Great new addition to the San Mateo food scene! The club sandwich was delicious, as was the buffalo chicken salad and chicken fingers for the little one. Looking forward to trying out their brunch menu soon. Large parking lot in a the Laurelwood shopping plaza, and conveniently located next to some Tesla Superchargers!
Always exciting to have a new breakfast spot so we had to try it. The service was fast, super friendly and welcoming. The location was bright and warm. Food was delivered fast as well.
On October 27th, I visited Brother's Cafe around 3:00 PM while running between appointments. I was looking for a quick, protein-rich meal but was unsure what to order. The staff member at the counter was exceptionally patient and helpful, guiding me to a perfect decision. The service was quick, and the food was delicious. Thank you!!
Nice, quiet spot where you order up front and they bring the food to you. I got the eggs benedict and it was cooked perfectly. Also I loved the hash brown as it was one crispy, delicious rectangle. Bottomless coffee and nice people. Would totally come back.
This place is popular for brunch. Dinner was pretty calm. I got the fish and chips with a Cesar instead of fries. It was great. The fish was very flaky. The fillets were a little small. To drink I got the ghost town hazy. I really liked it. The only complaint was they have one person working everything. It was kinda stressful seeing our food ready but the lady was busy at the register.
All the food we ordered was delicious. We got the French toast, breakfast sandwich, and kids hamburger and fries. They give big portions and plates are very filling. We also ordered coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Delicious!
Brothers Cafe is my go-to in the area for a simple, high-quality brunch. The menu isn’t fussy: just well-made staples like eggs, pancakes, and solid coffee, and everything comes out fresh and consistent. Service is warm and quick, the space is clean, and prices feel fair for the quality. It’s an easy stop while Tesla supercharging nearby.
This was our first time here, and walking inside gave a pretty warm inviting feeling for a Wednesday morning. Simply decorated and well lit. It was pretty busy as well. I was greeted right away, and my order was taken promptly. Both people who helped me were super nice and made sure my order was complete.
Very nice restaurant cafe with large menu for everyone to pick something to their liking. I like the setup of ordering first at the counter and picking a table out after to have your food delivered to your table. The interior is very clean. Has outdoor seating. Tried the spaghetti carbonara and the Mediterranean chicken plate. Both were excellent in taste and portion size. The orange-carrot juice was freshly squeezed and delightful. Service of employees was top-notch.
Looking for a nice breakfast place by redwood city/woodside, my partner and I stumbled upon brothers cafe. With a few other locations in the bay, I knew this place must be pretty good. It was indeed pretty good. We ordered the St. Patty’s benedict as well as the Bananas Foster French Toast. Both dishes were pretty delicious and the service was great. The cashier was very patient with us as we navigated their menu and as this restaurant is an order then sit down restaurant, it was very easy to get seated. It is in a pretty isolated area, so I am not sure how busy they would get here, but it is a pretty good breakfast option.
