Lovely outdoor brunch today with great service from Roberto. Gochujang fried chicken, Chilaquiles with short ribs and of course the cardamom coffee bun were highlights of the brunch menu. read more

I never leave reviews, but I'll make an exception for Sprouts cafe. I went for brunch with my kids on Mother's day and we ordered the k bomb chicken waffle, along with huevos rancheros, as well as french toast and pancakes. Everyone really enjoyed the food, especially the korean chicken and the waffles. Our server, Roberto, was very kind. TL;DR: Liked food a lot. Server Roberto was great read more

This place is a staple lunch spot in downtown Palo Alto - surprised I hadn't tried it earlier! They have a huge menu of sandwiches, salads, and drinks, as well as some breakfast items that are served through lunch. While prices are aligned with most trendy casual PA restaurants ($20 per entree before tax and tip), the quality of the food and service was very impressive. I got a salmon salad and it came out very fast and the toppings were so fresh and tasty. You do order at the counter but I didn't realize they had more service - a kind server brought us water, silverware, and bussed our table! I would have tipped more if I had known. Overall a great place for a quick lunch. They have plenty of indoor seating and a few outdoor tables to enjoy dining al fresco as well. read more

We came here for brunch over the weekend and ordered the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. I really liked the bun the eggs were served on - it made the dish feel a little more special. Everything tasted good, and we would definitely come back again to try more items from the menu. The service was standard, and the atmosphere inside was pretty typical, but overall we had a nice brunch experience. read more

Stopped by after the gym to grab a sweet treat and coffee. The malasada was perfection! I ordered to go and they were very friendly. I ordered an iced latte but was given a hot one. There was a lot a people so I just took it and walked out. Still got my caffeine fix so not complaining. Garage parking one block down with free 3 hours. Lots of foot traffic. Thank you! read more

3.5 stars -- Great Variety and Vibe, Mediocre Execution Sprout has come a long way since its days of just sandwiches and salads. The recent renovation and expanded menu--now featuring everything from mochi waffles to eggs benedict--make it a versatile, family-friendly spot for large groups. The Food: - The Highlights: The presentation is excellent across the board. The cauliflower was the absolute standout; I'll likely order it as a main next time. I loved that there was a kids menu option. The brioche buns were nice and soft, so fresh! The service was excellent and friendly. - The Mid-tier: The fried chicken was fine, but nothing special. - The Lowlights: Most of the brunch staples were disappointing. The pancakes were dry, and both the waffles and French toast were over-cooked to a brittle, dry texture. Verdict: It's a nice casual option for the atmosphere and variety, will come back with the family, and perhaps will order the salads next time. read more

I got the chipotle chicken sandwich, so yummy. And the side salad was so refreshing. I loveeeed the water they offer. I can't wait to try their salads especially making your own. Their breakfast options look great but only available on the weekends. Finding parking can be a challenge which has prevented me from making another visit as fast as I want but I would definitely come back. The place is cute with enough seating. You order at the counter, so the service is minimal. I will say I noticed tables needing to be cleaned but the whole time we were there, multiple tables around us were not cleaned yet. So I think that's the only thing I noticed about service! read more

Cute little cafe! There was outdoor seating so I was able to bring my dog with me for lunch. I recommend the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken tasted very high quality and the fried egg was a nice touch. I also like the house sauce they used with it. The chicken was very crispy and juicy. It looked like the burger used 2 top buns instead of a bottom bun which was a pleasant surprise! The side salad it came with was okay. Overall the staff were friendly and check in on us frequently. read more

This is my second time coming in since the remodel. As a vegetarian eating salads can be a sort of hum drum experience. I have come twice for the Southwest salad, minus the bacon, sub for their tofu. Sauce on the side. Phenomenal both times. Like if you need to increase ur salad intake for health reasons this would be the spot, very fresh. Service: stellar! Chatted with person who took my order today and he was polite, engaged, and made a perfect recommendation for my wife to try as this was her first time. Apologies for. Or remembering his name but he was great and even the cook acknowledged us and waved. The inside looks way better than before, I love the community high table!! They got a glow up for sure!! Highly recommend eating here, having meetings here, even drinks available are responsible prices. As you can see from photo I was tearing up that salad!! read more

Sprout Cafe, I Love You! You were my first love and introduced me to the world of Salad. Before that, I never appreciated eating like a rabbit. Since 2009, I've been captivated by the extraordinary variety of salads - made with quality ingredients and delicious dressings. Pictured here is the Davy salad (arugula, shaved fennel, candided walnuts, white cheddar cheese, corn, avocado and red onions with sesame-ginger dressing). I subbed out the arugula with romaine lettuce, added Furikake Tofu with salmon served on the side. Definitely a hearty favorite! My only ask is to bring back the old favorites - Kyoto and Harvest! Friendly and efficient service in a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing dining room with a high ceiling and wall of natural lighting from windows. read more

Been here twice now. Always a good meal. Never had to wait for a table (I'm honestly surprised why there isn't a wait). Easy with our 2 kids under 3yrs old. Roberto is so attentive and kind. Cardamom coffee bun is a surprised hit! Ube moffle, hanger steak & eggs, Chelsea Benedict were all pretty great. read more

This place used to be great. Last experience: stood in line to order at the register only to be told I had to go to a table for waiter service. OK. Waitress takes forever to take our order. My three year-old is getting close to nap time and ends up peeing her pants because the waitress couldn't understand what we were ordering. Not fun. Then we go to the bathroom, which has a code required, which the waitress did not give to us. Then we get back and ask if they have a booster for my three year-old. They say no. Then she asked for a highchair so I walk over grab the highchair and there are boosters sitting right next to it. Our food arrives, waiter asked if we need anything else. I asked for silverware, but he does not speak enough English to understand the word silverware. So I have to mime a fork for him to get it for us. Menu changed from many healthy salad options to waffles and different fried potatoes. Not worth $45 for a salad and kids meal. read more

Usually love ordering here on DoorDash. Today was disappointing. The dumpling soup is usually my go to but today the soup tasted very odd. It tasted like old broth.. sour and extremely salty due to being boiled too many times. The pan cake tasted off and bitter.. so when we flipped it over, we realized it was burnt. Yikes... read more

Went here for brunch on a Sunday morning. Nice little restaurant with open kitchen and creative decorations. We ordered a cafe latte, orange juice, omelete de chorizo and the dutchmen. The food was great. Nice fluffy omelette with flavorful filling and the eggs Benedict with the salmon were also great. Generous portion size as well. Service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely come here again. read more

Was craving a big bowl of delicious healthy salad and found this place near my office. Had lunch today on a Friday afternoon. I am surprised why this place doesnt have more ratings and reviews on Yelp. I ordered the build your own salad bowl w/ full salad with mixed greens and curly kale, toppings, curried chicken(+4) and green goddess dressing. Huge portions, I was so full that I even took a little togo. They even serve fresh foccasia bread to go w/ the meal plates. I enjoyed my meal. Service is decent, its order at the counter and they serve you at the table. I love the ambiance. Its like a modern cafe w/ stylish interiors and library feels from the books. Maybe this mama has not had a solo lunch date by herself in a long while, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience today in serenity. haha. read more

I love this cafe! So many options and everything is so fresh and delicious. The cardamon buns are soooo good- just the right sweetness. Plenty of options for all diets- vegetarian, gluten free, vegan, pescatarian, lactose free... the vegan omelette was delicious as are the sandwiches, salads- something for everyone! Shout out to Roberto and staff for their friendly and helpful service. Roberto really went out of his way to accommodate our request for outdoor seating read more

My friend recommended this spot after a hike and all I can say is I would definitely be back. They have a cute outdoor on the sidewalk for those sunny days in PA. The indoor seating is nice too and there's enough space between tables. Everyone working there was so welcoming and friendly. I was conflicted on whether to get the salmon wrap or a salad but I was really craving something light and refreshing after the hike so I went for the curry salad and MAN, I was sooo happy with my decision. The sauce was such a hit and they give to the perfect amount. The plate looked massive and I was unsure if I was going to eat it all but I definitely did! We also got their strawberry chia fizz which was delicious! It wasn't too sour or to sweet but the right amount of everything in it and to be honest I'm not a fan of sparkling drinks but this was great - the fresh berries added to it too! Now if you have a sweet tooth like me-- don't skip out on the desserts. This has got to be one the best spots for their cookies. We tried their chocolate chip cookies and bought more to take home lol. It was crispy on the edge and soft in the middle but the way it would just melt in your mouth-- I would love to take that recipe home if I could! read more

I have been coming to Sprout Cafe for a few years now, so the review is way overdue. I typically come to pick up something for dinner so I have had several salads from here -- tuna nicoise, davy, southwestern. All salads are really tasty and a good balance of proteins and vegetables. The portions are huge. What prompted me to write the review was my visit today. I went for a weekend brunch for a change, and our waiter Roberto was such a sweetheart. Very attentive and caring. We were offered the cardamon coffee bun on the house, which is apparently only available on weekends (if I heard that correctly). The bun is of a good size (see picture) and comes in 5 pieces with the way it was cut. The melted butter was placed in the middle. The bun was not overly sweet and the espresso wasn't too heavy. It actually would have been a great dessert but we had it before our main courses. All portions were pretty huge. Chelsea benedicts, moffle, omelette de chorizo, and avocado toast were all great. I also really enjoyed the tator tots. Again, big portion. I don't know what the dirty sauce that comes with the tator tots actually is but it's yummy. read more

Very clean and hipster atmosphere. We had a large party of 20 and we weren't sure if they'd be able to seat us all but they did. We split up adults and teenagers. Service was good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The menu had lots of brunch options and also lunch options. Hard to choose as everything sounded delicious. They have vegetarian and vegan options. My family ordered: California Omelet - the ingredients were fresh with great color! Delicious. The salad nice. It isn't just bagged salad. Two egg breakfast with bacon - they cooked my eggs exactly how I ordered them. The levain toast was perfectly toasted. Moffles - nicely plated with fresh fruit. Wished it was chewier but it was yummy. Will come back here next time we're in the area. read more

Solid lunch spot now offering brunch on weekends, without the lines of nearby competitors. The full salads are a generous size, with a wide array of bases, toppings, proteins, and dressings to optimize from, although some toppings were applied a lot more generously than others (and are mostly completely unseasoned, which makes them taste very healthy but somewhat bland, especially the tofu). The eggs Benedict and side of potatoes were well cooked, and prices are reasonable for the area. Would come back to try the soups! read more
