    Have been here half a dozen times and always find it first and for most clean ! Additionally the staff are friendly and the service is above average for speed and excellent for overall quality. Food has always been served fresh and hot and the refills on drinks mostly in a speedy manner. The place has some outside seating and located in great downtown Los Altos. Perfect for those that want a little less crowed but excellent place to enjoy a bite. Highly recommend

    2/14/2024 Rick's Cafe 205 State St Los Altos, CA 94022 We ended up here for lunch since the place across the street had a 15 minute wait. It has a spacious clean setup with real furniture. Service was prompt, even after our order taker left at his shift change. The menu is mainly breakfast all day with some sandwiches and burgers. Wifey had the Hungry Rick with special ordered Blueberry pancakes and I had the Country Fried Steak special. Both were okay with good size portions. The signature item is that they feature toasted bagels instead of bread with their offerings. Value was okay but there are other similar DTLA places I prefer, so probably no repeat.

    The vibe is fab place for breakfast especially on the weekend! Omar warmly greeted us and took our order. He's great! Super attentive! Made sure our breakfast went great! Of course, thanks as well to the team behind him who deftly helped at each touchpoint of our meal! The veg crepe was splendid! The fruit crepe was perfect! The Bacado Omelet was hearty and tasty! And the Italian Scramble that Omar recommended was right on! Delicious! What a great way to start Saturday! Would order everything again! Hoorah!

    Breakfast is awesome here. The menu is filled with so many choices, it made it difficult for us to decide. My guests ordered omelettes, skillets, and pancakes. The breakfast items are fantastic. The blueberry pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I had ever seen. It was a large stack of three pancakes filled with abundance of blueberries with a side of blueberry sauce. The omelettes and skillets were awesome. The side of bacon came with four slices of bacon but the taste was a little flat (I like my bacon more crispy). I ordered the "philly steak" with french fries and salad. Unfortunately, their version of the philly cheesesteak probably needs a little help (I'm originally from the east coast and am familiar with the genuine Philly cheesesteaks). The salad was a little disappointing, but the vinaigrette was delicious. The french fries were crispy and good. I ordered a guava mimosa. It was a little on the sweet side for me, but overall not bad. The service was quick and attentive. Overall, I would come back for breakfast again. There is street parking and small lots in the neighborhood. There is also outdoor seating if you prefer. Vegetarian options: One of our guests in our party is vegetarian and there were plenty of selections that met his needs. Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly.
