    Ribeye

    Pretty tasty food, servise was really good we had constant re fill on our waters and servers came to ask how everything was tasting pretty often. Oh and our food was served pretty fast too. Definitely will be back!

    Basil Ribeye Bliss: A Flavor-Packed Thai Fusion Experience Worth the Hype 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!

    Taste and Glory is one of those brunch spots that lives up to the hype. The menu puts a creative Asian fusion twist on classic breakfast favorites, and the result is both unique and incredibly satisfying. Every dish looked as good as it tasted. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and thoughtfully executed without feeling overdone. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to the details, from the beautifully plated entrées to the perfectly cooked eggs and crispy, well-seasoned sides. The fusion elements add just enough creativity while still letting the comfort of brunch shine through. The drinks were equally impressive, especially the specialty lattes and refreshing house beverages that paired perfectly with the meal. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself eyeing neighboring tables and already planning what to order on your next visit. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Even with a busy dining room, the staff kept everything running smoothly and made sure guests felt taken care of.

    Came on a Friday afternoon. Waited 5-10 min. Not long. Ordering was quick. Got their chicken croffle, Tom yum scramble and an ube latte Honestly left a tad disappointed. For the chicken croffle. You do lose all the flakiness of the croissant. The chicken was good. The Tom yum scramble. The Tom yum sauce doesn't work well with the. Other flavors. Wish the croissant was toasted. The ube latte was good. Not too sweet.

    Thai Tea French Toast

    We saw that Taste & Glory had a lot of hype and mentions of long lines, but we thankfully got lucky one day and got in with 0 wait. Cute and quaint cafe in San Mateo with unique offerings. The thai tea french toast immediately caught my eye because I love thai tea and anything thai flavored in general. While it is presented beautifully, the flavor itself fell flat for me. Thai tea is known to have bold flavor and a strong tea taste. This was really lacking that. My partner got the chicken croffle and he loved it. I tried it and it is definitely something I'd order too! Chicken was nice and crispy and the croffles weren't dry or soggy, but the perfect in between. We liked that it came with both a savory sauce and syrup. I'd definitely return to try other things sometime.

    Delicious brunch spot! I recommend getting there as early as possible since the wait can get pretty long. We went on a weekend and were able to get seated right at opening. We tried two dishes and both were excellent: -Tom yum scramble: The tom yum flavor really came through and was present in every bite of the eggs. -Thai tea french toast: Great flavor overall. I liked that the thai tea sauce was served on the side so you can adjust the sweetness to your preference. I do wish the french toast had been a bit fluffier but overall still good. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for brunch with unique and flavorful dishes!

    Blue Butterfly & Iced Biscoff Latte
    Kyla Patricia A.

    We walked in on a Saturday - right before the line got super long - and waited for 10 minutes. Staff greeted us and took our orders right away. The tables were really close together so it was a bit harder to maneuver around. It was easy for someone to bump into the table when passing by. For drinks we got the blue butterfly - which is on the sweeter side. We also got the iced biscoff latte but a bit disappointing. It wasn't sweet enough and you couldn't really taste the coffee. We really enjoyed our dishes - carbonara udon, crispy honey chicken Benedict and the ube pancakes. The carbonara udon was on par with the one we had in Japan. The chicken Benedict was full of flavor and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I've had better ube pancakes in the peninsula but they still tasted good!

    Omelette
    Erika C.

    The food is rounded up to four stars. I liked the carbonara udon. I don't think an omelette here though for example would be worth braving the line (yes, even on a weekday there was a line) and parking situation. If you see no line and you find a parking spot, it's a cute brunch place; otherwise it's not worth it because you do feel a bit rushed even if you get in (not from staff necessarily but just seeing the crowd). There are more brunch options downtown now though (Johnnys, whispers) so maybe things eased up.

    One of the better brunch places I've had in awhile. Immediately we noticed that there's a line, and luckily the wait was not long but they do require the entire party to be there to be seated. We had the chicken croffle and the tom yum croissant. I liked the chicken croffle with how big the fried chicken is, and the sauce it comes with complements the flavors well. The chicken itself was a little bit dry in the middle. The tom yun croissant is very creative, never had anything like it before. I like that there's a lot of crab provided in the croissant. It can get heavy after awhile with the sauce. Overall I had a good experience here, good service despite being so busy most of the time. I would come again!

    It is not busy on Monday noon time

    I've driven by this place multiple times, saw the lines outside, and had really high hopes. Unfortunately, after finally trying it, I found it completely overrated. The Good: Presentation & Vibes: The food looks amazing. The portions are generous, and the dishes come beautifully plated with toast, fresh fruits, and great presentation. If you're here strictly to take photos for social media, you'll love it. Carbonara Udon: This was the standout dish of the meal--flavorful, well-made, and we cleaned the entire plate. The Bad: Spicy Fried Chicken Plate: Extremely dry and virtually tasteless. Dungeness Crab Salad: You couldn't taste any fresh crab--just pure saltiness. I actually had to use ketchup just to eat it. The Service: Beyond the food, the service was frustrating. The staff were running around and chatting with each other, but completely forgot our two drinks until long after all of our food had already arrived. When we brought it to their attention, we got a totally indifferent "whatever" attitude--like forgetting items or brushing off customers is just standard practice for them. Final Thoughts: I went on a Monday, so thankfully there was no wait. I definitely wouldn't recommend waiting in a weekend line for this. To me, a great restaurant needs good taste and attentive service in addition to nice plating. I won't be coming back or recommending this spot for actual food lovers, but if you just want pretty photos for social media, it serves its purpose.

    Iced Ube
    Abrielle T.

    Great first experience! Very cute place with great food. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Good came out pretty quick too. I ordered the Crème Brûlée French Toast and O.M.G it was SO good. It legitimately tastes like crème brûlée. Even the top of the French toast was crunchy and sugary. I also ordered the iced Ube which was so tasty! Not too sweet and it had chunks of Ube in it. Yummy!! I left very happy and satisfied. Definitely look forward to coming back.

    Cute, modern, and cozy brunch spot. My friend and I came here at around 1pm on a Saturday. There were 3 parties ahead of us when we arrived, so we waited about 10-15 minutes before being seated. It took some time for our food to come out after ordering. I ordered the Crispy Honey Chicken Benedict. I really enjoyed this dish. The potatoes were perfectly bite-sized, crispy, and seasoned. The poached eggs and chicken were a good combo. Whenever I order an eggs benedict, I'm only able to finish half and have to box up the other half. However, I was able to finish 98% of this dish. It could be I was super hungry this day or the flavors and portion were just right for me. Anyways, that's just to say it was good.

    Tom Yum Scramble, Thai Tea French Toast, Ube latte, matcha latte
    Joanne L.

    Finally checked this place off my brunch bookmark list after wanting to try it for quite some time. We came around noon on a Saturday and only had a short wait outside, though the line situation felt pretty chaotic with multiple customers walking straight into the restaurant and skipping ahead. Thankfully, we were still seated within about 15 minutes. I really enjoyed the Tom Yum Scramble served inside a croissant. The croissant itself was a bit disappointing, slightly stale and reminiscent of a Costco croissant but the tom yum scramble was absolutely delicious and flavorful enough to make up for it. The Thai Tea French Toast was nicely balanced and not overly sweet, though I would've liked a bit more texture and crunch. As for the drinks, I'd probably skip them next time. Both the ube latte and matcha latte tasted a little artificial, and I've definitely had better versions at other brunch spots. Overall, I enjoyed the food and appreciated how attentive the service was.

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!

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
