I love the vibe of this place! People were all sitting and getting their work done - some having coffee and some food. The servers were very polite and chilled. I want to go back and try their avocado toast! On a weekday morning, this place was buzzing:) read more

The coffee was pretty average, we went there just to be able to work somewhere. They have one outlet only, and the place has too little sunlight for my liking but it was fine, there's plenty of space to sit down and work, and it seems like many people go there to work. It's pretty cozy, but nothing spectacular. The barista was friendly and efficient. Nothing outstanding about the coffee, ambiance, or service, decent place, good to work. read more

Delicious food, nice ambience! Love the Venezuelan food! Chai tea is the best! I'd love to bring my work in and this place makes me focus while I sip on good drinks! read more

Quick service, very fast and casual with lots of nearby seats. Got the cami's arepa and it was decent. The green sauce was very flavorful! read more

Love this spot! They have the best chai tea, iced or hot. My favorite is the Tiger Spice Chai. I love it hot and cold, but there's a slight nod to hot. If you can't do regular sugar, they have an Orca Spice Chai (hot or cold), which uses sugar free sucralos. As sugar free drinks go, it's still tasty. As for eats, I alternate between the breakfast wrap (pico de gallo added) and the empanaditas (two are beef and two have fresh cheese). I've definitely ordered the wrap more, so I guess it's my favorite. I love that it comes with a small fresh fruit cup. And after I eat the half for breakfast, I can have the other half for lunch. As for the empanaditas, although I enjoy both kind, there's an obvious nod to the beef. They come with three delicious sauces. If you're going to dine at a Venezuelan restaurant, why not try the empanaditas. I doubt you'll regret it. I've also had the avocado toast, the croissant, the waffle and the scrambled egg (added side of bacon). Not once have I been disappointed. Here's What I Think... Stop by any of the seven locations to enjoy a quick bite and a nice cup of tea. read more

The chai and coffee were decent, but nothing spectacular. 3 stars are really weighing for the cool ambiance and great customer service from staff. Maybe we needed to try something different to get a better experience. With so many options downtown, it's hard to say I'd go back. read more

I love Coupa Cafe! I'd recommend going for a hike nearby at the Stanford Dish and then heading over for a nice cup of coffee and breakfast. I love that the menu is so expansive, and that there are a ton of options to choose from. This is also great if you are going with friends and family. I would highly recommend the avocado toast or any of the baked goods. The coffee is always super fresh, and the storefront vibe is cozy and welcoming. read more

Good cafe to work from! On a Sunday evening plenty of tables were open, even ones with outlets near them. I got the Oven Roasted Turkey Panini and it was good! Surprisingly light bread, and it came out in decent time (they give you a buzzer to pick Up your food when it's ready). There's steady wifi heat so I worked for a couple of hours with ease, and there's enough music and conversation from other patrons around you that it's a nice cozy ambiance for focusing on work. Would be back! read more

I stopped by for a lunch meeting and tried Venezuelan food for the first time. It was such a pleasant surprise. The café is located in a business complex, so parking can be a bit tricky around lunchtime. I ordered an entrée and it was really tasty with a generous portion. It's a self-service setup: you place your order at the counter, get a buzzer, and then pick up your food, utensils, and water when it's ready. After you're done eating, you take your plate to a station and scrape off any leftovers. It's pretty straightforward. Prices are reasonable, and they do suggest tip options when you pay. I also tried the passion fruit pudding, which reminded me of panna cotta. It was absolutely delicious, and I'd definitely come back just for that. The space was clean and had a nice crowd during lunch. Overall, a great spot for a casual and tasty read more

It was a nice cafe and I did love the ambiance. The service was good and it was an overall enjoyable experience. I had the matcha and split a chocolate croissant and it was good but I have had better. Definitely a nice cafe to go to but nothing extraordinary. I have tasted better matcha. Still a cute place to stop by though. read more

Cozy cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. We stopped by during our visit to Palo Alto and saw that there a lot of people drinking coffee and tapping away at their laptops at the cafe on a weekend afternoon. It gave me such college campus vibes and we decided to check it out. Got the spicy maya hot chocolate and a chicken chipotle quesadilla. The hot chocolate had a light spicy kick and the quesadilla was simple but tasty and more importantly crispy. It came with some pico de gallo which I liked but then it made me want some guacamole and sour cream to go along with it. The cafe stayed busy as people came in and out to order or pick up to-go orders. They have an app so you can order online ahead of time as well as collect rewards. Eco friendly as well as a lot of the items are in compostable packaging. read more

Time to get chocolate wasted! If you're hankering for a bit of high quality chocolate with that espresso, you are in for a treat at Coupa Cafe! Located primarily along the peninsula, Coupa Cafe boasts a classic coffee infused menu with a chocolate twist as well as some truly adult coffees mixed with a bit of liqueur. The decadence of their dark chocolate, however, is the absolute reason why I crave this place and whether you're in for a hot cup of cocoa or some caffeinated concoction, you'll have your taste of chocolate at the ready. Also on the menu, you'll find food to satisfy that stomach of yours alongside the delicious drink you've ordered. I didn't get to try the food during our quick pickup as we had other dinner plans but I just can't wait to come back to enjoy a bite out of those pastries, burgers, panini, salads, crepe, and tacos. The mocha I got was steaming hot, rich in chocolate, and creamy with its freshly steamed milk. The portion was just right for the subtle amount of sweetness you're getting from the dark chocolate. Through their mobile app, you'll be able to steadily earn reward points for each purchase redeemable to apply on your bill. For your birthday, they also give out a free drink to make your birthday that much more pleasant. Overall, Coupa Coffee is perfect for that lunch break, early afternoon meal or happy hour but just as good for any old coffee run. I wish there were more locations on the east bay but for now, anytime we find ourselves on the other side of the bay and need a pickmeup, it's time to grab a Coupa Coffee! read more

I have gone to Coupa Cafe Mountain View over the years and always have a positive experience whether I dine in, grab a coffee and go, or pre-order and pick up. I love the atmosphere, high ceilings, and cozy seating. I like the outdoor seating options as well. Parking is fairly easy and lots of ungrounded parking when needed. read more

Slow and nonchalant service waste your time right off your face at lunch in Palo Alto. Ok I overreacted. Sorry.

Haven't been to the restaurant but this food was delivered. The Capresa Panini was delicious even though it wasn't hot. Got a side of salad with it. It was mainly arugula but it was delicious and fresh. The pain au chocolate croissant was good. The chocolate was so yum. Cannot comment on service and ambiance as I didn't visit the restaurant read more

I was in Palo Alto on a beautiful day and needed a spot to work, grab a drink, and enjoy a light bite. This café seemed popular, so I decided to give it a try. The ordering system is very convenient. You seat yourself, scan the barcode, and your order is brought right to the table. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the empanadas were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the strawberry matcha latte, which unfortunately missed the mark. The strawberry flavor reminded me of medicine, the boba pearls were inconsistent, and the matcha itself was overly thick and hard to drink. Overall, the vibe, convenience, and empanadas make me want to return. I hope the drinks improve. That would make the experience so much better. read more

I had a midterm the day I was heading back to LA so I knew I had to lock in at a cafe with WiFi somewhere. Coupa Cafe was recommended a lot on the Stanford subreddit, so I decided to take a look! There's lots of great seating for working and studying, so it's probably for the better that I don't go to Stanford, because otherwise I'd probably blow all of my money studying at cafes. I got the sugar-free chai forgetting that "sugar-free" means fake sugar, so that's on me. It's a premade mix so I'd probably stick to their coffees here. read more

I came here on a Saturday morning brunch with a group of people wanting to practice our French ! There was quite a lot of outdoor seating, which was nice as I brought my family maltipoo along. The inside of the cafe also looked really lovely, and one of these days I will have to just go and sit inside. The food came out relatively fast, and the service was quite busy during the time of day that I went. The coffee I ordered tasted okay, but the savory crepe I got was suprisingly very tasty - especially the dough ! I will have to come back one of these days - would recommend ! read more

I had the veggie crunch wrap for delivery with a side of vegan cabbage slaw. The wrap was interesting- the way it was cut most of the tofu ended up on one side while the other side was mostly veggies, so one half was really good while the other was kind of bland. The vegan cabbage slaw was pretty good. Decent amount of vegan options on the menu. read more

Got the cowboy salad! Recommend heavily to red onion lovers, there was a lot of it in there. I liked the dressing as well; it didn't drown out the taste of the rest of the salad. Also really liked the variety of vegetables in it, and everything was very fresh. Generous portion of chicken as well, which wasn't too dry. read more

I came to Coupa Cafe on a Thursday for lunch, a little after noon. The cafe wasn't packed to the brim, but there were many people sitting at the tables doing work or studying. There were only a couple of people in front of me in line, and I was able to order within 5 minutes. I ordered the breakfast wrap, but Coupa has a pretty large menu covering breakfast items as well as lunch items. It took a while to get my order, and I did notice that someone who had ordered the same item after me had gotten their order first. Nonetheless, I enjoyed how the breakfast wrap came out fresh and warm. The wrap itself was not the largest portion, but the ingredients were fresh. Meshed together, it wasn't anything extraordinary, but it did serve well as a reliable breakfast wrap -- a typical one you'd expect. Again, not bad, but nothing out of the water. Overall, Coupa Cafe has a cute vibe that can be enjoyed whether you're looking to be productive or just looking to relax and eat. They have a pretty comprehensive menu, and I'd love to try some of their other breakfast items next time. Looking forward to future visits! read more

I really enjoy their chai , the food is well priced. Service is excellent. Would come here again

Came by to work here for a bit today-- I live nearby and have always wanted to stop in for lunch. Unfortunately the food was pretty bad, and I wouldn't eat here again. I ordered the turkey panini and it was pretty disappointing all around. Way better options nearby for lunch. The ambiance and service, however, are great. I would come back to just get a plain coffee and work for a bit, as the location is great and they have a lot of tables so it's not hard to find a spot. Overall I'd say it's a great working spot but not so much for food! read more

I'm happy to say Coupa has really improved their service. Love coming here for healthy food, meeting with friends or work colleagues, and the maya hot chocolate. Would love to see this open even later on weekdays. The ambiance is definitely still very much a locals scene. For us locals, it feels like home. Pro tip: Try the maya hot chocolate read more

The coffee here is good, they have quite a wide selection of beverages. The desserts in the refrigerator looked appealing too although I didn't get anything other than the coffee here. They have some boozy coffee options which seemed interesting! The inside was dark and very casual. Not a very uplifting cafe to sit and enjoy. I personally prefer a brighter, well lit cafe with refreshing space to work or hang out at. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon while walking around downtown, honestly I wish I kept walking. We chose this restaurant as they it looked like they had good brunch, salad, and coffee options. I get that salads are ~$20 these days, but I do expect some abundance of leaves in there and a decent amount of protein. My salad portion was so small, barely the size of a fork squared. My coffee was mediocre and came out lukewarm, which meant it had been sitting for a while. And the service was nonexistent. We sat down, scanned the QR code, and ordered food from our phones to our table. A friendly nod or acknowledgment when they were putting the food in front of us would've been nice. Not going back again. read more

Coupa Cafe - Large Cappuccino & Palo Alto Chopped Salad with chicken - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Such a cute cafe. Came here as part of our food tour. Parking is easy inside a parking garage. They don't have servers. You order up in the front and get a buzzer to pick up the food. We ordered: - BACON CLUB PANINI: bacon, turkey, avocado, baby gems lettuce, cheddar cheese, tomato, garlic aioli - good - EMPANADITAS: gluten-free artisan handmade four venezuelan fried mini empanadas, two ground beef & two fresh white cheese. Comes with 3 sauces. These taste like cornbread empanadas. The beef ones are very good. Cheese was ok. - COUPA BURGER: angus beef, caramelized onions, bacon, romaine lettuce, cheddar cheese, tomato, side of fries - good sturdy burger. Love the pile of caramelized onions. Stacked with bacon. They don't skimp. - BREAKFAST CREPE: scrambled eggs with gallic mushrooms, avocado, Gouda cheese, and guasacaca. - my favorite dish. Super garlicky! Garlic fans will love this dish! - CARAMEL MACCHIATO: love the strong coffee flavors, but should the drink be a little sweeter with caramel flavor as I didn't taste that? - SPICY MAYA MOCHA: didn't taste this, but seems to be one of my cousin's go to. Good atmosphere. We were lucky to get there right before the crowd. The place was packed! Definitely will be back. read more

Hopping place with a lot of people on their laptops even on a Saturday morning. The breakfast tacos were delicious with the pico, perfect. Would get again. The only thing I would possibly switch is the tortilla. Just regular. The avocado toast was no good: fresh avocado but too much salt. The salt overpowered the dish. The bread was not great either, hard edges soft soggy middle. The Smith burger was delicious and the side of fries masterful. read more

Came here with a few coworkers for a quick coffee break. Not my favorite place to go, but it's close to the office. Plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your drink. I ordered a Medium Cafe Au Lait ($5.05). The medium is more like a small at other places. Cashier was not the friendliest. Price is on point for Palo Alto. read more

Coupa Cafe - Medium Cafe Au Lait - $5.05 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Coupa Café has a cozy, energetic vibe with plenty of options for different diets. Nice spot to meet up or get a little work done, but my experience with the food was mixed. Ambiance 4/5 Good atmosphere and a comfortable setup. The music was a little loud for casual conversation, but not overwhelming. Food: 2.5/5 (Just for the Capresa Panini) I ordered the Capresa Panini -- mozzarella, tomato, arugula, pesto, and garlic aioli -- which sounded fantastic. But when it arrived, the bread was barely warm and the cheese wasn't melted! :( That surprised me because this is labeled as a panini, and by definition, a panini is usually grilled and pressed with melted cheese and warm fillings. This felt more like a cold sandwich on toasted bread... If this is intended to be served that way, then I think it would help to rename it so expectations are clearer. That said, this rating is just for that item. I've had other things here I enjoyed, and the overall vibe -- plus the thoughtful follow-up from the owner -- left me with a positive impression of the place overall. Thank you, JP, for the kind response -- no need for a gift card, but I really appreciate the follow-up. I'll definitely be back for the crepes and coffee. read more

I asked for a glass a water with my purchase of some fruit. They charge for the tap water. Seriously?!

I've been going here for several years and blown probably hundreds (oops) on their food and drinks. There are plenty of coffee shops in downtown but this is my go-to when I want a cozy, warm space to catch up with a friend and get some work done. It's not perfect but it checks enough boxes for me. Coupa's Spicy Maya Hot Chocolate is far and away their best drink. When frothed right, which it usually is but sometimes not enough depending who's making it, this is the perfect cold weather beverage. Creamy, sweet, and the tiniest bit spicy. I usually get mine dairy-free and the consistency is still great. I've tried the coffee beverages here as well, but would recommend other shops for a latte or Americano. I don't normally order food here, but the chicken chipotle quesadilla, chicken chipotle panini, and carne mechada panini are the ones I go for when I do. While they're not the cheapest, they're good for a quick bite and come out pretty quickly. I don't get the pastries or desserts, since I've been underwhelmed by those in the past. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with heaters. Indoor seating is usually filled up on any given afternoon, so best of luck. There are skylights in the back of the cafe so you can get some natural light. They also play music but it's not overwhelmingly loud. I'm pretty sure the employees know my face by now, and the ladies there are really friendly. They do somehow manage to spell my name wrong every. Single. Time. Last time I was Mararette. I've also been Margat and Margrette. Spelling is hard. Occasionally they forget to make my order, but they're apologetic when it happens and I can look past that. This Coupa location is such a classic, outlasting so many other establishments that have come and gone. I think it's here to stay for a long time, and worth a visit despite its shortcomings. read more

I like Coupa - all its locations - primarily not for its Venezuelan specialties, but for its crepes - they're really good! - and its "marron" coffee, which is basically a strong and creamy and really nice latte. This location thought stands out for me, because they also have what they call "boozy coffee", and their espresso martini in particular is one of the best I've had! read more

It had a slight sweetness to it but definitely still maintained its matcha bitterness. Would definitely order it again. read more

This is a popular, small, local coffee chain that has a few locations in and around Palo Alto. The coffee is pretty good and they have some different drinks which are usually pretty good. Today I had the iced Spicy Maya Mocha and the Breakfast Wrap with no tomato. The food is pretty average, but it's fresh and not bad. They initially gave me the wrong drink but corrected it quickly. There are also grab-and-go options available in the case like croissants, muffins, pudding, etc. There is free wifi, and there is street parking (not on Ramona, but on University or the surrounding streets) or in the underground garage next to NOLA. The ambiance is good for working or catching up with people, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I used to go this location a lot, but less and less because of the quality of food and price. We ordered salad and avocado toast. traumatic experience. It's only a piece of bread and thin sliced avocado. Nothing else! I paid $15 for this. Avocado toast needs to be high protein (egg, cheese, etc). Salad was also lettuce mainly. Nothing special. read more
