50 Best Coffee Shops near Atherton

“I previously thought the Mlle Colette in Palo Alto was perfection. As a reading cafe, a weekend morning at the Atherton location easily takes the cake. Seating is outdoors, but that's not a major limitation when we live with 3 seasons of summer. The caltrain rolls by occasionally, but instead of being grating, it's easy to romanticize in the midst of trees and birds and a clean, well-curated space. There was ample parking, too, for those who stress about such things. And of course, the cafe food is consistently buttery and delicious, if you're in that kind of mood.“

“If you’re trying their signature Miso Caramel Latte, may I recommend going with the iced latte option? While the hot latte is still good, the umami-ness of miso and the contrast of the flavors is much more pronounced in the iced latte version.“

“I've been wanting to go to this place for a while now. Everytime I search for a place with best coffee near my work, this always pops up. I finally had the pleasure of going here, and it wasn't too busy.
The person who took my order was super nice and helpful in narrowing down items to try. Everything here is made to order, so they do recommend using the app. Especially if you are in a hurry.
I ordered:

1. Vietnamese coffee with salted cream: Surprisingly, this was a little sweet to me. I do recommend sipping it, instead of drinking it through a straw to get the full flavor.

2. Croffle w/ nutella: This was crispy and chewy. The nutella gave it a messy yumminess

3. Egg, cheese, and bacon croissant: This was delicious and surprisingly it didn't have that greasy oily feeling. It is very hearty.

4. Perfect green smoothie: My co-worker loved this and found it very delicious. Perfect balance of all the items.

I look forward to coming back soon and will pre-order next time.“

“Loved the ambiance! So many places to sit and enjoy the beautiful park like setting! Porches to sit and relax or work and indoor seating too. Grass area with casual seating, a swing off to the side and some lovely architectural details make it my new go to retreat for reading.“

“Fantastic community based organization at a beautiful. Welcoming site!“

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“I love Adeni Chai here. It’s a warm, friendly and family space to relax and play games. I often go for chai and study sessions. Servers are nice. It’s a good place to catch up with friends and there are multiple other restaurants in the area.“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“I REALLY ENJOYED THE FOOD....IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS AND THE PRICES WERE EXCELLENT“

“I attended a Chemex Kenz coffee tasting and love their Hambala. Their love and passion for coffee translates in the quality of their beans. I’m glad I can also enjoy their brew at Sue’s Cafe in Downtown Saratoga.“

“was an amazing vibes lovely crew coffee was so good!“

“Joana is very attentive. She has one of the best personalities I’ve ever met and great at connecting with people.
Thank you, Joana, for being so knowledgeable and dedicated to your work. You made us feel like a priority and truly valued.“

“Groovy Goose has become our go-to coffee shop. We pick up coffee beans and lattes most weekends, and the quality is always excellent. The shop has a fun, hip vibe, the service is quick, and the staff is genuinely some of the friendliest around.

One thing that really stands out is how well they get to know their regulars. My wife stops by most weekdays, and when it’s not too busy, Alana often has her drink started before she even gets to the register. That kind of personal service is rare these days and says a lot about how much they care about their customers.

If you’re looking for great coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and people who make you feel like part of the community, I can’t recommend Groovy Goose enough.“

“This cafe is such a little gem on the first floor of a beautiful office building. You can order drinks/food and enjoy them outdoor on the steps by the water and trees or spend the day working inside of the cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Plenty of room and tables to work and study.

No need to break up your work time because they serve hot meals and there is such a beautiful space right outside to get fresh air.“

“Favorite place: We always enjoy attending all the events at this wonderful cafe. It's a very cozy place to listen to great concerts or lectures. Thank you.“

“Excellent Turkish coffee, they had some delicious Chai tea as well. The selection of lattes are incredible. A must experience for those who want extraordinary Coffeee and Tea experiences.“

“Amazing neighborhood cafe. It's cozy, unassuming and well situated in a cute Plaza in midtown Palo Alto. The breakfast items are all delicious and well prepared, they roast their beans in house in a corner of the cafe and you may get lucky to be there while they do it, great aroma and a nice touch.

The place is run by a wonderful couple, they welcome their usual guests by name and treat the newcomers with much warmth and happiness. It is my happy place to go to go to start my day.“

“Fiero Cafe is a great spot for a casual but satisfying meal. The pasta here is authentic and delicious — the bolognese especially stands out, rich and full of flavor. Portions are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They also serve omelets, which make a nice lighter option if you’re not in the mood for pasta. Overall, a cozy place with tasty, well-made dishes that feel genuinely Italian.“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“Great food an Service. Friendly staff and generous portions.“

“my first time trying their honey lavender coffee and I love it. I love the ambience and their succulent decor“

“Love the layout and ambience. The coffee was great. With @mike and @gordon“

“The cardamom knots are awesome! I think maybe most people don’t know what they are so maybe they don’t sell as well. Call them like “Swedish Cardamon Knots” and I’m sure they’ll fly. The burnt honey latte is great too.“

“Nice staff. Great menu and lovely outside patio for dining“

“I tend to forget to take pictures sometimes. But by far, my favorite bagel spot in the bay. Warm toasty bagels. Delicious sandwiches. Always great customer service. You want a nice thicccccck bagel sandwich you go to docs. The rolled hotdogs and hotlinks are delicious, too!“

“Highly recommend Jason Cafe! Our family stayed in the neighborhood for a week and ate here four out of our seven days. The service is super fast but never feels impatient, orders always 100% correct, hot, and delicious! Hands down the best waffles I’ve ever had, but everything is good. Servers are amazing, efficient, and friendly. They were really nice to my child who has Tourette Syndrome, never made him feel weird. Also the place is super clean—nothing is sticky or needs to be wiped down—they keep it immaculate.“

“They are on Too Good to Go, and I won a bag. I got a duck salad and pastries. I looked at the salad and I was not sure about tiny pieces of bright tomatoes with fatty slices of dark duck meat, feta and chunks of dried figs and I can’t remember all the ingredients but I ate it with Spanish olive oil and organic balsamic vinegar. It was good. I think the tiny triangle cuts out of the edges of tomato slices were well-thought-out because they were bright and flavorful over the earthy cheese, meat and figs. The duck was more of a charcuterie taste. I thought the fat would be wet, but it was dried or smoked or something. It had a flavor similar to a charcuterie chorizo without the spices. The pastry was a cinnamon spiral executed in the French style of layered extra-thin pastry dough. Crispiest crunch outside and chewiest on the inside.“

“Super good restaurants with healthy and tasty thai food. They do accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions. They could make Jain food for me and also adhere to it strictly even when I order from Doordash and call and let them know about my allergies and Jain religious dietary restrictions. The front desk person is so friendly and helpful.“

“Easy to find, plenty of parking. Very impressive office complex, very inviting common area with a short walk to the water side of the San Francisco Bay. Views of aircraft on final approach to San Francisco International Airport.
The coffee shop is clean and well laid out, kind of small, not very much indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor seating and tables.
Good servers, our order was taken promptly and correctly. Lattes and bagels, both delicious.
We would visit again.“

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

“Best coffee in the Bay Area according to me.“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“Best tasting gluten-free desserts I’ve ever had! I love the gf brownies!“

“I feel like it’s currently 3 stars but the potential is 4 stars beacause it’s a new cafe the crossaunt wasn’t fully warmed up and the “chai” was just cinnamon milk but can be easily fixed by having real chai and you can easily cook the croissant more and then you can tell it’s not a large selection of smoothie s just mango and strawberry and the asthetics is all made by ai and they have a swing you can’t swing on but comfy chairs“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“
