Rafi SyedAugust 7, 2014You'll undoubtedly run into a fellow VC, entrepreneur, and tesla owner here so eat your delicious chocolate cookie in a well-mannered way and don't talk smack.
Namitta ShankarJune 22, 2012Fabulous Crepes and amazing coffee. Great place to get some work done. Sit in the sun outside or park yourself in a corner inside. Free wifi with very decent speeds. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Vela MinevaSeptember 5, 2015I had a latte and a lox bagel, both were delicious! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Unfortunately, there are no electrical outlets but other than that really enjoyed this cafe! :)
Millie MardahayJuly 30, 2016Serves breakfast all day long. Good delicious food, fresh ingredients, perfectly brewed coffee. Reasonable prices. What's not to like!
Afro lynneDecember 3, 2019Best choice near Cairo train station. Friendly staff and comfort cafe food. I also sometimes use this as Uber pick up and drop off spot since the restriction around train station is strict.
Greg AugustineMarch 29, 2018First stop in the city for lunch and was not disappointed. The breakfast crepe was amazing and the coffee was delish
I love this place, but as a former barista, I cannot wrap my head around how long it takes them to make any espresso drink...
Dirk GadsdenJanuary 27, 2015The crepes are amazing! Great music, atmosphere, and vibe; staff were extremely friendly.
Daniel PlemmonsOctober 14, 2017The name always confuses people. No this isn’t ice cream. It is a good cafe though. Also good for listening in if you like taking in the sounds of startup-land.- Happy hour 3-6pm! $3 anything on tap (of which they have at least a dozen options, Guinness, some IPAs, even a cider).
Kate GardinerNovember 29, 2014Best thing in its hood for brunch. And crepes. And sitting outside when it's sunny.
Great place to meet with entrepreneurs. If you're riding the Caltrain is a great place for meetings.
Justin McClintickNovember 17, 2013Popular spot for the tech folks and VC's. Great environment and friendly staff. Have the house made chai!- Mike SingletonSeptember 19, 2013If you're stopping by for drinks after work, do the responsible this and show up 20 mins early so you can slam a burrito at the neighboring Iron Cactus first
You can get strawberry nutella with honey instead of nutella and it's awesome!
AnikaNovember 15, 2014Oh god. Salted caramel icecream. I'll say no more. (Other than - when there's a big queue, try the side window - fewer options, but much quicker.)
Emilio MartínezAugust 23, 2014Coffee and breakfast is really good! They're really efficient at taking orders at the counter, so don't get scared off if you see a long line.
Rory ParnessOctober 25, 2019When the weather is nice, grab a fruit Nutella crepe and enjoy on the outside seating
good Omelettes good coffee. also a good spot to meet someone coming in on CalTrain.
If you want the perfect ratio of milk to espresso, order a wet cappuccino! Another plus: less milk than a latte, so you'll most likely finish drinking before it gets cold.
The Santa Fe Chicken Salad is great. Lots of juicy chicken plus avocado, feta, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, and a light vinaigrette. Yum.
Yo Dawg, I hear you like cookies, so I put a cookie in your cookie so you can nom while you nom. AKA, get the cookies and cream cookie.
Gleb KaplunJuly 1, 2013Local hangout place conveniently located next to CalTrain station and not far from the South Park
Everything they make is amazing! Especially any of the smoked salmon dishes.
Andrew PandrewDecember 21, 2018Granola with soy milk instead of yogurt makes for a good vegan breakfast.
JoycottDecember 2, 2013As soon as you get off the Caltrain, stop in here for some of the best coffee in the city.
Great food, excellent coffee, but if you don't like hipsters, well, I still recommend it.
Arjun BalajiMarch 4, 2013Dreamy mochas, awesome run ins and surprisingly delicious crepes! Highly recommend.
Erik CoxAugust 9, 2014Get the roast beef sandwich and sit outside and watch everyone run for the train.- Order a croissant breakfast sandwich, no meat, and customize it with veggies instead (spinach, tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms). Pair it with an iced drink of your choice.
Best espresso and cappuccino in the area. Very nice staff too!
Good place for a coffee meeting. Super close to Caltrain.- Get lunch here on a sunny day, eat it outside and bask in the warm sunshine while working with the free wifi. And bring your SPF.
The pecan pie and a wet double capuchino is a great way to spoil your dinner.
The crepes are the best thing on the menu....also try the ginger scones
The seared tuna salad is delicious and healthy. Get no beans and it works with the paleo diet
- They've got Angry Orchard apple cider - try a pint, a little sweet and quite tasty.
