Coupa Cafe - GSB

Matcha Spinach Smoothie 4 not too sweet, earthyThis café is a chain. I went to the one inside Stanford GSB.

Coupa Cafe really kicks off after 2pm, and it's no coincidence that 2pm is also when its competitor Arbuckle Cafe shuts for the day. Arbuckle serves up delicious proper meals for $12. Meanwhile, Coupa will happily charge almost as much for a little sandwich and a limp salad.

The staff is always to friendly and welcoming! There coffees are great and really quick service l. Definitely recommend for a quick bite or a sit down chat with a friend.

This review is only for Coupa Cafe charging $0.25 for water. The food is good, service is good, prices are a bit high. But I was just shocked when I asked for water and they said it would be $0.25.

9/28/2020- Coupa Cafe has been my favorite study spot outside of my dorm! The atmosphere inside the business school is calming, the food is great, and there's plenty of shaded seating. Oven-roasted turkey panini (ciabatta, Dijon mustard, garlic aioli, spinach, tomato, avocado, turkey, and swiss cheese): Probably my favorite sandwich here! Good balance of vegetables to protein and ciabatta was warm/toasted. Comes with a fresh side salad. Mediterranean panini (ciabatta, nut-free pesto, mixed greens, sun dried tomato, grilled chicken, and mozzarella cheese): Also a delicious panini but I have to say I like the turkey better. Flavors were savory but there's not as many greens in this sandwich so you don't get a good balance of crunch texture. Still a great pick! Also comes with a small side salad. Note that you can add/replace the original ingredient pairings with others of your liking (extra cost). I'll be coming back to try the smoothies and coffees next! Great cafe overall.

Such a fun place to go on the weekend. I went here with my sister and her family which included a 3 year old child. She was able to play in the open quad area next to the cafe. They have great outdoor seating. The portions are very generous and filling. The preparation is amazing and they also pay attention to detail with regards to the presentation of the food. What I liked the most was the friendly warm and inviting demeanor of all of the staff. They were patient with questions and went out of their way to make you feel welcome.

This is a pretty nice place to study; the GSB is a great place in general, though, so that definitely has an effect on my opinion of this place. Coffee is nice and dark; the Venezuelan style coffees are especially great for lovers of robust coffee like me. I like getting lattes and cappuccinos here (rather than just black coffee) because the espresso is sufficiently dark enough to overpower the milk, and the cup still manages to taste like a coffee drink. There are sufficient outlets inside, and there's also plenty of outdoor seating. Also, bike parking nearby!

Would have been nice to have health-conscious cafes that served smoked salmon paninis during my college days. I ate the upstate NY equivalent of City Wok 7 days a week.Tiny counter made it kind of hard to order during the midday rush, but there are plenty of nice tables outside to sit, relax, and observe the brilliant Stanford youths live their most enjoyable years.

The café was crowded, and the coffee was just average. The cashier added milk after pouring the coffee out to put the milk in the coffee, and the coffee was served cold. When I requested it be reheated, they refused. Additionally, the banana bread was dry. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

I love Coupa!!! They have a great menu with quality, tasty food. For salads I like the Beverly Hills chopped salad (with chopped mixed greens and romaine lettuce, olives, asparagus, grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, gouda cheese, dijon mustard vinaigrette - I also request to add quinoa), the paninis and wraps are great (e.g. their bacon club panini), and their matcha lattes are always on point! The staff are always friendly and prepare the food with care, and the open outdoors seating and environment at the heart of Stanford GSB are warm and beautiful!
