Apple Fritter: Your Destination for Breakfast & Brunch Delights

Hear about this place on IG and went right to it. Got there around 12:30pm on a Sunday and the fritters were sold out. So I got a breakfast burrito and the sloppy Joe. I was told that I could pre-order the fritters for next day pick up and I obviously did. The place was packed so I got the food to go. The breakfast burrito was AMAZING and the sloppy Joe hit like it did in grade school. Went the next day to pick up the fritters and im glad I ordered them. Definitely a place where I wanna try ALL the food.

Got the Cheese steak with mushrooms and swiss cheese and a salad side. Decently filling delicious overall. The wait was a bit long to order for Sunday morning brunch, but they had plenty of seatings The atmosphere is also pretty nice

I’ve always loved this gem, though I don’t live nearby anymore, so visits are a bit less frequent. While my meal was delicious as always, I have to admit this particular trip fell short when it came to the donuts. The maple-filled bar was disappointingly dry with less filling than desired, and my pumpkin fritter didn’t quite deliver on flavor. While the fritter didn’t hit the mark as far as any stand out flavor, it wasn’t dry at all. I ordered the Spicy Hash w/hot link & the Brunchurrito w/chorizo & chipotle mayo. I ate the hash outside, it was exactly the heat I wanted. I brought the burrito home and ate it the next day, I prefer my burritos toasted so I pan fried it when I heated it thru.

First breakfast place I went to in Foster City! Got there right at 8am when they opened on Saturday and the line was already out the door, so I had to wait a little bit to put in my order. I got the breakfast combo with over easy eggs, bacon, sourdough toast, and upgraded to tater tots which was totally worth it! Also, got a couple donuts to go which were unique and delicious! My iced latte was perfect and not too sweet. Outdoor patio seating was nice too.

Relatively decent pricing for 2026, good ambience! Only drawback was my burrito probably needed another 30 seconds on the grill to heat up the cheese, a solid section of the burrito was just cold cheese. I probably don’t need to eat for the rest of the day though.

Apple Fritter is a lovely little restaurant serving delightful pastries and delicious hardy lunch options with flair. I loved their Old Fashioned doughnuts and was pleasantly surprised by their delicious Maple Bacon Bar pastry. The Truffle Burger and Garlic Parmesan Fries were amazing. The meat was juicy and seasoned well and the fries were crisp and full of flavor. The atmosphere is generally a busy one and parking is frequently difficult, with a small lot and frequent coming and goings of both patrons and food delivery services making their stops. The collections of toys and art on the walls frames an interesting environment and adds to the eclectic and intimate atmosphere. Music is gentle, agreeable, and features indi artists. Service is prompt, accurate and above all friendly and warm. Enjoy the unique art on each of the numbers as you wait. The greenery of both the inside and outside plants provides moments of respite and calm. Outdoor seating is generally more plentiful than that of indoors. There is generally a line to this culinary commune, but it is a well worthwhile wait to experience this cozy escape.

The breakfast burrito was a little on the pricey side, but overall I’d say it’s worth it. It’s super dense—felt like it weighed around three pounds—and came with a great variety of protein options, including vegetarian choices. I arrived around 9 AM and there wasn’t much of a wait at all. Portions are generous, flavors are solid, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. I’ll definitely be coming back.

What an interesting vibe. Apple fritter is an institution of Foster City. With the delicious food, to the obscure decorations like the Keanu Reeves cutout above the water. Everything here was so interesting. We ordered the banana fritter, which like any fritter was delicious the first few bites but then got too sweet too quick, however it did have the perfect texture. We also ordered the brunchurrito with chicken apple sausage, which was perfect, no notes. Everything here was great and it really is such an interesting vibe to sit in there and enjoy the morning.
