Besides the usual arguments against public transit, such as schedule inflexibility, comfort, and cost[1], there's overall trip time.
Unless your other endpoint is similarly close to a Caltrain "bullet" stop (and one is taking such a "bullet" train), driving takes less time on a typical day (and always during any off-peak period).
[1] Primarily for ad-hoc trips, and especially acute for dual-occupancy cars. For two people, Lawrence Caltrain to the Creamery would cost $19 more by train than incremental cost of driving. (Ignoring parking costs.. which, if more than $24.50 near the Creamery would, indeed, wipe out the savings).
