15 Best Cafes in Mountain View

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Modern elegance combined with a cozy atmosphere, it is a great place to meet people or hashing out ideas!The cappuccino I ordered was expertly prepared, with a creamy foam and a rich, robust espresso base. What truly set it apart, however, was its temperature—served just right, it provided a satisfying warmth without being scalding.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is my favorite boba! My go to is earl Grey milk tea with boba and herbal jelly and I find it's one of the only places that offer that flavor!!! I also love the seating and I get the popcorn chicken less spice and that is also very good!☃️“

“big beers, good German beers, for a good price“

“Best Panera for working/studying throughout the day. Plenty of seating locations (inside and out). Unlimited sip club is great. Service is great. Food comes out fast and fresh. Although not fancy, I really like panera’s selection of healthy affordable food. App is great for ordering and seeing clear nutritional/calorie menu information (even for customizations). Staff makes an effort to make sure tables are clean and cleared. Chill atmosphere. Feels almost like a local community hub with the variety of people coming in (families, groups of teens, elderly & middle aged, old friends catching up).“

“Overall, I liked the “macarons“ at this cute little take away counter. I use the quotes because these are not your classic macarons. They’re like macarons on steroids – bigger creamier, and semi-open-faced. These confections are good in their own, right - rich, creamy, and not too sweet. I tried the tiramisu flavor. But don’t come here looking for a classic macaron, which has a crisper cookie base and a chewier, more flavorful filling.“

“very great service, one of the best I had, will repeat“

“My kids and I love this place, the employees are so so nice and patient, the place is so clean and welcoming, there's a nice and affordable coffee shop. My kids refuse to go home every time we visit there.“
