As others have mentioned, Cafe Borrone is an institution in Menlo Park! It's been family-owned and serving the community since 1979, making so many of their offerings by hand, using local and sustainable ingredients. We frequented Cafe Borrone for 10 years when we lived in the area, then moved away. On our recent visit, we were thrilled to see them still open and thriving! Order at the counter. There's almost always a line so don't be deterred. It moves quickly. Get a number and then find a table inside or outside on their sprawling patio. We found a shaded outdoor table and our food was brought out to us pretty quickly. We shared: Organic Beet Salad: Roasted Organic Beets, Grapefruit, Pickled Fennel, Avocado, Goat Cheese, & House Balsamic Vinaigrette *this is a beet salad, not a green salad - super light and refreshing flavor combo! C.A.T.S. sandwich: Jarlsberg Cheese, Avocado, Tomato, Sprouts, (no Mayonnaise) on Baguette *my favorite! Just as good as ever. We used to order this To-Go, to take on flights or trips into the city. It carries well. Gouda Sandwich (see "House Focaccia Specials" on the menu): Zoe's Turkey, Smoked Gouda, Caramelized Onions, Tomatoes, Organic Mixed Greens, (no Mayonnaise), Served on House Focaccia *soft, delicious focaccia, caramelized onions for the win! To drink we had an unsweetened iced tea and an iced matcha. They offer a full array of espresso beverages, as well some wine and beer options. They serve breakfast, bakery items, lunch, and afternoon bites 5 days a week, and dinner is available on Saturdays and Sundays. There's a parking garage below the cafe. What a treat to enjoy Cafe Borrone again! We'll be back!

We had lunch here although it maybe suited for the breakfast crowd ,anyway,Food was fabulous, however limited but fabulous service was spot on . Even though it's location was .. close to parking garage..which is a good thing..ambiance was pleasant umbrellas for every table. Nearby shops close by for the walk afterwards . They know what they're doing. Highly recommend

Good place for a coffee or fresh orange juice and some light food. It is a great location to meet people or just do people watching. It's got a diverse set of customers, working professionals, startup folks, Stanford University and Menlo College students. It can be hard to get a table at lunch times and on the weekends. They do bring the food out and give you a number to put on the table. Staff is hard working and friendly. Good place to hangout. The tables outside do have some umbrella to protect you from the Sun.

We had an excellent experience at Cafè Borrone! The coffee was strong and delicious, providing the perfect start to our morning. We enjoyed the French toast and egg scramble, both of which were cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The ambiance of the café was very pleasant, creating a relaxing environment to enjoy our meal. The service was fairly quick and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be returning soon!

Some friends and I went for an afternoon hangout. great food, i got the panini which was perfectly crispy and flavorful. vibes and service were great.

Arrived around 11 AM on a Saturday, the line was out the door but it moved fairly quickly. You line up to order and then sit down, there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food also came out pretty quickly after ordering considering how busy it was. We got the frosted mocha, Italian torta, vanilla French toast, and salmon bagel. The mocha flavor is good in the frosted mocha but it's super thick, almost like ice cream whipped with cookie butter. Overall, the food was solid and as expected

I stopped by here for a quick caffeine boost and was pleasantly impressed with the interior ambiance - lot of very cool and interesting paintings adorn the walls, with each table hosting a pretty vase of colorful snapdragons. The coffee was good and I would certainly be back to enjoy brunch or some food at this place, as it is has a great setting both indoors and outdoors.

Great cafe ambiance for a coffee, brunch, or lunch. The line to order moves pretty quick then you seat yourself and the food gets brought out to your table. Large selection of tables both indoors and outdoors. I got the granola bowl and added yogurt and blueberries, and it came out to almost $20 which is pretty pricy in my opinion. Really enjoyed it however, definitely recommend their homemade granola.

3.5 stars - mostly for attentive friendly service and good capp. I took a friend out for a bday lunch and we both got sandwiches. I got the veggie melt on sourdough/rye - thought it was sourdough only - actually we both did so not too excited to get the combo with seeds in it. Anyway - my sandwich looked impressive but it was just a soggy mess of very meh flavors - which is odd - had to add salt and pepper to it - really lackluster esp for $19 - nothing else comes with it like a side salad etc Friend got chicken salad - just on some sliced bread - nothing special. Total for two sandwiches plus one drip coffee and capp came to $45! Kinda of spendy for such a meh sorta of meal Cafe is really nice ambience and the customer service is really good. Perhaps we ordered the wrong thing
