    I’m sorry I didn’t get our server’s name but he was the best! Answered all my questions and dealt with all our special requests, even when I changed my mind after ordering initially. The place was less busy than the other restaurant 2 doors down which we appreciated so we could catch up talking. Very nice. Thanks so much for a wonderful brunch experience. Next time - James Beard Pancakes!!

    The food, service and ambiance were all excellent. A staff member came by to chat a couple of times and when I said I would have liked it if my cauliflower dish had been a bit spicier, he suggested that next time, we should mention such preferences. We would go there again.

    Another great evening at Village Bakery! The service is always so good, our meal was amazing and the ambience so warm and cosy as we sat by the fireplace on the back patio. The crab cakes were delicious and the spinach/brussel sprout salad is always a favorite for us!

    We had the pleasure of celebrating our anniversary at The Village Bakery & Café in Woodside, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From start to finish, everything was top-notch—the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I ordered the pizza on a gluten-free crust, and it was excellent. They also made the avocado toast for me on a gluten-free bun, which was equally delicious. The restaurant was incredibly accommodating to dietary preferences, offering a variety of gluten-free and vegetarian options without any hassle. The service was fantastic. The staff treated us so well, making sure we had everything we needed and checking in at just the right moments. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. We were there with friends, and the environment was perfect for a celebration—relaxed yet lively, with plenty of space to talk and enjoy the evening. I highly recommend The Village Bakery & Café for a date night, a special occasion, or just a great meal out. We had such a great time, and I will definitely be going back!

    Dinner menu is much better than the brunch. Chopped caesar salad with shrimp was just okay. Excess dressing and small shrimp were overpriced.
