Willis Lounge 219 Ayrshire Farm Ln, Stanford Lounges

“Full of ambience, and worth the trek into the Stanford heartland. Don’t be fooled by the quiet neighborhood, everyone was up for a dance and shooters at the bar. An 80s synthwave classic played every now and again. Def going next year.”

“Phenomenal food at a student-friendly price! Had lunch with the wife today at this magnificent establishment and it was terrific. This cafeteria is part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and is apparently where all of the b-school eager beavers refuel on sustenance. ? I particularly appreciated the, oh-so-clever, names that accompanied each of the food stations. ? Haha, you can totally tell this is where all of the MBA people hang out! Definitely get lunch here if you're in the area!”

“Cute cafe on Stanford’s campus. I loved the ample outdoor seating options! I got a burger which came with chips. It was good, but the burger patty could have used a little more seasoning in my opinion. The burger was also a bit pricey for the portion size you are getting, but that’s Stanford generally, so do not hold them against it. Staff is very kind & accommodating.”

EVGR Pub & Brewery 716 Serra Street, Stanford Pubs • $

“The EVGR Pub, which is on campus of Stanford University, is the great equalizer for the Palo Alto Area. It is a mecca for all ages, stratification, education, and diaspora. In addition I would challenge you to find better prices for pub-like food. My advice is to use alternative transportation as parking is challenging. Stanford is best experienced on a bike or walking 🚶‍♂”

Such a perfect spot because they have a little bit of everything, so everyone could find something they liked. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was casual and fun, and it was the perfect stop during a beautiful day exploring the Stanford campus. Definitely a great place to grab a bite if you’re in the area!”

“Stopping here for coffee while walking around Stanford was a really enjoyable experience. The location itself feels special because you are surrounded by one of the most impressive university atmospheres in the world. Even a simple coffee break somehow feels more inspiring when students around you are studying, discussing projects, and casually living inside such an academic environment.

We joked that we probably are not smart enough to take a class here, but we were definitely smart enough to stop for coffee and admire the people who do. The students around the campus genuinely give the place a unique energy. They seem focused, talented, and motivated, and it is hard not to respect the atmosphere they create.

The coffee was good, the service was smooth, and the location made the whole visit much more memorable than a regular Starbucks stop. Five stars for the coffee, the campus feeling, and the chance to briefly pretend we belonged at Stanford.”

“IAbsolutely love this cafe! I always come here for the Havana cappuccino - it’s so delicious. Today, I tried their salad for the first time, and I have to say, this place is a hidden gem for salads. The signature avocado salad is incredibly tasty! unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere, and I keep craving it. It feels healthy and fresh, too. All the cookies are great as well. I’m so happy this cafe is close to where I work!”

“Service only assisted when chased down. The food was okay, nothing special and perhaps overcooked. Please , please wash your windows! The view is one of the best parts of your inside facilities and it was covered in a smear of dirt and streaks. Quiet and available for a last minute Mother's Day supper with plenty of parking.”

“I will go out of my way to get their matcha cookies. They are VERY MATCHA. So good. They don’t skip out on the flavor here. Also will often run out of them.

I also like their ham+cheese croissant. It’s hella loaded and delicious.

Working out of here is a treat. Food service vibes 10/10 all around”
