23 Best Coffee Shops in Palo Alto

“I REALLY ENJOYED THE FOOD....IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS AND THE PRICES WERE EXCELLENT“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Nice place and nice coffee“

“I'm a first timer definitely will be back“

“The cardamom knots are awesome! I think maybe most people don’t know what they are so maybe they don’t sell as well. Call them like “Swedish Cardamon Knots” and I’m sure they’ll fly. The burnt honey latte is great too.“

“They are on Too Good to Go, and I won a bag. I got a duck salad and pastries. I looked at the salad and I was not sure about tiny pieces of bright tomatoes with fatty slices of dark duck meat, feta and chunks of dried figs and I can’t remember all the ingredients but I ate it with Spanish olive oil and organic balsamic vinegar. It was good. I think the tiny triangle cuts out of the edges of tomato slices were well-thought-out because they were bright and flavorful over the earthy cheese, meat and figs. The duck was more of a charcuterie taste. I thought the fat would be wet, but it was dried or smoked or something. It had a flavor similar to a charcuterie chorizo without the spices. The pastry was a cinnamon spiral executed in the French style of layered extra-thin pastry dough. Crispiest crunch outside and chewiest on the inside.“

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“

“I first discovered Philz Coffee while visiting my husband's workplace, where there was a Philz on campus. Since then, I've visited just about every Philz location throughout the Bay Area, and it has become my favorite coffee shop.

The coffee and pastries are consistently excellent, but what really sets Philz apart is the people. Every location I've visited has had friendly, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming staff who make every visit enjoyable.

I'm temporarily living in another area now, but every time I return to the Bay Area, my first stop is always Philz. Ironically, I'm currently living somewhere that's supposed to be famous for its coffee, but honestly, nothing compares to Philz. The quality, the atmosphere, and the people keep me coming back.

I can't wait to move back to the Bay Area in a few years so I can once again stop by Philz whenever I want.“

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

“Hands down the best French pastries outside of France! Beyond.....🇫🇷“

“I tried the breakfast sandwich and it's on focaccia bread! Its soooo good it changed my idea of a sandwich. The staff is so helpful and kind and really pushed to make me feel welcomed which was great since I was dizzy from a blood draw. Being there definitely felt like a nice break in the day.“

“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.“

“Aunt Tea Jenny is a lovely spot with a cozy atmosphere and a great selection of teas. The drinks were fresh, flavorful, and prepared well. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. A nice place to relax and enjoy a good cup of tea!“

“Great place - superb coffee! Enjoyed the warm atmosphere and the exceptionally friendly staff!“

“My sister and I had lunch on July 28, 2025. The French fries are absolutely the best. Crisp with rosemary scattered on top. Two Ceasar salads, one with chicken and one with wild Pacific prawns. My sister said the chicken was cooked perfectly and had good flavor. The problem was with the salads. The dressing on the salad had no flavor at all. Who ever made must have forgotten the flavor ingredients. My prawns were cooked perfectly but no seasoning, just no flavor. Not sure what happened yesterday but just no taste and no seasoning of the dressing and prawns.“

“Starbucks, only better. 🤪“
