I’m obsessed with this place. The English muffin breakfast sandwich is AMAZING, as are the omelettes . They also have a killer pastry selection . The coffee is also good.

The Taste Sheriff

Great South American cafe in which you can enjoy some down time while working/reading. Great beverages and desserts . Try the oatmeal cookie .

Jeff Bowen

Good place to work in Palo Alto. Good coffee and food, fast Wi-Fi, some outlets, and outdoor seating for when the weather's nice. Added plus, you can order from your table with the Downtown app.

Ariana Faustini

I love the tiger-spiced chai made with almond milk . If you're into decadent, try the firecracker truffle . Be sure to keep your ears open for some hot startup gossip. Lots of startups start up here.

Great coffee in the middle of Palo Alto close to historic 165 University Ave. But the Coupa Cafe itself has iconic status in Silicon Valley so it’s no surprise that it’s full of coding or pitching

Zach Hamed

Get the Tiger Spice chai . Make it a large. No, make it an XXXXX-large. One of the best chai teas in the Bay Area, period.

Priyanka L

Love this place for its coffee , ambience, desserts and music !!!

Meghana Dhar

Hands down my new favorite cafe . Love listening in to the high-powered conversations around me as I sip a tiger spice latte (a must try!) and work. Highly recommend (if you can manage a seat)

T Z

pumpkin spice latte is solid here but not too sweet. I like the tiger chai more.

Andrea Campi

If you don't know this place you must be new in town , so welcome. Everything is good and you'll be in good company--startup lives happen here.

Ashley Yue

Elephant chai latte (vanilla flavoured) is a personal favourite. It's packed and noisy but if you're okay with that it's a great cafe to get some work done!

Liza P

Coupa is an institution in Palo Alto! The coffee is ok at best, but a very good space to work or meet for a chat.

Amanda Van West

You know what's even better than their delicious hot chocolate ? Enjoying it while listening to new music and reading reviews

Erkan Saka

My nice stop in town to have coffee and work or socialize with friends...

Liberty

Wonderful absolutely South American coffee & enough to eat that it really is a café . Not always the vibe for an office/coffee shop & electrical outlets aren't plentiful. But do go! For the coffee .

Patrycja Tempska

Amazing atmosphere, food and coffee ! Julio is preparing the best chai I've ever tried:))))) highly reccommended!

Josie Xiao

Decent coffee and pastry . The yogurt cup with granola and fruits have way too much granola and too little yogurt . Do grab a window seat or outdoor table , it's overall a good coffee experience

Kat ????

Get the Breakfast Bowl (yogurt , granola , fruit ) if you are looking for something healthy.

Renee Teefive

Fun and crowded food/coffee place to work and have meetings or just relax and enjoy some coffee .

Azwandi Aris

Chai latte is super good

Dilara Keçeci

You’ll love the breakfast choices

Jamie Wu

their green tea is fragrant, comes in a nice tea pot, and can always refill hot water. reminder that they only provide wifi on weekdays

Philip Cortes

Meeteor Networking Tip: the side tables inside have plugs, and the tables near the back have the least amount of noise if you're meeting with somebody. There's also free water at the end of the bar !

Regan Henderson

Tiger spice latte was fantastic! Ordered the breakfast BLT on croissant and that's was great as well .

Tom Maxwell

Great cold-brewed coffee . Not too bitter, not too weak. 

Charlotte Lilley

Get an almond milk hot chocolate for a cozy treat or delicious dessert .

P S

Finally someone also thought that ordering from an app is convenient. Good luck, Downtown guys!

Karen Herzog

The spicy , soy hot chocolate is worth every penny. Sprinkle cinnamon , nutmeg and chocolate on the foam and stir to accent the peppery flavor.

Mariianne Crary

Outside seating in any weather, pitches everywhere, good place to follow the trends in Silicon Valley. Very crowded .

Michael Clarke

Their tiger spiced chai is delicious. One of the best chai lattes I've had.

Tanay Jaipuria

The lattes are great, as are the empanadas .

Gauri Manglik

The staff here is so nice. Free wifi and delicious pasta . Good environment to get some work done. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Masha Adamian

Cold brew here is divine. And Downtown app is fun, use it to skip the line .

Melissa Anderson

New lounge next door allows for more seating.

Jiang Yan Xu

The beef arepas are so delicious! Lots of students hanging out and studying here

Mark Bao

THE SPICED CHAI HERE JESUS CHRIST

Review Bot

startup founders almost any time during the day. For its status and location prices are still fair .

Merry

The Flamingo decaf sugar free chai is AMAZING. Probably the best chai I've ever had.

Eric Risley

Extraordinary espresso and great location.

Carlos Salazar

Good cappuccino , but their Chai is the real deal. Just great!

Global Highlander

Prosciutto panini was excellent, but the pour over coffee was way too over roasted.

Amanda

What's with the baristas talking suggestively to their coworkers and making them obviously uneasy about it especially in Spanish. The employees should remember that customers actually speak it

Frances

Hype is clearly for coffee . This based on food, not amazing here and small portions. Blt panini was ok. Rosemary pesto chicken was very dry and no frills. Mostly crepe wrapper. Ill pass next time.

James Anderson

Steve Jobs used to come here. Now, you'll probably find investors in deep conversation.

Scott Allison

Great coffee , great atmosphere, excellent wifi (M-F) but don't forget the food, it's great too!

Monique Ziesenhenne

Delicious coffee , along with unusual and intriguing chocolates . Good arepas and other nice baked goods . Read more

Kirk McMurray

Try the Hoppy Ending Beer - Pale Ale from the Palo Alto brewing company... with such a clever (triple entendre) name! ;)

Runqiu Cai

Tiger spice chai !

Omer Zach

Try the Tiger Spice Chai or one of the spicy hot chocolates . Arepas are delicious.

K

Coffee is always burnt, I don't know why I keep coming here. Probably because they're nice study nooks in the far back.
