California Cafe

New(?) coffee spot on California Ave! Dropped by while at the farmers market to try! Interior: super spacious and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. There is a kiosk to order and also an area for a cashier to take your order. Service: drink came out very quickly and pick up was easy. Drink: ok so my base order at all new coffee shops is a vanilla oat latte. The base latte here was $7.00, oat was $1.00, and vanilla flavoring wad $0.50. So total without tip for a latte was $8.50... While I know that coffee prices are increasing in the South Bay and up the peninsula.... $8.50 for a latte just isn't worth it to me. So while the coffee was good, for not being specialty flavored or anything, it was just ok when you factor in the price.

Standard coffee shop with standard drinks with seating for studying/work. Downside is that they didn't have bathrooms and we had to walk over to Zareen's to use their restroom. The oat milk latte was pretty average and a bit pricey for what we got. It was a nice place to try, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Stuff was friendly and took care of the order nicelyShop with minimalist design, comes with following Cons- expensive drink items for example, Small latte single shot $7.64- closes super early, 2pm- has no tall seats, standing size tablePros- nice location, lively, always something going on at this California Ave St

Beautiful new coffee shop in town! Walked here the other morning for coffee and wow-- it is beautiful and much more open and bright than the previous spot that was here. Service is great and my coffee was ready in less than 2 minutes! They have lavender syrup which I've found is rare for this area. I got an iced lavender oat milk latte and it was really great. Just wish the cup size was a little bit bigger for the price and that they had Splenda. Other than that, I'm a big fan and will be back:)

I am so happy to try the coffee here. It was amazing! The lentil soup had a warming flavor. All i can say is great Job and thank you for bringing this new space where i can have a place to relax and enjoy the amazing art of coffee.

Food: I love almond croissants but this one is deceiving to the eye. It looks good but was so limp and crumbled at the touch? Maybe it was just raw but overall the weirdest croissant I've ever had. Also the avocado toast was $18? That's insane even for Palo Alto...Coffee: I got the mocha and it was actually pretty good. Not sweet either which was great. The latte was very mid.Ambience: There was lot of people and the indoor outdoor setting was appealing. Most of the customers were chatting with a friend and a few had laptops out to work. It's interesting because they don't have wifi so I'm not sure what the people on the laptops are doing? They seem to be going under construction so there weren't any bathrooms available. You can tell they maintain the environment well and it was very nice and clean.Overall I would not recommend and will not be coming back. There are many coffee shops that are nearby and way more worth it. The best part was the ambiance but everything else missed the mark.

California Cafe is the perfect spot for a fresh, healthy bite! Their breakfast features eggs sourced from local farmers' markets, with every dish made using the finest local ingredients and produce. The menu offers delicious options like the California Bowl, creamy avocado toast, and comforting soups--lentil, tomato, and butternut squash. Whether you're craving a light breakfast or a nutritious lunch, this cafe has something to satisfy. The fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavors make every dish a delight. A must-stop today for a wholesome meal on California Ave!

First time here, a bright new spot that replaced the legendary Printers Inc Cafe on California Avenue. Sunday morning breakfast burrito: GF tortilla, egg, spinach, mushrooms and avocado. Light, tasty, fresh and good ingredients. The place is bright and sunny, with a friendly vibe, and a steady stream of customers coming for pickup or staying indoors our outdoors.It's always been a great location for meeting friends or just a quick light meal. We'll definitely be coming back. One drawback: no public toilet so you have to hike down the street for that. Hopefully they'll rectify that; this location has always suffered from plumbing issues.

Great ambiance and service. I'm personally not a coffee drinker, but love coffee shops and they have great alternatives...particularly their protein shakes. Highly recommend the "Muscle Up" for a post-workout refuel -- great place to relax.

Coffee is the best. Their lentil soup is to die for and the staff and owners are super friendly. The Place is beautiful and quiet, all the customers can easily enjoy coffee while replying e-mails. I can't wait for my next visit.
