Bajis Cafe

I stopped by this place for breakfast and coffee on a Friday morning, around January 1st or 2nd. Since it was early in the year and around 7:30 a.m., the place was pretty quiet, with only a few tables occupied, and I didn’t have to wait at all. The service was good, and I ordered a very simple, classic breakfast along with coffee. The coffee was actually quite good — bottomless and refillable, though I was fine with just one cup. They served milk on the side so you could add as much as you liked. The table was stocked with hot sauce and other basic condiments. The food arrived hot and freshly prepared. The sunny-side-up eggs were straightforward and well done. The toast, already buttered with salted butter, was crunchy and tasty. The real standout, though, was the breakfast potatoes — freshly cooked, well-seasoned, crispy, and not overdone. Honestly, perfect breakfast potatoes.

This restaurant has been in my neighborhood for the longest time, their food is tasty and can say the portions are generous, service has been great every time I’ve been there. However, I know lately prices have been going up but I ended up paying over $50 for some scrambled eggs with chorizo and hashbrowns, and 2 orange juice glasses, and 18% tip When I often pay around 25 to 28 for a meal including tip, almost double, it definitely hurt. So, though I would come back, it will likely be like a once or twice a year kind of thing.

Came here with a group for brunch. I had a chicken Caesar salad which was just okay. My husband got a BLT. Fries were fine. Breakfast and eggs are probably the best thing to get here and overall solid diner food.

Excellent service, happy smiley young waitress took my breakfast order for one. Excellent chicken fried steak, perfect eggs and sourdough toast. Easy parking. As I entered I saw 4 police officers leaving after they ate. A really good sign if the local police frequent the restaurant, they know good food. Also, lots of locals saying hi to the cooks. Great locals vibe, clean interior, and great food.

It's ok, for the price we expected a bit more. Especially the extra $3.25 to add avocado and there was less than a tablespoon added to the dish. It was just a bit disappointing Also the waffle was not crispy and I would have liked it to be Also the eggs tasted a bit cheap, for california I was expecting a bit higher quality eggs than what is probably just the cheapest cage-free The toast was actually the tastiest thing

Horrible. Ordered a Medium Ribeye, but instead got a way over seasoned & over cooked chewy round or chuck steak. Baji's uses be good, but their food quality has gone way down. Server was nice, not his fault.

We ordered pancakes (2 stack) with strawberries & chocolate stuffed in it. They were delicious and really big portions. Vegetarian Omelette was also a huge portion with hash brown and a lot of toast. The food was delicious and the service was excellent!! The ambience was nice and just like a breakfast place should be. Their shake was also yummy and their coffee was one of the good ones I’ve had.

Awesome place for breakfast and lunch I asked them to make a southern version of eggs Benedict with fried chicken, country crazy and some Sriracha honey. It was simply delectable. My wife had waffles and an egg. The staff was awesome as always. Omar is always super Took a friend there who never knew of Baji's before. He thought it was an Indian restaurant but he name but was very pleasantly surprised by the breakfast he had. Prices have gone up but so have the portions. Great value for the money

Warmly greeted and offered us to sit anywhere we like. I found this cozy place when our golf group came here before a tournament. (They can accommodate larger groups in their side room.) So, I knew the service was good, because they knew to get us in-and-out quickly without us even having to ask. Today, I had more time for a leisurely breakfast, so I ordered the Egg Sandwich with Linguica with a side of One Waffle and a bottomless cup of coffee. (I remember I got French Toast last time, but it was not very filling for the price.) The breakfast sandwich was very good, especially the linguica, as were the potatoes, but the waffle was a tad burnt -- almost enough to want to send it back. But, I decided to try it anyway. Our server was awesome: friendly, attentive, and very pleasant. A decent sized parking lot surrounds the restaurant. Fair pricing, as well. I will definitely come back to give them another crack at that waffle.

I gave my friend a few breakfast options, and they chose Baji's since neither of us had been there before. We arrived right when they opened and were greeted immediately, which was a great start. We even got to pick our table, which was a nice touch. By the time we left, the place had definitely filled up. The service was great, the food was spot on, and my mimosa was both super cute and delicious -- also the only thing I remembered to take a photo of. The restaurant is fairly new and sits on the corner of a busy street, but there's a parking lot with plenty of spaces, which makes it easy. Overall, a really enjoyable breakfast, and I'd definitely return.

I order here from Doordash and it's great to have what I consider to be "good, solid diner food" available for delivery. I've ordered both breakfast and lunch and everything is solid. One huge complaint: please let people send you preference in DoorDash. Example: I love chicken salad sandwiches but I need them on toast. You have no toast option in the list and you've blocked use of the catch-all preferences field, so I can't just say, "toast it, please." I can find other examples, but there are Iiterally ten items I won't order from you because a little flexiblity makes a big difference.

Cute little cafe. A bit expensive for breakfast items specially if you get the eggs plate. Husband got the eggs your eay (over medium) which came with potatoes and toast. It was quite small and he added a side of 2 eggs ($8.5 or 2 eggs) making his dish total more than $23! For eggs and toast! I got the eggplantsandwich ($18) whoch was super tasty and would eat that again. It came with yummy fries.

This is a very popular weekend spot. While there was no line, it was definitely crowded. It is a relatively small restaurant, having both indoor and outdoor seating. The walls are decorated with sports items. It was nice having a TV nearby so I would watch a sporting event while dining. Service was first rate and attentive. Iced teas and sodas are served in a large, retro style Coca-Cola tumbler. I would recommend they provide longer straws, however. The standard ones they have are a bit too short. I was craving Chicken & Waffles, so I did not bother looking at the menu. My order came out relatively quick and looked great! Do note that the "honey" in the order comes in those quick/to-go packets. It is your basic fare as opposed to something special or artisan. The waffle itself was crispy on the outside, a bit cakey on the inside. The 2 pieces of fried chicken were moist on the inside. I could not, however, discern any brining to enhance its flavor. Overall, it was a solid dish for just $19. I would say this is a good place to visit. I would probably lean towards ordering an omelette/skillet dish in the future, though.

Standard breakfast and brunch items. Cute diner with outdoor patio that is dog friendly. Courteous wait staff. For outdoor dining, I like enclosed patios that have wind and overhead protection, especially during cold weather. Now that it's getting chilly, I can appreciate their patio dining when I bring my beloved pets.

Standard diner with all day breakfast available. Came by while waiting for my car maintenance for a quick bite. Service was nice and fast, food came out hot and delicious. Everything was decent. Less food than expected and we finished our meal with no leftovers.

My boyfriend and I were craving the standard American breakfast at a diner. We found Bajis Cafe on Yelp, and decided to check it out. Spacious diner with a lot of sports decor, and it had a very warm vibe. Service was quick and fast. I ordered the 2 pancakes 2 eggs breakfast with sausage links, and he ordered a skillet. Food came out fast, and it was super good. Inexpensive compared to a majority of other places in this area, and free refills on coffee. Will definitely be back!

Located along Middlefield near 101, parking spots are few but available. There's a good amount of seating indoors. I also liked that they had a ventilated outdoor seating area too. Bajis Signature Omelette (5/5): so yummy. Each bite was well rationed with the ingredients being used. The bell peppers were crunchy and really added an extra layer to the texture. The flavor was just right. It wasn't overwhelmingly salty nor under salted. The hash browns were amazingly crispy. Service was great. The staff did an excellent job making sure we didn't need anything. Overall, Bajis Cafe is an awesome breakfast/brunch place. Food is phenomenal with top tier customer service.

Went bike riding and passed this place and a couple of days ago, so I decided to try it. The place is really nice with sports memorabilia, even though I only saw one warriors pic of Joe Smith. My daughter and myself had the meat lovers skillet which comes with a side of toast or pancake/waffle. My daughter got the pancake and I got the waffle. The skillet was delicious, but the waffle and pancake was very rubbery and disappointing. Overall great restaurant and the staff was very friendly.

A nice, friendly, solid American Style diner. I had the biscuits and gravy and some hash browns. The biscuits were cooked well, soft on the inside with a nice firm top/bottom. The gravy was just a simple white gravy with some sausage bits. I found it to be a little under seasoned (which I fixed with some salt and pepper at the table) and it was okay. Not the most amazing biscuits and gravy I've ever had but a some 3 star and I would eat again if in the area. The hash browns were mid and just okay. Nothing special but nothing horrifying either. The staff working there were super friendly and quick and were overall great!

Best orange juice 10/10 would definitely recommend. The chicken was perfectly crispy and cooked amazingly. The waffles were perfectly fluffy and crunchy. Eggs were also great. Highly recommend Bajis Cafe.

Stopped here on our way to Gilroy from SFO airport after arriving on a morning flight. While I am not a breakfast person and usually order pancakes everywhere I go, I had an California omelette with hash browns and pancakes. Daughter had chilaquiles. Would come back if in the area.

We miss Baji! The prices are outrageous($18.50 for a fair looking and tasting omelette and $14.50 for the hash seen here). No senior breakfast for my folks Soooooo disappointed in the food, prices and service! The restaurant upgrades are nice, but that's about it. If you think you will be eating at the Baji's of the old days here at this location or at Bergman's, you will be very disappointed. Maybe change the name?? I think Baji would be embarrassed.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this little diner. Went to breakfast and had a great time. The food was tasty and the service was great. The people working there tagged team the tables and made sure everyone had what they needed. They checked on us as they walked by to make sure we were good. The scene is a little dated, but it's expected for a diner. Not a bad place to grab some breakfast and chill with friends.

Great place to have a breakfast. Wonderful service, plenty of food. Fresh and flavorful.

the food was extremely disappointing. I ordered the chicken & waffle, and it was one of the worst versions I've ever had. The chicken was full of bones, dry and tough completely inedible. The hash browns were also dry, hard, and lacked any flavor. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation, this experience was a huge letdown. I expected much better.

Had the pleasure to try this place after touring the Google Visitor Experience Cafe! It's about a 6 minute drive from there. Lots of parking spots. We arrived around 12:30 pm and we were sat immediately. Not that many people at first, but it was packed when we left. A homey intimate diner with personality and class. There was a miscommunication with my order because I ordered the chicken fried steak entree but my waiter interpreted it as the side order. Not much a problem but I waited about 10 more minutes until my full order was fulfilled with the accompanying sides of French roll, cole slaw, and French fries. It was very filling that's for sure. The gravy on the steak wasn't gritty but had a smooth texture and creamy savory taste that made the meat easier to chew on and enhanced the flavor. The cole slaw was okay since I wished it had more seasoning. The French fries were a bit dry so I had to season it with lots of salt and pepper. The French roll was toasted to perfection with a good amount of butter on top. Great brunch/breakfast spot in Mountain View!

We hadn't been here in awhile, had come more often pre-pandemic. Prices are high like I remembered, which is a little odd for a diner in that part of town. I do like my loma verde omelet ($20 with hash browns and toast), and my companions liked their scramble and chocolate chip pancakes. The pancake tasted just 'ok' to me. Bacon costs extra. My first cup of coffee was about 2/3 full and I had to request a second cup. They never offered a refill of that. What happened to roaming servers with coffee pots in hand? My husband wanted to come here but I prefer other places in our rotation.

Great food - loved the amount of options available. Fast and cordial service. It has a nice American - football vibe, great for brunch. Only downside is that the items are pricey.

Been going here since I was little kid and always had great service and the food is good as well

Prepandemic 100x between this place, Hobees, Black Bear Diner, Broiler Express, all for the quintessential breakfast meeting or brunch w/friends. Those days are now gone. Post pandemic there was less need for this and with remote teams and awful traffic the pre workday in face meeting is kaput. Veggie omelet with meat removed, health nut option, removed cheese and added avocado. 5$ unlimited refill coffee. 40$/pp after tax and tip. Post pandemic cooking skills improved, we have brunch at home with higher grade ingredients for omelets, cream+fresh fruit waffles, fresh baked bread, fresh butter made from costco cream. The quality is 10x better. The cost difference between what can be made at home is too large to justify. The exact impact of this is we take the same $ and allocate them to dimsum or dosa breakfasts at UlavacharU instead. Declining appeal for a 40$ American style egg breakfast with unlimited coffee.

Food was good. Spicy salsa was definitely spicy. Nice snd clean establishment with friendly staff.

As we walked in, the ambience is very simple and yet also unique and inviting. Service was immediate and friendly. They took care of all of our needs while here. The menu will take you some time to get through as there are many amazing offerings. The breakfast items we got were fantastic. I got number 12, which is basically everything but the kitchen sink scramble that the chef chooses the ingredients for. You should definitely try that. Also, they allow any reasonable additions and changes like a pancake instead of toast, salad instead of potatoes, etc. A great choice if you'd like to find the best breakfast places in the Bay Area.

I had a solid diner/cafe experience at Baki's. We were seated quickly and brought drinks right away. Me and my dining companion were catching up and not looking at the menu. The server was patient and checked back with us to take our order. I appreciated that. I ordered the jalapeño cheese burger and my friend ordered the club sandwich. The club sandwich was huge. My burger was flavorful. The jalapeños were freshly grilled and had a nice char on them but still had some texture. Good spicy taste. The fries were crispy and very good. I had a good experience at Bajis. If I am near Mountain View, I would seek out Bajis for a good diner style lunch.

Pro-tip: You can order online and there's no upcharge. Highlights: Wide variety of items on the menu and the service was friendly. Lowlights: I thought the food was overpriced for what you get and the dish I ordered was very bland and underwhelming.

i've been coming here ever since the onset of the pandemic in 2020, this place provided lots of outdoor seating, making it super easy to socially distance from my eating buddies. even after the height of the pandemic was over, i continued coming here for the great service and food. did i mention they have a TON of seating inside too? even though they offer breakfast and lunch, i ONLY come for breakfast/brunch b/c i just love my eggs, toast, pancakes and biscuits. this is actually one of the few breakfast joints that offers a fluffy homemade biscuit, since most other cafe's just offer toast and potatoes. my gotos are either the sierra vista vegetarian or vegetarian delight omelette, since these are filled with tons of veggies and flavour! note that you can order these as either omelette, scramble or in a wrap...so choose your own adventure! for my 2 sides, i usually pick biscuit and fruit or toast and fruit. service is always very prompt and accurate, even on the busiest of days, i've never had to wait very long for my food to arrive...and always hot and fresh! there's usually a good amount of parking just outside, though some of the spaces are a little tight. easy access to 101 freeway from either rengstorff or san antonio.

This place is really hopping on the weekend! Fortunately there is adequate parking and quite a bit of seating. Poached egg on toast: 4/5. I wanted something lighter and this was just right.

Ordered takeout delivery -- Biscuits, Gravy & Eggs. The food was OK, but not tasty. My notes were missed when I requested NOT to put the gravy on the biscuits, since I was going to put jelly on it which I requested and got with my order.

Standard diner fare on old middlefield road nestled between auto repair shops. Coffee is good but the food is greasy. The biscuit was old, dry, and tasted so bland. The eggs were way over cooked and the omelette was hard like a quiche. For the price point it's not worth it.

Cute and friendly diner with usual American and Mexican breakfast items. We enjoyed their waffle + fried chicken dish and an omelette with kielbasa. The waffles and fried chicken were very good. The waffles were buttery and sweet, and definitely the breakfast highlight. The fried chicken was a nice addition, though felt that the amount of chicken was not substantial for the price. The omelette with kielbasa was overall okay. I wish there were a bit more flavor. Dog friendly.

Had breakfast there a couple of weeks ago after looong break (late 90s). It was my favorite breakfast joint in Mt. View. And, it still is. Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out and Baji's is one of the reasons why. Great food, excellent service and the place is so friendly. Thank goodness they are still up & running. I made a pledge to add them back into my breakfast rotation.

Holy Cannoli! This place is such a delight. First and foremost, the hospitality is out of this world. Upon entering, I was immediately welcomed as if I reunited with my family. Every waiter and waitress has such a hospitable and amicable presence. I looked forward to the meal and oh yes, they delivered. The Funhouse Hangover skillet with a pancake was sooooo flavorful. It satisfied two people's appetites with a great combination of chorizo, bacon, and peppers. Not to mention the pancake was so fluffy and delicious. Amazing deal, amazing food, and amazing service. I have my new go-to brunch spot in the Bay Area, and I'm bringing all my family and friends to Baji's Cafe!

Good food and service. On the expensive side for a plain breakfast, but worth trying.

Just got to town yesterday & wanted to go somewhere with my pup. Found this place which is walking distance from my new place! They have an enclosed patio so I could bring my dog but not be freezing. I had a Bloody Mary and the signature scramble which had just about everything in it. Added some hot sauce & it was delicious! My server Edgar* was great, everything was served in a timely manner and I was in and out in under an hour. Will definitely be coming back here since it's so close to me!!

Awesome place, from the image you can tell I was devouring this deliciousness of a meal, I love that they were able to give me some spicy sauce upon request, *mild is boring* first bloody marry came with celery the second one I ordered with bacon, and they even gave me a bigger cup, great place, specially for the bilingual public, waiter will keep the conversation going and keep you smiling. Very attentive. I'm for sure going to save this location gas my favorites whenever I'm around. Thank You All!!

We've only had takeout from Bajis but it was a fine experience. We ordered takeout and my sister picked up our order. Only after she arrived home did we realize the order was incorrect. However Bajis was great at correcting the mistake and offered to make us the correct order while letting us keep the original order as well. Just required a trip back to Bajis to pick up the correct order which was slightly annoying but not much else we could have done. The food was great, even when a little cold (after the whole mixup) it tasted great. We weren't able to finish since we got extra food so even reheated it held up fine!

A decent place to get breakfast/brunch. Few tvs and a patio. I had the charleston way which had ground beef, spinach, onion, jack cheese in a scramble. The portion was a bit small for the price but it wasn't too bad. This came with hashbrowns and toast. I wouldn't rush back but the service was friendly. Lots of parking in their lot.

Every time we are at san jose, we have to go to this restaurant, very good food and good service

My all time favorite place for breakfast burritos! Never disappointed in anything I order! can't wait to explore more of the menu!

My friend George knows the owner Tamer. We get the county fried steak breakfast, with eggs and hash browns. The food is amazing and fresh. Amazing how it holds up coming from Mountain View to San Francisco. We got it for the NFC Championship and will get it for The Superbowl!!!! Kind of superstitious so I'm getting the same thing but, next time will try something different. Can't wait to try lunch menu!

A warm and friendly restaurant. We have need here many times. I like the breakfast burrito. It is delicious. Make your own omelet is my child's favorite. There many varieties of food. Anyone can pick what they want.

I've had better experiences at Bajis in the past than this last visit. Not crowded at all for breakfast but service was lackluster at best. Took a while for food to arrive and then no one checked on me the rest of the meal. Couldn't get anyone's attention to get a refill on my coffee. Took forever to flag someone down for the check. Food was OK but the service really spoiled this visit.

Been here a couple times now since it's conveniently near the Costco we go to. Very typical breakfast place - hash browns are hit or miss (sometimes over fried). The star of the meal for me is always the pancake! Get it!! We typically just get one on the side and it's the perfect way to need the meal! Perfectly fluffy and chewy, would come just for coffee and pancakes!

What a pleasant surprise which! I took my car to Magnussen Toyota for my 5k service and decided to walk around vs wait. Sadly, klutz that I am, I tripped and fell within the first two blocks. This prompted me to change plans and find a place to sit and have breakfast. Baki's was across the street and looked crowded and inviting. I checked the reviews and photos and decided to give it a go. Breakfast is my favorite meal! I rarely eat out as it's usually I'm usually disappointed by the food. NOT HERE! OMG, the pancakes are fluffy, the bacon is superb, eggs cooked perfectly, and coffee is strong. Just found my new favorite breakfast spot. Forgot to mention the service. As I mentioned, I fell and didn't come away unscathed. The server was so nice and brought me not one but two bandages. Can't wait to bring the fam!

Been going here for years. Great breakfast, service. Always consistent. Used to be very reasonably priced... no longer. Basic breakfast, eggs, potatoes, sausage, toast, coffee, orange juice, around $40. Unfortunately all my favorite breakfast places are about the same now. So, no more. What's with "bottomless coffee"? In my entire life I've never been to a breakfast place that didn't refill your cup.

Really disappointing experience here, I am truly baffled by all the good reviews. The food was very mediocre, flavors were very basic and boring. Each dish really lacked attention to detail that would make the food much better. For example the hamburger patty was clearly not fresh, it was cooked from frozen. Hamburger bun wasn't toasted so it was soggy. Fries were unsalted and lacked flavor. Toast came out unbuttered. The coffee was not good, it tasted burned. The hostess who sat our party was nice and welcoming but no one checked on us after seating us, we had to flag down people who were busy doing other things any time we needed something. So the service left a lot to be desired as well. The prices are what annoyed me the most. They are quite high for basic diner food. I like to support local businesses and am happy to pay for good food and good service, but here we got neither. I really wanted to like this place but I can't recommend it.

All I can say is people if you enjoy breakfast and a hardy meal this is the place service is at a all time outstanding friendly atmosphere the food is always fresh cooked to perfection the pancakes are always a hit overall YOU HAVE TO TRY !!!! The food speaks for itself and the people cooking it can back it up...

If you've grown up with diners all your life, then this one will make you feel right at home. I have ordered brunch multiple times from this place pre-and post Covid. The food quality and portions have never changed and the efficiency and speed at which they sling food can't be beat. Their egg plates are really good including the scrambles and their entire Mexican eggs section. I have had their huevos rancheros multiple times as well as their kitchen sink scramble. Both of those dishes left me very satisfied and full. I recently also tried their buckwheat pancakes which were light and fluffy. They offer pancakes in two or three stacks which is great for me because I get to order a two stack and hotlink - the perfect amount of brunch food on a weekend. Consider me a Baji's regular!
