The Village Bakery 3052 Woodside Road, Woodside, CA 94062

"We stopped into the sit down restaurant section of village bakery and had a lunch with an old friend. The menu was a pretty good selection of standards, both American and other cuisines. One person in the party had chilaquiles which looked really good. Converter is very big and quite a bit juicy so eating with your hands requires getting a little bit messy. The fried chicken sandwich was equally as good and messy. The staff were nice and the interiors were clean and updated, if a little bit sterile. But they had a nice art collection which I had a chance to view while I waited for the restroom."

"The trail mix and almond joy power balls were delicious, but their doughnut bath bombs were concerning. They looked so tasty. Why make cleaning products look delicious? That'd be like if Tide starting making laundry detergent pods that looked like pizza pockets. I don't think its necessary to make things that aren't edible, look edible. It's the same reason I'm not a fan of delicious looking dog treats. It's not like dogs care what their treats look like, they are mostly colored blind and have poor vision. I can definitely see myself accidentally taking a bite out of some bath bombs and dog treats if they continue looking like this. Anyway, I enjoyed the power balls and I hope that anyone who gets the doughnut bath bombs doesn't leave it around their kids or hungry adults."

"Food quality is above average same as price. They require 20% tips up front and plus a small percentage as mandate fee. Service it’s good. Back patio seating area it’s warm and comfortable as well. Great place for a lunch getaway."

"They have a nice outdoor seating area. We had the Bombolini, Canada breakfast and James Beard pancakes which were all very tasty. The service was good too!"

"Great restaurant in Woodside. Nice outdoor seating, great wine list, consistently good food. I’ve eaten here several times and it’s always been a lovely experience. The Caesar Salad is huge- we split it and I still couldn’t finish it. It was a bit generous on the dressing. Two of us had the salmon which was perfect. Two of us tried the lasagna which was a new menu item and they were having issues with it - it came out cold, and they did reheat it but because it was a huge slice, it was still not very hot in the middle. Despite that the flavor was delicious- they need to get the kinks out of that one. They brought us a plate of fries to tie us over which was very nice. The desserts were delicious- the peach pie had a flaky crust, fresh peaches and wasn’t too sweet. The chocolate chip cookie was worth getting too full for. And the dark chocolate cake was rich and moist. The wait staff was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive."
