Cafe Borrone patio and the brick fountain arch in downtown Menlo Park
Because Europe is too far…

Family owned & operated since 1979. Our entire menu is crafted by hand with the highest quality local, organic ingredients — served on the sunniest patio on El Camino Real.

Est. 1979 · Menlo Park, CA

Family Owned & Operated
Since ’79

What started as Roy & Rose Borrone’s small dream on Broadway Street in Redwood City has grown into a Menlo Park institution — one with, as regulars like to say, its own heartbeat.

What We Believe

Everything, made by hand

Crafted in the Kitchen

Everything — from the pastries to the pastas — is made from scratch, every single day.

Fresh Ingredients

We use organic, local, sustainable, raw ingredients from a wide range of farms we work with regularly.
