18 Best Cafes in Palo Alto

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“We love this place for breakfast. Great omelets, freshly made. Great assortment of bagels, fruit is fresh cut, too. Small assortment of baked good, but all the best ones: blueberry muffins, almond croissant, chocolate croissant, etc. Excellent coffee and staff is wonderful!“

“The lady who works behind the counter is extremely rude and unprofessional. Very snobby and no manners, she laughed in my face multiple times, and since then, I have not returned. She ruined the whole experience. I emailed and never got a response back. I'm not quite sure if this behavior is acceptable. But she had a gross attitude, a bigger, heavier set woman wearing glasses with hair in a bun.“

“Frambrini's Cafe is upgraded and it is amazing! Extensive menu and big-portion dishes. I like the beautiful pink rose latte“

“Awesome place to enjoy good coffee, pastries and cosy atmosphere!“

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

“Just discovered this little gem! So conveniently located near the research park. Very clean with a nice parking lot. They also cater parties on site, mostly for nearby businesses. They don't mind if you stay a little while between meetings, and there is a lot of seating.“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

“Tried the signature tea with chia seeds and really enjoyed it! The flavor was clean, refreshing, and not overly sweet — just the right balance of tea and fruit. The chia added a nice texture without feeling heavy like boba. The shop itself is bright and cozy, with a relaxed vibe that makes it a nice spot to hang out or take a short break downtown. Service was friendly and quick, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. Overall, a solid boba stop in Palo Alto — I’ll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!“

“Tony and his team are simply the best. Regardless of the event size or type, Tony Caters is the absolute best choice. Their presentation is wonderful all around, from the food itself to the stunning displays and professional staff. They ensure guests truly remember how wonderful the occasion was because the food deeply connects and fulfills everyone's palate. It is the kind of dining experience that keeps people talking for days to come—highly recommended!“

“I attended a Chemex Kenz coffee tasting and love their Hambala. Their love and passion for coffee translates in the quality of their beans. I’m glad I can also enjoy their brew at Sue’s Cafe in Downtown Saratoga.“

“Korean Beef! <3“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“They have all the product just like your in Paris shopping“

“This is a Starbucks placed in the middle of the hospital. I hide out there until my husband is done with his treatment. I actually got a grande latte for four bucks. It's probably my favorite place to be on those days. Nice people...quiet surroundings. It doesn't get better than that

Kid-friendliness: Just coffee and sandwiches. Also water and soft drinks“

“Zoom Caffe, highly recommend! 5 � coffee and great eats!“

“We’ve been to a lot of afternoon tea venues; Tea Time excels in the quality and variety of teas and foods. We started with the fun exploration of sniffing the sample tea jars in the showroom (there are dozens each of black, green, and herbal teas) to each make our selection. We’d pre-ordered High Tea with our phone reservation, and was happy that they will individually tailor the sandwiches to vegetarian, vegan, and other preferences too (while most tea places don’t). The quality and variety of savories and sandwiches was outstanding. The scone and chocolate cake were delicious. My tea was so good we bought a bag for home. Very kind and friendly service as well.“
