stopped by this café on a Friday morning for a quick breakfast and ended up sitting outside and working for a while. The setup is very straightforward—you grab a table first, place your order at the counter, and the food is brought out to you. They offer quick breakfast items like pastries and a variety of coffees, along with a few brunch-style options. I ordered a hot mocha, a slice of banana bread, and a ham-and-cheese pastry. The banana bread was excellent, with a pleasant crunchy element inside that made it especially interesting and flavorful. The ham-and-cheese item wasn’t a classic croissant but more of a breakfast pastry, and it was quite good. The mocha, however, didn’t quite hit the mark for me. While I could taste the chocolate, it was noticeably on the sweeter side. I probably should have asked for less sweetness. That said, I’m sure their other coffee options are better suited to different preferences. Overall, the café has a charming vibe. It’s located right across from a library in Palo Alto, where there seemed to be some community activities happening, which added to the atmosphere. Good food, a relaxed setting, and a pleasant place to spend the morning.

My new favorite cafe!! Super dog friendly and welcoming atmosphere with lots of outdoor seating ◡̈ Highly recommend coming here! Mitchell park is right next door so took some goodies to go as well and ate at the park.

We went to JLS Middle School for a soccer tournament, and the kids were hungry, so we stopped by Ada’s Café. The place was very clean and well-organized, and the cashier was polite. The kids ordered hot chocolate, lemonade and quiche, and I got a croissant. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. They have a very cute atmosphere. The prices were reasonable.

My husband and I stopped in this morning for a quick bite, we were not disappointed! My yogurt parfait was wonderful, and he had an egg frittata which he said was very good. Customer service was great, and we will surely be returning. I also love the values that this cafe stands for. Thank you!

Best cafe on the area! We visit often after the park or library. All the staff are amazing and friendly. The food here is next level and the coffee is sublime. Bring your patience as, like many amazing places, it can get busy. Love the mission of the cafe too. All around, wonderful place.
