Food Scene
This is a hot spot on weekends - there will be a line, but it moves pretty quickly. I recommend checking it out on a weekday. They also have great burgers and shakes for an afternoon treat. My favorite is there bird's nest breakfast.

The Millbrae station is a conjoined station with the Caltrain + BART. I will typically park at this station to get downtown SF vs. paying for parking. You could also walk to Caltrain and get off at Millbrae to switch to BART depending on where your final destination is located.
