Tootsies

I visited Tootsies at Stanford Barn for the first time with a few coworkers, and it's a charming spot with a cute café vibe. We went close to lunchtime, so the breakfast menu was still available.We decided to share a few baked goods: croissants, a blueberry-lemon muffin, and some kind of donut. All three were quite good, but the standout for me was the croissant. It had a delightful cream filling that took it to the next level--absolutely amazing!For my actual lunch I got the salento sandwich which was pretty good.. The focaccia was soft and it was very flavorful and hearty. My coworker tried a fried zucchini sandwich which looked really good and he gave it a great review. The service was mostly self service but they brought the food out to you and it was fairly quick and efficient!Overall, Tootsies left a great impression, and I'd definitely go back.

Sandwich shop across Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Small shop with limited seatings inside but they do have outdoor seatings. Service was quick. I got the Porchetta sandwich and it came with a side of salad. The salad was just salad and came with balsamic vinegar. The sandwich was a bit small. The pork was ok, good flavor but on the drier side. This place is pricy for the amount of food. Was told their donuts were good so might have to go earlier for the sweets and pastries.

Met a friend for lunch here. It's located at Stanford University, across the street from the new children's hospital, with lots of free parking for people dining at the restaurant. The outdoor patio is lovely with plenty of seating and umbrellas for shade. Nice setting.I ordered a tuna panino. Loved it, the tuna was creamy, the bread was toasted perfectly, and I loved how slices of hard boiled eggs were layered perfectly on sliced radishes. Best tuna sandwich ever.I usually avoid coffee after noon but I saw a drink on their espresso menu that I didn't recognize (lecesse?)? I asked the cashier and he said that it's 2 shots of espresso over ice plus an almond syrup. I asked for it with a splash of soy milk. Loved it.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area- and it's about time I write a review and tell people about it!! The food is always delicious, the ambiance is lovely and the staff is always so friendly! Parking:There is ample of parking close by. They even have reserved parking for people who come to eat here or the neighboring restaurant so that's great!Food:We absolutely love the food! Highly recommend the arancini balls (my favorite!) as well as the friend chicken (melts in your mouth!). The arancini balls are absolutely heavenly. They are paired nicely with a simple salad and homemade focaccia bread. The chicken sandwich is to die for, it also just melts in your mouth with each bite. Honestly my husband and I take both dishes and share, or just keep them for our own haha! Ambiance:This place is tucked away in its own spot. You order at the front and then you go and find a spot to sit outside - there's plenty of tables to choose from also some with shade. It's like taking a break from life and enjoying a moment of absolutely pleasure. Staff:The staff is always super friendly and nice. There's always a manager there to oversee things which is always great having someone higher up be present. You can tell the staff is super hard working!One thing to note: this place closes early at 2PM. And usually lunch time is pretty crowded as a lot of staff from Stanford hospital close by come here so make sure to come early! I give this place 5/5 and highly recommend to anyone in the area to come and experience it for themselves.

Came here for lunch today. My wife and I ordered the tootsie burger and the porchetta sandwich w/ a twist. Service is always top notch and the folks here are very friendly. We arrived at 11:27 craving the panini but they stop serving breakfast at 11:00!!!! Bummer. But blessing in disguise I guess. We made the porchetta sandwich a salad (see photo). My wife and I split the meals so I got an amazing salad plus half a cheeseburger with those delicious homemade fries. I must say, I did not feel bloated and everything was very tasty. I would definitely order this again.

This is one of the best places to grab a causal lunch on Stanford's campus! You order your food and they bring it to you. You do not have a dedicated server. I ordered the Tootsie's hamburger which was perfectly cooked medium rare and came with Swiss cheese, grilled onions, and sun dried tomatoes with fries. Talk about juicy and delicious! The Spinacio salad was delicious as well and light but filling. The chicken sandwich was dry and not good. The grilled bread was yummy but no mayo or anything on it. It was just dry. Do not recommend. They have seating outside near lavender fields which makes this place super relaxing and dreamy. Would definitely recommend while at Stanford. Very California fresh and lovely vibes!

Favorite little coffee spot! Workers are friendly and definitely remember the customers

Loved this little piece of heaven...made us feel like we were back in Italy. The setting and service and food were perfect.

Stumbled upon this place and ending up enjoying the restaurant! First of all, loved the location! You walk into this little area that's next to the other restaurant Vina Enoteca. You feel like you are in another city too! Anyway, the restaurant itself is very cute. A little cozy place with patio seating. It's a great place for anyone, including your most beloved pets! Plenty of parking. Ordered frittata with pancetta and toast with jam. It was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed every bite. Also ordered a butter croissant sandwich with ham and cheese paired with salad and oh my goodness the croissant was so soft and delicious! Loved how it still has a little crisp when I bit into it. Lastly, I ordered the donut stuffed with Nutella and it was so freaking good. Best way to end my meal. Service was superb! Definitely check out this spot if you haven't been to yet!

One of my favorite spots in Palo Alto. I've been coming here for over 10 years and always have a wonderful experience, whether dining in or taking out. The pollone sandwich and tuna panino are my two faves.
