★★★★☆ 4.0 Connie C · Oct 2025

Nice ambiance but food is pretty overpriced for the portion and taste. The shrimp congee was a highlight. The benedicts were regular. The crispy kale was a good idea but super greasy. We sat on the patio which was nice to hangout with friends on a good day.

Don't waste your time, money, and patience on this place. Terrible. Everything. Food, service, table. Ok, for starters, our table was kind of sticky. Nbd stuff happens. But everything else just exacerbated this point. We finally got to order after we were seated for a long time and it took well over fourty minutes to get our food. This wouldn't be an issue but there were only three other tables seated. This again, wouldn't be the most unforgivable thing in the world but 1 of our dishes was warm and the other was actually just cold and the other two seems freshly made. But like cold potatoes. No one wants to eat that. I was so taken aback that I forgot to even take a pic of the dish but you can kind of see it in the corner of one of my pics. It seemed like our food was done much earlier and

This brunch spot is a delightful find, offering both style and substance. The food is a feast for the eyes, with beautifully designed dishes that look almost too good to eat. Fortunately, the flavors match the presentation—every bite is as satisfying as it is visually appealing. A standout feature is their kid-friendly menu, making it a great choice for families. It’s always a relief to find a place that caters to young diners without compromising on quality or creativity. The seating options are versatile, with both indoor and outdoor spaces available. Whether you prefer a cozy corner indoors or a breezy patio experience, this spot has you covered. One of the best parts? It’s not overly crowded. You can enjoy your meal in a relaxed atmosphere without feeling rushed or cramped, even dur

★★★☆☆ 3.0 ayush kalani · Jan 2025

Ideally I'd give this place a 3.5/5. Darla Cafe is a charming spot nestled in downtown Saratoga. We went for brunch on a weekend and found the place moderately busy with a lively atmosphere. I ordered the Thai tea, which was delicious and refreshing. I also tried the salmon Benedict, which was decent but not outstanding. The bread was a bit tough and chewy, and the Hollandaise sauce lacked the smooth, creamy consistency I was expecting. My friend ordered the crispy stuffed French toast and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was fast and attentive, which was a plus. Overall, Darla Cafe is a decent brunch spot to try if you are in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Matee · Jul 2024

Bright and airy brunch cafe in downtown Saratoga, with a newly launched evening Jazz supper club! Darla Cafe has been our go-to brunch place whenever we visit the South Bay since they opened in early 2023. The owners and service staff were always friendly, courteous, and fun. Their indoor decor is bright, modern, and elegant, with a beautiful outdoor enclosed patio built around a large oak tree. Their food is wonderfully unique, with a tasty mix of traditional and fusion flavors, like the Lobster Pad Thai with a whole lobster tail! Darla had earned their place on our brunch rotation, and now with the launch of their Jazz Supper Club, they are now a dinner destination for us as well! The live music, new cocktail menus, and the ambiance makes for an amazing evening for any occasion.
