    For drinks I tried the Vienna Einspänner. It was good but the einspänner really had no flavor kinda tastes just like heavy cream and was not foamy/thick but very watery. Pastries I tried the cinnamon roll which was great very gooey and soft. The Pistachio raspberry croissant it had good flavor but it was very greasy so after a bite or 2 it was too much. Went around 1pm in a Sunday and waited less than 10 min to order and like 5 min to get our food and drinks. Parking is a little tight.

    3.5 stars We had the drip coffee and burnt honey latte. He liked his drip coffee. The burnt honey latte, I had half sweetness, and it was just right for me. The coffee flavor itself is just medium for me.

    Lots of seats

    Super cool spot looks super timeless and the music choice is top tier Absolutely unmatched ambiance The baristas are super super nice and very smily and super fast service I didn't get to try any of the pastries because I got there a bit later but I was super excited to try some of them Everything on the menu sounded delicious!

    I am far from a coffee connoisseur and literally had to Google Einspänner prior to ordering. I was the second in line during my visit and after placing my order, the line suddenly grew and the cafe filled up. I was not sure what to expect, but I am familiar with my teas so that was what had caught my attention at Covour Coffee. I ordered the Earl Grey latte and the Hojicha einspanner and I really enjoyed the roasted, nutty and earthy taste of the Hojicha. The einspanner (sweetened whip cream) added a creaminess to the graininess of the Hojicha and the perfect amount sugar went with it. The Earl Grey also had a strong flavor with a good amount of sweetness. Although the flavors were strong, the only thing lacking was the temperature, was it normal for the drinks to be lukewarm even though I picked it up immediately? I also ordered the Pandan and Ube mochi muffins and it was undercooked. The center should be soft and chewy, but it was gooey and wet. The drinks were great and the pastries were expensive and disappointing. Would definitely come back to try their matcha einspanner or other drinks. Considering how small their parking lot was, glad that the spots were mostly 20minute parking only so you would for sure find parking.

    Came here on a Saturday morning and there was line. I waited about 15 minutes. This place has seasonal special, but since it was my first time, I wanted to try their permanent menu. Madagascar Vanilla Latte (4/5); It wasn't too crazy. The coffee taste is stronger than the vanilla. Solid, but nothing too crazy. Watermelon Jasmine (3/5); I thought this would really sweet, but it wasn't sweetened at all. The tea tasted a bit sour. The watermelon flavor was there but it wasn't that great since it wasn't sweet but that's my preference. I would come back for their seasonal drinks

    Feels like Google here. Young people on their computers and line that seems to never end. Parking is a little tricky. I recommend street parking rather than navigating their small parking space. I only dock a star because my Tiramisu Latte came out looking like it spilled and the worker didn't bother cleaning the cup. Nice place.

    I will forever hype up Covour. Yes, the lines can be annoyingly long, especially on weekends, but they're absolutely worth it. I've worked my way through both the permanent and seasonal menus, and I genuinely can't think of a bad drink I've had. The Einspänner on any drink is unmatched, but honestly, every drink has been so good that picking a favorite feels impossible. The pastries are just as impressive! Always fresh, scrumptious, and worth every calorie. I remember when you could walk right in without much of a wait, but influencers have definitely done their job putting special places like this on the map. My only real complaints? The weekend lines and the fact that a coffee shop opens at 8 a.m. Let me get my caffeine fix earlier! Still, this is an easy 5/5. The drinks and pastries are on another level, and the hype is completely deserved.

    I have only been to Covour coffee once but I can see myself becoming a regular to this coffee shop The good thing is that this coffee shop is not in Palo Alto downtown which makes it less crowded, better parking situation and best suited for doing WF coffee shop. Love the high ceilings, bright light, their ceramic ware and very friendly staff. I had a cappuccino along with a chocolate croissant and I loved both. The little details like the printed to go cups is what makes a lot of difference for me

    Great cafe for remote workers with unique coffee and matcha drinks, along with a good selection of pastries. The cafe is spacious, and I love the warm white and wooden interior. All the staff were very friendly, and there is an easy parking lot right in front. I tried the Hojicha Einspanner and Americano, and both were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Perfect cafe to spend your time working from home or studying. Covour Coffee is located in an unassuming spot, serving the neighborhood a great selection of caffeine. I have already been to Covour a handful of times, mostly on weekdays, where I'm usually planted there for a few hours to do some work or study. On the weekends, it can get quite busy, while weekdays are more of a gamble depending on how many people are there. The parking lot is on the smaller side, so on busy days, it can feel a bit hectic. The space itself has a good number of tables to work or study from, along with great lighting. I really appreciate the selection of drinks they have, ranging from fun flavored lattes like tiramisu and burnt brown sugar to matchas, hojichas, and classic cafe staples like americanos and flat whites. Everything I've had here has been delicious and always hits the spot. They also have a range of food and toasts you can order. I recently got the ricotta and honey toast, which was delicious and light! Heads up, though, as expected, they do run low on stock later in the day. I came around 2 PM, and there were maybe four baked goods left. Overall, it's a great choice, and if you're in the area, definitely check them out.

    Got the tiramisu late and cranberry loaf and they were both delicious! The space is somewhat small, but the lighting is really pretty. Service was good! But we ordered 4 drinks and they all came one at a time in between others drinks and it was a bit of a wait.

    Great lil vibey coffee shop. The staff are nice, efficient and attentive and the drinks were delicious.

    i am not only a young scrappy hungry fella but also a performative theatre kid. going to covour works out very well for me since they played the entire hamilton album while i was sitting there sipping matcha. YAY! location: palo alto. very nice um white space ig. also very lively with great baristas so you can be an extroverted baddie. drinks are not bad. hojicha is great! matcha einspanner is on the more balanced side (which is a nice way of saying weak) so if you don't feel like chugging 10 grams of legal japanese zaza you should get their matcha overall 4 stars may come back

    A Hidden Gem for Coffee Lovers!…read more We stumbled upon this place while craving coffee after a heavy meal at another restaurant in Palo Alto. Tucked away in a cozy spot, it's accessible through an 'Insta-friendly' walkway between two beautifully painted mural walls--a hidden gem in every sense. At first, I assumed it was one of those trendy spots that people flock to more for the aesthetics than the actual coffee. But I couldn't have been more wrong. Our group ordered a variety of drinks, and everyone loved what they got. The service was friendly and prompt, and to our surprise, there was plenty of seating. While their signature brews feature some unique craft coffee blends, I went with a classic cappuccino--and it did not disappoint. Bold, flavorful, and beautifully presented, it was everything I hoped for. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

This cafe specializes in Asian inspired drinks, roll cakes, basque cheesecakes, as well as Japanese puddings. The interior is super Japandi / minimalistic aesthetic. Their desserts have also been officially marked as "not too sweet" by my inlaws so you know it's got that Asian parent stamp of approval! I haven't tried the basque cheesecakes and the puddings, but have been a repeat customer for their roll cakes. So far I've tried their matcha, coffee, and black sesame roll cakes and all are fantastic. Super strong flavors and the chiffon cake isn't too dry. I will say for a single slice the price is quite steep, but it /is/ located in Palo Alto so rent is not cheap I would assume. Also if you wanted an entire roll, you have to order 2 business days in advance.

    Lots of different matcha based drinks as well as matcha soft serve…read more I wasn't in the mood for a milk based drink so I was happy to try the Matcha seltzers. I chose the Yuzu flavor , strawberry was the other option . Im picky about not having overly sweetened drinks, but also don't like how bitter Matcha can taste, but my Yuzu Matcha Seltzer hit the spot on a hot day . They also seemed happy to customize or fix drinks . The only thing disappointing was the vibes.

I wouldve chosen somewhere different to meet up with someone.

The interior is pretty bright, with lots of windows which let in a large amount of sunlight (though it also means some spots could probably get toasty). The menu is very matcha forward, with a lot of drinks and a small number of choices of soft serve. I got a yuzu tea and matcha soft serve with mochi "topping". The mochi topping, they were placed at the bottom of the soft serve cup which definitely makes it less of a dexterity challenge to eat the soft serve while not spilling mochi everywhere. Service was counter service, with one staff member working it all when my party was there around 4pm. The yuzu tea was good. It was cold and refreshing which was superb on this hot day, with a light yuzu flavor to it. I liked what I got, but prices felt a tad high. Still, it was a nice spot to hang out for half an hour over drinks
