“I tend to forget to take pictures sometimes. But by far, my favorite bagel spot in the bay. Warm toasty bagels. Delicious sandwiches. Always great customer service. You want a nice thicccccck bagel sandwich you go to docs. The rolled hotdogs and hotlinks are delicious, too!“

“Love the layout and ambience. The coffee was great. With @mike and @gordon“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“My favorite place. I grew up in Palo Alto and Peet’s was the local high end coffee to grind and serve via French press. Philz pour over coffee is sublime, hot, comforting and the staff are always wonderful. While many folks order online, I prefer to do so in person and usually have a short wait to receive my coffee. ☕️“

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

“Starbucks has good AND inexpensive ☕ if you bring a mug! It's $0.50 for refill ☕ at the Stanford University Starbucks if you bring your own mug AND the customers and staff are exceptionally charming! Get here early though! The trail from Los Altos to Stanford University through the back of Gunn High School is exceptionally therapeutic and the Starbucks ☕ at Stanford University definitely tastes better than other Starbucks, and everyone so far is AWESOME! I normally avoid Starbucks but the Stanford University Starbucks is on par with the Narita Airport Starbucks in my opinion for service and charm. ☕☕☕☕☕☕❤️“

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

“Best coffee in the Bay Area according to me.“

“Covour coffee is a hip coffee shop where lots of local and nonlocals go

Parking is a bit tight, but I saw a cybertruck navigate it so should be doable

Overall great vibes, good coffee, helpful staff

Their matcha was on point and the burnt honey latte was good and unique but a little too sweet

Definitely recommend!“

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“Great coffee. Classic Dunkin’ Donuts. The service was awesome - very efficient server. In a strip mall that is run down so not the ideal location but it doesn’t impact the product - everything you’d want out of a Dunkin in any city. I used the Dunkin app which works well there so no waiting.“

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

“Delicious food in a pleasant setting with great service. Recommended.“

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

“Super nice team working Saturday , glad we got in just before closing! Nice if you were open just abit later!“

“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!!“

“Had a great experience at Philz Coffee in Menlo Park. I ordered the turkey sausage breakfast sandwich, a chicken and rice burrito, a Mint Mojito, and an Arabic coffee — and everything was honestly delicious. The breakfast sandwich was warm and satisfying, the burrito was surprisingly filling and well-seasoned, and both drinks were spot on. The Mint Mojito was refreshing as always, and the Arabic coffee had a bold, smooth flavor. On top of that, the workers were super friendly and welcoming — you can tell they really care about customer service. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“This place is absolutely incredible!!! The food is beyond delicious - especially the Korean dishes, which are so good they’ll leave you speechless. The service is wonderfully friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I also love that they have outdoor seating; it gives the restaurant such a pleasant and vibrant atmosphere.

If you go, you must try the Korean tteokbokki(spicy rice cake 떡볶이) korean fried chicken, and the kimchi fried rice , all highly recommended. Even the coffee is amazing here!!!! they serve it generously and it tastes fantastic.

Overall, a perfect spot for anyone looking for excellent food, outstanding service, and a great vibe!“

“EXCELLENT and nothing short of that! If i could i would have LeVant’s kanafe everyday of my life!! It is unreal! Service is very very good, the delivery is always on time has perfect packing and presentation. Thank you LeVant for repeated excellent experiences.“

“The owner runs a great business and the staff is wonderful. Thank you.I double checked and you are correct. I have the wrong location. It’s the new store front under construction at the corner on the left side of the arch. I was upset and didn’t clarify I had the right business. A mistake I hope I can rectify with a new 5 star review“

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

“Full disclosure: I am a shameless coffee snob. This shop boasts charming atmosphere, wonderful pastries, and most importantly, CONSISTENTLY delicious coffee. I have now had 3 lattes and a flat white here from 3 different batistas. The coffee has been perfectly balanced each time. Kudos to the manager for exemplary puck prep training 😊“

“Nos gustan todos los sabores, estamos un poco adictos a las bebidas.“

“Cafe Zoë is an incredible little community space that serves delicious beverages, food and entertainment. Kathleen, Zoë and the staff are truly amazing and provide great service. They are community minded and love how they support the arts as well.“

“Lots of bright, natural lighting. Big open space with lots of seating with access to power outlets. Clean. Three individual all-gender bathrooms. Friendly staff. Drinks come out perfect every time. Good place to work. Some people take personal and work calls though, so I recommend bringing noise canceling headphones if that bothers you.“

“Buenísima atención. Ideal para realizar trabajos, mientras disfrutas de una bebida.“

“The food was really very tasty. The staff were very humble and courteous. Food was served in an excellent way.“

“Just stopped for a cortado, which was really nice both in terms of temperature and flavor. The staff was also very helpful and accommodating with my crutches. Music was pretty good, and wifi solid but no outlets. Still good enough to get some work done.“

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

“IAbsolutely love this cafe! I always come here for the Havana cappuccino - it’s so delicious. Today, I tried their salad for the first time, and I have to say, this place is a hidden gem for salads. The signature avocado salad is incredibly tasty! unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere, and I keep craving it. It feels healthy and fresh, too. All the cookies are great as well. I’m so happy this cafe is close to where I work!“

“Food was amazing and I’m particular about my breakfast. Country fried steak and eggs with biscuits and gravy. Hash browns and side of toast (extra). Wife had pancakes. Want pleasantly surprised at how fresh the food was. Waiters was a delight. Atmosphere was nice. Temp was a LITTLE chilly inside.“

“Starbucks, only better. 🤪“

“Please fix your a/c! I'm a local and I've noticed that it's been 2 months. Some business is lost because people who want to sit and work (me) with their delicious coffee, can't because of the temp. I have to go to a farther Peets. Otherwise, great Peets and great customer service. 3 stars for atmosphere = no a/c. I would love to come here again.“

“I am visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this bakery. I purchased the fresh strawberry tres leches. Oh my goodness. It was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time! So so delicious. Highly recommend!“

“The Redwood is a secret gem in downtown Palo Alto. I'm a sandwich for lunch guy, and what I've loved about the several that I've had is that Chef Julien takes excellent base components -- like bread/rolls, meat, cheese and veggies -- and adds extras that make it taste especially good. My wife is a soup and salad person and she's always been very happy with her food. We're so grateful that a friend turned us on to the place.

I'm addition, we recently had Chef Julien cater a dinner for us. He was especially thoughtful to manage the menu around dietary restrictions of guests. Everyone loved the meal, from start to finish.“

“I thought this place was adorable , I was disappointed when I couldn’t tip with the clover tap to pay option … I feel like when the service is great and we want to tip our servers and it’s not an option it’s a downfall to the company. Why would they take our opportunity to thank the workers away from the register ? Odd if you ask me .. 1 star to the company for taking away our gratuity option !!!“
