The food here was nothing fancy, but very tasty..they also have a good variety of breakfast choices at a reasonable price...nice selection of coffee choices as well with healthy milk options for your specialty brew. I had the regular drip which was hot and delicious. They have outdoor seating in a small area off street filled with plants and sunshine.... nice little find

Best eggs benedict Ive ever had in my opinion. I compare every hollandaise sauce to the patio coffee shops. I dont know what theyre doing back in that little kitchen oh, but theyre doing something right!

Only place that was open for fourth of July and we got lucky we found it. Great French toast and over all food. Service was slow, but because of low staff, which is understandable. I would go again.

This is the ideal location for a cup of coffee while at work. It was also ideal for dating due of its simplicity.

Open early & nice patio setting with lovely flower outside. Latte is good and $3.75. They serve meals too but wish there are smaller tables inside to just order coffee. 1 hr limit street parking in front.

Small casual low-key diner style, good friendly service. The menu has some more healthier options, as well as some options for breakfast/lunch without eggs. Usually can find easy street parking.

Support local! Great breakfast burrito, coffee is STRONG, a very clean & friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend for breakfast. If you want to eat there, they have a really nice sitting area in a courtyard that around the corner.

We always enjoy our time and meals here. My son and I used to come here twice a month after music class until covid hit. Glad were able to support this amazing establishment again. Highly highly recommend, and the owner has always been meticulous about cleaning and providing excellent customer service. I felt very safe dining here

I have been to this coffee shop many times and mostly for breakfast. Food and prices are both very good and excellent service. They have added outside seating now which is nice to have during these times.

Food: 4 StarsAmbiance: 4 Stars (Casual but clean)Service: 2 Stars...the owner is really friendly and attentive but Ive found on numerous occasions that the staff are just slow and somewhat oblivious. Despite the fact that its a small cafe and not too many tables to serve, consistently see that they seat people slowly, miss bringing menus, dont refill coffee or water...the list goes on and on.Would I come back? Yes, for the food and the owner and the fact that its the only spot within walking distance of where I get my oil changes and tire rotations.However, I really wish the owner would address the staffs lackadaisical attitude. In a way I cant fault the owner since it seems its just hard to get good help these days.

A lovely peaceful space in the centre of Leicester, opposite the cathedral. Good coffee and nice veggie food too. Perfect. Theres a beautiful meditation room with some lovely statues in that you can look at and if you time your visit right theres a short meditation class every lunchtime.

Hope I can take more pictures there, too many people. I ordered a cup of coffee latte with chocolate croissant. Coffee has a rich flavor such as hazelnut, and the croissant is really good if it could be reheating will be better.

Great service and tasty food. Their scramblers are their best. Often more food than you think for the price, yet each meal is well rounded. I go here often when I have early mornings.

Wonderful little gem on 25th Ave. The owner is so nice and friendly, the coffee and smoothies (especially the chai chiller) are fantastic, and the food is delicious!

We came to 25th to grab sandwiches at The Spot, but it was closed, so after searching for sandwiches nearby, we found The Patio. I ordered the veggie sandwich, and it was exactly what I wanted! The kids had quesadillas and fruit, and my husband had a burger. Everything was delicious, and the service was good. Well have to come back for breakfast sometime, because it looks amazing!

A part of old San Mateo thats still thriving. Nice food in a casual diner setting.

Review №38

I use to frequent this cafe (same business name with different owner) on a weekly basis during the late 90s, this establishment use to serve the best omelets and sourdough bread/toast.So fast forward to today we went in with low expectations but somehow we still left disappointed. Service was subpar, unenthusiastic waitress whom didnt bother to refill our tiny glasses of water during the entire meal. Food was terrible, if an American cafe/diner is incapable of preparing a simple omelet or canned corn beef hash or pancakes.... its time to close the doors or revamped the concept and menu.

This is a fairly average diner. The service was pretty good, but the food is fairly nothing special. Ive only tried a couple of the breakfast dishes. If I were in the area looking for breakfast, I would go here, but I wouldnt go out of my way for it.

Patio Coffee Shop is a favorite of locals. Its not fancy, but its comfortable and the people are always friendly, staff and patrons alike. I appreciate that its one of a kind and not a knock-off of every other coffee shop around. Parking on 25th can be dicey at shopping hours, but theres always plenty on the side streets. The restaurants and retail shops here project a similar idiosyncratic but quality character. 25th Avenue is one of San Mateos oldest and most genuine neighborhoods, with a warm ambience that reflects the homeyness of this part of town.

Nice chill coffee for lazy holiday mornings. Like their choice of breakfast. Have to admit, it is a little cramped.

Review №55

A favorite place for breakfast for my wife and I. I go here more often on my way to work for the delicious breakfast burrito. To me, its huge, so I can have half for breakfast and the other half for lunch. If I dont get take out, I would usually order the Hillsdale omelette. Its so good, you dont want to add condiments to it. My wife enjoys their 2 egg with linguica. She can be very critical of how linguica is made and gives this place a thumbs up!The staff is always very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The place is always spotless too! With all that said, Im glad its always easy to find seating here. Absolutely recommend!

My favorite dinner- it has recently been renovated in a retro style and has excellent quality food and coffee- far above the usual diner. Also a family owned small business with friendly service.

Review №63

Went there expecting a good meal came out with buyers remorse this was by far the worst meal I ever had in my life. I would never go back to this place again. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet there was little to no ham and the portions were lacking and it tasted heavily of alcohol and the coffee was terrible. To top it off the service was lacking as well. I dont understand how these people are still in business with such terrible food. oh well maybe I just went on a bad day but Ill never try again I hope other people have better luck.

Tiny, friendly place along 25th Ave. I had blueberry crepes that were light, filled with berries, and topped with powdered sugar and cream cheese. My husband had an omelette loaded with toppings. Both of us (unnaturally) raved about the side of potatoes. There is something special, but we couldnt put our finger on it. They make our decision to return guaranteed!
