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.“

“Mi favorito lugar para ir a desayunar algo fresco“

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

“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?“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“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.“

“Eating lunch here right now with the family on a weekend. The service is very friendly and speedy. The space is also very clean and open. The place is kind of tucked away in office buildings but there was still a good amount of people here on a weekend. The kids loved the pond area outside to run around and look at the ducks. The food is also very good. Lots of light and heartier options. We got masubis, loco moco and bibimbop bowls along with some drinks. We’ll definitely be back especially since the kids love it here.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

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

“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!“

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

“Ever since my husband and I visited Sweden last December, we have been on a quest to find authentic Swedish pastries in the Bay Area and have been disappointed, to say the least.

If you are looking for the closest thing to Sweden's Kardemummabullar (Cardamom Bun), this bakery shop has the closest one that we can find in the South Bay so far. It would be perfect if the soft consistency was not just in the center and it was less dry overall. Otherwise, the spices were on point!

Their Kanelbullar (Cinnamon Bun) still has a lot work to do in terms of more cinnamon/spices, soft texture, and dryness, but it's a solid effort compared to all the other ones we have tried in the area.“

“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.“

“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 😊“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!“

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

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“

“The book store was great!!“

“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“

“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! 🧋😊“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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:)“

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

“Calling all nap trapped parents - this place offers curbside pick up and it's so amazing!! I had a matcha latte today and it was decent. It certainly beats going to Starbucks. I'm so happy that a non-fast food, non-major chain offers this. I am excited to try other menu items later and I will report back.“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“food is delicious. staff is so friendly and so supportive. They have the best vegetarian food in bay area.. I would recommend everyone who read this message to try at least once...I have done catering from this place and owner and staff have done great job...good job guys keep it up..GOD BLESS“

“Verde Tea Cafe is a very lowkey and affordable drink store in downtown Mountain View. Their drinks selection are huge, it got almost every boba flavor you could think of, iced or hot. The store is small and cozy but still got free wifi and some tables to sit and study. Also appreciate that they even got Chinese savory snacks like popcorn chicken, fried fish balls or fried chicken wings etc! Overall, a solid spot. Highly recommend checking them out, you couldn't find anywhere cheaper than this.“

“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.“

“THIS was sooooo good! came here during a summer event and me and friends were walking around campus before a presentation when we spotted this place slightly hidden from others. we went inside and while ordering we got to talk to the lovely staff (a few of whom were stanford students) and they told us about working in the area etc. nice place with even nicer food“

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

“Clean place, drinks are delicious“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The cutest little thing with the staff that knows how to take care of their customers. You can just have a Latte and a Pastry but they have a variety of absolutely delicious salads, wraps and sandwiches. Can't recommend it highly enough. # 294 goes there from the Hillsdale Shopping Center.“

“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!!!“

“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.“
