“Came to Raw right before closing! It was a bit empty given closing time but the staff were still friendly and helpful. Ended up getting a açaí bowl and forgot how much I loved these! Definitely coming back again to try a smoothie next time and maybe more.“
“I cannot believe I never knew about this cafe when I lived nearby. Just discovered it today and will definitely be back! The BLT and Chipotle Chicken sandwiches were delicious & filling - generous portions of crispy bacon, lots of spring mix to be healthy and the French bread was beautifully warm and toasted. Limonada mineral just like we had in Mexico, and the Cafe de olla is a must try! The ladies were super sweet and gave us a sample of their chia pudding which was also delicious and I’ll be ordering a bowl for breakfast next time I come. This place is easy to miss as it doesn’t look like much from the front and the interior is small, but then there is a nice back patio with about 10 tables of various sizes including a huge communal table that can seat about ten people. The decor transported me back to our visits to Mexico. Love love love!Dietary restrictions: Has non dairy options for their espresso drinks“
“My husband is on a business trip from Arizona and he flew me out and brought me here 2 weeks into his trip. I absolutely loved everything about this cafe! Great atmosphere and everything we got was delicious. The vibe was on point. The cashiers/host were awesome friendly kind and pleasant. We orders 2 mocha coffees with the heart shaped design, first time trying, and ohmygosh it was delicious! We also ordered the sandwich, THE CHAPLIN,, added avocado, has a chipotle sauce. Soooo delicious! After breakfast we went to throw away our trash and there was a gallon with fresh cold water, I know my waters and this one was outstanding! Everything at the cafe is so well put together you just know you’re going to receive a great experience. Highly recommend!“
“Wanted to give this local coffee shop a try. Located on a very busy street, it was nice that they had a small parking lot located next door. Once inside, the coffee shop is pretty small and gives off homey vibes. It took sometime for them to get to us but you can tell the coffee is made with care. Ordered the Mexican hot chocolate mocha. 10/10. It wasn't too sweet or too coffee tasting. It was a perfect balance. I will be coming back to get it again!“
“What a hidden gem we stumbled upon! It was 9:00 am on a Friday, right as they were opening their doors, and already there was a buzz of activity with people streaming in and placing their orders. Overall, it was a delightful experience. I absolutely adored it. And let me tell you, their coffee? To die for! (Haha!)Their menu offers such a unique selection of dishes that you won't find elsewhere. I'd even go as far as to say it's one-of-a-kind. I opted for the croque madam, and let me tell you, it was a generous portion size! My boyfriend went for the scrambles, and he was equally impressed. The owner or general manager was incredibly attentive, which only added to the overall positive vibe of the place.Thanks a bunch! We'll definitely be back for more!“
“If y’all don’t know about Ada’s, y’all should — because they got one of the BEST coffees around town. They are locally sourced and get the most organic beans, and make the BEST pastries. And best of all, they are a 501(c)3 non-profit social enterprise running in the heart of Palo Alto. I work at Cubberley not far from Ada’s, so I have been coming by often and supporting.A big shout out goes to Kathleen, the owner and founder of Ada’s Cafe — she’s absolutely humble and very caring at every customer. She goes above and beyond in support of not only the neurodivergent community, but also for the communities in need in Palo Alto.I ordered a 16oz latte with whole milk on a Friday — and they honestly served it with SO much love and so much belonging. It truly felt like I was at home, but 10x better. The beans had flavor, and the whole milk wasn’t overly saturated. I also appreciated how much love and consideration they put in the croissant sandwich as well, because the ingredients were fresh and not too sweet or too salty at all.It is located next to the Palo Alto Library, and they do close early at 4pm. There is limited indoor seating, but there is a variety of things you can choose from. I would definitely recommend supporting a local business like Ada’s and having your bestie brunch dates here too.Vegetarian options: They have some things you can ask for vegetarian! In fact, most things are vegetarian :)Dietary restrictions: They have different kind of non-dairy options you can choose from! :DParking: Because we’re sharing a parking lot with the Palo Alto Library, there are times where you’re not able to find parking right away. However do not fret, because they usually clear away after a while.Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly - most of the kids from Challenger or nearby kids from the surrounding neighborhood come to get an ice cream scone from Ada’s! No wonder that’s why they were this profit-driven — and they’re still running despite the inflation — they get TONS of business from the kids everyday!Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible! Very wheelchair friendly — and they accommodate very openly about who sits there and stuff.“
“This is a very nice and convenient cafe to go to at Centerville Train Station. They serve American and Filipino food here. This is actually my second time coming here and noticed that they have Lamb Tocino, which is quite unheard and probably rarely eaten.The wait was long because there are some issues in the kitchen, but I’ll let that slide. The staff are friendly when people got here and are apologetic due to problems at the backend.I also like how the place is decorated trying to match the theme of trains and other transportations. It is small for a dining area, but it’s worth relaxing and coming here.“
“Very friendly staff that gave delicious recommendations and gave me a rundown on Turkish coffee for my first time! I'm a huge coffee guy and the Turkish coffee here was pretty good, pastries were great though! There's relatively limited seating but it's also great for some grab and go bites! Will definitely come here again to this semi-hidden gem :)“
“This place has the most variety of breakfast/brunch items and amazing drinks you can enjoy. Staff are friendly, always around, checking on you and responsive. The food is always tasty and fresh, great portions, makes you full. Egg Benedicts are my favorite, however you can’t go wrong with their omelettes! Also the pancakes are very fresh and perfectly made! I love their mimosas and their boozed coffees. Very recommend!“
“I love verde and I used to go to the cupertino one all the time as a kid before it closed. My boyfriend and I come here all the time for the nostalgia.The drinks are still amazing and the popcorn chicken is delicious!Our fav is strawberry jasmine milk tea :)“
“Their Chole bhature are the best in the whole Bay Area. Try it once and you can tell the difference. I have ordered it many times and will continue to do so but I have tried their other food items which were just ok. Their naans needs improvement. Not sure what happened but when I took them home and tried to eat them, they were basically stretchy and unchewable. I hope they fix this problem. When eaten in the store, they are very good.“
“Was in the neighborhood & got hungry. Was heading 2 Sonic's & Seen Amy's grill & decided 2 give it a try. I ordered a breakfast sausage sandwich & blueberry waffles. I just finished the food now & it was great! ? would def recommend & will be back again! Thank you! #HazyJavi on all music apps!“
“I loved the atmosphere! Comfortable couches, electric outlets, the piano! Food is alright: the salmon pasta was huge and the salmon yummy, the BLT sandwich had over fried bacon that was hard to chew, the pastry tasted good but was cold and a bit soggy. The Matcha latte used the syrup instead of actual matcha :(It's not bad for a college cafeteria but the prices are not justified“
“Cafe 86 opened a location in Norcal, specializing in ube desserts and drinks. I usually order an upside down halo halo to share with friends. Delicious with traditional and modern toppings like ice cream, frosted flakes, and boba, it's a nice treat to share with others (or eat it by yourself to satisfy a sweet tooth). Seating is limited in the cafe. Would recommend if you're in the area.“
“Many crepe options to choose from but we went with dessert options. The pasta as a side is very good with savory crepes, banana freeze is my staple if you love bananas. My La La loo loo crepe was very delicious and although I asked for syrup on the side i definitely didn't need any. The ice cream on the side was also the perfect touch. Highly recommend for a quick breakfast / brunch. After ordering it took around 10 minutes for the food to come out together.“
“Our family frequented this spot for quite a few months as we take our toddler to the play gym next door on a weekly basis and we love the local family ambiance here! It's always busy Saturday mornings, but never so busy that you can't find a spot to sit and sip your coffee or chow down on your breakfast. Their coffee is good, and we're a big fan of their bagels and that's really all we could ask for! Parking is a bit iffy depending on the time of day, since we're there early for the play gym we never have much of an issue but we have seen the lot completely packed when we come out of our gym class.“
“Their flat white was exceptional - rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The breakfast menu offered a great variety of tasty options.One note: parking can be a challenge.Update: There's a parking lot right next to the cafe, it's free on weekends ?“
“Wow! This sweet little pizza shop is making amazing pizzas! Owner Matt Burr greeted us himself. He's super friendly; we felt right at home. We had a cheese pizza with 4 toppings of our choice. Perfectly topped with a really flavorful tomato sauce base. The crust though? That was what clinched it-- chewy and charred to perfection. Matt's shop is clean and comfortable with plenty of seating. Couldn't have had a better pizza experience! Just wow!“
“This has become my husband and my go-to place for a quick, delicious breakfast. I usually get a skillet - every one I've tried comes out piping hot and packed with flavor - and a freshly squeezed orange juice. Unlike many other places, their orange juice is actually real freshly squeezed juice! Service is lightning fast, even when the place is packed.“
“A great BYO Asian bowl spot on Stanford campus! The place is pretty popular with students, so there tends to be a line around lunchtime. Bowls are around $12, all meats are the same price. There is no seating inside, just grab and go, but there are some nice seating areas right outside.I had a salad bowl with half tocino and half panko chicken. Loved the texture and flavor of both meats, and the variety and amount of vegetables I got in my bowl. The tocino pork had a great sweet and savory flavor and the panko chicken was crispy and tender.Topped it off with the sriracha mayo sauce.Would definitely return to try their other protein options!“
“Met up with friends at the cafe here a few times. So far, plenty of free parking in the lot across the street. For take-out, you step aside and wait after ordering, or for dine-in, a server will find your number to bring the food to your table. Either way, the wait can take quite awhile. I've had ham and cheese small bytes; baguette was hard and too salty. Turkey cranberry and arugula sandwich was decent. Coffee is good. Strawberry Dragon Fruit drink is refreshing, light sweet. Nice area to walk around Google campus!“
“I had to place orders for an event i coordinated and the food was perfect. The food was prepared in the time selected and the service at pick up was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend for great tasting food, friendly service and perfect for planning orders for big events.“
“Fresh donuts, hot brekkie sandwiches, coffee, juices and even boba sold here. If you're in a hurry and want a hot breakfast sandwich, call it in. When i go in to order it usually takes them 10 minutes to make, maybe 8. Great service always. It's family owned, so go support them. They have reasonable prices.“
“We are not from the area and the hotel we stayed at didn’t have breakfast or coffee.. I looked up breakfast near me and this place popped up. We decided to try it. Everything seems very reasonably priced. My husband had the Lox bagel and said it was amazing. And I ordered an iced white mocha and I have to say I think it’s better than Starbucks! I wish we had one of these back where I’m from I’d be here almost everyday if I could!“
“Used to frequent this cafe when I lived in SoCal so I was happy to see them open up in the Bay Area. Ube flan cupcakes were just as good as I remember. Moist ube cupcake and a creamy flan topping. They had a buy 4 pastry get a free hibiscus calamansi cooler which was a sweet deal. If you're an ube fan, this place is a must.“
“It's been a while since I've been here, but I often think back to the time when I worked in this plaza and remember Sam and his wife, the kindest folks in the restaurant biz that you'll ever meet. The food is always great, and the company even better. Eating here feels just like coming home!“
“I got the Deluxious mocha and a tofu arepa and my date got the spicy Maya cocoa and the plantain arepa. The drinks and food were exceptional and came fast. The service was warm and attentive, and the place looked beautiful, clean, open, and inviting.Vegetarian options: Lots of the food is traditionally vegetarian and even more is made vegetarian with the use of tofu.“
“We have dined in the Cafe almost since the day it opened. Through the years they have consistently exceed our expectations by providing an exceptional dining experience especially for special occations. I live around 200 miles from the resturant and always make it a destination when visiting my family in the area.“
“I cannot recommend Caffino enough. I grew up near this stand and the new owners (2020ish) have done wonders to revive this stand. They repainted the stand and gave it a facelift and man it made a world of a difference. The coffee selection is immaculate and the pastries are delicious and always seem fresh. Not to mention the workers make you feel like family. They always welcome you with a warm smile, pay attention to your entire order, and never skip a beat. It is always my first stop when I come home to visit and will remain that way!!Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy alternativesKid-friendliness: Great kids menu“
“Definitely get the lemongrass beef and grilled pork sandwiches and the marshmallows from hello kitty and get the V iced coffees the service is lovely the food is amazing and everything is very beautifully displayed; I need to come back and try more items like their bao and fresh rolls. Thank you especially to the staff for being so kind!“
“Have been coming here since 1999 but stopped for a while due to Covid restrictions. Ordered the Bacon, Mushroom and Avocado omelette and boy it was sooo good. My nephew ordered a Club sandwich and it was excellent. Customer service is excellent, as well. Prices are not bad for the food quality, portion size and tastiness.Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible“
“The service is exceptional super fast and considerate. The food though is a little okay. The popcorn chicken has actual popcorn which sounds innovative but the combination just didn't work. The food was definitely in the smaller portions and the prices were definitely more expensive. Super great study place though.“
“There is no Cafe right now just a snack bar upstairs where you can buy candy chips sodas water and other snacks. Also computers and books upstairs on the upper level floor. Mostly gifts, books and clothing on the ground floor. School supplies and discount items on the mezzanine level and the ground floor is textbooks, Diploma Frames and medical goggles. They definitely have some nice stuff. A fifth star could be made available if they working Cafe was serving coffee upstairs. Okay Dave?“
“Hidden Gem Cafe! Cozy, great coffee, welcoming, swing chairs!, absolutely delicious food and drinks. Comforting in every way. The staff sincerely cares and they offer creative new drinks and food on a regular basis. Horchata latte, anyone?Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and will enjoy the fun food and cozy seating options.“
“Suju's Coffee offers an exceptional coffee experience that surpasses expectations. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both catching up with friends or enjoying a peaceful moment alone. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, setting the stage for what's to come. Their expertly crafted coffee beverages are a delight to the senses, boasting rich flavors and smooth textures that cater to even the most discerning coffee connoisseur. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to ensure your visit is nothing short of perfection. Whether you're in the mood for a classic espresso or a specialty latte, Suju's Coffee never disappoints. It's truly a gem in the realm of coffee shops, and I highly recommend paying them a visit.“
“So this is my to go place for my vietnamese coffee and breakfast too. When i want quiet me time or family time ill come here.This place is to chill not rush and go if your hungry eat a banana before you come relax enjoy the atmosphere. Employee are wonderful there is 1 she a little stressed but she good.the grey haired lady is a Gem? be nice to the employee cause they are and will be wonderful ? to you. In the back it's beautiful seating close but niceVegetarian options: SureKid-friendliness: Kid friendly. more older adults but it's where you teach kids table manners“
“I love Coupa Cafe’s iced latte! I think their latte is the world best! Strong and aromatic coffee. It makes me feel happy.Pastries are also good. The only thing I want to tell is all the menus are expensive… If it were a little cheaper I would eat it every day.Besides, their waffle with lots of fruits is crispy and tastes good! Their boba is not good because it is not chewy “
“Very tasty boba, well made with great portions.The employees were very nice. Not very much sitting or standing room available. Will have to sit outside somewhere around the public seating closer to parking area. You will likely need to order at the kiosk that does not take cash.“
“JIMMY V'S!!! One of my FAVORITE cafes to visit on Stanford Campus - they serve the most delicious breakfasts, lunch foods, and smoothies / shakes / drinks. Many of their foods that I have enjoyed include: Athlete Omelet, Norcal Scramble, Huevos Rancheros, Stanford Panini, Chicken Chestnut Salad Melt, and Olympian and Cardinal smoothies! Everything is so on point. All their omelets, paninis, sandwiches, smoothies, everything. I also always come back to the Olympian smoothie, which features apple juice, strawberry, banana, raspberry, peach, and low-fat yogurt. The people at Jimmy V's are literally some of the friendliest and warmest I've ever met - I always see them smiling and making conversation and connections with everyone. The inside of the Sports Cafe is lively with a strong community feel and Stanford school spirit, and it is also busy with students, professors, athletes - you name it! The red walls feature quotes like "Passion is Your Greatest Asset", "You Are Never Wrong To Do The Right Thing", and "Teams That Eat Together Play Together Win Together". Jimmy V's also has multiple HD TVs all around the cafe with different sports channels on. In addition, Jimmy V's has a huge outdoors seating area as well, with both sun umbrellas and natural shade from the large green trees. Jimmy V's is one of the best cafe's ever!!! I have loved everything I've ordered from them so far, and I can't wait to try more. Jimmy V's is also the perfect place for any kind of gathering - with friends, with professors, with sports teammates, or on your own! I am not surprised that it is one of the most well-loved, frequented, and beautiful cafés on campus. I would definitely recommend enjoying food from Jimmy V's!!!“
“Stumbled upon this cafe waiting for an appointment. Had the tomato mozzarella sandwich on gluten free bread and a tea. It was delicious but the staff was really impressive. Kind, helpful and efficient. Wish I tipped more. Would definitely return!“
“This is one of my favorite tea/boba places. They have a great variety of drinks that you don't see at many other places. It's a small place with no indoor seating. You order on a tablet and the staff make everything in a timely manner. I tried the egg pancake for the first time and it was delicious. I loved that it is shaped like a boba drink! My go to is the mango pomelo sago because it is the perfect combo of sweet and tart. I definitely recommend anything from here though.“
“It's a touristic Italian coffee shop with Italian desserts! The name tells it all! It's a self service cafe. If you're a chocolate lover, this is your haven! This place is famous for real (European) hot chocolate or chocolate mousse. Pastries are fresh and delicious. Hot chocolate is actually melted chocolate not hot coco There are indoor and limited (laptop free) outdoor seating. Parking may be tough since it's right in the middle of Palo Alto downtown, but still possible in surrounding streets parking and lots. Of course good for kids and a small meet up. It's a bit pricy but given the quality and atmosphere may be debatable.“
“My husband and I ended up here on a whim and it was the best decision of the day. The staff upon arrival was warm and welcoming and they maintained the same level of service throughout the visit. The food, might I add I'm not a fan of restaurant Mexican food at all, was AMAZING. It could have been just what I ordered so I'll have to visit again and try other meals but the choice for that day was nopales, chorizo and eggs and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere for my taste was 5 stars because I love little hole in the wall places that feel like home vs hustle n bustle big crowded locations but taking into consideration I'm an introvert and my preference doesn't reflect the masses I opted for 4 stars. Highly recommend if your in town.“
“Milk tea with popping boba was good. Popcorn chicken was also good. It came out a little slow but it's probably because it's only one person working. We are coming back to try more for sureParking: lotsKid-friendliness: I would want my kid to go here“
“The Lorraine's cafe food truck was at my work today and I have to say it's the BEST fried chicken I've ever eaten. The breading was crispy, loaded with spices and flavor, but layered on thicker than the substantial hunk of meat which was perfectly cooked to juicy, mouth watering perfection. I may have to track this food truck down again!“
“Went here for lunch. The food options were decent for vegetarians. Had Crunchy veg sandwich or wrap. It was good and portion size too was good. Service is a bit slow so may not be the place to go if you need to be somewhere quickly but the food was good.“
“Your typical coffee shop with a great variety of drinks and pastries.At least for my visit they used to go containers for dine in orders, which I find a bit wasteful.The pick up spots for drinks and pastries are different, unmarked and quite far apart, which I find a bit confusing.“
“Our barista was very very friendly and helpful. It was an absolute joy of an experience that I dream about at night. My wonderful barista made me feel at home and reminded me of my own mother with her flowing ponytail and lovely demeanor who died in a car accident two years ago. It is safe to say I will be coming back!!!!“
“Overall I’m really fond of this place- for everything Except coffee & boba which are ok but not to my particular preferences.Arepas are absolutely delicious & not a menu item one often finds in this region- highly recommend! Matcha smoothie is yum, my friend loved the Tiger chai. Ive had very good salads from here as well.All outdoor seating, service is generally friendly & super efficient.“
“Randomly found this unassuming place in a shopping center. Everything we've tried has been outstanding, and they'll do a half order of most things so you can try even more. Service was great and the wait went faster than they said. Shout out to Andrew, it was like he could read my mind. I'll definitely be coming back.Kid-friendliness: Separate kids menu and they'll do half orders of anything“
