jan hubertJuly 20, 2013This place is so popular they can't keep up with the traffic. We waited 15 minutes or more for our food and my eggs were cold. Coffee was good and strong, but that was it. They were overwhelmed.
James AndersonAugust 30, 2014Steve Jobs used to come here. Now, you'll probably find investors in deep conversation.
I don't even like tea but the elephant vanilla chai latte is heaven
No wifi on the weekends - perfect time to curl up with your laptop and a latte and actually get some work done!
AmandaMay 8, 2012What's with the baristas talking suggestively to their coworkers and making them obviously uneasy about it especially in Spanish. The employees should remember that customers actually speak it
Global HighlanderMay 5, 2015Prosciutto panini was excellent, but the pour over coffee was way too over roasted.
The spicy, soy hot chocolate is worth every penny. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate on the foam and stir to accent the peppery flavor.
Penguina IcelandJuly 5, 2014Great setting, nice for chiilin'. Food average, but good arepas. Coffee average - we didn't finish ours
Angela RodriguezJanuary 11, 2012If you come here a lot you get a free coffee or tea if you have a FiveStars card. FTW.- Simon JosefssonNovember 6, 2014Sit outside because AC inside is not very effective so when it is crowded it gets hot
Kirk McMurrayFebruary 14, 2013Try the Hoppy Ending Beer - Pale Ale from the Palo Alto brewing company... with such a clever (triple entendre) name! ;)
Bryan CalabreseAugust 16, 2010Follow @coupacafe on Twitter and watch for their whisper word specials! Also try the Empanadas ...they are delicious!
Great chai and hot chocolate. I don't drink coffee but I assume that is good too.
A ZOctober 22, 2017I'm surprised this place is rated so high. Not sure about food, but the coffee here was not even close to the rating. If you are an espresso fan - avoid this place.
They now sell Mexican Coke, in glass bottles. No more High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Johnny LeeFebruary 24, 2014Cool they made effort to accept bitcoin but their service is dreadfully slow and mistake prone
Ellis ChloeJuly 26, 2013Iced chocolate is yum but not worth adding whipped cream..theirs isn't that yum.
If you see Kevin Doerr, ask him to buy you a hot chocolate!
