"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."

"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."

"Busy neighborhood bistro with really tasty salads, sanwiches, breakfast, pastries amd coffee. All made with really fresh ingredients."

"I always come here for brunch with my friends because of their wide selcetion of food and drinks. Although my drink gets lost thriugh the crowd sometimes, I understand becauase there are way too many people inside ordering. The workers are incredibly nice and positive."
