We originally planned to visit another café for Sunday brunch, but the line was too long, so we decided to try this place instead, and it turned out to be a good choice, especially for healthier food options. There was no wait, and we were seated right away.

I started with freshly squeezed orange juice, which was refreshing, though I personally prefer more pulp. My friend ordered a chai tea latte, I’m not sure how much he liked it, but it looked okay.

We both chose the shakshuka, served with freshly baked pita and a side of greens. The pita was the highlight - warm, sesame-crusted, and straight out of the oven. The shakshuka itself was loaded with vegetables like zucchini and tomatoes. Having tried more traditional versions in Jewish cafés in Brooklyn, I’d say this felt like a Californian interpretation , still tasty, fresh, and healthy.

The menu has many wholesome options, making it a great spot for a lighter brunch. Parking in downtown Palo Alto can be tricky, but nearby parking garages usually make it manageable. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy healthy, relaxed brunch spots.

Stumbled upon Sprout Cafe as we were looking to have brunch in Palo Alto.
What a great place. Roberto seated us and helped us pick the right choices.
The service is superb, food excellent.
Made to look great- not only tasty.
Eggs were done perfectly, bacon perfect. Good amount of avocado- not just a slice or two.
Matcha and earl grey teas.
Will definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, and our server Roberto was extremely attentive and kind. It was a pleasure having him take care of us. He recommended an excellent Benedict for my girlfriend and was genuinely so nice.

The food was outstanding. I had the tuna Niçoise, which was fantastic and very filling. The Chelsea Benedict was also lovely. I almost wish I had ordered that instead.

Oh and we wrapped up with the cardamom coffee bun which was a real treat that I believe they bake in house. Good stuff.

10/10 would come again.
