Reviews
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
