Fambrini’s Cafe

This has quickly become my new fav lunch place. I’ve only had salads so far but everything looks awesome. Portions are big enough for even those of us with a big appetite. The pancake dish looks incredible 😋🤩
Nice outdoor patio with sun umbrellas if you need shade. Friendly, quick service.

What a hidden gem we stumbled upon! It was 9:00 am on a Friday, right as they were opening their doors, and already there was a buzz of activity with people streaming in and placing their orders. Overall, it was a delightful experience. I absolutely adored it. And let me tell you, their coffee? To die for! (Haha!)

Their menu offers such a unique selection of dishes that you won't find elsewhere. I'd even go as far as to say it's one-of-a-kind. I opted for the croque madam, and let me tell you, it was a generous portion size! My boyfriend went for the scrambles, and he was equally impressed. The owner or general manager was incredibly attentive, which only added to the overall positive vibe of the place.

Thanks a bunch! We'll definitely be back for more!

No surprise people line up for this restaurant. The ambiance is lovely, desserts are heavenly, and there is sufficient space between tables to feel private and nice.

The food is constantly delicious. One of my go-to brunch places in the peninsula and South Bay. We got sandwiches: Legal Addition with Sourdough and Chimichuri surf turf with French bread. The flavor is rich and bread is wonderfully soft. The latte is pretty good too. The atmosphere adds to the experience with its charming wooden decor and lush greenery. It’s a fantastic spot to spend a weekend morning with friends.

This Palo Alto brunch spot offers both great aesthetics and flavors! They have different themed pancakes for every holiday. The Pink Pancake for Valentine's Day is a real treat, but unfortunately, it's limited to the holiday. However, their Halloween Black Sesame Pancake is a delightful seasonal option.

📍 Location: 2500 El Camino Real Suite 105, Palo Alto, CA 94306

🥞 Pancakes:

✔ O Lala Pancake: It's huge, perfect for photos, not overly sweet, and the buttery flavor stands out.

✔ Halloween Pancake: The black sesame flavor adds a unique touch, making it one of the best choices on the menu.

🥪 Sandwiches:

✔ Steak and Egg Sandwich: Better than a burger, the freshly cut steak is tender, and the combination with cheese is heavenly! I'll definitely order this again.

✔ Salmon Toast: A friend tried this and found it excellent! The presentation is exquisite.

☕ Coffee:

✔ Matcha Latte: Strong matcha flavor with a subtle milk taste, likely made with fresh milk rather than creamer.

✔ Cappuccino: Better than the matcha latte! I highly recommend this one. Plus, it looks great!

Spectacular and beautiful place with delicious food! The ambience is amazing. We had avocado toast and chicken sandwich. The food was tasty and portions were very quite big. Turtle cheesecake is the most intriguing dessert and equally delicious. French toast was fancy and very nicely plated.
The place is fun and I would visit again.
Only drawback is at least 30min of wait time in a line outside, but it was worth it.

Loved the vegetarian options. I really recommend the bird cage and portobello mushroom burgers. The lotus biscoff pancakes were also really good and it's quite a large portion. The place is very popular so I recommend getting a reservation. The veggie famburger was nice but I liked the other ones listed above more. I wasn't a big fan of the o la la pancakes.

A stunning and perfectly located Cafe!! I really recommend the pancakes they are so fluffy and airy 🥞💖

This is one of the best brunch places I have been to. Ordered egg Benedict and french toast and latte and everything was excellent. Highly recommend it

The food and ambience - wonderful! They have many vegetarian options which is great. We got their avocado toast, vegetarian burger and Mocha. All tasted good. Their service is pretty okay - they could definitely work on that. 5 stars is for the food and ambience.

Went here after almost 6-7 months and the taste is still the exact same.. awesome! They had new additions to the menu which was nice. We had the lotus biscoff pancakes and possibly one of the best pancakes i have had till date..that flavor is so good! California omelette was great as well. Dalgona iced coffee was a pleasant surprise..definitely the best dalgona i have had. Best part is the atmosphere and the plating of food. Irresistible!

This cafe is exactly what I needed while on my business trip. I walked in right as they opened and ordered their Ko-Ko sandwich with chai latte, a little before having to jump on a conference call. Both tasted really good! Kind and friendly staff. I needed an outlet to charge my laptop right before my meeting and immediately their staff offered me a table outside, where I could enjoy my latte in the sun (or shade) and have my meeting while charging my computer. * I give them 5 stars just for that accommodation *!!
Around lunchtime this place gets packed, but don’t worry, they’re quick and will have a nice table for you in no time. Thank you for letting me stay a while in your beautiful cafe and patio area. I’m definitely coming back.

If the pictures of the pancakes didn't convince you, then take a good look again.

Their pancakes were just as good as all those pictures: thick, fluffy, and decadent. It was also what convinced me to brave the lines on the weekend for brunch. Thankfully the line does move quickly and there are plenty of tables outside (which is a must on a nice sunny day) and a few inside. You order your food first then find a seat.

They have a variety of items on their menu but they are known for their sandwiches, pancakes and toasts. I didn't get to try their sandwiches but their toast and pancakes were delicious. I felt the price and portions were good and service was pretty quick.

Overall solid place for brunch/lunch!

Dog friendly, Self serve cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Order, pick up a token number and take a seat. Make sure you pick up cutlery, napkins condiments and water on your way to the table.

The cafe is known for its brunch menu and the options are plenty. We started with a Cappuccino ☕ and a Maccha Latte 🍵. We also picked up a Turtle Cheesecake 🍰 (dry fruits topped) from the display. Our main course was the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich 🥪 and 2 orders of the Lox Benedict 🥚. Benedict comes with House Potatoes 🥔 and has 2 side options - Fruit Bowl 🍎 or Salad 🥗.

The food was delicious and very filling. The outside seating fills up and gets crowded.

Very cute brunch spot with great food! We lucked out with the weather as it was sunny but not too hot especially out on the back patio under the umbrellas. The lighting was great for taking photos! It was quite busy as it was a weekend morning with many big parties present including families with younger children.

I recommend going early as there will be a line, but this is partially because you will order and pay at the front so you can pick a seat and they’ll bring your order out to your number. So, you might want to grab a menu while you are waiting.

They have a nice variety of foods to choose from as well as bakery items and coffees. We had the Biscoff Pancakes and the Burrata and Basil Toast. I really liked the pesto that came on the toast. Both were delicious, so much so that I want to return to try other items I was deciding on.

Apart from the food and cleaning up the tables, everything else was pretty self serve such as getting utensils and take out boxes. I’ll definitely be coming back!

What a gem! Delicious food, inviting patio, tasty desserts... I am a breakfast person and this place has so many options! I shall be back.,

The sandwiches here are huge and delicious! You can expect to wait about 10 minutes for your order to come out, but it's well worth it. They also have a great selection of soups, desserts, and drinks. There's outdoor seating with plenty of space and convenient parking nearby. I got the club sandwich and it lasted for two meals!

Great food with amazing presentation! Nice outdoor dining area where you order at the counter and sit wherever you'd like. Food came out very quickly. It's not surprising that it is a very popular place and therefore a line to get in

Ok so this has already been my 2nd time here & let me tell you, Soo in general I do not care too much for sandwiches HOWEVER about A month ago a friend of mine brought me a sandwich from this place and it was soooo good! I tried another one today the same Cajun sandwich and it was very very delicious as well!! This is now one of my favorite places for lunch! I highly recommend. : )

Beautiful simple cafe with great instagram worthy pics.

Food. ~$20 each but huge portion. 2 orders are enough for 3 adults.
Smoked salmon Benedict was exceptional.
Famous lotus cookie pancake live up to its look as well.

Counter front order then grab your own seats. 80% of seatings are outside.

Super paw friendly!!!! Extra points!

Ok. Parking is a pain on the weekend. Some ppl parked at 2600 but I asked the server and she said it is not officially theirs. Park there at your own risk.
