Really tasty sandwiches and salads! They used to give you bread with your salad automatically but now you have to ask for it-kind of a bummer! I also like the complimentary lemon-infused water outside! read more

This is the place where I do not mind investing few dollars every day. First of all, they have the perfect small size $1 coffee and $1 chocolate bar. Real black coffee at that! Their coffee is not diluted; Thank you Coupa for waking me up to work! Their pastries, sandwiches and smoothies are also great....can't wait till I try a crepe! read more

The coffee is OK most of the time. There is one guy here though that makes a really good mocha, so I guess it depends on who you get. The food here is also decent. I like the Beverly Hills Chopped Salad and the Mozzarella panini. I only eat here when I'm on campus and I can't make it over to Ike's. I'm not sure why I'm reviewing this place though. They'll continue to do good business just because they're on campus and in front of the library... read more

This place is a little pricy, but that's par for the course on the Stanford campus. The quality of the food mostly makes up for the premium price. I am rarely disappointed in the food or drinks here. So far I have sampled several of the panini sandwiches, and I enjoy their texture very much--it's a nice mixture of crunchy and soft. The flavor is fairly good as well, though I would personally prefer more seasoning on the chicken. As for the crepes, I've had the smoked salmon (tasty, but a bit heavy for a crepe, and difficult to make it through the whole thing without getting bored of the flavor) and the dessert crepe with the bananas, nutella, brown sugar, and walnuts mentioned by another reviewer. I also found this (the "Coupa Crepe", I believe it is called) to be excellent, but I honestly got a little tired of eating walnuts for the last few bites. Still, it was very good, and the volume certainly left nothing to be desired. The crepes here are a full meal. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't speak to their coffee, but if you haven't already tried it, give the spicy hot chocolate a test drive. It's very rich, but extremely flavorful. You won't be disappointed (or at least I never am). It's worth the price. I also really enjoy the Elephant Vanilla Chai, and am looking forward to trying out their other chai offerings (the caffeinated ones, anyway). If you're in the area and don't mind spending a bit more than elsewhere on campus, I doubt you'll be disappointed with the Coupa Cafe. Spend some time with the menu, though, to make sure you get what you want. Given their extensive menu, the extra time to find your personal favorites is worth it. read more

As far as a place to get food on campus, this is by far the best place. How their make their sugar free Orca Spice Chai so tasty is one of those amazing mysteries in life. Highly recommend their garden salad with all kinds of fresh vegetables, goat cheese, and honey vinaigrette. Their rosemary chicken crepe is also delicious. Their sweet crepes tend to be a bit too sweet for my tastes (lots of nutella) but still a wonderful breakfast or afternoon snack. Overall I'm glad that this place is about a 10 minute walk from my building or else my waistline and wallet will definitely suffer. read more

Blood Orange Gelato Bar was pretty good

The coffee is not as good as Starbucks but the price is much higher. The food is ok for lunch but I would prefer other locations on campus. The only good thing about this store is the convenience since it is next to my office. The major reason I give such a low rate is that my order has been missed more than five times this month. They do not even say sorry when I keep asking them about my order. read more

I like Coupa Cafe's coffee. It's a bit overpriced, but what isn't on campus? I've been here probably a few dozen times, and have had prompt service - only once was my order lost somehow. Overall, good coffee and salads for a quick lunch break during a busy day. Just don't come during lunch rush, you'll be waiting forever. read more

Delicious fresh food on the Stanford campus. I got the Mediterranean sandwich but swapped the mozzarella with feta. It came with a lightly dressed side salad. For $10 it was a great deal! And despite the lunch rush, the food came in good time. I'll certainly be back when I'm on campus again! read more

Coupa Y2E2 serves fine drip coffee and good salads, for about average prices. The line is usually long and the food production slow. If you can, order ahead online and you'll save yourself a ton of time. Or, if you don't need a craft coffee drink, head to the grab-and-go station next to the Nexus cafe. The salads and sandwiches are the same, just premade so you can save the wait time. Also there is never anyone in line. The spicy Aztec hot chocolate has great flavor and is extremely rich. In a delicious way. The spicy chai is also nice. I enjoy the Beverly Hills salad, which has avocado and a asparagus and is a great combination of interesting flavors. Also, the staff is very nice. In general, this place is great as an at-work option. I don't think I'd go out of my way for it though. read more

I had decided to boycott the Y2E2 Coupa cafe due to a prior catering order and the horrible service I received then. I decided to give them a try again today for a quick purchase: banana and nuts. As most of you from Stanford may know, there's a cashier in front of the cafe and a cashier inside the cafe. As the 2nd person in line, the front cashier told me the cashier inside can help me. Great! But as I walked towards the inside of the cafe, I noticed that my banana was not looking too great. So I went back to pick another one. At that point, the person who was in front of me had finished paying. The two people in line were still waiting for someone. Well, I guess I'm next! I walked to the same cashier in the front and said "I guess you can ring me up then." She replied and told me they can help me inside. Wow, really?!?!?I spoke to the manager, Julio, who didn't appear to really care at this point since he was aware of my complaint from the catering service. Well, I returned to my office and shared my experience with my group ... Back to boycotting! Suggestions to all who read this - Go to Forbes next door. They have great food and amazing people working there who are always so happy to help you. I guess I have to thank Coupa Cafe for the bad service ... otherwise, I would never have tried Forbes! read more

I returned to Coupa, there are not a lot of good choices on Stanford's campus. As usual the wait was long for a to-go salad, about 15min, the salad was good, but the service is just what sends me. Why is everyone who works there so surly? read more

Food and coffee are great, but be wary of the order ahead option. Your order won't get processed until you arrive to claim it, so you better hope you don't have something time sensitive on your to do list, like clocking in. It happened the last 2 times I was there. read more

Ive been to all the Coupa Cafe on campus but the reason i keep coming back to the Y2E2 location is that i was given one of the best i mean over the top customer service ever from an employee. Not only did she remember my name the second time i came in, she also remembered my order. Wow how does she do it. She is the #1 employee at Coupa. Great cashier friendly who goes that extra step in customer service, who is now my favorite barrista. Keep up the great work Eva. Thank you Coupa for such an awsome job in hiring the best, as well as Julio for being a great manager and seeing it threw read more

The whisper words are great fun, but paying $2.50 for a apple chausson (which I can get at Mi Pueblo for $0.75) is a bit too much. $3.50 for a hot chocolate makes it a luxury item too. read more

I've been going to this Coupa for five years and I love it! My go-to is a medium spicy mocha, or a chocolate chip cookie/scone/brownie/poppy seed twist/palerma and drip coffee. The managers and cashiers are friendly and efficient. Cafe options are outstanding, sandwiches/salads are more slightly-above-average side. I've never been patient enough to get an arepa or full breakfast. read more

Coupa Cafe on campus feels like a high end cafe and not just another campus eatery. The staff is especially courteous.

Coupa on campus offers the same great food and awesome spicy mochas as off campus in downtown PA. I subtracted one star because my favorite arepa (the one with bean, and cheese, and cream) had cheese that wasn't as tasty as it is downtown (tasted a little sour). read more

Nice outdoor seating but avg. Cappuccino and breakfast items. Also, no wifi (unless you are a Stanford student/faculty).

I work in Y2E2 building at Stanford University and frequently use my Coupa Cafe card to buy food and drinks. There are two locations near me: one at Y2E2, and one at Huang Center. Coupa at Huang is smaller with fewer crowds, and it is a pleasure dealing with the young woman who cashiers there. Occasionally the lunchtime crowd seems overeager but she is unfailingly prompt, courteous, polite and professional. She is a great customer service asset to Coupa Cafe's management.

Food is ok, prices a little high, service just ok. Lately they've gotten kind of rude at the inside register. Example: I ordered a parfait and a latte. The latte came out and I waited a couple minutes for the parfait, which was right inside the cooler. I nicely asked the person closest to me if I could please get my parfait. She looked at me pretty disgustedly and told me someone else would get it (like I was supposed to know it wasn't her job). This is just one example of rude behavior from this woman and one other one. I could list more but instances won't to try to keep this from getting longer than it already is. Would give them three stars if not for the continued rudeness. read more

This Coupa cafe is very quiet, ideal for studying or for meeting up with friends. One star deduction because it is very pricey, but the food is delicious, and I especially love their "arepas!" read more

Consistently disappointing - food is sub par and the prices are absurd for what you're getting. Only thing I can recommend is the breakfast burrito, but it is inconsistent and not offered at all hours read more

I like the mocha at Coupa Cafe and oftentimes a beautiful foam image adorns the top of your drink. My one big complaint about this place is the slow moving line. There is only one cashier at all times and I think there really ought to be two. I know there really isn't room in this little cafe for a second cashier, but I really wish there was. If you're in a rush, this is not the place to go. read more

The sandwiches are supposed to come with a "side salad" but it is simply a pile of lettuce with some creamy mayonaise-y dressing. Just lettuce. The sandwich had hard crust that cut up the roof of my mouth, and there was little inside the sandwich (like Subway). Not going back. read more

Coupa Cafe has the best chai tea lattes! I love their elephant chai, like everybody else. I had their arepas, and they take a long time to make, but they warn you ahead of time on the menu. Their food is a bit expensive for my taste, but their drinks are amazing and the location in Y2E2 is so pretty. There is not a lot of tables to sit at, and it can get pretty crowded during lunch. I personally like the one near Green Library better, since it's closer to my dorm and has a more social feel to it, but this Coupa is a great addition to the engineering quad. read more

I pretty much only go here because it's a convenient place to grab a cup of coffee before class, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to come here. There is never anywhere to sit, and sometimes they are so unorganized that it can take FOREVER to get your coffee. It gets so packed sometimes, and the way the place is set up is that you pick up your coffee at the same place you ordered it. So you have a mass of students, professors, and visitors all crammed into a tiny little space either waiting to order or waiting for their coffee. Not a good set up. At lunch there is always a long line, and I just don't have the patience to wait a long time in line then wait more for my food to come out, especially when the food isn't that great. read more

Oh, Coupa -- now that we are parted, I dearly miss your spicy mochas (the perfect amount of spice heat, deep espresso flavor, and rich chocolate), your arepas (with unseemly amounts of goat cheese, so good), and mustard-vinaigrette dressed salads. So many good memories here! read more

the tiger chai and mayan mocha are awesome for the price! the savory veggie crepe made with buckwheat flour, fresh spinach, mushrooms and swiss cheese was pretty good. staff are friendly and service is great. ive seen them put freshly cut lemons in the water coolers and when its busy someone takes orders in line to speed things up. the area isnt as pleasant with all the construction at the moment. read more

I have come here many times before but today's service was the WORST. Not only did I wait over 10+ minutes for a chai latte but my drink was made with regular milk, after I specified I wanted almond milk more than 3x because I am severely allergic to dairy. The barista was unapologetic for his mistake and now I am sure I will never return to this Coupa. Would recommend any other coffee shop on campus over this one. read more

make sure to follow @coupacafe on twitter. their twitter specials are amazing, as in free latte/chai/pastry. the deals stopped for a while, but are back for at least the week. coffee is a bit stronger than peet's. would definitely recommend the chai or the scones. read more

Y2E2 building is very close to my office so at least one morning a week, my coworker and I go grab some Latte and pastries from this Coupa Cafe. The latte is always delicious! read more

Twice I've ordered salads from Coupa and twice I've been severely disappointed. For $9 you would expect something of a higher standard. I could get the same thing from Trader Joes for $5. The cobb salad's chicken is pressed chicken used in sandwiches, the dressing was on the sweet side. The corn salad was strictly corn, I expected some greens, onions, something, but just corn is in the corn salad. Way over-priced for sub-par food. They should stick to their coffee which they do a great job at. read more

My favorite place for breakfast on campus. Although it is a bit overpriced, everything is really good. The waffles and smoothies are delicious! I always stop for a coffee between classes. read more

Good Chai, good salads, rubbish pastries. Everything is insultingly expensive, and they are usually crazy busy; it only works because they have no competition. read more
