Flames Coffee Shop

I used to go to this place once in a while and found it great for breakfast large portions of good hot basic breakfast foods Then I started working in the area and we would go there for lunch I found the lunch and dinner entrees very mediocre and the service leaves a lot to be desired I think I have had enough of this place Good-by more

My fiancee and I have been to Flames Coffee Shop on Winchester, and the location in Milpitas. We've enjoyed good food, and reasonably acceptable service - until tonight. Pros: Wonderful breakfast items, and especially yummy desserts Cons: Blatant discrimination against Asains, handicapped people, or interracial couples more

Great place to EAT. Best service! Nice people. Family owned so you get family great service. Sick of all the trendy little plates that give you no food. You get what you order here and its great. And its great for large groups.... more

If you want a solid meal at a reasonable price, Flames is a good place to eat. The portions are satisfying, the dishes are carefully prepared, the service is great. But note that the recipes are, well, uninspired. If you order something with mixed veggies, you'll get the inevitable mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc; conspicuously fresh, and steamed just the right amount of time. But that's it -- there's nothing memorable about it. * * * I need to go to a place like Flames once in a while, for an old-fashioned feed. Now that all the non-ethnic M&P places have disappared, and chains like Baker's Square have given up on decent food, there aren't a lot of choices. I do wish the food came with just a little bit of imagination. more

Excellent 4-egg omelettes from a wide selection. Crispy hash-browns. Generous portions, which two adults can split. Service was excellent, with plenty of coffee and tea refills. Amazing cake selection from the bakery. (2002 December) Pros: Excellent food, Generous portions, Excellent service Cons: Not for dieters more
