I noticed Gregorys Coffee moved in when Starbucks moved out a while ago. I had been curious as to…read morehow good their coffee was, but there was always a line and I chose to go when there wasn't one. I tried an Americano a little while ago and it was quite good. I became a huge fan of Americano the first time tried in Rome many years ago. As a coffee drinker I simply thought an Americano was a watered-down espresso. I learned there is a little more to it. The Americano is my favorite coffee, although I usually drink a brewed black coffee. GC's Americano is very good and will probably be my go-to order there. Service was good and the young man behind the counter was quick to offer an Americano when I learned their regular black was being brewed. Anyway, I found a good spot for a coffee break (between shopping) whenever I am down at Stanford. And...the pics.

When I looked up from my phone a few minutes later, I saw a bag but never heard my name called. I had to walk back up to the counter and call someone over to hand me my order. No sense of customer service at all. This store needs to train these younger adults to give better attention to their customers. Otherwise, coffee was delicious and chocolate croissant was small but tasty. And store was clean given that it's new.

Each drink is organized by order number, so you just walk in and pick up. It's strange to not have to speak with anyone, but it's efficient.

Ice cream melted quick. This trip we sat inside and ice cream was firm and the espresso had body to it. My favorite at the Stanford shopping mall.

My friends and I stopped in at Blue Bottle to take a caffeine break during our shopping trip at…read moreStanford Shopping Center. The coffee shop was packed, even in the late afternoon, but we waited because we didn't see too many other coffee shops in the mall. Despite the long line, the baristas were upbeat and kept the line moving. In the mood for something refreshing, I ordered the NOLA cold brew with cinnamon and honey. My cold brew was prepared immediately, but my friends had to wait 15+ minutes for their Shakerados. The NOLA cold brew was sweet and refreshing - the light cinnamon and honey added just the right amount of sweetness to the smooth cold brew. We took our drinks to go, since we still had plenty of shopping to do!

Verve Coffee Roasters is a solid spot for coffee in downtown Palo Alto. There was a long line when…read moreI visited, but it moved pretty quickly, so the wait wasn't bad. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the café has a lively, bustling atmosphere. It can get pretty crowded, so I'd say it's better for catching up with friends than trying to get work done. The coffee is consistently high quality, which is why I keep coming back. If you're looking for a reliable coffee shop with great drinks and a vibrant atmosphere, Verve is definitely worth checking out.

Good artistry pulling it all together. Today though, I strayed from the usual cappu and tried their mocha. Damn. May possibly be a top 3 mocha in my life. As you'd expect, the base espresso, milk, process, they all matter here; but the key decision here is which chocolate to integrate in. And Verve's chocolate is quite amazing. I hear they make their own chocolate, so to imitate this at home would mean figuring out their in-house recipe. But damn...in the meantime, I'll be back for that mocha.

You can opt to sit inside, though there are only a few bar stools by the windows though. Or you can choose to sit outside in the public area, with lots of tables and chairs in the shades. The exterior has a cute black and white color palette which is also reflected in the interior decoration. I love their cute ice cream wall and the rabbit shaped window. Lots of cute photo ops if you want. I love how clean and cozy the interior is :)! You have the options to order with a staff or order it yourself at the self-ordering station. My sis and I picked the matcha ice cream floating in jasmine tea and a matcha ice cream cone. Our orders came out fast within 2-4 minutes. The Jasmine-matcha float was amazing!!! I never thought Jasmine and matcha could be such a great combination. The only downside was that it was too sweet for my taste. I took a mental note to adjust the sweetness level next time. Overall, it was a nice experience and yes, I'll come back for sure to try other items on the menu.

There's a few tables and chairs to enjoy your drink and/or pastry and it's shaded. The patio is pet friendly. We ordered the iced filter coffee and it was nice, strong and smooth. We also got their seasonal flavor orange cream latte and it was so delicious. The orange was light in flavor but enough to taste the orange notes and the consistency with the whole milk was decadent. Not too sweet. Definitely will come back when in the area again.

The inside has such a pretty aesthetic, with a few inside tables to How to order is with an iPad kiosk, so card payment only. The menu selection is nice and simple, offering matcha and hojicha options. There are also small desserts like cheesecakes, cake rolls whole or slice and tiramisu. This tea shop is nice to go to after work to relax and decompress for a bit. Items my coworker and I ordered- * Hojicha Strawberry Latte - light sweet, soy milk and less ice. Rating 5/5 * Hojicha Cake Roll slice. Rating 5/5 * Matcha Latte - light sweet, oat milk, less ice. Rating 5/5

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.

Was craving something sweet after a rough day and came across a lot of glowing reviews for Anton…read more Unfortunately didn't come away feeling the same as the many 4-5 star reviews on Yelp. The Anton location in the mall is only takeaway, so you just order at the counter and go. They do provide a very pretty and well-constructed cardboard tray with a napkin/utensil holder built in if you tell them you're eating at one of the patio tables. Very thoughtful! We had a slice of their best seller, the Hokkaido milk charcoal crepe, which cost $12/slice. Simply put, the crepe was just too dry and overcooked. I personally look for crepe texture to be a little QQ (soft, but with some bite) and this was borderline rubbery. The skin also wasn't smooth: you could even see all the bubbles that formed. Cream was okay, nothing special or particularly "Hokkaido" about it; I've had dairy in Hokkaido and this didn't have any of the richness I remember. The little crunchy chocolate-covered wafer balls were a net negative to the experience. The sweetness of the chocolate was way too overpowering for how delicate the cream was, and I did not like the crunchy texture in the context of a crepe cake at all.

Public lot parking and garage parking within walking distance to the coffee shop. I drink a good amount of matcha and have a sweet tooth. The pistachio eispanner had me shoooook. It was sooo good. Yes, it was on the heavy side. Yes, the cream top is sweet. Yes, the matcha was good. If that's your vibe, then this drink is the one. It was flavorful, sweet, creamy, and had texture from the crushed pistachio topping. Very unqiue item that I don't see in other places. Pricey, I think after taxes and tip, I paid like $10-11. But, it was pretty damn good. For a coffee shop, this is an easy 9.5/10. I would come back to get this drink again and to try the other menu items too.

We literally tossed the drinks and went to verve who had amazing seasonal drink choices and lovely staff.
