22 Best Cafes in Palo Alto

“I highly recommend the coffee and dessert here. I had the best Turkish coffee I’ve ever drank in my life at this place. It’s also in a great location in Palo Alto. We got to sit at a table and enjoy our dessert and coffee. My daughter got the matcha latte which was also excellent. And my wife got a smooth black tea with mint.“

“It's a lovely and cute little spot to hang out and get tea, coffee or a snack. It's the coziest space in town and late hours are very nice.

One warning though, they don't allow laptops certain days of the week.“

“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!!“

“Great lunch choices. Healthy and unique. Desserts are the perfect combination for your coffee or latte. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location is easy for access with designated parking. Will repeat for sure.“

“Very cute place. Quite spacious. Very busy when I came as it was a Sunday morning peak breakfast time. Very family friendly environment. Obviously popular with locals. Service is good and prompt although you have to order at the counter. Expect a small queue at peak times like Sunday mornings. There’s some outside seating also which must be great in the warmer months. I came during a cold spell so couldn’t experience it. Parking is available and there are some places to lock your bike although they’re not easily identifiable.“

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

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

“American bubble tea! Nice!
The bobas/pearls are not big…hence not chewy enough.
I think… the best bobas I ever had are from Chicha San Chen cos they are really big and very chewy! I can even cut a piece into quarters…with my teeth! ?“

“Very well run cafe, with an extensive but not overwhelming menu. Delicious wraps, salads, coffee drinks, and smoothies. The clientele are mostly Stanford, HP, and Tesla employees/associates, as far as I can tell. Large indoor and outdoor seating areas, and even some fun games to pass the time. Stop in and grab a latte and the latest complimentary copy of a recently published book for promotional purposes. I recommend the Caesar wrap, and the french fries are delicious.“

“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“

“This is the go-to place for tea in the Bay Area. Want to sit down for a full English afternoon tea like Alice in Wonderland? This place has delicious scones and a charming ambiance. Want to buy rare and quality loose leaf tea in bulk from around the world? This place has real milky oolong (not the stuff artificially enhanced to taste creamy). Want to buy a fancy tea set for your home? This place has beautiful porcelain. Want to buy bubble tea to go? This place also has that.

Their pu er is fragrant, their lapsang has a subtle sweet note, and their oolong is perfectly balanced.

Best of all, they are knowledgeable about teas from around the world and will brew the tea correctly every time. The people are friendly, and the ambiance is indulgent. Perfect place for a book, a date, or a deal that needs to close.“

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

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“I came here for a school field trip. The trip was amazing and super fun. Basically we tested their new robot system, and it was really cool. After we finished, we fought each other (the other kids). Also, the cafeteria was great, the “vending machines” were well stocked, and overall I had a great time. I wish I could go back and relive that day.“

“Wow wow wow!Rarely in life do you find a business that is as delicious as they are kind!I have visited this bakery twice now and I can't get their kindness, delicious food, or amazing coffee out of my head!Parking can be a bit tough in this lot but its worth the wait! Upon walking into Manresa Bread your soul will be awakened by the smells of fresh baked breads and desserts.As you get lost in the smell of fresh brewed coffee it's time to order. Manresa Bread has 2 check out counters and no where to sit inside. Sometimes a line can form but it's worth every moment of the wait.The food is nothing short of exquisite. The 4 sandwiches on mouthwatering display also display little signs letting you know what has gluten and what has dairy. The wide variety of sweet and savory pastries is nothing short of droolworthy! Prices are average for the area and (in my opinion) worth every penny! If your lucky the owner will be working the coffee station. If this is the case prepare for the coffee that will make your day!!Saying that Manresa Bread serves the community is an understatement. The sheer number of people that feel like a special regular here is insane. I have personally seen the owner make people's drink while they are still in line! Knowing that they come in and always order the same thing. That small kindness and attention to detail really sets this place apart in a sea of bakeries.If you haven't visited Manresa Bread do yourself a favor and drive on over!

“Sandwiches, salads & valentines cookies are so good! Service was quick and plenty of tables to sit and they’re socially distant apart too!“

“We came here after rumble boxing. Ordered a protein shake with matcha flavor. I like that their protein shake tastes good. No weird taste at all. I also like that they indicate the nutrition fact of each item on the menu. It is a little bit pricy but this is Palo Alto. I guess the price is expected.

Parking: There is free public parking nearby.“
