Cafes near Los Altos Hills

“The staff at KJs are super friendly and always helpful. Now that we are back on campus it's great to go and get coffee there again. As staff, I have often gone there for water, and they very pleasantly fill up a glass. Can't wait to start ordering coffee there again!“

“Great lunch choices. Healthy and unique. Desserts are the perfect combination for your coffee or latte. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location is easy for access with designated parking. Will repeat for sure.“

“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!!“

“I'm rating this place so high because I think they deserve a better rating. I typically go here for the spicy popcorn chicken and a large milk tea with boba, to go. And as far as meeting the quota goes, they do it better than most places I've been to -- a fair balance between price and quality. Plus, pretty much all boba places that also serve popcorn chicken I've been to don't serve milk tea in that size! They have a sign that says "cash only" but that's only referring to their counter orders as opposed to their tablet orders -- so don't get confused by that. I definitely want to come back in the near future, although they close fairly early.“

“Very friendly staff that gave delicious recommendations and gave me a rundown on Turkish coffee for my first time! I'm a huge coffee guy and the Turkish coffee here was pretty good, pastries were great though! There's relatively limited seating but it's also great for some grab and go bites! Will definitely come here again to this semi-hidden gem :)“

“As an update, it's worth calling out how much the current owners have improved this shop. It's cleaner, brighter, the service is fast, etc. They clearly care and are putting in lots of effort and attention. It's always had good beans and coffee, but everything else is just better now. Top notch place, check it out!“

“My FAVORITE coffee shop by far. Cutest interior, the vibes are so good. I love their lattes and seasonal flavors (hazelnut and lavender are both SO good). The acai bowls, coffee, and baked goods are all top notch delicious. Baristas are so nice and friendly, perfect coffee spot.“

“We go here whenever we want to eat lunch in a lovely garden setting on a beautiful day next to a gurgling fountain. Our table had an umbrella so we were perfectly shaded. My medium cooked hamburger on a brioche bun and wedges of potato fries were so good I ate it all even though I'm supposedly keto and don't eat carbs typically. The desserts are beautiful and good but the best dessert by far was the ginger creme brulee with a delicate texture (not thick and pasty) and it wasn't too sweet at all despite having a turbinado or demerara sugar sprinkling in addition to the usual caramelized sugar coating. The custard wasn't sweetened it seemed so the balance was perfect. I ordered an English breakfast tea to go with it and the teapot that it came in was lovely and added to the garden ambience. Perfect for an early Mother's Day lunch which we were having.I don't think we would order the bread pudding again though. It was fine but on the dense side and was the only dish we didn't feel good enough to finish but the other two desserts were completely devoured. The third dessert was the molten chocolate cake. It was not the best molten chocolate cake but it was the most beautifully plated with enough ice cream and we very much enjoyed it.There's indoor seating but I can't imagine going to this restaurant and not making the most of the beautiful outdoor seating in a garden setting.Don't forget to shop at the little shops next to the cafe before and after lunch such as the gift shop which benefits the Stanford children's hospital and is 100% volunteer run so be sweet to the volunteers in there. It's always nice to wander all the cute boutiques there as well as the art gallery. One of the artists is always there at the desk and their work will be outside the gallery on the easel.Parking: Unless there's an event (and in good weather there's often a wedding or a private event going on), parking is easy in either of two private lots. The larger parking lot is two ways through an entrance that only one car can go in our out of at a time but it's never been an issue yet. Just a little unnerving because you think you're going the wrong way but it's the only way in or out of that bigger lot.“

“Lovely coffee shop situated in a walkable and pleasant plaza. Their matcha was really good and the barista did a great job adding some mint at my request. The breakfast sandwich was awesome with the house made hot sauce.A friend got a coffee with the house made whipped cream and it was so good.The space inside to study or work is small but there’s abundant sunny space outside.“

“A very unique, Korean-flavored inspired cafe! The injeolmi cake was very light and spongy, whereas the black sesame cake was super dense on the bottom and complimented by the soft cream on top. The madelines were very thick and the red velvet one had cream cheese filling inside. I also got the yakgwa latte, which tasted exactly like a sweet potato! The texture was thick too. Would recommend coming here for a special day, but everything is quite pricey!“

“Incredibly friendly atmosphere. Perfect for studying and sipping on a warm drink. Staff is friendly and genuine. Food is served in HUGE portions and you can’t beat the price. Have been here countless times!“

“Very cute place. Quite spacious. Very busy when I came as it was a Sunday morning peak breakfast time. Very family friendly environment. Obviously popular with locals. Service is good and prompt although you have to order at the counter. Expect a small queue at peak times like Sunday mornings. There’s some outside seating also which must be great in the warmer months. I came during a cold spell so couldn’t experience it. Parking is available and there are some places to lock your bike although they’re not easily identifiable.“

“I came on a Monday 12:30 lunch time - this is a favorite local spot for a quick bite and catch up. The food and espresso are above average. I ordered pesto chicken foccasia panini with 8oz flat white espresso. Rosemary infused Focassia was soft on the inside and beautifully crusted on the outside with evo. Pesto tasted fresh and homemade. Mozzarella, chicken breast and tomato slices were evenly thin to create a perfect sandwich. Espresso was on point!Cafe is marketed as a place for peace, hope and community and the vibe accurately matches claim. Employees are genuinely happy to serve. Owner Matt is a pleasant, talented baker and invested in building the community by providing a creative space. Wall art supports local artists and handpicked to create an experience.Overall, a must stop over if you’re visiting in Palo Alto or Menlo Park area.“

“Bagels are tasty but small and expensive. The lox was good enough but again the sandwich was pricey for the amount of bagel and lox you’re getting. It’s the only bagel spot around so it’s got us hooked there. Two bagels (only one lox) cost me $16 and change.“

“very great service, one of the best I had, will repeat“

“Good food, open on Saturday! Good service.“

“Indoor seating has reopened. Always the best coffee in town, by far!“

“A great BYO Asian bowl spot on Stanford campus! The place is pretty popular with students, so there tends to be a line around lunchtime. Bowls are around $12, all meats are the same price. There is no seating inside, just grab and go, but there are some nice seating areas right outside.I had a salad bowl with half tocino and half panko chicken. Loved the texture and flavor of both meats, and the variety and amount of vegetables I got in my bowl. The tocino pork had a great sweet and savory flavor and the panko chicken was crispy and tender.Topped it off with the sriracha mayo sauce.Would definitely return to try their other protein options!“

“Met up with friends at the cafe here a few times. So far, plenty of free parking in the lot across the street. For take-out, you step aside and wait after ordering, or for dine-in, a server will find your number to bring the food to your table. Either way, the wait can take quite awhile. I've had ham and cheese small bytes; baguette was hard and too salty. Turkey cranberry and arugula sandwich was decent. Coffee is good. Strawberry Dragon Fruit drink is refreshing, light sweet. Nice area to walk around Google campus!“

“I had to place orders for an event i coordinated and the food was perfect. The food was prepared in the time selected and the service at pick up was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend for great tasting food, friendly service and perfect for planning orders for big events.“

“I came by while I was in the area and ordered the cloudy strawberry, 25% sweet. It wasn't cheap, but you get 20% off your first order so with this discount I was able to get it for $5.54. It was definitely sweeter than I expected for 25% sweetness, but it was yummy. I liked the cheese foam and strawberry bits. Overall, not bad since at least the drink size is pretty large, and they have an okay-sized menu. They have indoor seating and a crane machine if you want to try your hand at winning a stuffed animal.“

“Had to wait for a table, service was fast, and food was delicious and so many good things to choose from in their menu. Loved the breeze board and country fried steak.“

“Love it! Fresh food and great service!! Please support this local business!!“

“Used to frequent this cafe when I lived in SoCal so I was happy to see them open up in the Bay Area. Ube flan cupcakes were just as good as I remember. Moist ube cupcake and a creamy flan topping. They had a buy 4 pastry get a free hibiscus calamansi cooler which was a sweet deal. If you're an ube fan, this place is a must.“

“Cute store with outside seating. Impressive macrons are good little desserts for those that don't want too much sugar. The outdoor seating provides a nice place for hanging out.The inside of the store could be a little more tidy and organized. Maybe consider hiding all the supplies from the customers' view.“

“Great Korean food! I like that I can build my own binimbap with salad. I also requested French fries with cheese and homemade kimchi since I liked it when I tried from a food truck before. Sooooooo good! Not on the menu, but worth asking for.“

“Great food and diverse menu selection. The Chilaquiles were delicious, very authentic Mexican taste and the French toast is to die for.“

“Great place, easy to get to, and a beloved favorite in Menlo Park. Full of students - Stanford and High School too, lots of students are wait staff.... And come back for years as workers and food-lovers Beautiful large outside patio, with umbrellas. Also limited indoor seating. Get in line to go to the counter and order, take your number and get your seat. Not sure what to get, ask the friendly counter person, they will help you choose... Take a look around - Keplers Book Store is next door also a local favorite. Great food, lots of variety, salads, pasta, desserts, get a tasty cookie and relax. Liquids? Great coffee, and loads of other selections like Beer, Wine It's on El Camino Real... and CalTrain has a station / parking lot behind the collection of stores. There's Parking Lot underneath the complex, because street parking can be difficult. Live Music played some nights, that's great fun but get there early. Go see, you'll love it.“

“I got the Deluxious mocha and a tofu arepa and my date got the spicy Maya cocoa and the plantain arepa. The drinks and food were exceptional and came fast. The service was warm and attentive, and the place looked beautiful, clean, open, and inviting.Vegetarian options: Lots of the food is traditionally vegetarian and even more is made vegetarian with the use of tofu.“

“Great location and feel, nice staff, what a brilliant place to chill and work or have an informal meeting.“

“Absolutely adore this place! From the delightful staff, delectable food, to the charming atmosphere, it's a complete package!Plus, their mimosas are unparalleled, even for someone like me who doesn't usually indulge. I've been a loyal patron since day one, and my go-to dish has to be their breakfast tacos! ?“

“Delicioso todos. Really enjoyed service and the food.“

“Took my daughter here for a mother-daughter lunch. Excellent. She loved her grilled cheese, made with cheddar not American cheese (which is ew according to her). Popovers and consommé are always top notch. Great service. Elevated lunch but not crazy fancy or stuffy.“

“Loved their soufflé pancakes! Chocolate was the favorite. Tasted like chocolate mousse. Matcha was very good n I’m not a matcha fan. Go early n make reservations. Staff very nice n efficient. Can’t wait to go back.“

“The service is exceptional super fast and considerate. The food though is a little okay. The popcorn chicken has actual popcorn which sounds innovative but the combination just didn't work. The food was definitely in the smaller portions and the prices were definitely more expensive. Super great study place though.“

“There is no Cafe right now just a snack bar upstairs where you can buy candy chips sodas water and other snacks. Also computers and books upstairs on the upper level floor. Mostly gifts, books and clothing on the ground floor. School supplies and discount items on the mezzanine level and the ground floor is textbooks, Diploma Frames and medical goggles. They definitely have some nice stuff. A fifth star could be made available if they working Cafe was serving coffee upstairs. Okay Dave?“

“I arrived here for my free bday coffee. I chose the wake up call.. hold lemme try it real quick. Hmm ok ok I am feeling lil woke. It's got an espresso shot in it so it's meant to do the trick. Yeah yeah I am feeling it, not bad. I like it.“

“kids love to eat crepes and there are delicious there“

“Took a wrong turn and happened upon this shop. I've been craving a bagel, so I decided to stop. I planned to buy just a bagel, but they offer many sandwich options and a decent number of vegetarian options (thank you!). I was greeted, ordered and on my way quickly on a Friday. My Mushroom Spinach Eggwich on Sesame Bagel was tasty and exactly what I was hoping for.“

“I love Coupa Cafe’s iced latte! I think their latte is the world best! Strong and aromatic coffee. It makes me feel happy.Pastries are also good. The only thing I want to tell is all the menus are expensive… If it were a little cheaper I would eat it every day.Besides, their waffle with lots of fruits is crispy and tastes good! Their boba is not good because it is not chewy “

“A nice neighborhood breakfast place. I wanted something homey and this fit the bill. We were greeted at the door and they arranged a table for 5. We requested coffee and after a little while, we ordered food. We ordered an eggs benedict, eggs with ham and bread, blueberry pancakes and corned beef hash with eggs, with side of hashbrowns. We all liked the hash browns, it was crispy. The other food was fine and we filled up. Service was nice and they checked when we needed coffee refills.“

“Paris Baguette in Cupertino is my favorite location. My Church friends and I have our weekly Bible Quiet Time here once a week. The place is always bright, the ceiling is high, and above all always clean, so I feel good. Even if you sit for a long time, you don't even notice, and the people who work are kind and make you feel good. The coffee and tea is always good and wonderful selection of different food is always a treat.My favorite sandwich is the Caprese Baguette which I take home for a night snack. Thanks to the team and mgmt for treating special each week…“

“It's a small cafe in the Stanford medical building. I don't think you come here for gourmet food or anything. You come here if you're a patient and hungry or if you're medical staff in need of breakfast or lunch.I've stopped here a few times after some of my medical visits to Stanford. It's clean and while they have gotten rid of most seating due to Covid there are still some seating spots along the wall. And you can sit outside.Their scones are okay. I've gotten blueberry and cranberry and I think the blueberry one tastes better. I'm usually starving when I come here though so it's fine.They also have a breakfast sandwich all day but I haven't tried it yet. There's also some grab n go sandwiches and drinks too.Their mocha is not bad although they do charge extra $0.50 for decaf.“

“Yessssss what a wonderful flame!!! I stop there nearly everyday on my way home!! Dinner and a beer in the garden!!! What more could you ask for!! ♥️“

“This is a warm and cozy neighborhood coffee/breakfast/hangout place. At a quiet corner off the busy street. Regulars come here every morning having a cup of coffee and bagels and read newspaper here. Super nice and cozy vibes. Everything is at unbelievably reasonable prices. If you just need something nice and simple and just hang out, this is the place. People are super nice here. We always occupy that outdoor table with our dogs.“

“Very tasty boba, well made with great portions.The employees were very nice. Not very much sitting or standing room available. Will have to sit outside somewhere around the public seating closer to parking area. You will likely need to order at the kiosk that does not take cash.“

“JIMMY V'S!!! One of my FAVORITE cafes to visit on Stanford Campus - they serve the most delicious breakfasts, lunch foods, and smoothies / shakes / drinks. Many of their foods that I have enjoyed include: Athlete Omelet, Norcal Scramble, Huevos Rancheros, Stanford Panini, Chicken Chestnut Salad Melt, and Olympian and Cardinal smoothies! Everything is so on point. All their omelets, paninis, sandwiches, smoothies, everything. I also always come back to the Olympian smoothie, which features apple juice, strawberry, banana, raspberry, peach, and low-fat yogurt. The people at Jimmy V's are literally some of the friendliest and warmest I've ever met - I always see them smiling and making conversation and connections with everyone. The inside of the Sports Cafe is lively with a strong community feel and Stanford school spirit, and it is also busy with students, professors, athletes - you name it! The red walls feature quotes like "Passion is Your Greatest Asset", "You Are Never Wrong To Do The Right Thing", and "Teams That Eat Together Play Together Win Together". Jimmy V's also has multiple HD TVs all around the cafe with different sports channels on. In addition, Jimmy V's has a huge outdoors seating area as well, with both sun umbrellas and natural shade from the large green trees. Jimmy V's is one of the best cafe's ever!!! I have loved everything I've ordered from them so far, and I can't wait to try more. Jimmy V's is also the perfect place for any kind of gathering - with friends, with professors, with sports teammates, or on your own! I am not surprised that it is one of the most well-loved, frequented, and beautiful cafés on campus. I would definitely recommend enjoying food from Jimmy V's!!!“
