Fina's Cafe

First timer here and let me tell you this was the best bagel I've had in a million years! The seating area was extremely comfortable.

Best breakfast burritos in San Carlos, especially the chorizo one. Staff is friendly and helpful. A cute small cafe great for a quick breakfast or half an hour with a book.

On a chilly morning we decided to bundle up and hang out here again with our dog babies. Somehow this tiny neighborhood cafe has such a relaxing and homey vibes that makes us come back again and again. He always gets his breakfast burrito and I always get my favorite pastry here. Not sure what they call it but it's delicious, nutty inside and tons of flaxseeds on the top. They will wam it up for you. Nice warm and crispy. There are only two tables outside. We always sit there with our dogs. They have plenty of room sitting down and just chill. People are so nice and warm here. Great service.

Was in the area for a haircut (shout out to Minh's Hair Style a block down). Wanted to grab a bite to eat beforehand. Saw Fina's Cafe was open so thought I'd give it a try.Ordered a drip coffee and a chorizo breakfast burrito. And man, that breakfast burrito was seriously delicious. Piping hot, super fluffy potatoes (without feeling par-boiled if you know what I mean), chorizo with nice texture & flavor, fluffy scrambled eggs with softness and body (aka neither runny nor rubbery), and that tortilla! My goodness, that tortilla. It kept it all together without feeling too mushy and doughey, or on the other end, too brittle and crackling apart. It also seemed kinda butter-softened without feeling drenched or sopping in it. I'm telling you, something about that tortilla was on point, and it housed it all together, making the sum greater than its parts.You might be thinking, "It's just potatoes, egg, breakfast meat in a carbo-home. What's the big deal?" But go to CostCo or what not, get the same ingredients, and try to get to this place on your own. Try it! You might get 80% there if you're just a laymen like me who hopes to arrive at this very place haphazardly. But that other 20%? Yeah, Fina's knows what's up.

Hey, if you're in need of a low-key place to hang in San Carlos, this would be a good spot because it's open and really quiet in here. Frankly, if you're in San Carlos to begin with, you're probably as low-key as this place. Match made in caffeine heaven, right? I have to admit I came in here after devouring a large salad at The Toss down the block (review: http://bit.ly/2DA3kPA). So I was feeling full but rather low-key since all I had was a salad and no, it wasn't a taco salad. There were only two customers in here sometime after the lunch hour, but that didn't dampen the gregarious personality of the barista who shared the details of his upcoming vacation plans. I think I just said, "How's it goin'?" and ordered a $3 Medium House Coffee (photo: http://bit.ly/2y1LsHp). It was fine.COFFEE - 3 stars...satisfying enoughAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...did I mention its low-key?SERVICE - 3.5 stars...quite a social guyTOTAL - 3 stars...a chill spot in San CarlosRELATED - Need another cup of joe down the peninsula? Here's a list of place I've tried and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2DHtXSO

This is a fine place for a good cup of coffee. I would not recommend the food here. We came here for a low-key brunch, which was fine, but everything was pretty under-seasoned, and generally left a lot to be desired. Its very quiet, so if you're just in the neighborhood for some coffee and to chat, this is a great place to hang out.

Fresh and tasty food. We loved everything we ordered. Would recommend Breakfast Croissant, English Muffin Sandwich, Avocado Toast.

This is a great place I am enjoying a breakfast sandwich and coffee while listening to these women talk about stuff. I feel like I am learning something here. There's some great convo here, they have a warm demeanor. I'd let them watch my kids. The seating and ambience is great. I love the window seating

Stopped by for breakfast. Food and coffee both very good. Very pleasant surroundings. Will definitely be back.

Very pleasant and relaxing to eat inside the cafe. The breakfast burrito is really tasty! Happy to return in the future to support this lovely local spot.
