Finally got to try this place after seeing it all over social media. I happened to be passing by on a weekend and saw there was no line and I knew it was a sign to try it. I got the matcha latte with oat milk and sweetened with vanilla and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't terrible. Like I would actually order this again. The price was a bit steep at around $8, but again it wasn't the best matcha latte, but also not terrible. The staff was incredibly friendly, making conversation while ordering, seeing them interact with people waiting for their orders, etc. The inside is a bit tight with limited seating. The cafe opens up into Ralph Lauren, but it would also be awkward to go there to wait for your order. When we went, there was also a large box in the middle of the room, which most likely impacted waiting room space. read more

Came on a Saturday morning, and the place is beautiful. The cafe is connected to the Ralph Lauren store. They have coffee, matcha lemonade, breakfast items/pastries, and ice cream as well. Staff was friendly, and they do have indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk. They do charge $1 for oat or almond milk. The latte overall lacked flavor. It also had a weird aftertaste. I've seen mixed reviews about this place, and well you never know until you try it out. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning just after 10am and there was no line at all. I was able to place my order right away and easily grab a table. I ordered the Salted Honey Cold Foam Latte and asked for it to be less sweet, and it was absolute perfection! The balance between the subtle sweetness and the touch of saltiness was spot on. The interior is also gorgeous. It perfectly embodies that timeless, classic Ralph Lauren aesthetic. I'll definitely be back! Since I know weekends get extremely crowded, I'll just make sure to wake up early and drop by during the morning hours again. read more

There's just something about Ralph's. A mystique. It's just a regular coffee shop, but the branding is so powerful it feels like a special experience. The polo bear is the highlight. They made latte art of a bear's face in my mocha, delighting us. The mocha is really good quality, with excellent chocolate, and it's not sweet. A perfect pick me up, when shopping is tiring you out. They have lot of cute merchandise, for souvenirs. read more

Their latte is on the strong side and I liked it and the chocolate croissants is amazing too! Been wanting to try Ralphs coffee for sometime but waited until the lines died down. Am a little disappointed a bit because of the presentation as the place it really nice and chic yet they serve in store coffee in a paper cup! The service was pretty nice and helpful into deciding what to order also they are pretty fast in orders. read more

While shopping at Stanford Mall, we stopped by Ralph's Coffee. It's so cute inside and outside with their tables and chairs! Green and white everything. We decided on the specialty drink, Salted Honey Cold Foam Latte & Soft Serve. The latte was ok. Really good coffee but not a huge fan of the honey. The soft serve was absolutely delish! I need to go back to try the new specialty drink! read more

Ralph's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I managed to come at a time when the line wasn't long, albeit it was July 4th weekend. I ordered an iced americano and it was smooth and flavorful. The interior is cozy with a handful of tables and booths and the cute bear in an apron. I like that it is connected to the clothing store allowing you to browse and sip. Pros: Flavorful coffee, cozy seating, and great decor. Nice to have another coffee option at Stanford Shopping Center. Cons: Long line depending when you go. read more

The line for Ralph's Coffee is amazingly long on weekends. We saw the line wasn't so bad on a weekday. There were a few people ahead of us that were all trying out Ralph's like us. We saw affogato on the menu and that was what we ordered. I did ask what was popular and it's the special on their placard and the soft serve. It's a nice clean area. Seating is limited inside and out because there's so many people. It was nice outside and we got a little table. They serve the soft serve for the affogato and the espresso separately in two cups with a wooden spoon. Soft serve is exactly that. It didn't taste different from other vanilla soft serve. Espresso was a bit bitter not smooth. I poured it over the soft serve and yum. It was good, not exceptional. If the line isn't bad and I'm wanting a coffee drink, I would be back. read more

My daughter and I recently visited Ralph's Coffee at Stanford Shopping Center and had a wonderful experience. We loved the coffee, and the chocolate croissant was delicious. The only small suggestion is that the croissant was a little soft and soggy--we would have preferred it to be a bit crispier. The atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing, and welcoming, and the customer service was friendly and attentive. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back again. read more

Coffee was surprisingly decent! I ordered the salted honey cream top latte ($9.50) and husband wanted the cold brew ($6.50). His was sold out though, so ended up getting a refund for the drink. We waited a while for my drink and it seemed like people after us were getting their orders, so I checked in. Either they forgot the order or misplaced the ticket, but they offered me a complimentary soft serve to make up for it, which I gladly accepted. I asked for my drink to be less sweet, and it was perfect. Usually drinks with cold foams are way too milky or sweet, so I was pleasantly surprised. The soft serve was also really good. I got the twist with a blend of vanilla and espresso. The store is super cute, but bathrooms were a bit dirty when I visited. read more

Been wanting to go here once I heard the Stanford location opened. Finally had a chance today! Got here 45 minutes after they opened so not too bad. Super cute coffee shop. The store is connected and was closed off by a stanchion. All the outdoor and indoor seating was taken but by the time we got our coffee, seats opened up outside. Service was fast. My iced vanilla latte is good but hello?! I never had a Ham & Cheese croissant with ham LOADED. Wow!! Great place to chill. But I recommend coming here early. If you plan to just go to this shop, park by Neiman Marcus, the lot that faces Sand Hill Rd. read more

Ralph's Coffee is one of my go to's whenever I'm in a city that has a location. I was super excited to finally get one in the Bay and had to check them out while I was at Stanford Mall. The line wasn't too long and moved quickly despite only having one cashier/register. Immediate red flag: the cashier and staff were not friendly. Unsure if it was because of the busyness of the store or what but I didn't appreciate the attitude of the cashier and lack of communication from the baristas. They were all chitchatting amongst themselves and would slam the drinks down hard at the counter and walk away. I ordered an iced latte with regular milk, decaf and 2 pumps of vanilla (usually they put 4 pumps). I definitely think they put more than 2 because it was borderline too sweet. The espresso flavor was almost nonexistent, a stark contrast to what I'm used to for Ralph's standards elsewhere. The cups were also standard plastic with a generic sleeve when they usually have branded merch. Not a big deal but just an observation. Pretty poor experience today and very disappointed in one of my usual favorite spots. read more

Ralphs coffee was all the rage recently and I had to try it out to see if it was real. This cafe is attached to the Ralph Lauren store in Stanford Mall and is in a very tiny space with about 4-5 tables inside and outside each. I went here on a weekday so there was not a line (thankfully!). I went with the most popular drink - The Salted Honey Cold Foam Latte with oat milk, however the cold foam top was not non-dairy and it tasted very very milky like it almost overpowered the entire drink so I was not a big fan of it. I have heard that the draft oat latte is pretty good but I don't think this is a place that I will go a second type :) This visit was purely due to the hype and to check out the place and interiors. It is a Ralph Lauren cafe so it is obviously very expensive and they are making it attractive with the green gingham and polo bear logo/ graphics. PS - this is definitely not the right place to visit if you are looking for a laptop session. It is pretty packed usually and buzzing with family/ dogs/ kids. But it would be the right kind of place for a quick coffee break if you are shopping in Stanford Mall :) read more

I stopped by Ralph's hoping to recreate the memory of the latte I had at their New York location. Unfortunately, this cafe is much smaller, has a more limited selection, and they don't even carry the sandwich I was looking forward to. I ordered my usual iced vanilla latte, but the vanilla flavor was surprisingly weak. It was so flavorless that I had to ask for an extra pump just to taste it. Even after the second pump, the drink just didn't hit. The overall experience was underwhelming as well. The staff was polite but fairly quiet; they simply made the drinks without much interaction or warmth. Ralph's is the kind of place you visit for the ambience and aesthetics, but great service should still be part of the experience. Compared to the New York location, this one falls short in almost every way. I'd skip it and visit one of the many other coffee shops in the shopping center instead. Cheers. read more

I love that these designers are expanding from apparel and now catering to our caffeine habits. I'm seeing a lot of retailers following the recipe that Nordstrom had done by offering shoppers with it's own in-house cafe. It's welcoming and a great way to add to the allure of your shopping experience. Ralph Lauren did just that by designing a cafe that feels like you're walking into someone's personal kitchen. The countertops, the tables each adorned with it's own bouquet of flowers, the deep green tones throughout - it's definitely well designed. The coffee isn't bad either and I love how they also offer soft serve. I ordered a vanilla latte - it was flavorful and pricing is fair. read more

I made it to the grand opening of Ralph's Coffee in Palo Alto and had the best time. I enjoyed an espresso and a chocolate cookie, which made for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. The espresso was smooth and bold. The grand opening atmosphere was exciting, and it was especially fun to attend my first ribbon-cutting ceremony. Wishing the team much success in Palo Alto. I'm looking forward to stopping by again to try more from the menu. read more

Ralph's Coffee - Front Entrance - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Is this a super cute spot w a nice vibe? Yes! Is the coffee mind blowing or worth a super long wait? Imo no lol. Tried Ralph's last week to see if it was worth the hype - there was a line out the door when we arrived but it moved pretty fast, we waited for less than 10 min before placing our order. The cashier (Ericka) was very nice & customer service was a 10/10. The interior was super cute & they had some nice merch, somewhat limited seating inside / outside (though we did snag a seat outside). I ordered the salted honey latte w cold foam & my husband got the draft oat latte. I'd give mine a 4/5 - I enjoyed it & the cold foam was good but nothing insane or super unique. I'd give his a 3.5/10 - strong (in a good way) oat flavor and overall nice but not stand out. I'd definitely drink these again but with SO many amazing cafes in the bay I wouldn't make this a regular stop. read more

We visited Ralph's Coffee with friends on a Saturday morning. The interior and design are beautiful, with all the familiar Ralph Lauren touches, and it's definitely a pleasant place to spend time. Unfortunately, the coffee, food, and overall level of service left a lot to be desired. The girl at the register got our coffee order wrong, but honestly, that was the least of the issues. The iced latte had a strange oily aftertaste -- I'm not even sure how that happens with a latte. The chocolate croissant was served completely cold, and no one even offered to warm it up. We've been to Ralph's Coffee in New York and Newport and had great experiences at both locations, so we expected at least the same level of coffee and service here in Palo Alto. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Poorly trained staff and the inability to make even a basic coffee properly can easily ruin what should have been a nice Saturday morning. The atmosphere and design are great, but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend coming here for the coffee or pastries if you're looking for a good breakfast. read more

Ralph's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

This is a relatively new coffee shop . It is located next store to the clothing store Ralph Lauren. The space inside and outside is very aesthetically pleasing. The colors and decorations are very cute . The is a great place to meet with friends and chat . There is a small sign on each table ( no lap top and please limit on the table to 45 minutes so others may also enjoy sitting ) We came on a weekday around 5 pm . The line was not long compared to weekends. We got a hot latter and an iced tea lemonade. The drinks are ok but not amazing. I hope they can improve their taste beyond so many coffee shops around . There is a gift shelf section and the merchandises are very cute . The premium outlet mall in Livermore has some of the cute gift items and they got sales from time to time . The benches and tables inside had pillows and blanket. The colors and designs made this cafe super cute . It has a unisex restroom inside too for convenience. A lovely litter cafe . Definitely hope that the recipes of the latte could improve . read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and stood in line for roughly 15 minutes so the wait wasn't that long. I ordered a latte and my husband got a flat white. We thought it was alright. Considering there are a ton of cafes and coffee roasters in the Bay Area this definitely would not compare. This is pretty much your standard mall coffee but there are way better options at Stanford mall or even university Ave. We brought our pup and sat inside. There is a time limit on the table but not a lot of people stuck around that long anyways. The interior is definitely really cute so definitely check it out but you can probably pass on the coffee if you're looking for a good cup. read more

The interior is very aesthetic with nice wood seating and elegant framed photographs. I love how everything is a dark green and they offer a cute Ralph's car shaped punch card. The drinks/treats are pretty good but a bit pricey: Honey Cream Top Latte ($9.50), Mocha ($8), and Vanilla Ice Cream ($8). The coffee quality is good. Also, Ralph's offers a 10% discount for bringing your own reusable cup. Went the first week and there was a line out the door but came back yesterday and it was pretty relaxed now and not as long of a line. read more

Super cute Ralph's Coffee storefront here in Northern California! My friend and I decided to check out Ralph's on a Sunday morning around 11 AM, several days after their grand opening. It was busy with a line; I'd say about 20 people ahead of us. Our total wait time was 1 hour and 20 minutes -- understandable. While standing in line, the store had employees bring samples of their Kouign-amann to patrons waiting, which I thought was a very kind gesture considering the wait. ORDERING/CUSTOMER SERVICE The interior is tastefully decorated and exudes a welcoming atmosphere. Naturally, I expected nothing less from Ralph. The staff at the counter was very friendly and efficient in managing our orders. I inquired about purchasing merchandise and whether I could pay next door, at the RL clothing store attached. Several employees noticed my question and clearly explained that I could check out using a POS system while waiting, eliminating the need to rejoin the line. I ended up buying a charming RL mug with 'Palo Alto' on it as a keepsake. DRINKS - Iced Dirty Chai Latte: I substituted this drink with oat milk, and it was perfect. The drink was balanced and so good. - Iced Latte: My friend ordered this with oat milk and enjoyed it very much. Overall, the wait was a bit long, but the staff, customer service, and well-executed drinks made the experience worth it. Sunday funday! read more

Finally got to try the first Ralph's Coffee in the Bay Area! I've had Ralph's Coffee many times whenever I'm in NYC, and my go to drink is always the Draft Oat Latte. It's perfectly sweetened with just the right amount of caffeine to get me through the day! Seating is pretty limited, but I was still able to get a seat right away. The outdoor seating area is nice, and although there's only one bathroom, it's super clean and spacious. It's located inside Stanford Shopping Center, so it's really convenient for parking and shopping around afterward! read more

I was really excited to have a local Ralph's coffee! I enjoy their NYC and Chicago locations, but I was honestly disappointed by my experience. I've come here on 3 occasions, and they only had cold foam once. If that's the case, they should remove their sign that advertises the special drink with cold foam. Even without the cold foam, their lattes are good/ you can tell they use quality beans. Their pastries are underwhelming. The croissants are soggy and don't have the crunch or flakiness of a quality croissant. The cookie was also nothing special. The interior is small, but clean and vibrant. I absolutely love the aesthetic and decor. The staff are friendly and make drinks very quickly! Items overall are on the pricer side. Even though the pastries were a disappointment, I am interested in coming back to try the soft serve. Hopefully things will be more consistent as we move away from opening day. read more

Visited Ralph's Coffee on a Sunday around 2:40 PM and waited about 45 minutes for a table, so definitely expect a wait during peak hours. The café itself is small, but very clean, cute, and aesthetically pleasing. It's connected to the Ralph Lauren store, which adds to the overall experience. We ordered the latte, iced salted cream honey latte, and a pain au chocolat -- all were really good. The regular latte had a strong coffee flavor without being bitter, and the salted cream honey latte had the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee. The pastry paired well with both drinks and had the right amount of chocolate. I also ended up buying one of their caps for around $60. They had branded beanies, mugs, thermoses, hats, and other items that made the experience feel a little more unique. We got lucky and found a table inside, but seating definitely feels like pure luck. I do wish they only allowed customers to grab tables after ordering. The maximum allotted time at tables is 45 minutes. One thing we really appreciated was that it's dog friendly. We brought our very small dogs and also saw a medium-sized dog inside during our visit. Staff were friendly, there's a restroom available for customers, and overall the atmosphere felt relaxed. Once seated, it's a nice place to sit back and enjoy your coffee and treats for a while. Overall, a really enjoyable experience despite the wait. read more

This place is super cute. The decor is gorgeous, the merch is cute. Unfortunately the line was decently long and they ran out of a few options I wanted to pick. I got a regular iced latte and it was not the best. The drinks are very straight forward with just coffee and milk. I added sugar to mine. They ran out of ice cream & cold foam. The inside is very small and everyone wants to take some pics. Overall good experience but very over hyped. read more

Absolute chaos...the drinks were ok but on a Saturday afternoon with one person working the register and two making drinks...they were definitely backed up. They need to stop taking orders when everyone's waiting inside for their drinks with not enough room to move. Person at the register could get a lesson on customer service. Would not recommend if there is a long line...they need to figure this out. read more

Ralph's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Lines tend to boggle people's minds as they inquire if it's any good or loudly express how "it's not that good" to the people waiting in line but as always I like to form my own opinion. We came on a Friday around lunch time and it looked like a short line but the wait was over one hour long. When it was our turn to order it was fast and seamless. I ordered a honey cream top latte and a cold brew with a splash of milk. While waiting for my order we noticed that the coffee being used is La Colombe. Our drinks took about 10 minutes as the line of workers busily put orders together. There was no plastic lids and had to be refilled so we could cover our drink. We were able to find seats so we enjoyed our drinks inside. The honey latte was very sweet by default. The cold brew tastes like one of those canned La Colombe coffees. The space inside and outside is very aesthetically pleasing. It's a very cute area to enjoy a drink with friends. Few tables inside and outside. Everyone is hustling to get a place to sit. One of the things I noticed is drinks tend to stay out unattended in the open with no lid on while the other drinks for that order are being made. The area where drinks are put for customer pick up is very small. Everyone is huddled up waiting to hear their name. The line takes up a lot of space on the walkway outside the shop and is pretty long for busy. We waited over an hour in line and the line was not as long as I imagine it can be. The experience is cute and the service was pleasant. The coffee drinks were not memorable enough to return. read more

Checked out Ralph's Coffee after hearing the buzz. They just opened at the Stanford Shopping Center, so I get that they're still working things out. There was a line when I got there, but it actually moved pretty fast. They have a QR code posted outside so you can look at the menu while you wait, which was helpful. Got an iced latte and honestly, it tasted pretty watered down. Not terrible, just not something I'd come back for. Also tried the triple chocolate chunk cookie. It was $7 and kind of small... I was expecting something a bit more substantial or chunky with chocolate, but it was flat and grainy. I was at least expecting a more memorable flavor for the price, but it didn't hit. Overall, probably not worth waiting in line for right now. If there's no wait, it's fine to check out, but I wouldn't go out of my way. Feels more like a backup coffee option than a destination at this point. read more

Stopped by around 4pm on a friday and there were about 20 people in line. It moved fairly quickly and the drinks came out even faster. I had a hard time deciding so I ordered both their oat milk latte on tap and their special salted honey cream top latte. The salted honey top was exceptionally good, however the rest of the drink was way too sweet for my liking. The oat latte to me had almost no coffee taste at all, when I got home I ended up mixing the two drinks together. The space itself is very clean but can feel a tad claustrophobic. There are about four small tables inside and a few out front as well. They have a nice merch wall inside with a separate worker handling payment so you don't have to stand in the long line if you aren't getting a drink. A lot of people were ordering the coffee soft serve, will have to try that next time. read more

I had fun checking out the opening of Ralph's Coffee attached to the Ralph Lauren shop at Stanford Shopping Center. I didn't have to wait in line too long since my friend did the hard work of arriving early - highly recommend! Once we got through the doors, Polo Bear greets you for your photo op. I'll definitely be back with my son for a cute photo with the life sized bear. The menu was what you would expect at a coffee shop. I tried the iced salted cream honey latte which was a nice afternoon treat, but a little too sweet for me. In addition to the standard coffee bar options, there are a few treats including soft serve ice cream and pastries. I'll have to try their chocolate cookie at some point. Even though the cafe was packed, the staff were on top of everything including restocking the Palo Alto exclusive RL merch and keeping things clean. They were really friendly and chatty too. read more

Ralph's Coffee - Salted honey cream top latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I am officially the first 10th customer for this morning's grand opening! They opened the doors @ 10am and there was already a long line. The staff was dressed to impress for today's big day. They all look like they came out of a magazine. I will say, they did open a little after 10am and also had a few issues within their cashier system but that's the usual case for grand openings. I believe they will clean up quick. Before I begin my review, Ralph's coffee is NOT their official roast; they are using beans from La Colombe Coffee from Philadelphia! They have several coffee shops in LA for those in the west coast and the rest are in the east coast. I highly recommend visiting a location and trying their coffee! The coffee shop is just like the Newport location but better. There is an outdoor seating area in addition to the 4-5 tables inside the cafe. Because it's a grand opening, I didn't expect the baristas to be on point or the service, but they did a pretty good job this morning. There were about four managers on site making sure the baristas were running things smoothly. They also checked on customers and made sure orders were read and served properly. It definitely helped a lot because of course; there is pressure. I'd like to thank Tommy, one of the top guys, for being friendly and giving us a great introduction to his position and feel for the coffee shop. He treated us like family and made sure our drinks were tasty. I ordered the new salted caramel cold foam latte which was bitter and bland at first but the whole time, the lid was blocking the experience. To me, the coffee drinks should be served without the lid so that people can drink properly and taste the entire layer of the coffee drink. If people want a lid, there should be a case full of stacked lids for people to just grab and go. The mocha was also pretty good; it has a nice authentic chocolate taste and not that generic stuff. Expect drinks to range anywhere between $6 - $9. I am excited to have Ralph's here in the Bay especially right where I work! I can't wait to come back and just relax inside the coffee shop while enjoying a nice cup of espresso. I'll be back! read more

The coffee absolutely lived up to expectations--incredible quality and just as good as what I had in New York.
