Burlingame: Copenhagen Bakery & Cafe; restaurant review

1216 Burlingame Ave./Lorton Ave., (650) 342-1357; B-L daily, D W-Sun; $. 

This combination Danish bakery and restaurant produces a sweet little six-grain loaf and a great sweet French bread as well as exquisite European-style pastries.

The extensive breakfast menu at Copenhagen Bakery & Cafe includes omelettes and pancakes as well as bacon and eggs and is served until 2:30 on weekends.  For lunch try a delicious German bologna on sweet French bread with a side of tasty potato salad and, of course, a dessert pastry.  Or get the Royal Lunch, a collection of far-from-dainty open-face sandwiches--each is an ice cream scoop of salad atop a tiny piece of pumpernickel.  Specialty coffee drinks and ice cream treats are also available.

Order at the counter, then find a seat in the cheery open dining rooms with sidewalk views—or out on the sidewalk itself. 
       
After, spend some time shopping the stores lining this avenue.
