Opinions de Caffé Central Burlingame
We were looking for a place to grab a meal and we came across this cafe. The food came fairly quick. I ordered the Buddha Bowl ($14.95) which was so. good. The tofu was perfectly seasoned with honey, garlic, and sesame seeds. The ingredients were super fresh.. perfect place for a light, healthy meal. However, I did have friends say that they would have liked more sauce in their bowls (Chipotle Bowl). Recommend the Buddha Bowl 10/10. Also, the sandwiches and toasts come with a side salad which is really nice. ⭐️⭐️
We had to come back since the line was so long. The second time, the line was moving. We got a table and the food finally came maybe after 20 minutes. It was worth the wait. Presentation, freshness & flavor did not disappoint. My daughter & her husband live in SF. They took me out for lunch with her girlfriends
This place is the cutest!! Indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate parties of 2-6 people. They make out really easy to pick what you want to eat as they have every single dish on display for your viewing pleasure. You order your food at the cashier first & they’ll give you a number to take with you to your seat. Easily identifiable vegan, vegetarian, & gluten free options. Buddha bowl is super yummy with well flavored tofu, fresh avocado, cucumber, & radishes over a bed of quinoa. Drinks are plentiful with iced and warm teas, lattes, & juices. An entire bakery section as well if you’re in a rush and need go grab something to go. Ambiance is simplistic, very much a cafe style environment. Multiple locations as well. This one is super close to the airport.
Super cute place for brunch. THE BEST quiches, a must try when you visit. Easy ordering method and you pay beforehand so you can leave at your leisure. Self serve water near the back in cute mason jars. I would rate the food about average brunch food, french toast is pretty good and the sandwiches are too. Only thing is some of the sandwiches are stuffed with a lot so it’s hard to bite through. The place can get crowded near lunch time.
I’m obsessed with this place. The food is so so amazing. I love that they have a display of the food so you can see what you order. I’ve tried salads, omelettes and pancakes all 10/10. The iced coffee is really good and the fresh juices you can taste the real ingredients. The staff is young and friendly. Best vibe sitting outside by the sun. I look forward to coming back here when i’m in the area
Passed by this place for a quick brunch on our road trip. The store is lovely with good atmosphere. The staff are friendly, but the dine-in service is a little slow. Probably too many orders. We ordered 2 drinks and 1 breakfast dish: CENTRAL only. The coffee was already out, but our breakfast dish took such a long time to be served. The drinks and the food were good though, so I won’t leave any bad review. EDIT 1: we came back for another brunch in the area. This time, we order 1 Dirty Chai, 1 Latte, 1 Central Pancakes and 1 Lox Croissant. They were very good.
This place is amazing! It has an Italian touch and feel. It is very busy so it can he hard to get seats even though there are plenty of table inside and outside. The food is as amazing as the setting. In the heart of Burlingame, which is a beautiful gem of a city in the Bay Area. If you have not been here, it is a must visit. And if you happen to get a table on the sidewalk, stay a while, it is worth it.
I originally was going to visit Joe&Juice, but it was closed, so I strolled over here, and I am SO glad it worked out that way because I loved this place! I got the tofu buddha bowl, and it was exactly what I was in the mood for— light, fresh, and flavorful. Their menu had a balanced variety with lots of healthy options and everything I saw on nearby tables looked just as good. They also had an array of decaffeinated teas— which was great as I visited in the evening. I opted for the hibiscus tea, and it was light and not overly sweet, which was perfect. Lastly, I really enjoyed the vibe! I visited to study/work, and it wasn’t necessarily quiet, but it wasn’t overstimulating either. It is slightly more suited for dining and/or having a coffee/tea with friends specifically, but it can also do OK for a little study/reading sesh depending on the table you pick (and having headphones). Overall, such a lovely little spot and I am keen on revisiting!
Caffe Central is a fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch! They offer a wide variety of options, so you're sure to find something that satisfies your cravings. Whether you're looking for something healthy or a hearty indulgence, they have it all. The food quality is excellent, and the coffee is no afterthought. They clearly use fresh ingredients and care about crafting delicious meals. Another big plus is the seating area. They have a lovely outdoor patio that's perfect for enjoying a sunny day, and the indoor space is comfortable and inviting as well. Overall, I highly recommend Caffe Central! It's a great place to relax, enjoy a delicious meal, and soak up the atmosphere.
I absolutely love this place! Their breakfasts and coffee are always amazing — everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I often feature Caffè Central’s dishes in my Instagram stories and reviews, and so many of my followers have already visited after seeing my posts — every single one of them loved it just as much as I do. Such a cozy, welcoming spot — definitely one of my favorite cafés in the Bay Area!
Must try 🍽️ Berry French Toast ( Best ) 🍓 It had a chocolate filling ( tastes like Cadbury dairy milk), perfectly cooked, not too sweet and covered w strawberries. Tomato mozzarella sandwich Fresh , the bread was a little hard but the flavor made up for it!! Comes with a side salad!! Overall, the place was chill and cute. Perfect spot for a brunch. The food is a win. Totally recommend it to anyone who loves healthy drinks and yum food.
We got a cappuccino and a Cuban latte and an almond croissant. The hot drinks were ok, however the time was Saturday noon, so everybody wanted to eat the lunch, not so much have coffee. It was a bit crowded and noisy, but you can imaging the place during the other time of the day than the rush hour and that could be a pleasant place for drinking coffee and chatting the life.
We got an almond croissant (7/10), a latte (8.5/10) and a california bagel (7.5/10). The food was good, only complain about my bagel is that it came with some fruit on the side but it was pretty sour. The place is cute but the tables outside don’t have such a pleasing sight. The service was quick and nice. The food choices are wide and there’s a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. You can have a full meal or a food break there, it’s perfect for any occasion. The place was a little dirty, I would recommend keeping up the cleanliness more. Overall I liked it. Thank you byeee :)
Kind of a trendy, popular breakfast and code place. I love the outdoor seating area and the air, high ceiling indoor seating. Order at the counter, receive a number and wait for your food to come. For first timers, choosing food can be intimidating. There are food display counters, menu on the wall, and paper menus. So much input. But I think it turns out they all say the same thing. I do thing the food display is great as you see exactly what you’ll get. Anyway, the California omelette was fantastic. Really well cooked. Some places overcook omelette but not these. And it comes with a couple slices of delicious toasted baguette. Eggs Benedict are another high recommendation. Someone else got a sandwich also on the Baguette which looked good. Note it’s the hard type of Baguette, not the soft. And lastly, I don’t have any but the pastries and desserts looked delicious. Maybe next time. Really good restaurant.
It is an excellent place if you want fresh foods with lots of vegetables and choices. If you are a picky eater, this is not the place for you. They have a weekend brunch menu as well. That's very eclectic.
Found this spot since it was right near our hotel, and it clearly draws a crowd! We stopped by for breakfast and the place was absolutely packed, which is usually a good sign. The Food The menu is huge—they have everything from quick pastries to full sit-down meals like Eggs Benedict and French toast. Here’s the breakdown of what we tried: • Eggs Benedict: Awesome! Perfectly cooked and really hit the spot. • Chocolate French Toast: Fantastic. If you have a sweet tooth, this is a must-order. • Strawberry Croissant: This was the only slight letdown. While it looked beautiful, it was a bit stale and lacked that fresh, buttery crispiness you want in a croissant. The Experience The system here is order and pay at the counter first, then they bring the food out to your table. They also have water carafes already on the tables for self-service, which I always appreciate. Even though it was busy, the service remained solid and friendly. Parking & Tips Since it’s right in the heart of downtown Burlingame, parking is all street parking. You might have to circle the block once or twice during peak morning hours, but it's worth it for the vibe.
The decent, albeit a bit on the pricey side. The biggest issue is the free for all seating. Morning brunch house is busy here and it's "seat yourself." This just leads to single people taking 4 tops and waiting for 15 minutes while their friends park/arrive. I really dislike having to fight for seating, watching all the diners so I can swoop into a table as soon as they begin to stand. If this place just hired a hostess who seated people, it would be a much more enjoyable experience. Much nicer than having people eyeball you, hungrily awaiting your table before you've even taken your last bite. People even come up and ask you when your leaving, while you are still eating/drinking. It's just less enjoyable.
Looks great, place is beautiful, outside seating is great, but nothing counts more to me than the quality of the food. It was okay, not that good. Créme of some kind on eggs should sound great, but I couldn't really palate it without taking a piece of toast with every bite. The bread, too, was very tough. I'd read the reviews saying this is the "tough kind of bread, not the soft kind", but still, it was sliced toast and very tough. Latte was okay, a little less bitter than some.
I usually come here for my morning routine and have a good time. Today, the café was fairly quiet when I arrived. I opened my laptop while finishing my breakfast (soup), and I was still drinking my tea — I can’t drink hot tea and hot soup at the same time. The whole thing took about 30 minutes. When the café started getting busier, a lady asked if I was done and tried to rush me out. I actually wanted to make space for others too, so I told her I was almost done and just needed a few minutes, even though I was maybe 10% into my tea. I was also finishing up work with a tight deadline, so I needed a moment to wrap up my thoughts and save my file properly. Within the next 30 seconds, she came back and scolded me three times: “You need to leave!,” “We cannot have you here!” while tapping aggressively on my table, to the point I had to tell her that I’m a customer too and I wasn’t done with my drink. She didn’t believe me until I literally had to open my drink lid to show her my unfinished cup. Then she questioned whether I even bought the drink, because I brought my own mug. I had to show her my receipt, which she took to check. I didn’t expect to be interrogated over breakfast. I even pointed out that she was the one who served me, and she insisted pretty steadfastly she didn’t. I just let it go at that point. Ironically, all of this took more time than if she had simply let me finish packing up and leave normally. I understand they’re busy but not being allowed even a few minutes to finish my drink and pack up is unreasonable. Some basic courtesy toward customers would make a big difference.
