    Traditional Banh Mi
    Bethany W.

    This is a cool local donut and sandwich shop with quick and friendly service. I got an apple fritter, which was good but a little too soaked in oil....I also got the traditional banh mi which for some reason had regular American ham sandwich meat which was so disappointing....maybe I came on a bad day. But I wish my visit was consistent with all the great reviews of this place! Not sure if I'll be back....

    Open Early, great Donuts and breakfast and lunch options an great service. I've ordered from here many times but took my first trip to come an enjoy a nice cup of coffee on an early morning. So peaceful and great customer service. Cute shop that has such a comfortable atmosphere and cute decor.

    These folks are too sweet! Literally! They have such an extensive menu. The Banh Mi sammies are so good! I love the Mushroom Lovers Banh Mi. Their breakfast sammies are really good, my fav is the Belmont on a croissant. The doughnuts are really good, as well. Fluffy, chewy, light, fried, fruity, glazed, caked, cream filled...you name it, they've got it! Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. They have treats for everyone!

    This is the best traditional Vietnamese sandwich and donut shop that I love in San Carlos ! Most time I just DoorDash and it never let me down ! It just makes my life happier when I eat the food there. Eat and enjoy !

    Yes the cronuts are good!! Yes they are friendly with a smile! Yes I definitely recommend this place! Yes I will definitely come back!

    This place has been here forever and I can see why. The service is friendly and prompt and the donuts are solid! I can see that they get a lot of regular customers. Lots of different varieties and flavors to choose from especially in the mornings. The prices are also decent. I can see why this place is popular and has been a mainstay in San Carlos!

    i've been here multiple times in the past and have unfortunately noticed a downgrade each time. today i ordered a breakfast burrito and was so excited to enjoy it after having a rough monday to begin with and a few bites in i noticed a hair. i did not want to continue eating and just hoped there were no more. i should've assumed something like this would happen based off how dirty the floors and counter tops were this visit. so bummed about this waste of a normally delicious burrito they make, and waste of money. please step up your standards of cleaning.

    Yum! I've been hunting for blueberry old fashioned and any version of cronuts I could find. Surprisingly, blueberry old fashioned is far harder to find and I've finally found it here! Everything is made fresh in house daily and there are a ton of flavors to choose from. Nice, fluffy plain glazed, to Psycho Donuts type flavors with cereal on top. Their cronut far exceeded my expectations. I haven't had anything close to the original in New York and that's ok. I just want it to be good damn it! And most Cronuts are not. Theirs is perfectly flaky on the outside like the original! The staff is super nice here too. It's a small family owned shop which I love to support.

    Quality was there and I like that they have a private lot in front. Inside was pretty clean and organized.Donut case was filled with all different kinds. You can sit indoors if you want to. The donuts were fairly fresh and fluffy. We got variety including chocolate glazed and maple bar. Most of them were good The place is in a small strip mall. Also service was very friendly and nice!

    Such a cute little old town vibe in here. I kinda like it! Whoops I meant to check in this location but I yelpled and checked into the Redwood City one. Either way , the donuts wassss mmmmhhhhhmmmmm yummyy! To me it was so good I had like 4. The display is picture perfect. Very friendly staff and fast pick up. First time here to pick up a surprise bag and oh yeahh I will definitely be back. By the time I looked all around, my order was done. I was in for less than 5 minutes and out before I know it

    Who would have thought that this random donut shop in a strip mall in San Carlos would have such delicious Bahn Mi's?! The people who work there are also soooo nice! The traditional Bahn mi has everything you'd want...pate, pork, jalapeños, cucumber, carrot, and cilantro. Fresh and savory and the toasted bread is perfectly crunchy! The spicy pork is also really delicious. The sauce is amazing and it's got a nice kick. Will definitely be back for more!

    Banh Mi sandwiches now!
    Amy W.

    Had the bbq pork banh mi. Pretty tasty wished it had more cucumbers and meat.. Of course I had to get some donuts holes while I was there too. I think the sandwich was about 10 inches long. They have a deal to pay $4 more to add a boba drink but I rather have some donuts as my extra calories.

    It looks like a Bahn Mi but in no way has any taste like it. 4/28/24

    Basil Ribeye Bliss: A Flavor-Packed Thai Fusion Experience Worth the Hype…read more Taste & Glory in San Mateo is an absolute gem for Thai fusion, delivering both incredible food and top-notch customer service. I recently came here with my family and we ordered the basil ribeye, crispy spicy chicken special, tom yum scramble, and grilled chicken sandwich. Every single dish was packed with flavor and beautifully executed, but the basil ribeye truly stole the show. It's a must-try -- perfectly cooked, rich, and bursting with bold, savory flavors that keep you coming back for more. The rest of the dishes were just as impressive, each offering a unique twist that highlights the creativity of their menu. You can really tell they put thought into both the flavors and presentation. Service was warm, attentive, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The ambience adds another layer to the experience! It has a lively, energetic vibe that makes it perfect for a fun brunch outing, yet still feels intimate and cozy enough for a romantic date. One thing to note: this place gets busy, especially on weekends. Come early and be prepared for a wait, but trust me, it is WELL worth it. Highly recommend Taste & Glory if you're looking for something flavorful, unique, and consistently delicious. I'll definitely be back!

The eggs on the Benedict were poached perfectly, which I very much appreciate. Not only were they poached perfectly, but the eggs themselves were beautiful. Very fresh with that vibrant bright marigold color. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and delectable. The breakfast burger was amazing! It comes served on Filone bread which I thought went perfect with the burger. This bread is similar to ciabatta. Crusty on the outside, with a good chew on the inside. Firm enough to handle all the contents of the burger, but soft and chewy on the inside. The meat itself, chuck and brisket, was sensational. I'm not the type of person to ever order a burger without cheese but this burger could've definitely stood alone. Melted Monterey Jack, thick slices of bacon, fresh slices of avocado, and a perfectly cooked runny egg were just added bonuses. There was something on this burger that had a slight sweetness. I don't know if it was the samurai sauce that they put on it or the bacon, but it was delicious. I love that. It came served with a light salad tossed in vinaigrette as well. Coffee was served beautifully with a nice frothy head. Service was excellent. Attentive without being overbearing. Our server, Da, was so sweet and made our experience even that much more wonderful. Can't wait to come back. My one gripe was the size of the potatoes that came served with the eggs Benedict and the burger. This is not a cheap place to eat. For two of us to have breakfast with one coffee and an iced tea is $60 before tip. Don't be so chinsy on the tater tots and French fries. 10 tater tots? Come on now. It's not caviar. It's potatoes. I don't need a mountain of them just a decent portion. I almost knocked off a star for that, but everything else, specifically the service, warrants the five stars. Thank you for a wonderful meal and for the great hospitality.

The baked Brie was so gooey and paired well with the crackers, garlic, arugula and fig jam on the plate. It's a lot of fun because you get to put all the toppings on your piece of Brie. The short rib was tender and the sauce was rich, but way too bitter to my liking. The wild mushroom pasta was creamy and delicious, but could be enhanced with a bit of acid. The fried chicken was juicy. It was served with 3 cheese macaroni, corn bread and parsley. I didn't know what to do with the parsley. Overall, the meal looked and sounded better than it tasted. It'll be a while until I come back.

So, I asked what my options were and it ended up being salad or surf and turf. My husband and I decided to share the $60 surf and turf and it was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. The one thing that was the most disappointing was the $12 Italian soda. It was just not good... Maybe some of the other non gluten free items are better, but not suitable for a person that needs gluten free options unless you want to eat a salad.

By day, it's warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. You'll see families enjoying dinner, friends catching up over drinks, and locals stopping in for great food and hospitality. But once Friday night hits, the entire atmosphere transforms. The lights dim, the music turns up, the dance floor fills, and the energy becomes something you'd expect to find in a much bigger city. Friday nights bring a fun mix of crowds; from younger groups looking for DJs, dancing, cocktails, and nightlife energy, to older guests enjoying the live music, atmosphere, and social vibe. Honestly, I'm a little older myself and still absolutely love the younger, high-energy scene here. It's fun, welcoming, and never feels out of place no matter your age. That's what makes this place so unique. Everyone fits in and everyone has a great time. Then Saturdays bring a completely different experience with live artists and an incredible variety of music. One weekend you'll hear young country performers getting the crowd singing along, and the next you'll find authentic Irish fiddlers creating that classic pub atmosphere everyone loves. That variety is what keeps people coming back..every weekend offers something different and memorable. The food is outstanding, the beer and cocktail selection is excellent, and the hospitality is second to none. I finally had the chance to meet Molly, the owner, and it's easy to see why this place has built such a loyal following. Her passion for creating a place where everyone feels welcome shows in every detail. From the amazing service to the live entertainment and unforgettable atmosphere, this isn't just another local pub. It's become a destination spot and one of the true nightlife gems in San Carlos. Highly recommend checking it out, especially on the weekends.
