    A beautifully decorated, Italian café themed, Brunch location in the heart of Burlingame! I've been a few times when I'm there on work trips and I've never been disappointed!

    There are so many oprions on the menu I was having a hard time deciding on cocktails and carbs! Esly, made himself available to help me decide. I went with the Morning Rum cocktail and French toast with a side of chicken apple sausage and scrambled eggs with cheese. The food is delicious!! The cocktail was nice light juicy thing perfect for a morning pick-me-up. The food presentation was mouth watering, the staff and Elsy, specifically, was very pleasant and helpful at 9am on a Tuesday, and the decor is beautiful enough to inspire IG brunch posts. Very nice!

    This was our 2nd time coming here. We discovered it in August of 2024. And when planning the trip to San Francisco for Chinese new year we knew we had to stop here! Food was incredible!! Just as we all remembered, the service was amazing!! The staff is all so friendly! And the food OMG . I used google to check the wait time and the service called to let me know that there was no wait for 3 people. There is paid parking across the street from the restaurant and there were lots of available. If you have a bigger party there might be a lil wait but I noticed that people didn't have to wait too long. I didn't wanna tell people about this place but it deserves the recognition. It's hard to find a place with 5 stars in all things!!

    On a brisk Monday morning, my partner and I were looking for a quick breakfast while waiting for cere tea to open for the day. We ended up heading over to stacks for a quick bite and it did not disappoint,. It wasn’t super busy so we sat down right away and ordered the all meat omelet. After a short wait we got our food from the kitchen and it was delicious.Additionally, the vibe is very vintage and it has a real old school feel. Excellent service and classic food can never go wrong.

    Great place for breakfast with family. My omelet was great and my wife's selection of pancakes were also excellent. The location and atmosphere were also very pleasing. For a Saturday morning we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes but one of the best breakfast places we have visited!

    This place is by far one of the best breakfast/ brunch spots in the area. I made a visit here with my previous girlfriend, since we were craving for some good brunch and we were in the area. Upon arrival, their was a bit of a wait, but I did not mind since I am a very patient person. When we were called, the staffs gave us an option to dine inside or at one of their outdoor tables. We chose outdoor since it was a warm and beautiful day. Their menu consists of breakfast platters, sandwiches, shareable items, special dishes, drinks and much more. It was our first meal of the day, so we ordered basically whatever sounded good. Everything was made to order which is always a plus because freshness matters. When our food arrived, it was more than we expected and it was enough for a second meal. The staffs were welcoming, well trained and understanding which made our visit a satisfying one. I recommend this place to all breakfast lovers, if you are looking for a quick bite in the morning or if you just want to try something new. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.
