Suggestions for Café near Downtown North, Palo Alto

The Taste Sheriff • April 30, 2016Great South American cafe in which you can enjoy some down time while working/reading. Great beverages and desserts. Try the oatmeal cookie.

Douglas G. • November 1, 2017Get there early as they are often sold out of the best pastries (Kouign-amman!) well before the end of the day.

Raj • March 14, 2021Coffee is excellent, Italian style. Anything chocolate is pretty awesome too.

Brett B. • October 21, 2018Great people, coffee, food. A great place to stop into before getting on Caltrain!

Alice F. • June 22, 2015Conveniently close to Stanford. Love their grass jelly. Ask for varying levels of sweetness based on your tastes. No ice = more tea!

Zeeyah J. • August 11, 2023so good. pistachio and walnut baklava are the best.

Priscilla H. • July 12, 2011This is an enjoyable cafe to relax at with friends or alone, with a large terrace and "European/California feel". Delicious, fresh food, great desserts and lots of choice. Well situated, next to Keple

Nate F. • October 24, 2015grilled steak quesadillas with avocado, salsa, and sour cream

EArchitect • May 15, 2015This place is only good for beverages. Food is mediocre at best. Hamburgers & fries taste like they're freshly thawed. Soups are bland. For better food, walk 5 minutes to Nexus Cafe at Clark Center.

Shireesh • November 7, 2012Very nice cafe

Anne R. • April 7, 2017It's always a great sign when they know it's your first time there! Sam greeted me warmly. I'm sure I'll be back... for coffee, diet Snapple, and the "protein puck."
