This is a cute restaurant. I came with a friend who has been here before. We went around 8 something and it wasn't busy, as it was a week day. I ordered the French toast and an early grey tea. It was exactly what I needed for the cold, rainy day we were having. My friend had the chorizo burrito with salsa on the side. Everything was amazing. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was quaint. Though I can see the possibility of it being rather loud in there once it gets busy. read more

Best thing at this location is the effort from the servers and cooks. Concept has potential but the overall experience is poorly executed. And for the price; food and portion is mediocre. Staff were clearly understaffed and under pressure. I felt for them and tried not to ask for too much as I could see they were overwhelmed. Open floorplan was nice but because they have a "sit anywhere you like" concept, groups of 2 were sitting at tables of 4 creating unnecessary wait for larger groups. The barista was using ice out of a plastic bag... Weird / foul smell in women's bathroom likely a plumbing issue. If you're seated by the hallway to the bathrooms you get wafts of it. Tres leches pancakes were dry .... Not sure if I would come back given so many breakfast options around town, maybe a different location. read more

Ordered a pick up order from Papas and Eggs for a chorizo omelette and burrito. We placed the online order and received our food almost an hour after the estimated time it would be ready. I understand if it were busy but when we walked in there were two parties in the restaurant and people who came in after us got their food before we did. Absolutely ridiculous, it seems like they do not have good kitchen management. While the food was good, the terrible service was enough to make me not want to come back. You're better off going somewhere else. read more

I wish I could say I love this place but I really don't. lol. I will say the food here is GREAT, also the service was pretty good too! The main problem we had was we came here for brunch was SHEESH this place is SUPER COLD! Like UNCOMFORTABLY cold. We expected to walk in from the 50 something degree into at least a semi warm /home-y environment? But nope! lol. We almost considered leaving right when we got there but we just laughed about it and ordered. :) Next problem is they told us to pick any place to sit but we had to switch tables like 3/4 times because all the desirable tables were DIRTY. By the time we went to the 4th table we were happy it was clean. Yay! Right? WRONG. It was the most clean but there was a spot with dried out crusty food near the corner. EW. :( Normally I would ask for someone to please clean it a bit extra but I didn't want to bother the server. We decided to sit here because it was the only booth available and most of the other tables have those hard, uncomfortable wooden chairs with literally no cushion. Who wants to sit on those kinda chairs? Hint: NOBODY. lol. These are the kinda chairs restaurants use when they don't want you to stay long, or just don't care about comfort in general. (Also they're easy to clean I guess) Anyway besides the fact that it was SUPER COLD, we eventually adjusted to the cold environment mostly. The food arrived very fast and we were so excited to eat. Everything looked great and the California Burger is definitely a delectable sight to see. lol. Then as we were enjoying our brunch I felt a huge COLD DRAFT hit me, it sent shivers down my spine! lol. They randomly decided to crop their side door open. UM WHY???? It was already cold now it was literally FREEZING! lol. &It was 52 FREAKING DEGREES OUTSIDE. DUDE wtheck. lol. My boo was literally shaking like a chihuahua from the cold, it was literally soooo SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE. Not cool. lol. I jokingly said "They are trying to freeze us out" but guess what? I was right. lol. Before they decided to leave the side door open to start letting in 50 degree cold winds, there was around 8 tables and every table left one by one after that door was left open. I thought they would close the door after a short outside task/duty? But no, no one ever did. We were still eating so we couldn't leave, but we had to rush to get out of the FREEZING environment. The only two tables left were the furthest away from that door. NOT COOL. I will say this could've easily been a 4 Star because the food is awesome! But the fact that they don't care about the customers comfort AT ALL and they decided to freeze us all out gave really bad vibes tbh, and it was very unwelcoming. I was already going to take one star off for the dirty tables all over too because cleanliness is super important to me in any dining experience. Anyway please start considering the comfort of your clientele, instead of making people freeze and leave after they get their food. I could've left a great review for the food tbh because we enjoyed it. lol. If you plan to go for the yummy food, BUNDLE UP or get to go. Seriously wear a parka if you have to! lol. :) Also some cleaning wipes for the tables or maybe ask for assistance. Overall I would say: Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Music: 4/5 Classic 80s bangers Inside environment: 1/5 due to almost freezing to death lol. I will also say the music was fun to listen to it was 80s rock bangers like the throwback Rocky soundtrack. lol. That was very unexpected for a brunch place but still cool I think. lol. read more

Papas and Eggs - Banana Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

I came on a Sunday morning with my boyfriend. I got the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon and he got the regular breakfast platter with eggs, sausage, and has browns. We also ordered a latte to share. Everything was SO SALTY. My smoked salmon was already salty and everything else has extra salt in it. Salty potatoes. Salty hollandaise. Salty egg. It wasn't even just my plate, my boyfriend's plate was also very salty. There was also nothing special about the latte either. I would expect a latte at a breakfast place to be more fragrant but it somehow tasted like instant coffee. Unfortunately I will not be back since I've had much better experiences at other breakfast places. read more

Only other problem I had is when ordering to go or delivery portions are not the same yet charge more crazy....... read more

Tried out Papas and Eggs for the first time this past Sunday, while in the area for the farmers market. It's located where the old Taco Bell used to be on Aborn, right before San Felipe Rd. It's an open seating area, with a open kitchen set up. Clean and welcoming. The waitress was polite and helpful with our order. The breakfast potatoes were perfectly flavored and tender. All and all excellent visit. The only thing I would maybe change or add, is cushions to the wood chairs for comfort. read more

Solid 3.7. Found this place very interesting. A lot to like. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Place was well kept open kitchen concept is awesome. You can tell they take care of their place and cook everything in front of your eye. Some frills though. First off. Water.. no ice? Had to ask for ice no biggie. Fresh squeezed orange juice for $9 a bit steep but now days what isn't. Again it was fresh squeezed so was a bit warm. No biggie ask for some ice. Nutella pancakes. Eh. Pancakes were on the dryer side nothing crazy. 6/10. Bacon breakfast burrito was loaded. Bacon egg hash browns. Hot fresh I like salsa was spicy other than the $17 price tag with a side a fruit 7.5/10 the star of the show. Mole chilaquiles. 8.1/10 Very flavorful crispy well done good combo with Beans cilantro and red onion very well done. Came with chicken breast that was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Very nice. $19 with out an egg again steep but what isn't now a days. You can add an egg for $4 again kinda steep but egg was done well. Good place will come again but no rush to get back. read more

Friendly and welcoming. The perfect breakfast - chorizo burrito. Exactly the way I like it.

Stopped by on Sunday morning for breakfast & the restaurant was very nice inside. Clean and nice decor! The food however was not that good & service was ehhh. The portions here are quite small for the price. I got a chicharron Chilaquiles and honestly I don't know what to expect but I just got a bowl of tortilla chips and green salsa. There was barely any pork rinds in there and a tiny teaspoon of beans. The eggs on top were an extra $4 and I asked for the yolks to not be running but it was still basically raw (i personally hate running eggs). Overall the bowl just tasted like sour tortilla chips. Eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon was mid. The Benedict were small and the potatoes were mushy. Overall i probably wouldn't come back. I give this place 2 stars because I liked the interior of the restaurant. read more

Papas and Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here for the first time today, and was easily impressed by the service here. This location used to be LKT & Grill, and though I miss them, Papas and Eggs was a great replacement. The restaurant is very cute inside, and has some pretty good breakfast food! Our waitress was incredibly kind and paid great detail in our orders- much appreciated! OKAY THE FOOD: * Meat Lover's Omelette- you can't go wrong with a classic omelette and hashbrowns. I had a pretty busy day ahead, and the dish alone kept me pretty filled from 8:30 until 2/3! * Iced Vanilla Latte- pretty tasty, the waitress had given me the extra brewed coffee w/ ice and it was the perfect amount. I'd definitely give this place a try, and plan on coming back :) read more

Cold Cafe de la olla, under staffed, almost everyone has to ask for utensils and tables staying dirty was crazy. Only time they cleaned a table was when someone came in and needed a seat. Servers never acknowledged us or even came back to check on us. Food was ok but took way too long to be served. When asked for more coffee they literally came as we were asking for check. Really was not great impression to be honest. read more

Final Thoughts: 3.45/5 Cute little brunch spot within the Evergreen area. Brunch is probably one of my favorite meals and I like going to different places to try their items. Typically brunch items are limited, but I still like those foods, nonetheless. Food: Chicken Waffle With Berries & Maple: 3.0/5 This dish is under their "Maple Plates" and what it comes with is a waffle, a chicken cutlet, sliced strawberries and blueberries, a dollop of butter (I believe it's flavored with brown sugar/maple/cinnamon of sorts), and dusted with powdered sugar. Starting with the waffle, it is fairly dry. When I cut into the waffle, it wasn't crispy like it would after coming out of the waffle iron, but it was more dry and crumbly. On the tongue, it felt almost like this waffle was stale, which is not ideal. Flavor wise, there wasn't anything too significant to note. It's slightly sweet, which is fine because syrup is provided. Moving onto the remainder half of this dish - The chicken portion. The chicken also felt like it was something that had been sitting inside of a warmer versus being freshly fried. Perhaps because the chicken was quite thin, as well, that might have also contributed to the dry texture of it. I'm very used to the chicken being a cut like chicken thigh or the wing, which tends to be juicier. Otherwise, the flavor of the chicken was fine. It did need some syrup on it for additional flavor and moisture though. For the fruits provided, they were good. There is a light dusting of powdered sugar over them, so that contributed to the sweetness of it. Lightened up the dish as the other components were quite dense. Appearance: While my first impression did see it as aesthetic, the color seems very dull because of the components of the waffle and chicken. The fruits added nice color and freshness to the plate, which I did enjoy. --------- Quality: As previously stated, I felt like some of these components were't made to order. With that said, my friend did order these very crispy fries and they came out amazing. Super crispy that the fry would just snap. Maybe it was just that day or this dish is very popular that some items need to be prepared farther in advance to meet the demands within a timely manner. Price: Fair to expensive Pricing here appears fairly average...sorta?? For the chicken and waffles, it was $18 without tax and tip, which leans more on the expensive side given what was presented. However, I understand that this is a fairly average price for chicken and waffles at another café. Price range for the food items here are about $15 to $19 with a few outliers being $11, $22, and $26 for a plate. Service: Friendly The servers here were nice and friendly. I love their energy. Food was brought out pretty quickly. I believe there was a little mix up with one of our dishes, but that was caught upon delivery, so not a huge concern perhaps. Ambiance: Cottagecore This place gives me cottagecore vibes. The interior has simple, but sleek colors. Earthy tones like green, white, and wooden tables too. A little vase was on the table too. Very cutesy and aesthetic for me. The space inside is quite spacious, so there's lots of room. Location/Parking: This brunch place replaced LK Tea & Grill. The line of these shops face Aborn Road, so it's a pretty nice location with the fair amount of traffic happening here. It is right at the corner though and sometimes that can be overlooked. Parking wise, also just a line of parking spots parallel to the shops. There isn't a lot of space, but it seems optimal for the amount of shops that are present. I personally don't go here often, but I haven't noticed any concerns whenever I do. read more

Lots of parking but, depending on the time you go, you'll find a "close"spot, if not, you'll walk a little & check out the little business's that are in the same center. Located literally in the corner. They are very friendly as soon as you walk in the door,Service with a smile. Looks small & cute inside, but it fits small & big party, so if you're in the area & need a place to go, check them out. Food tastes & look good & the pricing was good enough for what you get. Husband order steak & eggs (med rare) but came out Well Done, so he was not a happy customer, I told him, with any Steak...you "never" know if their gonna get it unless MAYBE you are dining @ a Steak House. But it's all good, this restaurant is in my hood, seems like a nice family establishment & I'll support them & I can honestly say, I'll probably become a Loyal Customer. read more

They were doing their best but understaffed. I waited an hour for my food, just for it to be served cold. The portions were small for the prices. So many people walked in and left because they were never handed a menu or served. The food had the potential to be good but cold chilaquiles and beans is not appetizing. read more

If online orders cant be handled with the time posted then why have them available. Waited 45 minutes past the time i was told it would be given to get my food. Kept getting told 5 minutes but nothing. Wish i could give 0 stars, horrible! read more

First time coming here, the food was okay. Only one person making the food so I get they were probably under a lot of pressure to get orders out. We were able to sit down right away so that was a plus. They didn't have an ice machine so that was odd, if you wanted ice you had to request it for your drink which they then scooped out from a bag of ice. Also if you get any latte iced you'll get charged an extra dollar which I guess goes back to them having to buy that ice bag. I do appreciate how much detail they put into the inside decor and painted walls that was lovely. I probably won't come back again but thank you for serving us. read more

Papas and Eggs - Chicharon chilaquiles Verdes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

We went soon after they opened and thought we'd give it another chance based on positive reviews as they've been open longer. Don't waste you money or especially your time on this place. Service was horrible, and the food wasn't much better. We sat down and had to wait over a half hour before being able to order (20 mins before we even saw a menu or had anyone come to the table). Once he brought our food (which took another 20+ mins), there was no silverware and we asked for some. He gave me attitude and said he was going to grab it but instead he walked to the counter and started talking to someone. We had to wave them down again just for silverware (pretty hard to eat over medium eggs without a fork). After we ate, the server was quick to being the bill but hovered over the person paying, watching to see what we were tipping. When asksd for a receipt, he said no. It would be one thing if the service was this bad but the food was good however of the two slices of bacon, I t was so undercooked that maybe half of one piece was edible and the pecan waffle had one piece of pecan mixed in the batter (the rest were simply whole pecans on top and the butter on the waffles was cold and hard to spread. The waffles were also very dry. read more

Excelente servicio y deliciosa comida regresaremos pronto. Muy recomendable para todos.

I'm so sorry. Even 3 stars seems generous. This place is even in my relative neighborhood but I did not enjoy the experience. Started out well as we got seated immediately. Ordered pretty quickly. But the food took nearly 45 minutes to be served. A bit of a long wait for eggs, I'd say. And it was only about two thirds full in there. I saw other people openly disgruntled about waiting too, I assume. For the price ($23 eggs Benedict), the quality and or presentation of the food should be better. Maybe some garnish around the potatoes; a slice of fruit, some color. Potatoes were ok but bland. Benedict was nothing special. Brioche egg sandwich was pretty decent though. I know it's a soft opening but it was what it was. I personally don't think the kitchen is big enough in capacity to serve the entire restaurant. I remember this was the same from the previous restaurant in this space. But the area badly needs a restaurant like this. read more

Looking on Yelp this morning, me and girlfriend were craving breakfast food and this location was the first to pop up. After seeing the good reviews on it, we had to give this place a try since we love trying new food places. When we walked in you can tell this place is very spacious and offers tons of seating. What caught us off guard at first is that we had to walk all the way in to get the attention of our server and not by the door. What we ordered: Iced Matcha latte (2/5): the drink is more on the coffee side and you can tell they added at least 2-3 more espresso shots in it making it super bitter to drink. The first couple of sips there was a ton of chunky powder, we aren't sure if this drink was mixed properly or not. There was little to zero taste of matcha in this drink, but luckily we were able to swap it out for a different beverage. Horchata (3/5): at first sip, it hits you with a very strong hint of sweetness. They added cinnamon powder on top but after mixing up the drink, it tasted more milky than a usual horchata. Was a little disappointed because there wasn't as much flavor as we expected it to be . Chorizo omelette (2/5): this item came with an omelette, 2 slices of bread and hash brown. For a food item that is $18, we thought we would expect a little bit more in this dish. The size of the omelette was smaller than what intentionally thought it would be. The hash brown was more on the soggy side and the bread was a bit dry with barely any butter to complement it. I felt like they just threw on chorizo in the middle and called it because the flavor was all compacted into one entire area. Bacon Burrito (4/5): this item came with eggs, hash brown, bacon and cheese complimented with a side of salsa to go along with it. This was fairly the best item we had there, but we wished they added more bacon to the burrito. The side of fruit that came along with it looked like it's something made for kids because it was chopped up into tiny pieces. Overall, this place opened up last Friday so we understand that they are still experimenting on some certain food items. We hope to come back next time when they have gotten everything down. read more

Service and food were exceptional. The ambience was so loud, I'll probably never go back. It was like an echo chamber. Why can't restaurants understand the concept of acoustics? Also, they had loud bass from one speaker from the kitchen and it was like I was at the club, not brunch. Pick a lane. Invest in sound dampening panels. Play softer music, people are hungover at brunch. When I walked in, I almost walked directly out. I pitied the staff, they probably have headaches by the end of their shifts. Food was fantastic, gluten free French toast was very very good. read more
