A cozy, cute cafe by the library with an amazing non-profit model. I will always support places like this.

stopped by this café on a Friday morning for a quick breakfast and ended up sitting outside and working for a while. The setup is very straightforward—you grab a table first, place your order at the counter, and the food is brought out to you.
They offer quick breakfast items like pastries and a variety of coffees, along with a few brunch-style options. I ordered a hot mocha, a slice of banana bread, and a ham-and-cheese pastry. The banana bread was excellent, with a pleasant crunchy element inside that made it especially interesting and flavorful. The ham-and-cheese item wasn’t a classic croissant but more of a breakfast pastry, and it was quite good.
The mocha, however, didn’t quite hit the mark for me. While I could taste the chocolate, it was noticeably on the sweeter side. I probably should have asked for less sweetness. That said, I’m sure their other coffee options are better suited to different preferences.
Overall, the café has a charming vibe. It’s located right across from a library in Palo Alto, where there seemed to be some community activities happening, which added to the atmosphere. Good food, a relaxed setting, and a pleasant place to spend the morning.

I think this place really encapsulates what a community should be. They work to empower everyone while providing great food and great coffee. Whenever I am at Mitchell Park library studying for a midterm or final, I always depend on Ada‘s to keep on push pushing me forward. The mentors there are great as well. I hope they can recover their stolen cart.

Best cafe on the area! We visit often after the park or library. All the staff are amazing and friendly. The food here is next level and the coffee is sublime. Bring your patience as, like many amazing places, it can get busy. Love the mission of the cafe too. All around, wonderful place.

Found a lovely little cafe by the library while stopping into town to get my phone repaired. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The empanadas were so good, I ordered twice!

Just went to this place for breakfast and service was bad from the get go. Manager was busy chatting while we waited. Asked some one about the restroom and he referred mr to the same person who was busy chatting. Simply felt uncomfortable with the service and left. We are going some where else where new patron are appeiciated.

I love this gem! It's my safe space. I've been coming here for years when I want to get work done, and when I just feel like I need to have nice people around me. The team here has seen me at my best and my worst, and at all times, have been geniounily intersted, and made me feel welcome without judgement.
The space itself is cozy and sweet, and the scones are so good!
I went to Ada's yesterday and loved it. The cashier, Don, had such a great attitude and personality and was focused on ensuring I got what I wanted. The chocolate chip coffee cake was delicious as was the frittata muffin. Granola to go was a nice touch as well. Very friendly atmosphere with options to sit inside or out. This was a great end to a Sunday bike ride!

Not sure why it has such insane reviews and called the best cafe, I tried the hot chocolate with friends and no one liked it. Very bland, hardly any chocolate taste, and watery, same as if I had made using a hot chocolate powder. Even if the cafe is pretty and people are kind hearted, I would come again for my drink
