50 Best Coffee Shops near Woodside

“Fantastic community based organization at a beautiful. Welcoming site!“

“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!“

“We had such a great experience stopping at Brew today. We were looking for good coffee and my fiancé noticed the excellent ratings, so we decided to make a trip up from Palo Alto.

The young lady who took our order was incredibly friendly and we started out with some excellent coffees, one of which was a Vietnamese type we had never had before.

Then the (extremely kind) owner brought out our croissant and bagel sandwiches. We both thought they were the best we had ever had....absolutely delicious! See the pics!

It was just a great stop. Kind people, great coffee, and excellent food....perfect! 😋😊“

“Sana’a Cafe – Redwood City

Loved it! The mocha latte was rich and smooth, and the Biscoff cheesecake was amazing. Cozy vibe and great service.

Thanks to Zaid and Tasneem for being so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!“

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

“Some places never really leave you. This café is one of those places for me.
I have many warm memories connected with this café. We used to live nearby, and when my kids were little I would often walk here with a stroller, sit down with a cup of coffee, relax, and have a small bite.
I also came here many times with a friend and our kids. Later we often stopped by with my husband while our children were attending their sports classes nearby.
What makes this place special is that they roast coffee right inside the café. There is a large roasting machine, and you can smell the fresh coffee as soon as you walk in.
The café also has shelves with books that you can read while sitting with your coffee. The walls are decorated with paintings and interesting details that make the place feel warm and cozy.“

“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.“

“Nice place and nice coffee“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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!“

“Very good place for morning coffee“

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

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

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

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

“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 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.“

“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. ☕️“

“During our last time in the Bay Area, one of our favourite coffee joint was Philz Coffee. Every single cup would be freshly grounded and brewed right in front of you. Also, there’s a signature of Philz Coffee known as Iced Mint Mojito where you’ll be amazed by the combination of mint, sweetness and creaminess that complements their freshly grounded and brewed coffee so well.

It was still just as good as we remembered!

This time, we had the

– Pork sausage and egg Breakfast Burrito ($7)
– Mint Mojito Iced Coffee ($7.1), Large Iced Creamy Sweet
– Twice Baked Almond Croissant Toasted ($5.25)
– Iced Honey Haze ($7.1), Large Iced Creamy Sweet, to-go

We also like the terms “sweet” for how you’d like the sweetness that ranged from light, medium to sweet and “creamy” for how much milk you’d like from light medium to creamy”. Together, “sweet and creamy” not only indicates the sweetness and milkiness of your coffee but also as a familiar way of ordering drinks from Philz Coffee...

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“right next to Draeger's and parking available“

“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!!“

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

“They're doing a good job, being small local stores - a nice diversion from Starbucks junk. I'm a latte guy and find their coffee to my taste (well, maybe not as good as I make myself 🤔). The pastry selection is fresh, not shipped in plastic wrappers them warmed like SB. And the place is pleasant and open with sitting inside and out.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“Red Berry Coffee Bar is such a gem! The avocado toast is absolutely delicious. Their matcha is also one of my favorites.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, outdoor spots are especially nice during the summer, making it the perfect spot to relax, work, or meet up with friends.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“
