I love this place for the apple pancakes but wish every day since it opened that they would add some carpets or insulation to absorb some of the raucous noise.

Rei Alexandra Aoyama

I like their egg dishes , hash brown , and pancake . Potato pancakes are also good.

Every parent in Los Altos who doesn't control their screaming monster comes here on Sunday morning .

This place might get crazy on the weekends but the breakfast is great! I love the spinach omelette ! Try stopping in mid-week when it's slower.

Many samples of pancakes . Enjoyed the blueberry pancakes . Might have to get the bacon pancakes next time.

Their blueberry pancakes are delicious! The chicken crepe is also very unique.

Arturo Garrido

It used to be a good choice for pancakes and omelettes but food is terrible now.

Dutchbaby!!!!!!!

Tony Larsen

Excellent breakfast !

Raymond Peck

Not the best food or presentation but a lot of decent options. Pancakes were pretty good, poached eggs were okay.

Winda Oktavia

Tahitian crepes is the bomb! Love it...

Jennifer Stuart

Try the 49ers. Thin creamy pancake goodness

Venkatesh Hodavdekar

Overall, really poor. You're better off making eggs at home instead. Stay away!

Krys Blackwood

Come hungry, because the portions are ginormous.

Doug Baer

Park in the lot off Lyell...

Elizabeth Fuller

Seriously...get the apple pancakes .

Micah Alcorn

Service was horrendous, staff was rude. Food was consistent with previous OPH experiences, but I will avoid this place like the plague.

Ron Adams

Overpriced and not great quality. Terrible service. Smelly too.
