Just trust me, get the mint chip latte! Amazing every time and the service is even better. To all zoom baristas thank you for always making everyone at the hospitals day so much better, you're the best! read more

ZoomCaffe - Mint chip latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I used to come here very often until I would notice certain things that made me question them. First thing I noticed, the wife and the son of the owner would add little charges here and there if you do not notice. The son makes jokes that are not appropriate or appreciated especially being in a hospital environment. The cash tips are split between the employees but the electronic tips are "donated to local charities" according to Adam (Owners son). When it was just the solo truck and Eric running the show I loved going but since they have expanded, the experience just went down hill especially at thier original location. Those employees are rude. read more

The service is great. I love their regular coffee, it taste great. The guy that works there always tells you to have a blessed day.

So delicious, fresh and well caffeinated! Service was amazing and fast! It's a mobile van outside of Stanford Health Care adult side and is very convenient to order some coffee. read more

ZoomCaffe - Iced white mocha with oat milk and an extra shot of - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

This is convient cafe if you want quick instant cofffee. The drinks are ok and I don't get it often but if I'm in a rush I'd stop by here for a quick cup. Their matcha latte is quite milky not my favorite but I do like their white mocha. Staff and service is quick everyone is friendly but not my top choice of coffee at Stanford. read more

OMG what great coffee! I've been ordering an oat milk late & scone outside the "the old hospital" (300 Pasteur). The staff is so friendly & efficient, I don't mind standing in line awaiting my morning coffee. read more

We were visiting Stanford Hospital & saw this coffee van near the entrance. I ordered their Hazelnut decaf latte with oatmilk & my husband tried their Matche latte. One of the best latte's I've had! The staff was very friendly & the price was great - just $7.50 for 2 16oz drinks. So glad we stopped & ordered. read more

ZoomCaffe - Zoom Caffe van - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I love ZoomCaffe! It's run by a family that turned a van into a mobile coffee stand--there is an amazing story of how their coffee van came to be. They have wonderful espresso drinks (latte, mocha, macchiato etc.), brewed coffees, Numi teas, pastries, sandwiches, and salads. I'm always greeted with a smile by the friendly, sweet, and efficient staff. After a week of regularly purchasing with them, they already know my order (large soy latte) before I step up to order! Other pros: **They have contactless payment (I use Apple Pay). **They are open early (I get to the hospital before 7:00am, and the coffee van is already there!) **On rainy days, they set up a large umbrella/cover so customers can wait for their orders without getting drizzled on. ** The coffee and espresso drinks taste much better and are cheaper than the Starbucks inside of the hospital. read more

Little coffee stand near Stanford Hospital. The cappuccino that I ordered was good. I asked the person if there was sugar inside it in which he said "No." He ask me if I needed it which I did. He gave me two packs which I requested. The coffee is much cheaper than the Market Square Cafeteria. Also much better service. I do recommend it. Just make sure to ask for cream and sugar. read more

Was at the hospital for hours and it was a warm day, but tired of waiting inside. Got a nice cold brew from the mother daughter duo (?) and it hit the spot. Perfect little area to sit at a bench or table with the fountain and greenery in view. read more

Cute little outdoor coffee stand located near Stanford Hospital! Staff is extremely nice and the drinks are refreshing. On a beautiful day it's definitely nice to spend some time outdoors enjoying the sunshine with a cool drink. Hits the spot and super convenient location! Also pretty good price point. Would definitely hit this place up again! read more

The employees at this coffee stand really need to be more cognizant of what customers they are serving being right in the middle of the Stanford hospitals. I was looking to buy some snacks for my husband who was in recovery after surgery for cancer. The employee that rung me up made very snarky comments as if I were stupid and didn't know what I was asking for. He also tried to make me look dumb by pretending my credit card didn't go through and repeatedly snatched the card away from my hands as I went to retrieve it from the mobile card reader. Understandably, I was not in the mood to point out the inappropriate behavior - I just wanted to get my husbands water and get out of there. Insensitive and inappropriate - I will not be purchasing anything further from any of these Zoom cafes read more

Whats not to like here? Its a small customized coffee truck run by a family. The service is super friendly, quick, and perhaps its one of the best option for coffee in the Hospital Complex. Its located out by the fountains so if your visiting a friend, getting treatment or working there, it a fantastic place to just sit and unwind. Aside from the convenience, the offer the full range of coffee options from latte's, to espresso. Ive had the cappuccino and the cold brew, and both were quite good. The lines can get long but they work through them pretty quickly. read more

Just tried this. Had a Latte and almond croissant . Their Latte tasted different than Starbucks. I don't add sugar but more noticed it more here. The croissant was very good. Said it was fresh from a local bakery read more

I've been here twice thus far since I'm at Stanford for a rotation right now. They park right outside the front of it, so it's rather conveniently located. The residents I work with often go to the cafe for breakfast, but wait til they can come here "for superior drinks." The owner and staff are all super friendly and nice. Service is quick and pricing is about on par of what you'd see at any regular coffee shop. I've only tried the chai latte so far, but I like it a lot! There's outdoor seating that we've usually been parking ourselves around to enjoy the sunshine/spring flowers/that pretty fountain before we run off to get back to work again! read more

My immigrant mother went to get me water. As she asked for water, in her best English verbiage. The workers proceeded to berate her until her pronunciation was more Americanized and "correct." This is insensitive of the immigrant community and unacceptable conduct. I will no longer support this business. read more

Always the best place for coffee if your at Stanford Hospital. Family owned and operated. Very sweet and funny people and the drinks are very delicious. Hot or cold. Remember to stop by! read more

I had an appointment upstairs and I was a bit early. I decided to come down and get a snack and a latte. I ordered my latte and noticed the lady using coffee. I ask her why and she told me they use cold brew drop coffee for latte's. Well that's not what i ordered. I ordered a latte and that is made with Expresso beans. TOTALLY DIFFERENT! I ask her to remake it with Expresso and she does. She went to the back and came back to the front. She makes my coffee using "Expresso" that tasted just like the coffee she just tried to give me and pass off as a latte. I asked for a refund. They should also be careful of who they speak about/in front of. I might have blonde hair and blue eyes but I have spent 3 years in Southern America and understood everything they were saying about me. SAD. read more

Cutest spot at the hospital, and the owners are so friendly and personable! Their story is amazing about how they became their coffee van! Had me an oatmilk latte and it hits the spot Will certainly be returning read more

Got the basic drip coffee. Somehow, it tastes just like water and creamer. Hmmmm....... I'm not going back. I can't even doctor it up to make it taste like coffee. That's $2.50 down the drain. read more

Unfortunately my mocha tasted like warm milk. I'd love to say better things but I gave the mocha a second chance. It was just as bad as the first one I got a month ago. read more

Great coffee, and conveniently located outside of the Stanford main hospital. They make a great cold-brew coffee, and offer soy and almond milk for an additional charge. It's so nice to simply enjoy an iced coffee sitting outside in the sun by the fountain, and get a break from being inside the hospital all day. On top of the great coffee, the couple who runs the business has an amazing story. They are so friendly and sweet, the coffee truck was all started when his wife was in the hospital getting a heart transplant, and now she's a five year survivor! I love supporting a small, family-run business like this one read more

ZoomCaffe - Cold-brew coffee with almond milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I happened to come across Zoom Caffe the other day and decided to give them a try. The Silicon Valley is full of creative venues for new experiences. I had never encountered a mobile coffee truck and wanted to see what they had to offer. The nice older lady was more than accommodating to get me to place my order, but I had a whole series of questions like do they roast their own beans, trying to gauge what kind of coffee experience I was getting myself into. So we bantered back and forth before I chose a Mocha (hot). They ground the beans right in front of me as I watched them fulfill my order. Was hoping for that 'wow' factor with my first sip, but alas it did not take me to another level experience. It was good, but did not meet my elevated expectations. So good coffee and quick and friendly service from what appears to be a family run business. read more

So, aside from what I imagine is a really advantageous location for the truck, (I went to the one on the lot of Anderson Honda, on Embarcadero, I can only imagine how many folks swing by there while they're cars are getting worked on,) Eric was as surprising and personable as baristas come. I approached the van to ask if he took cards (they don't, sadly,) and since I was short on cash, I was about to walk away, but Eric stopped me with a "Hold on! Italians don't let anybody go off without some coffee." He asked me what I'd like, pulled me a shot of espresso, and handed it over, no questions asked. It was very well executed, and came out not too hot, nor too cool. Perfect sipping temperature. We chatted a bit while I sipped the coffee, which tasted like a well balanced medium roast a little on the sweeter side, about his business, about what went into his logic on making blends, and how they roast the coffee nearby. I wish I could tell you more about the menu, but I suppose a coffee joint is more about the experience than it is about the product line. Now, beyond the generosity of the freebie and the quality of the espresso, I just wanted to highlight the sense of neighborliness I got from Eric. The only real payment he wanted was my assurance that I pay it forward. Well, while I do, at least let me leave this as a gratuity. Thanks Eric! read more

This truck sits right outside Stanford hospital today and it is so good! The service is fantastic as my strawberry Italian soda was perfectly made with a "splash" of cream! I will definitely be back! read more

Great cafe au lait! Customer service is great! Just wish they remembered that there are black Hispanics! Talk to me in Spanish too if I'm with all Hispanic group! read more

I'm not sure if I checked into the right one but the Zoom I tried a few days ago was in front of Stanford Hospital. This is a moving coffee/specialty drink truck. I'm a coffee/espresso lover but by no means am I suggesting I'm an expert in the craft, however I know when I'm having something good. This place makes good stuff. So good that I decided not to taint my latte with my usual Splenda! That for me is making a big commitment to the genuine taste. Loved it. The service is also a lovely experience. The gentleman running it is incredibly friendly and happy to give you a little espresso tutorial if your interested. I am actually looking forward to my next appointment because I get to start off with a large latte. Look around for them! read more

Watched the lady fill my cold brew with 1/4 cup of coffee 1/2 cup of water. The rest ice and cream. Disappointing

I'm a regular up at Stanford and my husband brought me coffee from Zoom. The flavor was smooth, the foam of the cappuccino was not only thick but almost dessert like. What a treat! If you are up at Stanford, sometimes this truck is parked by the fountain. If you need a treat, check them out! read more

Had been coming here for some time.Service has gone down now badly.Very untimely jokes by one of the employees .Wont go back here

I loved the coffee from zoom caffe and the owners are amazing people !!! I highly recommend checking them out !

Grumpy. We're closed ( at 4pm). No apologies blah blah. Clearly don't care about service.

Great place for coffee! Eric is terrific and his staff members are fast and friendly. Definitely the best coffee you'll find in the vicinity of Stanford Hospital. Prices are comparable to most mainstream brick and mortar establishments, but the coffee is far better than what you'll get at Starbucks. Weekend hours for Stanford Hospital have changed, though. They are no longer at the fountain on Saturday mornings, much to my dismay. read more

Staying in the hospital with my husband following surgery and I love this cafe. The coffee is really great and the women working there are so friendly. It's right out front of the hospital near the big fountains and trees so it's a peaceful atmosphere when you can step out of the hospital for a few minutes for some fresh air, sunshine, and coffee. Surprised the lines aren't long! read more

Sorry but I just had a bad experience here. While taking my order the lady had her back towards me as she asked me the size of white choc mocha I wanted I said 12 oz (small) she continued to make me the large coffee and charged me accordingly (maybe this wouldn't have happened if she was looking at me, paying attention as I ordered). Anyways, I started walking back when I took a sip and it was just milk. I didn't taste any "chocolate" or "coffee" or anything, just milk. I may have caught them on an off day as others have had good experiences but it's safe to say I won't be going back. read more
