Google Visitor Experience Cafe

Who knew that Google would provide such an amazing coffee shop and café at their Google Visitor Experience location? This spot -- located at the new primary Google campus building -- is wonderfully serene. The drink selection is very nice and quite premium. You can order quite a few different coffee selections here that you might not be able to find elsewhere. The service by the baristas and kitchen staff is very personal and satisfactory. The food selections are good too -- although I wish that they offered just a bit more variety (including hot foods). If you're visiting Google for the first time or if you live nearby, this is a must-visit spot. It's a bit less pretentious than the store and café found at Apple Park in Cupertino. So, the laid-back, tech-centric and friendly ambiance found here makes this place a really nice spot to visit. There is plenty of free parking in the area (especially along Amphitheatre Parkway...or even in the Amphitheatre parking lot itself).

In one day, we checked out the Google campus, the Nvidia campus and the Apple campus. Other than a rude lady blocking entrance to an intersection (not a Google employee at all) for an upcoming concert and having a hard time finding visitor parking, we had a good time. Most welcoming compared to the other two campuses. Parking is right across the street South side?) but there's no signage stating the fact at all. The experience is wonderful and the food is locally sourced. We ordered a few sandos (Sammies) and a tomato soup as well as the butternut squash soup. Highlight was definitely the butternut squash soup. Highly recommended! The place is small but felt like I was part of the UN with the crowd around us. Languages from around the world. There's also a park across the street where you can walk around. I believe you can even use their bikes. I didn't try since the bikes are too big for my kids. Worth checking out.

I was in Mountain View for work. I ran 3miles at the marina next door. After I drove over to the google store parking area. Not a bad place. I would take friends/family here as a tour of south bay. The workers recommended steak sandwich. The drink barista workers need to work on their customer service rude and gave me attitude. I came over to pickup my drink and they said someone took it. I said I didn't pick it up. They had to pour mine. After I went on the google store and purchased one kid shirt for my daughter and one adult size for myself.

I love Google's cafe! They do a great job sourcing local and delicious foods. Plus, they're super friendly. Come here with your family or friends and sit in their beautiful cafe.

After seeing the selection at the Apple park store cafe, I'm pretty content with the Google Visitor Experience Cafe. The cafe is right at the corner of the visitor experience entrance, slapped between the Huddle room and the Google store. It has both outdoor and indoor seating, tables are first come, first served. One line for the food and drinks ordering, drinks are picked up at the beverage bar, food at the opposite end of the kitchen. If you do pick a table outside, you should check in once a while for the drinks, the buzzer you get is only for the food.Food selection is pretty decent. You have choices like sandwiches, salads, small pastas, soups. Breads are from Acme Bread, some dishes from Cowgirl Creamery. It's like you have the choices at the Ferry Building but in Mountain View. I forgot who was the local roaster, but very decent coffee. Soup and salads were of decent portions, I had a tomato bisque, a citrus salad, and a coffee and was full for about 3 hours, which was not bad considering it was my first meal after a workout.The environment was quite chill. I wouldn't make a whole trip out of just to dine here, but it's pretty good for the convenience of dining here before or after wandering around the campus.

Love the Google Visitor Center. It's a great place to take people visiting the valley. Some might say it's just a Google Products store but I think it's so much more fun because you get to see the iconic Google Campus, art from Burning Man, look for Android statues, and eat at a nice cafe. The food is also decent at the cafe with reasonable pricing. The staff is nice and friendly. Overall, I think it's a fun place to visit and take friends.

Everything is single floor space so easy to walk and navigate. The cafe is attached to the pop up shop as well as their huddle room. The huddle space is a space separated by game side and a tableSide where you can work and eat. No eating allowed at the games table. Popup shop with cute. The cafe employees were so friendly, they had so many free samples of the baked goods. My son had a great time especially because it was his birthday. I think if you're in the area nice to do a quick stop by. Literally a 5 minute thing unless you wanna stop and work in the cafe.

I've always wanted to feel like an elite Google tech bro in Silicon Valley, so touring this visitor cafe on the Google campus that's open to the public is the closest thing there is!We visited on a summer Saturday, when it gets quite busy. The interior and decor of the cafeteria is very visually appealing, clean, and minimalistic. There's a wide variety of items on the menu, including a huge selection of baked in-house pastries like cupcakes and eclairs. We ordered a massive feast fit for even the hungriest Google employee:Strawberry Dragonfruit (4/5): This drinks just tastes like ordinary juice, but it's a big cup and very refreshing.Oat Latte (5/5): This was our biggest suprise -- comparable to coffee in Seattle! It goes down the throat smoothly. Crispy Ruben (5/5): The corned beef is a little too greasy, but it definitely is cooked crispy like bacon and very well seasoned. Served with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese on toasted rye, this was our favorite item!Smoked Salmon Toast (chef's special) (2/5): The toast is smothered with a generous amount of some kind of salmon pate-like cream cheese mousse, which made this dish way too salty. The smoked salmon itself was okay.Chocolate Eclair (2/5): This eclair didn't taste that fresh, maybe it was from yesterday? It also had too much thick white custard cream inside, oozing all over our mouths and a giving us a richness overdose. Overall, the food and ambiance is actually pretty decent for a convenient lunch when you are at the Google Visitor Experience. Definitely worth checking out for the experience if you're touring the area.

I had the opportunity to try Cafe at Mountain View again. The interior and decor is so pretty! Lots of seatings indoors and outdoors. I enjoyed their turkey club sandwich. There was lots of smashed avocado which I appreciated. Great portions for the price. The tomato bacon jam that they use, adds a nice sweetness to every bite. All the ingredients tasted fresh and worked so well together. The creamy tomato basil soup still continues to be my fave. Very good and consistent from my last visit. It goes well with a nice grilled cheese sandwich. Don't forget to try their refreshing drinks and order some delicious treats! Service was nice and friendly. I can't wait to go back!

This was my first time here and I definitely enjoyed my meal here! The staff had great customer service and we did not have to wait long for our food. They have self serve indoor and outdoor seating and it was very clean inside. We had the Cafe Steak Sandwich and the Citrus Salad. Thanks to Chef Wiz for suggesting the Steak Sandwich! It was a great combination of toasted baguette bread, aioli sauce, crispy onions, and most importantly super tender steak! They have a great assortment of sandwiches, pastries, soups, salads, and beverages. Prices are affordable with the quality of food they serve. I would definitely go back to try the other items. Highly recommend!
