Borrone Marketbar - Menlo Park

Borrone’s is a popular coffee shop that anyone who grew up on the peninsula has likely visited at least once. It features plenty of outdoor seating and a good number of tables indoors. Conveniently located on El Camino, it sits directly between Kepler's bookshop and the BBC Pub. The café offers a solid menu that includes all the typical coffee and tea options, Italian sodas, as well as various food specialties that seem to rotate each time I visit. I sampled a few of the sandwiches, and they were quite tasty. They also boast some tempting desserts. This is a lovely spot to catch up with friends for a few hours. While many students come to study, I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re seeking a quiet study atmosphere. It’s probably the busiest café in Menlo Park, making it a lively place to people-watch. Another bonus is that the staff is usually quite attractive.

Fantastic spot for grabbing a sandwich during lunch!
