Here’s what Yelpers say –

“This place is a nightmare of heavenly delights for a person who is intent on sticking to a non sweets non butter diet….the scones, the croissants, the muffins…oh my!  And mostly, I am a savory person…so the fact that the sweets are so irresistible is amazing to me.” – Lisa R.

“My pick for BEST Brunch place in Palo Alto!
Ambiance – open, spacious & lively with friendly staff.  Also has an outdoor seating area.  Must Try’s are Homemade Fruit Poptarts (they are soo yummy!), Hot Cake with Maple Pecan Butter, and Bacon!!  Pretty much everything on the menu is yummy!   Great for casual stop ins (you can sit at the bar), family, and groups.  They use all locally grown ingredients and take pride in each item they make.  Totally recommend it to anyone looking for a great brunch experience!” -Claire C.

Learn about the Mayfield Bakery Story, in their words: “Bacchus Management Group, owners of several restaurants in the Bay Area, had a vision of an artisan bakery that could supply all of their restaurants with fresh-baked bread daily—a way to make their restaurants, which already includes an organic farm and a custom coffee roastery, an even more sustainable, self-sufficient entity. They found that spot in Palo Alto’s Town & Country Village, which came with the added bonus of a cafe next door to serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.”
