★★★★★ 5.0 Daisy Chavez Serrano · Mar 2026

Enjoyed my coffee! It’s pricey but good quality. The ambiance was really lovely. There was lot of places to sit to read, study or meet with friends. A good selection on the menu as well.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Anna Shapovalova · Jan 2026

This is definitely a pricier café: three desserts and two drinks came to about $50. Most of the seating is upstairs, with one large table that seats around six and several smaller tables and chairs. It’s not a loud, social spot for hanging out with friends, nor is it especially quiet for studying or working; rather, it falls somewhere in between and is well suited for small group meetings or reading a book. The interior is fairly plain, though the upstairs window and the outdoor seating area are quite pleasant. Free Wi-Fi is available. I ordered a flat white, which was very well made—smooth, flavorful, not bitter, and served at just the right temperature, with lovely latte art on top. It also came with a small glass of sparkling water. Their special dessert, of which they make only one o

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ritu Madhavi Vellanki · Jan 2026

Came here for my birthday and was super happy with the experience! I had a vanilla latte and a regular latte, and both were really good. The service is amazing, space is cute and cozy, with two floors - upstairs is great for working or studying since it's pretty quiet. It is on the pricier side (about $8 per latte), but the quality and vibe make up for it. Nice Palo Alto spot if you're looking for good coffee and a cozy atmosphere.

★★★★★ 5.0 Debisree Ray · Feb 2026

I visited this coffee shop on a Friday afternoon to meet some peers and discuss over coffee. The place was almost full, mostly with students and people working, which created a lively and collaborative atmosphere. We found a table upstairs, which felt comfortable and ideal for conversations or focused work. I ordered a cortado, and it was absolutely excellent , well balanced and beautifully prepared. My friends also enjoyed their drinks. They offer a selection of pastries and snacks, although we didn’t try any this time; I’ll definitely explore those on a future visit. Parking can be a bit tricky since it’s located in a busy downtown area, but there are nearby public parking spots that offer a couple of free hours, so finding a space is manageable with a little patience.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Autumn Cao · Jan 2026

Cafe experience left much to be desired. It took almost 10 minutes for latte to be prepared. The atmosphere of the cafe was lackluster… it was freezing and there was barely any seating. The white/beige aesthetic makes everything feel cold and corporate rather than a warm/cozy cafe. My drink was OK, but the prices are steep! And it’s only available in a 12 oz size. Will not be placing this on my cafe rotation.
