Looking for a tasty serving of eggs and toast? Or a bit more? Hoping our trials can help avoid your errors! My husband and I eat breakfast out each Thursday, our day off. We have moved to Salisbury from London, so now head out by foot into town or by car into the Wiltshire coutryside on the hunt for a Cafe (pronounced "caff"). We share our collected experiences, and keep you up to date with the new venues we discover each week. Here goes...

Pre-wedding rendezvous with the rellies at the Fiero Cafe in San Mateo, California


Breakfast in Britain goes to California! The old Rendezvous Cafe re-born as Fiero Cafe sits on El Camino Real in the heart of San Mateo. Clean, quiet and free wifi. Upscale and up-price, but great location for an easy walk from the rellies.
The Rendezvous closed unexpectedly in April 2015.  It has opened under new ownership and a new name. Filipo, the proprietor, chats cheerily and proudly as we admire his efforts at revamping the joint.

The cafe remains retro, but the grime has been scrubbed away and the interior sparkles with newly painted walls and shiny counters.

Food options (and prices) are shi-shi -- no eggs and toast in this world. Rather we order crescents with scrambled eggs and bacon.  I request that each item be laid side by side rather than built into a sandwich.  Tasty.  Happy son-in law enjoys a hearty omelette. 
Another enjoyable breakfast on the road -- a pleasant rendezvous with the rellies pre-wedding.
