“The Absolute Best Coffee in the Bay Area!My husband and I are total coffee seekers whenever we travel, and finding Kaizen & Coffee was the absolute highlight of our trip to San Mateo! It might be the smallest coffee shop we’ve ever visited, but it packs a massive punch. The modern black-and-white interior is incredibly clean and inviting, and the baristas are wonderfully friendly and helpful.We stayed for a week and literally came back 5 times—that’s how good it is! We tried three of their signatures: the Black Sesame Latte, Ube Latte, and Miso Caramel Latte. The Black Sesame was our absolute favorite, closely followed by the Miso Caramel. If you love perfectly balanced drinks, trust me: these are exceptionally delicious, never overly sweet, beautifully creamy, and topped with the thickest, perfect foam.The biggest selling point for us? Absolutely zero chemical syrups. They make all of their bases and syrups in-house, which is exactly what we look for in high-quality specialty coffee. We live in Arizona and are already wishing we could clone this place and bring it home. We cannot wait to visit the Bay Area again just to come back here. Don't skip this gem!“

“I've been wanting to go to this place for a while now. Everytime I search for a place with best coffee near my work, this always pops up. I finally had the pleasure of going here, and it wasn't too busy.
The person who took my order was super nice and helpful in narrowing down items to try. Everything here is made to order, so they do recommend using the app. Especially if you are in a hurry.
I ordered:

1. Vietnamese coffee with salted cream: Surprisingly, this was a little sweet to me. I do recommend sipping it, instead of drinking it through a straw to get the full flavor.

2. Croffle w/ nutella: This was crispy and chewy. The nutella gave it a messy yumminess

3. Egg, cheese, and bacon croissant: This was delicious and surprisingly it didn't have that greasy oily feeling. It is very hearty.

4. Perfect green smoothie: My co-worker loved this and found it very delicious. Perfect balance of all the items.

I look forward to coming back soon and will pre-order next time.“

“I love Adeni Chai here. It’s a warm, friendly and family space to relax and play games. I often go for chai and study sessions. Servers are nice. It’s a good place to catch up with friends and there are multiple other restaurants in the area.“

“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.“

“was an amazing vibes lovely crew coffee was so good!“

“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.“

“Groovy Goose is such a cute place! The coffee is great and the staff is genuinely caring and welcoming. A huge plus is that there is plenty of parking on the back side, which makes visiting super easy. Just keep in mind that the number of tables and seating area inside is pretty limited. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“Jen and Heliosare are truly outstanding—always warm, friendly, and efficient. They go out of their way to make every visit feel welcoming and easy. Their positive attitude really stands out and makes a difference. Starbucks is lucky to have them!“

“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.“

“Favorite place: We always enjoy attending all the events at this wonderful cafe. It's a very cozy place to listen to great concerts or lectures. Thank you.“

“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.“

“Eating lunch here right now with the family on a weekend. The service is very friendly and speedy. The space is also very clean and open. The place is kind of tucked away in office buildings but there was still a good amount of people here on a weekend. The kids loved the pond area outside to run around and look at the ducks. The food is also very good. Lots of light and heartier options. We got masubis, loco moco and bibimbop bowls along with some drinks. We’ll definitely be back especially since the kids love it here.“

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

“Fiero Cafe is a great spot for a casual but satisfying meal. The pasta here is authentic and delicious — the bolognese especially stands out, rich and full of flavor. Portions are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They also serve omelets, which make a nice lighter option if you’re not in the mood for pasta. Overall, a cozy place with tasty, well-made dishes that feel genuinely Italian.“

“Excellent Turkish coffee, they had some delicious Chai tea as well. The selection of lattes are incredible. A must experience for those who want extraordinary Coffeee and Tea experiences.“

“Nice staff. Great menu and lovely outside patio for dining“

“Great food an Service. Friendly staff and generous portions.“

“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!!“

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

“Fritters are great for a treat“

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

“The food was delicious—the chicken and the salad were a real treat. But I want to highlight something that really stood out to me: the customer service provided by the young woman at the register. She is fantastic—kind and very polite. I hope her bosses reward her and don't let such a gem get away. Nowadays, we are so used to poor treatment from customer service staff that we’ve come to view it as normal, often failing to appreciate the excellent service provided by the few good ones left.“

“The coffee was good and so were their mochi cakes. My only complaint is that all the seatings were taken by people with laptops working and they look like they’ve been there all day. There was no space for regular patrons to just sit and enjoy their coffee. I’d probably wouldn’t come back for the atmosphere.“

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“

“Nice place and nice coffee“

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

“I really liked my seasonal coconut cloud latte (iced only). The top was overflowing with coconut foam. It was pretty tasty and not too sweet.

The cafe is beautifully decorated. Haven't tried the eats but would be back again! I just wish there was individual conchas for sale besides the gigantic one and the ice cream sandwich.“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“

“Super good restaurants with healthy and tasty thai food. They do accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions. They could make Jain food for me and also adhere to it strictly even when I order from Doordash and call and let them know about my allergies and Jain religious dietary restrictions. The front desk person is so friendly and helpful.“

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Highly recommend Jason Cafe! Our family stayed in the neighborhood for a week and ate here four out of our seven days. The service is super fast but never feels impatient, orders always 100% correct, hot, and delicious! Hands down the best waffles I’ve ever had, but everything is good. Servers are amazing, efficient, and friendly. They were really nice to my child who has Tourette Syndrome, never made him feel weird. Also the place is super clean—nothing is sticky or needs to be wiped down—they keep it immaculate.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“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.“

“Best tasting gluten-free desserts I’ve ever had! I love the gf brownies!“

“The owners are awesome and I'd definitely come back again! :D“

“Very good place for morning coffee“

“I previously thought the Mlle Colette in Palo Alto was perfection. As a reading cafe, a weekend morning at the Atherton location easily takes the cake. Seating is outdoors, but that's not a major limitation when we live with 3 seasons of summer. The caltrain rolls by occasionally, but instead of being grating, it's easy to romanticize in the midst of trees and birds and a clean, well-curated space. There was ample parking, too, for those who stress about such things. And of course, the cafe food is consistently buttery and delicious, if you're in that kind of mood.“

“I love the love sign in the Golden latte! #Nice!“

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

“Cutest candy shop ever! We love coming here.“

“I come to this place almost everyday, the staff is friendly and the coffee is good! Every Sunday, they make delicious breakfast burritos, tacos and pupusas until 11am. They are delicious! This Cafe is hands down one of my favorite local places to buy my snacks and coffee.“
