Really good ham and cheese croissant!!! Coffee was great! The decor was giving old lady, 1980's vibes.

I was in town for a baseball series. My Air BnB was around the corner within walking distance to this little gem. Amazing place! Loved their coffee and food but most of all, they were amazing humans! Thanks for being such gracious breakfast hosts to this Georgia girl every morning and making that caramel macchiato for me. When I’m back in town, I plan to visit again!

Some places never really leave you. This café is one of those places for me. I have many warm memories connected with this café. We used to live nearby, and when my kids were little I would often walk here with a stroller, sit down with a cup of coffee, relax, and have a small bite. I also came here many times with a friend and our kids. Later we often stopped by with my husband while our children were attending their sports classes nearby. What makes this place special is that they roast coffee right inside the café. There is a large roasting machine, and you can smell the fresh coffee as soon as you walk in. The café also has shelves with books that you can read while sitting with your coffee. The walls are decorated with paintings and interesting details that make the place feel warm and cozy.

You can tell when you walk in that this is a well-established fixture in Palo Alto. The breakfast menu is limited, but the food is made fresh and the ingredients were whole and healthy. And the coffee is very good, which makes sense since they advertise coffee from around the world and have a big roaster sitting off to the side. The veggie omelet had a good number of veggies and was accompanied by a bagel and a cup of fruit. Although I was hungry I couldn't finish it all. They are generous with the coffee, and I also needed a to go cup for that. The seasoning on the omelet was pretty tame, but they provide salt and pepper, along with Tapatio got sauce to spice it up for those who like a little more flavor. The counter service was courteous, and attentive, and our orders were correct.

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.
