Great outdoor patio which frustratingly is not supported with a wifi extender 🤷‍♂️

Everything’s great. WiFi is too slow. Maybe that’s by design.

Great and fast service. The design is minimalist which I really like. I especially recommend trying Fizz.

Great coffee, very full. Unlikely you'll find a seat.

This is a coffee chain I’ve seen in New York City as well. It’s not as massive as Starbucks, but for a chain, it’s actually quite good. I’m generally not a big fan of chains, yet this one has become a recent favorite.

The Palo Alto location is especially impressive , spacious, airy, and beautifully designed, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I visited on a weekend evening. It was busy and lively, with people networking, working, and just hanging out, but I was still able to grab a table without much trouble.

I ordered an iced mocha, and it was terrific. I’m very particular about mochas, but this one was perfectly balanced , mildly sweet, smooth, and made with whole milk. I also tried a small baked treat that was somewhere between a cookie and a slice of cake ; almost like a caramelized, slightly overbaked pound cake. It was buttery, crisp on the edges, and not overly sweet, which I appreciated.

Overall, I love the vibe of this place. I’ll definitely be back.

Great coffee shop in the old movie theater spot. Blue Bottle is one of the Bay Area coffee brands that blew up. Coffee is excellent and the vibe is good.

The ice cream in the affogato was almost sorbet-like; sweet and light on the creaminess!
