Patio Coffee Shop - San Mateo

My mom used to take me to this restaurant after I served mass as an altar boy at St. Greg's in the mid-70s. Although I moved away from San Mateo a long time ago, I still love coming back here. The food remains excellent, and the staff is genuinely nice. I'm proud to say that I've been dining here for half a century. Food: 5/5

My wife and I stumbled upon the patio and decided to grab a light breakfast. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the people were friendly and conversational. It felt like a local spot where the neighborhood residents come to dine. We left feeling very satisfied with our experience and will definitely be returning. Food: 5/5

Ordered an El Camino Real omelette, and it was quite good and the portions were very generous. The fruits that came as a side (watermelon and cantaloupe were quite small however. The coffee was excellent, including the fun white raspberry flavor!Service was very friendly and the food came out very quickly. There was a good amount of seating both indoors and outdoors, and the outdoors seating area (the famed Patio is a lovely brunch spot on a nice day : overall would recommend.

This place serves the best breakfast in the area! We absolutely love it and always try to go on Saturdays or Sundays, whether it's just the two of us or with the family. The food is fantastic!

Came in the establishment when they opened. Waitress was friendly and saw the cook in the kitchen. The waitress took my order which was the French toast two sausage and two eggs. Requested over easy. Food came quickly and looked ok. My initial visual was the eggs which looked runny. Sure enough they were. I rate the overall experience as average. Hope the owner takes a moment to review this as I wanted to rate them higher being my first time here.
