Brothers Cafe

Great new addition to the San Mateo food scene! The club sandwich was delicious, as was the buffalo chicken salad and chicken fingers for the little one. Looking forward to trying out their brunch menu soon. Large parking lot in a the Laurelwood shopping plaza, and conveniently located next to some Tesla Superchargers!

This place is popular for brunch. Dinner was pretty calm. I got the fish and chips with a Cesar instead of fries. It was great. The fish was very flaky. The fillets were a little small. To drink I got the ghost town hazy. I really liked it. The only complaint was they have one person working everything. It was kinda stressful seeing our food ready but the lady was busy at the register.

A new discovery for us
We have been trying all the nearby restaurants and places to eat around San Mateo and found this one
Lovely environment , big menu with lots of options , decent hygiene
Toddler and kids friendly
We spent our majority afternoon here and it was lovely
Would come again

I stumbled upon the Brothers Cafe as a result of my Tesla needing a charge. My GPS took me to a Tesla Supercharging Station in San Mateo that I had never been to before.
I came across cafe as I walked around the Lauelwood Shopping Center. The Brothers Cafe is in a nice location with easy parking.
Rory was my server; he was very professional and personable.
I ordered their Angus Beef hamburger with a salad and fries. I can't remember anyone ever asking me how I wanted my hamburger cooked; it happened here.
The hamburger and fries were perfect and the salad was dark green and purple lettuce with a great house dressing. I look forward to trying their breakfasts.
The restaurant and restroom was sparkling clean. I just wish this restaurant was located in the Walnut Creek area. I'll be back even though it's 27-miles from my house.

Super fast and friendly service! On weekends there is generally a line for breakfast. The menu is interesting with a few options from Central and South America. One unhappy thing… the muffin for the Eggs Benedict was cold… not toasted. The Platanos Fritos was OK with plantains with no particular taste. Perhaps a twist of lemon would have enhanced the taste. On the whole a bi e spot.

Was excited to see a new breakfast place on the map and decided to try! And glad I did! Great location and yummy menu! Very cozy and open setup inside with a lot of natural light. The breakfast sandwich was delicious! Defiantly coming back to try the Benedict!

We were in the area for charging our car and were surprised to find such a good cafe. They had an elaborate Vegan menu. We felt the portion size was huge. We could share a plate of hummus sandwich which came with a side of fries and a salad.

Always exciting to have a new breakfast spot so we had to try it. The service was fast, super friendly and welcoming. The location was bright and warm. Food was delivered fast as well.

We had the pancakes, French toast and biscuits and gravy. The French toast was soft on the inside but had some batter still uncooked. The gravy was a new flavor for us, not particularly our fav as we prefer a more traditional gravy. Pancakes were great. Syrup was tasty and served warm. Eggs, great. Pork sausage was ok. I’ll have to try the chicken or bacon next time.

Overall Everything tasted really fresh and not greasy / oily. The coffee was fantastic, and piping hot. Cappuccino was great too. Apple juice is fresh pressed from an apple. You’re not getting the fake stuff and even if the kiddo doesn’t like pulp, you know I drank it for her.

Our experience overall was good. I would happily go back again and try a new dish. They also do lunch all day so there’s more to explore!

Food this gem up by CSM off Hwy 92/Hillsdale.

Place was packed and the wait wasn't too bad. We'll worth it.

Everything from start to finish was excellent.

Will definitely recommend and we'll be back for sure.

If you love breakfast/brunch this is the new spot for you. Place is clean inside (including bathroom), the food was great (I had eggs, hashbrowns, toast and a swedish pancake). The standout for me was the swedish pancake. Great texture and sooo yummy! Quality and service were fantastic. Can't wait to bring my bf here. try it out :)

Came here for brunch, fantastic selection, portions, and the food was great. I had the home run breakfast sandwich and my partner had the homemade corn beef, both were excellent! We will be back!

We haven't had a bad breakfast yet! However, the Gilroy eggs Benedict is my favorite- with spinach, garlic, & artichoke. The cafe was clean and bright. Great for family or date outing. Easy parking. The service was FAST. Pricess reasonable.

It’s a great spot! It’s pretty busy but tables turn over fast and I haven’t had to wait. The owners and staff are super friendly. I love that they have tons of breakfast and lunch options, everything I’ve tried has been delicious. Even the salads are really great. It’s such an amazing addition to the neighborhood! My only wish is that they can open for dinner as well :D

Real gem! We are pretty picky so pleasantly surprised at the high quality here. Swedish pancakes were fluffy; not too thick. Maple syrup was high quality. Wife had Huevos Rancheros - Hash browns were not too fried. Just right. There is a talented chef at work here! A neighbor has chicken and waffles which also looked fantastic! Food also came out pretty quickly and was piping hot!

Plantains a PLUS!! having in the 1st place but not as juicy as I would have hoped.
Platanos Fritos worth it to try.....need "Crema fresh"!!

This place is absolutely perfect. Phenomenal breakfast. Friendly service.

Lamb Burger was the best thing I’ve eaten in a while. Very good

Excellent food and excellent service 👌 to the customer. Definitely will be coming back!

At last a place to get a hearty breakfast and good cappuccino at Laurelwood, just what the neighborhood needed. It just opened in October, but already has built a clientele. Extensive breakfast menu with good-sized portions and reasonable prices.

Been here 2x and have tried the Gilroy Benedict and the lamb burger. Both were delicious !! There is A LOT on their menu, so likely something for many different food preferences.
