER than the photo (see photos of both). The fish was HUGE. There was a generous helping of guacamole, lots of fresh avocado slides, some onion and cabbage, etc. There was a nice bed of lettuce on the side with sour cream over it, and the rice & beans (covered with a thin layer of cheese) on another side. The fish plate was just delicious. The batter wasn't overpowering or too heavy, and the fish was excellent inside (and very flat). I really liked the sauce in a little cup on the fish, or having it with avocado or guacamole, or even straight. The rice and beans were yummy too. Such a great dish, and it was under $20 before tax and tip. My dining companions all liked their food, though my son said the carne asada meat was "just good" (he had a bite of the chicken and said that was better). The person at the register was friendly. And as mentioned, the prices were very reasonable. I'd happily eat here again if in the area. Great portion size, great quality, good value, etc. Enjoy!

The cups were filled only halfway. The woman (Imelda was the name on the receipt) told Z that they didn't fill the cups up to the brim because of the no ice request. So....does that mean that they fill up cups with 50% ice?? Any way that you look at it, it's CHEAP and a major turn off. For my dish, I ordered the Tijuana Taco Salad ($16.75), requesting to separate ONLY the bowl-shaped flour tortilla shell from the contents (with no cheese). To ensure that they understood my simple request, I repeated to keep the salad contents in one container and the flour tortilla shell separate from everything. What I received was a fully deconstructed taco salad - every salad ingredient was packed separately. Pretty frustrating that they didn't follow the easy and straightforward instructions. DJ ordered the A-1 GRANDE COMBINACION of Enchilada, Chile Relleno and Taco, replacing the taco with another chile relleno and specifying his enchilada as cheese with Mole sauce. Another fail - the enchilada was filled with chicken AND topped with red sauce. DJ is a vegetarian, so what he received was not something that he could eat. Extremely upsetting, Z tried to call them and knock on their door to discuss the issues with our order. No one bothered to pick up the phone nor answer the locked door. Very disappointing. Like I said in my original review, service, even for take-out, is under par at Celia's San Bruno. We haven't experienced such majorly low quality of service at locations #1 through #5 above. Severely unsatisfactory.
