Caffe Central in Burlingame

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.

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 :)

Great place for brunch/lunch. Pretty food, friendly staff, pretty outdoor seating. Can get crowded on weekends and results in longer wait for food so plan accordingly.

Nice coffee shop at Burlingame downtown. This is the first first visit. I was looking to visit the coffee shop, which I had never been before. When we arrived, it was pretty full. It has indoor and outdoor tables. They are many customers who seem to use it for meeting as we can see many are on video call. I just cant feel the privacy of using coffee shops for meetings unless it is the only choice. About the food, there are many dishes to choose from. You can see the samples. For me, most of them are for brunch or lunch since portions are considered huge. They also have pastries. You still can order a light breakfast option like we did, which is burlingamer. It is egg, bread, and avocado. It has many options of coffee. You can see the coffee options on the wall. Your order is at the cashier, and you will get a number. They will bring your order to your table. Our breakfast was good, and the latte was good, too. One thing may be they can do is to provide a dirty dish container and let customer clean their own table. It is the norm in many coffee shops.

Still a Perfect experience at a nice price in a perfect location. I know I can rely on all Cafe Central locations to provide me with a great experience during the holidays, and every other day. Today was no exception.Plain Croissant warmed. With honey on the sideCentral Latte with whole milk, extra hot.both tasty.Table was clean.Staff was on top of everything.Atmosphere is a modern chill good vibeRestroom was clean and neat.My current experience was left me satisfied.Thanks Ramin, Mia, and the rest of fine crew at the Burlingame Cafe Central location. Ill be back,,, again!

It’s a decent place to have brunch, but the service could be slow when crowded(took about 20 mins to get our food). I went here just to get the latte :) (It could have been hotter).They gave me boiled egg when I asked for scrambled eggs but they corrected the order after pointing out.Our server was great though!

Had an assortment of dessert cakes to take away: Moro blood orange, opera cake, mango mousse, chocolate toffee. It’s nice to get a wide assortment of flavors to try. Seems like they have an inefficient service model where you have to remember the names of what you want and tell it to the cashier.

The food, drinks and pastries are delicious here. The place has many options for all kind of people. Gluten free, caffeine free, vegan, and people with non dietary restrictions. The place is very clean and has indoor and outdoor dining(you have to order before sitting) I recommend coming here to try all the delicious food.

A friendly and professional café with lots of a unique pastries and sandwiches. Id definitely recommend coming here for brunch to catch up with friends and enjoy a nice walk around Downtown Burlingame afterwards. The coffees were a perfect touch to enhance the experience 👌

Easily one of my favorite bunch/lunch places nearby home. They have a various range of options for food and desserts. Whatever is displayed in the glass display stand does NOT INCLUDE items on the regular menu. Be sure to read the menu if you want additional choices. The service is excellent, and they are fast with the orders. You must order, pay and then find a table. Try to AVOID coming here after 12pm; it gets so packed that the wait can be over 30 mins. The perfect time to come is in the morning up to 1145am. This place is worth the wait anyway!
