50 Best Cafes near East Palo Alto

“We had a wonderful experience with excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. Special thanks to the staff who remembered us—it truly made us feel welcome. The food was outstanding, especially the savory dishes; the lobster sandwich was exceptional. The desserts were also very thoughtfully prepared. In particular, the balance between the scone and the clotted cream was perfect. We would absolutely love to visit again.“

“I just needed to grab a quick breakfast before I went to IKEA and happened upon one of the BEST BREAKFAST CROISSANTS I’ve ever had. I was also super surprised to find how good the mocha was. It’s between the entrances of a Home Depot and I ate in my car. I was so worth it!!!“

“I love Next Level!
It's great for playing board games with my little kids - they have a shelf that's sorted by age.
It's also great for advanced strategy games. The staff give great recommendations based on what you like to play. They have lots of newly released and independent games that I hadn't heard of but ended up loving!“

“Amazing food, excellent place to attend an event and meet new people.“

“Indoor seating has reopened. Always the best coffee in town, by far!“

“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!!“

“Cafe Zoë is an incredible little community space that serves delicious beverages, food and entertainment. Kathleen, Zoë and the staff are truly amazing and provide great service. They are community minded and love how they support the arts as well.“

“One of the best up-and-coming pizzas in the bay. Plain cheese has always been great and I recently got the "Pub Grub" pizza lab special that had buffalo cauliflower and a house made ranch sauce, probably the best speciality pizza I've ever had.“

“Very festive tea and light eats place. Teas, boba's, smoothies, food and dessert. My daughter brought me here after school and I was pleasantly surprised. Couches, tables beautiful decor. If you like tea or boba I'd highly recommend this place.“

“First time visiting this place. This cafe seems to be a local favorite and I can see why. I had a ham&cheese croissant and a coffee - the pastry was delicious and the coffee came in a nice big mug. Local spots like this are always the best find!“

“We had a lovely lunch. Food and service were excellent!“

“This is the platonic ideal of a cafe! When I'm home I put on ambient music from YouTube to try to capture this vibe: jazz playing, rustic decor, relaxing outdoor seating, a pot of tea or a cappuccino cooling. We will definitely be regulars.

It's open from early into the morning to late at night. The food is not just continental, but a diverse mix, which is normally a bad sign, but here its the perfect mix: from an exquisite absolutely massive Turkish breakfast representing the owner's culture (with a delicious pot of Indian tea), to hard-to-find Phillipino food, likely the chef's. There's also Afgan food, with kebab's in a far larger serving size than any place around.

What a wonderful place to work, go on a date, coffee or breakfast with a friend, or take the family.“

“Great small family owned and run bagel cafe. The bagels are fresh as can be, have a large variety and are reasonably price. They are the best and freshest bagels on the Peninsula. My wife and I love the lox cream cheese combo bagel. They don’t skimp on cream cheese, unlike Noah’s, served warm with great smells of the topping. Very nice outdoor patio to enjoy your brunch. They also have a variety of meat bagel sandwiches to choose from Al top notch and carefully made.“

“Location is a local food hall made of around 4 businesses.

Today stopped in to try their burgers. The company is called “Revival state burgers”.

decided to go with the OKC
- 2 patties
- potato bun
- grilled onions
- American cheese
- creamy garlic aioli
- Dijon mustard

It’s hard to not be bomb with that line up of ingredients. size wise it resembles the portion of a “double double” just minus the veggies. I know this isn’t a “smash burger” a little but of crisp/caramelization would take this over the top. Solid solid solid burger. Would come back for it.

Other things to consider, I have had the Ube latte from the coffee shop. That’s great also.

Worth a check out.“

“I missed the drop off day for donating for the animals in need. Stopped by there this morning with a donation. Loved the greeting with a smile that I received when I walked in by the young man behind the counter. he was totally surprised when I handed him an envelope and explained that I had missed the drop off date. Now I know why this Cafe receives 5 stars, very friendly atmosphere. I will be back!!“

“Mr. Sun’s Boba has been my FAVORITE café in the Bay Area since December 2023. I love Mr. Sun Tea because (1) the ambiance is welcoming and perfect for both reading and working (2) the boba is healthy. The tapioca pearls are made FRESH in-house daily, without any chemicals or artificial additives.

My go-to order is the RAINBOW Boba Milk Tea with three flavors of boba. I love it so much that I also order Mr. Sun for my gatherings and catering needs.“

“The lady who works behind the counter is extremely rude and unprofessional. Very snobby and no manners, she laughed in my face multiple times, and since then, I have not returned. She ruined the whole experience. I emailed and never got a response back. I'm not quite sure if this behavior is acceptable. But she had a gross attitude, a bigger, heavier set woman wearing glasses with hair in a bun.“

“Mi fermo spesso da Cafe Borrone per un caffè e una brioche, ma non riesco a trovare il locale nell’app Coverflex: accettate i buoni pasto?“

“I had The Combo Pho and took a Combo Bahn Mi to go.. Both very good and the bread for the bahn Mi was fresh. Also had a Thai Tea very good!“

“Incredibly friendly atmosphere. Perfect for studying and sipping on a warm drink. Staff is friendly and genuine. Food is served in HUGE portions and you can’t beat the price. Have been here countless times!“

“I come here all the time for breakfast and lunch, and it’s always really great. The employees are kind and helpful, there’s a lot of seating, it’s very clean, and I have enjoyed everything I’ve had to eat or drink. My usual favorites are the iced chai and any of the sandwiches.“

“Pleasant & courteous greeting, Neat & clean tables, Quick table service & ordering, Good food, served hot“

“I was referred to this by a coworker and we decided to do catering for an in office event. We ordered the most popular options (Turkey, ham, roast beef and veggie options). Everything was amazing! Communication was there and service was great! The owners are so sweet and kind! Food is delicious and fresh! If I could give a 10 star I would!“

“Stoped by for a fresh breakfast to start the day. I was promptly greeted and helped to order an omelette. I dined in and enjoyed the breakfast. It’s nice to be able to get freshly prepared food close to the hotel to start the day out. I’m looking forward to trying out lunch next time in town.“

“Love this place good place for drinks“

“Delicioso todos. Really enjoyed service and the food.“

“The book store was great!!“

“Stanford in campus counter style cafe offering a blend of Southeast Asian flavours. One has to lower expectations given that this is within the university and caters to a diverse set of diners, so the tastes are milder vs the local Asian staples. A good representation nonetheless of Asian cuisine. The dining area is soley outdoors but relatively clean and provides a good campus spot to have ones meal and to meet up. No toilets available.

Vegetarian options: Counter style gives you options but ask servers on specific ingredients used

Parking: Stanford University parking system in effect while free parking lots are further situated with the use of free shuttles

Kid-friendliness: Ample options for kid's tastes

Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious seating outdoors but ordering has to be done by counter“

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!“

“Frambrini's Cafe is upgraded and it is amazing! Extensive menu and big-portion dishes. I like the beautiful pink rose latte“

“Where else can I find a crepe stuffed with cheese, avocado, egg and mushroom?? This was so delicious. The service here was amazing considering how busy it was and they went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with my lunch. Definitely if you are in the area and up for a quick and delicious mean DO stop in here. They have many vegetarian options true to their menu board and a case with a variety of baked goods 🤍🎈“

“Awesome place to enjoy good coffee, pastries and cosy atmosphere!“

“I got a taro milkshake with boba with my father along with a grape lemon slushy! I liked my drink and my Dad didn’t have to pay vey much! We had a great father-daughter outing there! We consider coming back next time.“

“Jimmy's serves awesome food and his staff is the best catering crew around.“

“A true hidden gem in Mountain View. We love coming here for our Saturday morning bagel fix. The bagels are made in-house and have a fantastic texture, with some unique flavors like Swiss cheese, spinach, and jalapeño. Their homemade cream cheese is also a must-try. I'm a big fan of their Vietnamese coffee—it's got a unique blend that's unlike anywhere else. The place is simple but spotlessly clean, and the staff always wears masks. Just remember, there's no seating; it's takeout only.“

“All time favorite cafe latte spot. With waffle & strawberries. At 7:30am!“

“These guys are amazing! They catered my daughter’s graduation party and it was delicious! They were very helpful, and they did everything from set up to cleanup! Thank you!!!“

“Felt hungry just when we arrived at the Computer History Museum, so we chose to dine here at Cloud Bistro. The atmosphere is quite comfy with daylight coming in. The Motherboard Melt flatbread pizza is really good with the caramelised onion. Though the chocolate croissant is not hot enough. Overall experience was satisfying.“

“Blueberry Pour Over. Awesome Flavor. Best Coffee Until Dutch Bros.. Starbucks Who Suju's What Bye Phils“

“I recently visited Counterpoint with friends for brunch and had a fantastic time. We enjoyed the **Garden Omelette** with fresh veggies and Monterey Jack cheese, the flavorful **Veggie Breakfast Burrito** with feta and pico de gallo, and a refreshing **Seasonal Yogurt Parfait**. The **Breakfast Sandwich** with ham, avocado, and aged cheddar on a toasted croissant was a highlight. The friendly and helpful staff made our visit even better. We had a great experience and can’t wait to return!“

“I highly recommend this donut basket for everyone that need a jump start. Great wonderful service friendly people always asking about your day. Makes me feel like home. Amazing coffee delicious donuts with a lot of goodness.

Ps Jordy write this. I been coming here for the last 3 years. N trust me when I tell u they have the best donuts in Mountain View. I drive all the way out here from San Jose. Just for the donuts and the bomb ass coffee.“

“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.“

“Just discovered this little gem! So conveniently located near the research park. Very clean with a nice parking lot. They also cater parties on site, mostly for nearby businesses. They don't mind if you stay a little while between meetings, and there is a lot of seating.“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

“Cute cafe on Stanford’s campus. I loved the ample outdoor seating options! I got a burger which came with chips. It was good, but the burger patty could have used a little more seasoning in my opinion. The burger was also a bit pricey for the portion size you are getting, but that’s Stanford generally, so do not hold them against it. Staff is very kind & accommodating.“

“Phenomenal food at a student-friendly price! Had lunch with the wife today at this magnificent establishment and it was terrific. This cafeteria is part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and is apparently where all of the b-school eager beavers refuel on sustenance. ? I particularly appreciated the, oh-so-clever, names that accompanied each of the food stations. ? Haha, you can totally tell this is where all of the MBA people hang out! Definitely get lunch here if you're in the area!“

“Love ALL of the menu options and seasonal baked goods! Specialty's is the best. You can order in advance and pick up your order or enjoy it there.

Peet's coffee bar inside the restaurant. My two worlds collide!“
