Breakfast is awesome here. The menu was filled with so many choices, it was difficult to decide. My guests ordered omelettes, skillets, and pancakes. The breakfast items were fantastic. The blueberry pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I had ever seen. It was a large stack of three pancakes with a side of blueberry sauce. The omelettes and skillets are awesome. The side of bacon came with four slices of bacon but the taste was a little flat. I ordered the "philly steak" with french fries and salad. Unfortunately, their version of the philly cheesesteak probably needs some help. The salad was a little disappointing, but the vinaigrette was delicious. The fries were good. I ordered a guava mimosa. It was a little on the sweet side for me, but overall not bad. The service was quick and attentive. Overall, I would come back for breakfast again.

Absolutely loved Rick's cafe for breakfast. Went more than once whilst I was visiting my sister. My husband had the Mexican skillet which was yum with perfectly poached eggs. My standard order was the chocolate and strawberry crepes! Delicious with just the right amount of chocolate, strawberries and whipped cream. The crepes are thin and light too. What more can you ask for? Would definitely recommend.

One of the best brunch place in bay area. French toast was so soft with right amount of sweetness, not too overpowering. White bread toasted yo perfection. Hashbrown were quite unique with parsley. Scrambled eggs were so soft. Got the basics tight very well.

I had the crepes and plain pancakes and they were delicious!!! Massive variety of breakfast dishes. I haven’t seen such variety in one menu anywhere in the world which I loved as I enjoy breakfast. Only down side was the waiting times. 1 hour to be seated and around 45’ to be served (ps it was Mother’s Day).

The staff here are nice. They have outdoor seating. I've been getting their ultimate lumberjack every time I visit. It's a huge pancake with wheat germs, blueberries, banana, nut, served with syrup and a side of blueberry compote. It's a unique dish. They have all the standard diner egg dishes. Their coffee is probably one of the worst things on the menu. One the few breakfast places in town.

Every time I come here I have lovely food and service. Feels clean and I enjoy the outdoor sitting area. It's easy to book a table too.

I've been coming to Rick's for years & they are always consistently good. I love their pancakes & smoothies, but honestly all of the food is really good here. Definitely one of my favorite places in downtown Los Altos.

This gets decent ratings so maybe I just had an off experience. I ordered the crab meat Benedict and it was inedible. it tasted sour and really over the top fishy. I had to send it back. (never done that before) to their credit they brought me another dish just two eggs over easy with toast and that was fine :) The coffee was really good.
