There’s something special about weekend brunch — it’s that perfect pause between a busy week and a fresh start. This Saturday, I met up with two friends at Sprout Café in Palo Alto, and what started as a casual get-together turned into a morning full of great food, cozy vibes, and laughter over plates we couldn’t stop raving about.
A Brunch Spread Worth Savoring
We decided to sample a mix of sweet and savory favorites, and Sprout Café did not disappoint. First came the Ube Waffle, a colorful twist that was as photogenic as it was delicious, followed by the perfectly golden French Toast that hit all the right notes of comfort food. For heartier bites, we went with the Chicken and Waffle — crispy on the outside, tender on the inside — and the Shakshuka, rich in flavor and packed with fresh ingredients.
No brunch is complete without drinks, and we went all in: a refreshing Thai Tea, a crisp Red Sangria, and a bubbly Mimosa to round things out. Every sip complemented the dishes perfectly, keeping our conversation flowing as easily as the drinks.
Atmosphere That Feels Like Home
Sprout Café has a way of making you feel instantly comfortable. The ambiance is cozy and friendly, with soft music playing today’s hits in the background, keeping the energy light but upbeat. The space is airy, bright, and clean, making it the kind of spot where you could just as easily linger with friends as pop in for a quick bite.
The staff deserves a special shoutout, too. Service was excellent from start to finish — attentive without being intrusive, and always with a smile.

What sets Sprout Café apart is its commitment to quality. Every dish is made to order with locally sourced ingredients, and you can taste the difference. The flavors are fresh, the portions generous, and there’s a sense of care in how each plate comes out.
