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.“

“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.“

“A hidden gem!! Rick and his team do a great job of making delicious and healthy meals with a variety of foods and always changing menu. They are located in a business park, but I wouldn't hesitate taking friends and family there for a great meal on the patio to just enjoy and relax.“

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

“Kareoke is fun there and it started back today and every Thursday. Food and service is great.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“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.“

“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 stopped by Oklava in Palo Alto for tea and baklava, and it was a wonderful experience. The tea was fresh and flavorful, and the baklava was absolutely delicious—perfectly sweet, fresh, and authentic. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy a traditional treat. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

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

“Clean place, drinks are delicious“

“Delicious food, lovely quiet and calm atmosphere, great customer service.

My family is from Central Asia and we came mainly for uzbek plov made with lamb (which is rare) and samsa’s with different stuffing :)
Btw, they have plov only 3 days a week, so ask about it in advance.
We also bought sourdough bread, which tasted great.“

“Love the indoor/patio ambience Menu selection,,,food ,,,,especially variety of bruschettas Drink selection as well,,,, mimosas,,,sangria Would like more live music“

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

“I was just looking for a place with quick service and a really good latte, and Atlas Bakery & More completely delivered. It’s inside a corporate building, which honestly made the whole thing feel even more unexpected. I grabbed my coffee and sat outside in their sunny courtyard with the fountains, little benches, and umbrellas, and it ended up being such a peaceful part of my morning. A very charming little hidden gem.“

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

“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.“

“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!!)“

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

“It’s a Beautiful place the guys very Friendly and Nice costumer Service the Best Boba In the Bay Area. We loved and recommend ;they have a lot of flavors every fruit it’s Natural and the tapiocas so good 😊“

“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.“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“I come to this place almost everyday, the staff is friendly and the coffee is good! Every Sunday, they make delicious breakfast burritos, tacos and pupusas until 11am. They are delicious! This Cafe is hands down one of my favorite local places to buy my snacks and coffee.“

“Red Berry Coffee Bar is such a gem! The avocado toast is absolutely delicious. Their matcha is also one of my favorites.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, outdoor spots are especially nice during the summer, making it the perfect spot to relax, work, or meet up with friends.“

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

“I went into Steve’s Cafe & Catering alone and honestly wasn’t even sure what to order at first. The staff immediately made the experience comfortable by asking thoughtful questions about what I liked and helping guide me toward the Parmesan chicken sandwich — which ended up being incredible.

It was fresh, flavorful, and so good that my girlfriend even ate vegetables she normally doesn’t enjoy. Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt welcoming and supportive, especially as a new customer. You can tell they genuinely care about helping people have a good experience, not just making a sale. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

By the way, the brownies made my girlfriends eyes roll hehehe, I highly recommend Steve's Cafe & Catering“

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

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!“

“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!“

“Great place for Asian drinks!“

“Just finished eating an egg, cheese, bacon croissant sandwich...earlier had a chocolate glazed donut with large Chai latte..the donut was fresh-i could tell immediately upon the first bite. 2 weeks ago, I indulged in Krispy Kreme donut...weird cause I see Krispy Kreme ee's making donuts but the donut did not taste fresh...a hidden gem of a place..next time I intentionally decide to indulge in a donut, this will be my to go place...from perusing other reviews, u might not find the hot drinks to ur liking but the donuts, pastries and sandwiches are divine..plus there's a variety of refrigerated cold drinks available:)...did not give 5 stars simple to encourage growth and creativity to abound:)“

“Really great place to sit down and work. Not really quite but most people are using their headsets anyway. Food is pretty good and I agree with some others that the staff could be a bit friendlier.
I didn't need it, but having some tables with power supply would be great.
Anyhow, this place got marked as my future workplace favorite.“

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

“This place is actually the best!! Boba is delicious and cheap, so many options and pretty fast especially in comparison with other downtown places :D The lady is genuinely the sweetest person alive, she once brought my boba out because I was scared of my bike being stolen!! I’ve gone here so many times with friends and alone and it’s consistently amazing 😋😋

For those wondering my go-to is a reg mango tea or milk tea 50% sugar, less ice, mango jelly and big pearl boba, enjoy!“

“I got the Manila specialty drink (ube drink). Very interesting combination of flavors. Compared to the equivalent ube boba order, this one has a more mature flavor profile thanks to the shot of espresso. ⚠️Warning: it will make your tongue purple.

I’d say the drinks are a notch too pricey for me to come here regularly.“

“My son and I stopped by Mr. Sun for a refreshing boba treat, and it was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Mr. Sun Special with strawberry boba and another Mr. Sun Special with brown sugar boba, and both drinks were perfectly balanced, refreshing, and full of flavor. The boba was fresh, soft, and delightfully chewy, making every sip enjoyable.

The shop was clean and welcoming, and the service was friendly and efficient. It was the perfect place to cool down and enjoy a sweet treat together. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend Mr. Sun to any boba lover! 🧋😊“

“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.“

“The book store was great!!“

“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!!!“

“We were driving in the vicinity of this college campus and it came up as a place to stop for a great cup of coffee. Well, we parked and had to hunt around but ultimately found Power Cup Coffee near the cafeteria. We really loved the coffee blend and you can tell the owner really has a passion for great coffee. Would definitely recommend the extra effort to come here, even if you’re not a student or professor. Fun to have a reason to be on a campus again! I still kept the loyalty card even though I live abroad.“
