Crema's Take
“Farley's is an airport cafe in San Leandro that trades consistency for convenience—the coffee and avocado toast have genuine fans among travelers, but quality swings wildly depending on what you order and when, with croissants and pastries frequently arriving stale or poorly executed. The setup works against you too: the line funnels straight to the register, so you can't see the food cases before ordering, which compounds the hit-or-miss nature. If you're stuck with a long layover and want decent coffee and toast, it's a reasonable grab; otherwise, expect airport-tier inconsistency.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

4:17 pm … I ordered a croissant warmed up. How can you go wrong? Well… It did! The inside was cold and the whole thing tasted like a piece of dry bread. Definitely among the top three worst croissants I’ve ever eaten in my life. A serious waste of six dollars.
I’m surprised to see so many low reviews. I had a long layover and ate here twice. The peanut butter banana bread was delicious. For lunch I had avocado toast and an iced latte- both were also good. The staff was friendly and they worked hard to get orders out quickly. Next…
Peets is gone. In its place is Farely's Cafe between gate 22 and 23. The line goes directly to the register, bypassing the selection of food so you can't see what you might want to order. I ordered a bagel that felt like I was eating dried shaped gruel in a Siberia prison cell.…
