We have always liked Cafe Borrone. But since they have no e-mail address on their website (consider this a demotion in stars, too!) I am posting publicly how disappointed we were with the affogatos last... (more)

Great cafe. Definitely my most favorite cafe on the peninsula. Try their chicken salad or chicken salad sandwich. In fact, all their salads are yummy. And don't forget to finish the meal with an apple pie and ice... (more)

I like the food at Cafe Borrone. I think they have a nice selection. And so does everyone else in Menlo Park. It is always crowded and very hard to get a table. As the food is served at the counter and you find your own table... (more)

Care Borrone offers a European style cafe setting with casual outdoor seating available. It's a great place to sit and have breakfast while reading the paper. The lunch and dinner menus are excellent as well. Even if... (more)

I really enjoy the coffee, desserts and food at this cafe and the atmosphere is wonderful. I enjoy the outdoor seating especially since allows the kids to have wiggle room and they love the fountain. There are many... (more)

We used to hang out here all the time. They have a variety of coffee drinks and great snacks to go with them. If you're a student, this is a great place to hang out as there are often many Stanford students around.... (more)

Bring a book, a friend or an appetite. This restaurant/bar/scene fills up with local Stanford students and professors discussing educational pursuits, while nightly musical strains sift from whatever band has... (more)

If you are looking for a 'European style' café where you can sit outdoors for hours, watch the people go by and drink coffee this is the place for you. Cafe Borrone also offers great selections of desserts (love the... (more)

Definitely a neighborhood hangout! situated on prime real estate, and right next to an independent bookstore -- so that you can pick up something to pretend to be intellectual while sipping your coffee! A... (more)

I love to take my son here. The coffee is great, the breakfeasts are cheap and good, and the pastries are fresh. We also love the cold meat plate! The best part is the atmosphere. If only Menlo Park could figure out that... (more)

This is a great cafe and is located right next to Kepler's--one of the best bookstores in the area. Although very crowded at times, it's a great place to catch up with friends. (more)

Great location, great patio, cheerful cashiers and (usually) friendly waitstaff. But that doesn't justify the overpriced food ($6.50 for a green salad? $0.50 to add whipped cream to your drink?). But there isn't a... (more)
