What customers say

Rick’s has been in Los Altos for many years. I was actually surprised why I haven’t tried them earlier. From the outside Rick’s look like a hole in a wall. But when I go inside, I was surprised how spacious it is. Very high ceiling and the hall runs to the other end of the building. About the food.

Great place to grab a quick brunch in downtown Los Altos. The restaurant has a giant coffee roaster near the entrance and is very spacious. Has extensive list of menus and staff was helpful in recommending his favorite, which turned out to be a grand slam delicious dish!

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.

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).
