Foreigner Cafe

“Great breakfast, service and incredible coffee in one place!!”

Jerry McGinnis★★★★★

Amazing breakfast spot with unique offerings. We had a French Omelet and a Berry Croffle (croissant waffle). The inlet was cooked perfectly and the Croffle was excellent, sweet but not too sweet. The house drip coffee was excellent as well. Great place to go!

This has been my go-to café in downtown San Mateo for years. I come here all the time — for casual breakfasts, coffee meetings, afternoon tea, and meeting new friends. It never disappoints. Coffee is consistently good. The turmeric latte is perfect during seasonal transitions, and their signature Yema Latte and Cuban coffee are always solid. Food-wise, I usually go for the spinach and mushroom quiche or the tomato basil quiche — simple, fluffy, and comforting. Desserts are great too. The chocolate coffee tart is a standout (rich and chocolaty with pistachio flakes), and the passion fruit tart

Very yummy breakfast/brunch place. They have pretty good coffee too. We order the Cortada and the red velvet latte. Both were great. Their food also tasted great. The eggs Benedict were especially yummy. We like that they have real food display for ordering but dislike that there’s no price on the food until they ring it up.

I went to this place with my friend for brunch and had a great experience. They had a large selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, crepes and multiple vegan options. My friend had the all day breakfast tray (loved it) I had the quinoa, oat and fruit bowl. Everything was tasty and fresh. Good coffee and tea. They have free pup cups and they are dog friendly - outdoor seating available.
