The salted honey latte with cold foam did run me $11 for a single latte but trust me when I say that Ralph's is not just a vibe but it has some amazing coffee, this latte was delicious. My friend and I also shared their coffee vanilla swirl soft serve which was so refreshing and the perfect summer day treat. 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

Can't speak to their coffee cause I only got a vanilla coffee swirl ice cream ($8). Don't waste your money - it was thin and icy. If you are craving soft serve ice cream go over to Shake Shack (in the same shopping center) for their custard - so much better and worth the extra walk or drive. The staff at Ralph's Coffee were nice and helpful. 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

Decided to try this place out. Priciest coffee in the area, but very strong. Highly recommend the Salted Honey Cold Foam Latte. It did cost about $11 for the coffee, which had I known I probably would have passed. lol, but in hindsight it was pretty good and strong almost Vietnamese iced coffee strong. Will probably come return to try some other less pricey drinks. 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

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

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

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

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

I was so excited this coffee shop was opening in the Bay Area. I've been to the one in Chicago and absolutely loved that one. This coffee shop is in a shopping center so parking is not an issue. I was surprised at how small the actual coffee shop was. There was two tables outside. It was a bit cold and the line started at the door. We ordered a vanilla latte and a hot chocolate. The decor is beautiful like the brand. It is small so you're just standing around. They do sell some items there like hats and coffee mugs but hard to see since everyone was standing in front of there. When you finally do get a seat you're literally almost sitting next to someone else table. We finally got the coffee and it was burnt. Aesthetically the place is made for Instagram. As a coffee shop it was unfortunately not good. I felt like I lost $22! 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

Was super excited to finally try Ralph's Coffee since I've always seen it in NYC but never had the chance to stop by. Since it's still pretty new, the line was crazy and we ended up waiting around 45 minutes. We got the salted honey latte with cold foam, and while it was decent, there was a bit too much milk so the coffee flavor was diluted. The ambience was super cute and aesthetic, and I could definitely see it being a nice spot to work or hang out once the hype dies down. read more

Went on a Thursday morning so not too many people. Nicely decorated, It's a cute little cafe attached to the Ralph Lauren store. I ordered an iced chai latte and waited literally 30 seconds before I got my order! I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too sweet, but it did seem a little watered down flavor wise + heavy on the cinnamon. I like that they have a little bit of merchandise you can buy, ended up taking home a mug to add to my collection. I would probably go maybe once more to try another drink and some pastries. I would say I had a nice experience but it's not so crazy good that I wanna make it my go to. Definitely more of a place you go to for the experience and ambiance instead of for the actual product read more

As someone who frequented Ralph's in NYC, when I saw that Ralph's had opened in Stanford Shopping, I had to check it out! The line was brutal, we waited ~1hr until we finally got to order. There isn't a lot of seating inside/outside, but we happened to grab a table as a party before us left. It was really fun to admire the decor inside, and the drinks were pretty much the same as what I remember in NY. Their drinks aren't strong coffee, but more for the aesthetics. We also ordered some of their ready-made pastries since we had waited so long in line, and the lemon cake paired well with the coffee (choco croissant was pretty mid). read more

I really don't understand why this has such low ratings. I loved my visit to Ralph's! If you are expecting sweet coffee or something like Starbucks this is not for you. They do have flavors but I'd say this is more like your mom and dads coffee if that makes sense lol. The line is long but moves fast just keep in mind that the space is small and limited. Service was really great and I really appreciated that they let me run back up after I forgot to order my croissant. I did not want to wait in that line again lol. I also purchased a cute lil espresso cup set. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area. 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

Ambience: Cute small shop with a cozy vibe. The aesthetic is charming and worth a quick stop. Drinks: Decent. I enjoyed my iced vanilla latte. Well-made without any rush. Service: Went during my break and didn't have to wait in line, which was a pleasant surprise. Usually a long line. Overall impression: A charming little spot for a quick, relaxed coffee break with a nice atmosphere and friendly service. If you're in the area, it's worth a detour for a brief, casual stop. Plus, my favorite color is green :) Tips: Consider visiting during off-peak times if you're aiming to avoid lines. It's a compact place, so it's perfect for a quick, singleton or small-group visit. read more

I had Ralph's coffee in NYC before and loved it, and I was really excited to hear the bay area is getting one. I met with a friend for matcha here on a Friday morning, and it was so busy. There was a long line, but the wait wasn't bad. We waited probably about 15 minutes total. We both ordered matcha with oat milk, and it was really good. I don't think it was the best I've had, but it was good. I live far from here so it's not worth a drive for just matcha, but would definitely go if I'm at Stanford mall shopping. I love the vibe and decor. It was so cute and cozy. None of the tables were available, so we couldn't sit and hang out. It's in a convenient location in the Neiman Marcus area and it's a part of the RL store. read more

I went here on Saturday to check out and see the hype. A lot of merch to choose from. As expected there was a long line. Iced chai latte 4/5 I ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk. You can choose what kind of sweetener to add to the drink. I added agave. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a solid iced chai. Customer service 2/5 I was displeased with the customer service. I didn't like how they handled the line. I waited 40 minutes to get inside the cafe. There were 4 parties ahead of me to order at the cashier. I saw two workers go behind me and spoke to the party behind me. The workers told the party "I will take your order." The workers had a portable card machine. The party behind me told the worker they did not know what to order and needed more time to think. I told the worker that I was ready and she could take my order. The worker looked at me up and down and said "no, if it's okay I will help the party behind them." That did not make any sense. I didn't want to make a scene so I waited for the parties ahead of me to make their order at the cashier. As I waited I saw people behind me getting their drinks quickly. By the time it was my turn at the register the worker told me to wait a bit because they were working on orders. I had to wait again. When I finally had my order taken more people behind me were getting their drinks and food. Not a great experience. read more

I ordered the salted honey cream top latte. Didn't taste honey, not salt. Just a regular coffee with milk tbh. I ordered a pan au chocolat, they didn't offer to warm it up , taste like ones you can buy from the store. Nothing special about, but the shop it self is nice and aesthetically pleasing. You're basically paying for the brand at this point. My friend and I also wanted to work in the shop, but one of the workers said we're not allowed to have laptops here- so not coffee/working friendly. read more

I'm so excited that they've opened their first NorCal (second west coast) location! Came on their second day - unfortunately there was a line on a Friday at 2pm (waited about 30 min) but once we got our coffees it was pretty easy to get a table. I got the salted cream honey latte with oat milk and it was delicious! Service was also friendly. $10 was a little pricey but I guess you're paying for the ambiance. They had a selection of coffee options as well as matcha, lemonade, soft serve and a few pastries. You can get some of the Ralph's Coffee swag including an exclusive mug with Palo Alto on it for $35. The cafe offers both indoor and outdoor seating and is attached to their retail clothing store. Will definitely come back, maybe in a few weeks or at opening to avoid the crowds. Definitely come with a friend for the experience - you can get a cheaper coffee elsewhere for just the drink. read more

I think it's over rated giving I am a seasoned coffee drinker. However, Ralph Lauren did have a great taste in furnitures and merchandise. Did not try the soft ice cream but pastries are just ok.

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

I visited on Tuesday, June 2nd, around noon. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The coffee I received tasted burnt and was not enjoyable at all. What made the experience worse was the customer service. The male cashier working at the time came across as rude and dismissive. I felt like my questions and order were more of an inconvenience than anything else. A friendly attitude can make a huge difference, but that wasn't the experience I had during my visit. I understand everyone has bad days, but between the burnt coffee and the poor customer service, I left feeling disappointed. I hope management takes this feedback into consideration and works on improving both the quality of the drinks and the customer experience. read more
