    Cold noodle bowl with added grilled chicken
    Mary A.

    While spending a work day around this biotech hub, our colleagues introduced us to this nearby cafe. It is a nice find to have in this area. We came here both times we were on site, and we tried a variety of things. The first day, I got the Cold Noodle Bowl (added grilled chicken) and the second day, I ordered appetizers (Buffalo Cauliflower and Crispy Brussel Sprouts). The noodle bowl was light but otherwise kinda flavorless. The only things that brought out the flavor were the red bell pepper slices and the dressing. On the other hand, the appetizers were sooooo good. I really enjoyed the Brussel sprouts, and they give sooo much for an appetizer! They also have a variety of coffee and smoothies, and they switch up their free flavored water on a daily basis. There's lots of nice seating indoors and outdoors, making it perfect for doing some work on site. Looking forward to trying their sandwiches and other entrees when I'm next back in this area.

    Wednesday afternoon on the patio

    An amazing new cafe just opened here in Redwood Shores. We found it located inside the Redwood LIFE science and business park. The Hollo Cafe brings a new level of sophistication to the breakfast and lunch options in the neighborhood. There is a diverse selection of healthy foods ranging from fresh salads to warm dishes. AND, in addition to the standard drinks, sodas, juices, they have fresh brewed gourmet coffee. One more note: for the sweet tooth's of the bunch - they have some fantastic deserts - perfect for that mid-afternoon pick-up. On our second visit we enjoyed the outside patio, summer sun and WiFi. We really got the feeling of a family run business. If you're in Redwood Shores and are looking for a "new favorite" spot, give The Hollo a try.

I just parked in the giant parking lot a block away and walked over. The staff seemed a bit edgy on my visit ... not sure why. The restaurant itself is rather dark & gloomy inside. Either that or they forgot to turn on all the lights. I ordered a Dub Club as I always do at an Erik's DeliCafe, and it was absolutely fantastic! So good, in fact, that I might have to forego other locations and just come here instead (even though it's kinda gloomy and hard to find). Ah well ... I can always get my order to go. ;-)

We crossed the road and I seen Erik's A frame sign pointing up the road. Tucked along the inside I have never seen this place. So we went in for a look. It was clean, well presented, the staff was welcoming. It smelled great. We asked how long they had been open there and he said about a year! What?? Crazy! We ordered a Ruben and a carrot cake. That was the best Ruben I've had in a very long time! And the absolute best carrot cake I've had! Great lunch! We will be back! Tucked around back of the post office. Just go!

M sandwiches pleasantly surprised me with its warm crusty bread, crisp tender bbq pork, and fresh cilantro and pickled veggies. The place is tiny - really no seating indoors and just a few chairs outside - but I'm adding this spot to my regular to-go rotation. I love that they give you potato chips with every sandwich, and unwrapping every sandwich that has the twine tied around it feels like you are unbundling a treasure. One tip - I thought the grilled lemongrass beef sandwich would be similar to the bbq pork one, but the beef was more like a meatloaf. Still good! Just not what I was expecting.

    I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing…read more I ordered the grilled pork bánh mì from this place earlier. I was hungry and started eating the sandwich while walking, but after just a few bites I had to throw it away. The grilled pork was unbelievably salty--easily one of the saltiest bánh mì fillings I've ever had. It tasted like the meat had been heavily over-seasoned with salt, to the point where that was the only flavor I could taste. The sandwich was also loaded with mayonnaise, which made it feel very heavy and greasy. Combined with the salty pork, it ended up tasting like mostly fat and salt. The bread didn't seem particularly fresh or house-made either, which made the overall experience even more disappointing given the price. I hate leaving negative reviews, but for the cost and quality, this was not a sandwich I could finish, let alone enjoy.

    Quick take: Great sandwiches…read more Ordered a Monster Turkey and a Roast Beef Royale. Very yummy sandwiches. I like the bread too. Highly recommend this spot for sandwiches.

    WHAT IN THE DELICATESSEN IS GOING ON HERE AT MO'S??!!…read more First, check out my pics, then absolutely get here as soon as possible to enjoy some crazy delicious sammies and other treats! Tiny little baby deli on the edge of Belmont and San Carlos border, nice peeps serving up some seriously nice quality deli goodness. Tiny shopping center on El Camino Real with baby parking lot, lots of street parking free on the boulevard. I ordered the Sanburger 2 and chocolate croissant. Words cannot do the sammie justice, except that it's a dang Big Mac, but no burger and healthy! Whaaaaattt???!! Yes, you read that right. I want to eat this sammie everyday. Recommendation, get the sammie as they serve it for the Big Mac replica effect. There are Sanburgers 1-5. The one I ordered is 2, roast beef. They melt the American cheese on the sliced roast beef, then placed on the sesame seeded bun with shredded lettuce, mustard, MO's special sauce and lots of lovin'. When I took my first bite, I said out loud, "Am I eating a Big Mac?!" Very creative are these folks. The chocolate croissant speaks for itself. It's fully loaded flaky croissant goodness and it's huge! Head over to Mo's for an excellent sammie experience! Plan for to-go as it is very tiny, however, there are tables and outside area, too. The location used to be a Subway for years. Very nice new flavor in town. I believe they opened in 2024. I will definitely return!
