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!!!“

“Overall this experience was amazing! Staff were friendly and very kind! Plenty of games to play as well as different food and drink options. I recommend going to this place if you're going on a date because it's a very cozy place!“

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“My partner and I are not from around here. Decided to stop and try this place and what a great decision that was! The food tasted fantastic! Some of the best basil fried rice I’ve ever had. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was very welcoming. If we’re ever in the area again, this will become a go to stop. 10/10!“

“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.“

“To be honest this place can be the best place for me in Palo Alto! As a person who was born and raised in Izmir, Turkey this place is a gem for me. I love the variety of the food, their espresso tastes awesome (better than some other chain stores) and stuff is always so lovely and caring. Their breakfast is the closest breakfast to real Turkish cuisine. They even brought İzmir boyoz before! The store can be small but very bright and airy. Highly recommended!!!“

“I’ve always wanted to get one of these milk tea coolers and thought Id have to travel far to get one and never expected to get one near us :) and of course the milk tea and boba itself tasted great which made it even more worth it.
Definitely will be reusing this for a lot of drinks.
And the staff was very friendly, welcoming and the whole atmosphere of the place was lovely :) so a well added bonus“

“Yay Wendell is back!!! Wendell was the previous owner of the Depot Café. She makes a tocino breakfast with garlic rice and eggs that is fantastic and my go-to. I’ve never had a bad meal there and I ate there probably three days a week while she owned it. I was so disappointed when she sold to that other fella and he pretty much destroyed the restaurant with his food…(it was awful). It was not good and he was not very clean. Counters were dirty, stuff like that. The one thing I can say about having Wendell back is the depot café is being run clean again. You can tell that cleanliness is next to godliness when it comes to Wendell because it’s noticeably cleaner. I stopped coming after my last food experience here, and it wasn’t until I noticed Wendell moving back in that I came back. I ride the train every day, so having my favorite restaurant cafe back to its good food, great conversation is the upgrade that this place needed. I am so happy to be able to come back to the Depot café again! Welcome back Wendell! Those of us that ride the train all the time couldn’t be happier about it.“

“We love this place for breakfast. Great omelets, freshly made. Great assortment of bagels, fruit is fresh cut, too. Small assortment of baked good, but all the best ones: blueberry muffins, almond croissant, chocolate croissant, etc. Excellent coffee and staff is wonderful!“

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

“Found this cafe after searching “coffee” on Google Maps and was not disappointed! The iced latte was delicious and well balanced - actually tasted like coffee and not just milk! - and the avocado toast was fresh and generous with the toppings on delicious bread. The best part was how friendly and welcoming both employees were. Will certainly be returning to try some baked goods - they all looked delicious!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“We've been coming here whenever we can. We love their sourdough bread and tomato parmesan breads, baked fresh. We just tried their new drink - blueberry matcha - which was unbelievably delicious. Oh , try their pilaf as well, we loved it!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I just went to sujues a few days back .I order my normal small or large iced Carmel macchiato with whip cream and extra Carmel .it is one of my favorite drinks when I go there .The people are kind at the cashier area .I sometimes tip here n there because I like there place .they have the food and snacks behind the glass which I can see clearly .There prices are a lil high but it's the bay area Ca .I might go back again tomorrow for another drink. Small is $5.75 and a large is $6.92.I wish they were only $4-$5 but that's the price we pay for the best weather state in America and in the west coast .“

“The book store was great!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Nice to run into this cafe on a Saturday morning. Everything is well presented. This cafe is inside oakmont sandwich shop and is pet friendly.

We ordered Mediterranean chicken panini, portion size is enough. I ordered Avocado Toast - a secret menu item, need to ask to order.

Cappuccino and Vietnam coffee are both tasty. I am a picky coffee drinker and their coffee drink quality is pretty good.

Recommend for people nearby for brunch or quick lunch.“

“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!“

“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“

“Love this place good place for drinks“

“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!“

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

“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“

“first review of 2026!
stopped by to get some breakfast and their menu had a wide array of selections, prices are very reasonable, and the workers are super nice (including the owner I chatted with). the donuts and hotdog breakfast I got was delicious and was super fresh! Definitely will be back and reccomend.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Mi favorito lugar para ir a desayunar algo fresco“

“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!“

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

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

“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.“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Muy bonito lugar....y todo.bien en servicio de primera, la mejor atencion“
