19 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!!“

“I stopped by Oklava in Palo Alto for tea and baklava, and it was a wonderful experience. The tea was fresh and flavorful, and the baklava was absolutely delicious—perfectly sweet, fresh, and authentic. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy a traditional treat. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“Amazing neighborhood cafe. It's cozy, unassuming and well situated in a cute Plaza in midtown Palo Alto. The breakfast items are all delicious and well prepared, they roast their beans in house in a corner of the cafe and you may get lucky to be there while they do it, great aroma and a nice touch.

The place is run by a wonderful couple, they welcome their usual guests by name and treat the newcomers with much warmth and happiness. It is my happy place to go to go to start my day.“

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

“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.“

“Really great place to sit down and work. Not really quite but most people are using their headsets anyway. Food is pretty good and I agree with some others that the staff could be a bit friendlier.
I didn't need it, but having some tables with power supply would be great.
Anyhow, this place got marked as my future workplace favorite.“

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

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

“This place is great! They lean in to the real matcha and don’t over-flavor it, but still pair it with great fruit flavors and have a great variety of drinks

The sandos and the chirashi are also amazing! Wish I lived closer“

“4.5/5 overall! The Boba is so yumm here. Tastes different than the typical honey boba elsewhere. Their hot tea is nicely frothed instead of just microwaved in other tea shops. We love seeing their machine making boba.
One feedback: The toilet is often dirty or have no toilet paper. Something they need to visit every 2-4 hours to keep it clean and stocked. The owner is very sweet and attentive. ,decent cafe to hangout while sipping delicious tea, definitely recommended!“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“Korean Beef! <3“

“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 love coming here for lunch. I've found their specials, ranging from Korean yukgaejang soup to BBQ chicken pizza, flavorful and fun. Comparable to other campus/campus-adjacent options in terms of pricing but much better quality food and not as crowded.“

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

“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“
