We've sat inside and outside on a beautiful Sunday morning. My favorite thing there is the berry pancakes! SO YUMMY!!!! (Only problem I had was a customer who wore a whole bottle of perfume next to our table so that's all my husband and I could smell or taste! (GAG!) Someone who wears terrible heavy cheap cologne or perfume especially so early in the morning should be thrown out when people are trying to eat! I think it's so rude and inconsiderate to the people around you. It's no different than someone who comes in smelling like a disgusting ashtray!!!! I wish restaurants would ban people who wear heavy perfumes/colognes. This is by no fault of the restaurant though.)

Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5…read moreFood: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 Eskina has a very inviting atmosphere, and the staff are attentive, friendly, and always checking in with a smile. The food is good, though not consistently mind-blowing. If you order the right dishes, it can be excellent, but there is still some room for improvement. The cinnamon specialty coffee was quite good. The regular coffee was darker and more bitter than I expected. The Nutella latte tasted a little too syrupy. I think using real Nutella would give it a richer, more authentic flavor. Overall drink experience (3.5/5). The avocado toast was tasty, especially the chipotle mayo. However, there was far too much spinach on top, which overpowered the avocado toast and eggs Benedict. The side salsa was also too spicy and could be toned down a bit. Reducing the spinach and heat would make the dish feel much more balanced. Overall 3.5/5. The standout was the berry French toast. It was heavenly and absolutely delicious, an easy 5/5. The omelette burritos were great too lacked a bit of sauce inside but solid 4/5 Overall, Eskina is a promising new restaurant with a great atmosphere and genuinely pleasant staff. I will definitely return more on the Sweet side rather than savory.

I was quickly seated, and not too long after had my order taken and had my food right in front of me. The food was phenomenal! A great spot for a bunch that gives you a balance between breakfast and lunch and if you're feeling like you would like something a little closer to dinner, they have plenty of options for you to pick from throughout the day. I spent a little over $30 but left full! The restaurant is gorgeous! They have seating near their entrance, which is outdoors and beautiful, they have an excellent indoor experience, which is also beautiful. All in all I would go again.

I enjoyed my experience here when I visited for my cousin's bridal shower. I think my experience is…read morea little biased, but the restaurant was beautiful and quite busy. We had great service and we were able to rent out a part of the restaurant that was shaded, and had some airflow since we had so many people. Our party ordered some appetizers, we had mimosas, and then we had our brunch. I'm thinking about the bruschetta, the guava juice with a mimosas, and the salmon with the corn side! I think that our party all enjoyed the food, I would love to come back on a regular day when I'm in the area and enjoy other options.

Chicken croffle tastes like popcorn chicken and the flavor was delicious. It is a good combination of sweet and savory especially with the waffle & syrup. Highly recommend this dish. Crab Cake Eggs Benedict on the other hand, I would pass next time. I wasn't a huge fan of this. However, the potatos were great! I would just get a side of that. It was very crispy and flavorful. Service was great. Restaurant is a bit small but the decor is cute. You can make a reservation in advance. Street parking.

The host was very friendly and explained that once we were ready to order, we could head to the register in the back. After placing our order for a group of four, our drinks arrived within just a few minutes. They looked exactly like the menu descriptions and tasted just as good. The food was fresh, hot, and clearly made with quality ingredients. We all especially loved the tomato soup. We also ordered a waffle to share as an appetizer, and it came topped with large, beautiful strawberries that tasted amazing. The portion size was generous. I ordered the Fresh Mozzarella sandwich on ciabatta bread and asked for it toasted, and it was phenomenal. I did not have very high expectations since this was a quick, last minute choice and we did not even check reviews beforehand, but I am so glad we gave it a try. The inside of the restaurant has a cute and colorful vibe, and everything felt clean and well kept. I will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu

SO CLOSE TO A 5***** review had an employee not been so passive aggressive when bringing is the…read morelast in our order. The food and drinks 5 ***** for this type of brunchie place. My first time here but my girlfriend who was visiting from Texas has eaten here recently while flying through to see her brother. This place very close to SFO airport so a great place to have breakfast Brunch or Lunch before picking up or dropping off at SFO as only 12 to 15 min based on traffic. THE FOOD: Cortado 10/10, Ice Tea 9/10 Flat White 8/10 (from Australian in our foursome) Hot Chocolate 9/10 Mixed salad Amazing. Soft boiled eggs perfectly cooked and balsamic on point. They have great sourdough served with delicious jam. We also had the prosciutto fig and goat cheese which was 10/10 and our friend from Texas enjoyed her GF Sammie. Husband had the Tuna Melt which he said 9/10 only because of the bread, he said 10 if he's had it on the acme sourdough ;-) Next time... The Place: Great location with lots of parking but not this past Sunday as huge event in town but in general loads of street and lot parking near by. Quaint seating inside and outside seating on both sides of this corner location. You order inside and seating is first come first serve so I imagine depending on the time of day it could be hard for any groups over 4 Employee Interaction: Super until the last person we interacted with. You order inside and they bring stuff out as made which is just the nature of busy brunch place. For example we had food come out in staggered spurts which is what you expect so as a example our friend who ordered first (10 min before us ) got her fig Sammie first but we got half our drinks first. Our food was staggered over a 15 min period also very expected at this type of brunch place. The problem came when the lady would brought the last food item the GF item and she said hey are we missing anything and I said yes my cortado and friend who ordered 10 min before we did so half and hour ago said she never got her hot coco. She was Super polite and brought them pretty quickly . We said thanks for finding them for us and she lectured us on how busy they are etc etc and were like WHOA THERE we did not complain although my friend could have as he drink came after she had eaten and 30 min after she ordered and yet we never complained. My complaint is with this staff members attitude, and I "assume" it came from dealing with folks expecting the food or drinks to all come out at same time and thats not how these types of places work. WE GET THAT and again it would have been a 5 had we not been lectured after thanking her for hunting down our drinks ;-) Will I be back SURE the food was great

The food was great! But it did run up very quickly for what I bought. I paid closer to $30. They have accessible water that you have to get up and get yourself and for drinks they're mostly all bottled or can. The restaurant is beautiful at different times during the day. They have outdoor seating's, which is nice and pleasant when it's breezy and in store, I love the color of the wood, but it feels like there's a lot of clutter. All in all I would come back and try more of the menu.

My friend ordered the root beer float with cold brew ice cubes. It was not super heavy, it mixed well, and somehow, the root beer tasted great with the subtle but noticeable coffee flavor. For my drink, I got two shots of espresso. I just needed a quick pick me up! For food, my friend got the chicken tortilla soup. It was absolutely delicious. The shredded chicken and the broth were wonderful, I do wish it had less tortilla strips because they soaked up all the broth if left there for too long. I got the California bagel, which was also delicious. It was a little too much egg for my liking, but the bagel was only $12 which I think is decent for what I got. The Strawberry croissant was TO DIE FOR. I have never enjoyed a croissant as much as this one. Fresh strawberry cream inside, super fluffy and crispy croissant overall. LOVE! Not to mention the cafe is very chic, we sat at a table where we could maximize our sunlight exposure. The servers and cashiers were nice, welcoming, and helpful. So glad we came here!

We walk into the dining room and there were several open tables. The space is pretty big with several people there working on their laptops I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and it was strong and delicious. For food I ordered a bacon cheddar quiche and a mushroom Gruyère toast. The quiche was flavored pretty well it was just a bit dry. And I wish it were served hotter. It came with a simple side salad that was tasty. The mushroom and Gruyère toast ended up being my favorite. The Gruyère got melty from the hot mushrooms and the balsamic drizzle on top was a perfect touch Overall we were very happy with our drinks and satisfied with the food we tried. Would come back to try some of their other menu offerings. The display case is really doing work in making you want to try everything

I also appreciated the LGBTQ+ sticker at the entrance that said, "You belong here." It made the shop feel warm and welcoming. I ordered an iced lavender latte, and it was delicious.

We wanted papusas and Comalito came up with spectacular reviews and was open (at time of writing,…read morethey open Fri-Sun)! Food and service were great. Food ordered: Yucca fries on the house! 1. Plantano Fritas (4/5) I love a plantains and these were delicious and less oily than other which I appreciate! Personal preference is a I prefer a little more sweetly caramelized plantains, but I did really enjoy this. The dish comes with a white creamy sauce and a refried bean dip - both yummy and not overpowering in flavor. Papusas: Lots of flavors to choose from! And in general, for all the papusas, the papusa batter is wonderful and the porportion of filling to papusa is perfect. 2a. Calabaza Papusa - mixed cheese + zuchinni (4/5) This was the most cheesey papusa, where the cheese was the heavy lifter. I enjoyed it and every bite had a nice cheese pull too it. I would have liked to see a little more zucchini green, and for it to add to the textures. 2b. Frijol y Queso Papusa - mixed cheese + refried beans (5/5) My favorite! Can't go wrong with a bean and cheese papusa and this was so so good. I recommend this classic pairing of flavors anywhere. I was thinking about this papusa for days. 2c. Chicken Papusa - mixed cheese + chicken (5/5) This was also really good. the chicken is mixed in with the cheese, so every bite has both, which was nice. There was also a lovely seasoning which balanced all the flavors beautifully. 3. Churros: This usually comes with vanilla ice cream, and the server warned us they didn't have any in stock. We were fine with that because we love churros. When we were complete with our papusas, they served us our churros and surprised with apple slices instead of ice cream which was a lovely touch. Parking: There is no designated parking lot that we have found, but the public 2 hour parking lot 2 blocks over on Second Ave! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Comalito. The hardest hurdle is parking, but once you find the public parking lot a couple of blocks over, it was easy to find and gives you a little exercise before you eat! Papusas were all delicious and there is a plenty of seating room. Keep in mind they are open Friday-Sunday only at time of writing.

I also got a side order of carne asada. All the food was good. Everything was full of flavor. The carne asada was tender. The pupusas had the perfect mix beans and cheese, with the masa being light and fluffy. The casamiento with a great mix of rice and beans. The only negative was the curtido. It was ok. Somewhat soggy and not very crisp. Also, lacked any flavor. It's a small thing, but otherwise the dinner was 5 stars.

They were huge with fresh whipped cream and a biscoff sauce. There was also maple syrup. The combo was out of the world and would definitely recommend one to get this when visiting!

But I did have some concerns…read more We ordered a special churro dalgona coffee, 5minutes of Heaven Shake, the OMG sandwich, and a half stack of the cookie butter pancakes! The food was very good to say the least, this amount of food was perfect for us. Though not too much of an issue (if this is the case) but the pancakes to me taste very very very similar to pancakes made with the Krusteaz brand pancake mix, I only say this because I had pancakes that used that specific brand's mix not too long before eating here. Regardless, the food was very delicious. For me and my girlfriend, the drinks were OKAY at best. To me, the coffee didn't have much "churro" taste in there besides the little churro treat that was added in the drink as a topping. The 5 minutes of Heaven shake threw us off a little because we weren't expecting the drink to be almost room temperature, we would have liked it to be cold like how our coffee was! Overall not too bad of a visit, definitely would come back if I'm ever in the Palo Alto area again.
