50 Best Cafes near Menlo Park

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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 variety of choices for brunches (sandwiches, bagels, rice plates, etc, rice balls) and beverages (coffee, tea, boba, etc)
+ Loved the omelet. Light and fresh taste. Not over-flavored like many other brunch places.
+ Quiet and low key atmosphere

- Hojicha was too sweet.“

“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“

“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 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!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“The book store was great!!“

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

“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!“

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

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

“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“

“Love this place good place for drinks“

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!“

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

“Iced matcha was not strong enough, so I will try hot matcha next time. Also iced strawberry matcha is nice. They made my order wrong at first (matcha instead of strawberry matcha) so they gave me the matcha for free—super kind, thanks!

Line is long but fast, and seating may not look available at first but it cleared up for me. Love the vibe and furniture.“

“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 🤍🎈“

“Great food and friendly folks. We love this place! Try the crab cakes eggs Benedict. Yumm“

“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.“

“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.“

“Jared’s Coffee is a gem on campus.
Great customer service, friendly conversation, and genuinely awesome drinks every single time. I also really appreciate the rewards card option — such a smart touch for students and staff who stop by often.

If you’re on campus and want good coffee plus a warm, welcoming vibe, this is the place to support. Jared is doing everything right — definitely worth making this your go-to spot.“

“Had Breakfast here during our stay in San Mateo. Our Hotel was nearby and didn't serve breakfast, after a quick search, decided to check out this place. Glad we did, great Coffee and Food. This was the first place we visited during our trip to San Francisco. It's located in an Office Building, lots of parking. What we loved too was how everyone here knew each other. Staff were very warm and friendly. Will definitely visit again.“

“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.“

“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.“
