About Blue Bottle Coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee is a vibrant spot with a European-inspired ambiance, perfect for working or studying. The café offers a standard menu with options like vegetarian bread and non-dairy milk alternatives. The dark chocolate almonds, made with oat milk, remain a popular treat. With indoor and outdoor seating, customers can enjoy the atmosphere, although it can get busy, and sometimes tables might not be cleaned promptly. The coffee is freshly brewed with rich flavor, and the staff is pleasant, often sourced from the nearby Stanford.

The café, which used to be a Borders bookstore, features a beautiful Spanish-style old school build with low ceilings and cavernous interiors. Customers appreciate the setting for leisurely conversations or preparing for meetings. The NOLA, a standout drink, has received praise as an excellent tasting coffee beverage, even better than chicory coffee from New Orleans. Additionally, the café regularly offers delicious vegan baked items, and the spiced NOLA, along with options like orange blossom matcha and rose matcha, are also highly regarded. The café is clean, and the washroom is among the cleanest, making it a comfortable choice for visitors. Parking is available nearby.
