    I was craving a Vietnamese coffee and found this location on Yelp. The area and location looks a bit sketchy & parking can be harder to find. I walked in and was not greeted, but I was able to order on a touch screen. The people behind the counter did not seem very friendly or interested in helping me place my order. I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee add cold foam. It was underwhelming and just ok to me. I'm used to Vietnamese coffee being very strong, this one lacked flavor and tasted watered down- definitely not worth the almost $8 I spent. I would not be back.

    Croissant breakfast sandwich and latte

    This was a nice place to get some work done while enjoying a fresh and tasty croissant and egg breakfast sandwich. Pretty good latte too. I'd be curious to try their Asian food next time!

    Breakfast Club
    Sushant Z.

    Disappointing. Breakfast club did not look like all the other pics and the filling of the croissant was haphazardly put together. Small pieces of lettuce, small egg portion, and no cheese. Not neat, squashed, and thrown in the box. Parking was difficult to find. Atmosphere was not as relaxing as the other reviews say. Kind of messy storefront (coffee supplies and extra beverages are in full view) and tables aren't clean. Women's bathroom was stopped up and needs regular cleaning. At least the smoked salmon bagel and drip coffee were good. Cashier was very nice.

    Vanilla cream cold brew

    Disappointed because I loved Brew! It's a beautiful convenient little coffee shop. I ordered a vanilla cream cold brew. I explained to the cashier the cream was bad & the coffee was watered down. And she said sorry there's nothing else I can do. I'll have to find another coffee shop!

    I was looking for some viet iced coffee close to me in RWC, I found this place via search and let me tell you, this tastes so damn good and I'm caffeinated for sure! I love it. Parking might be a challenge but I got lucky with parking in front. They do have good looking food but decided I didn't need anything right now. Their service was friendly and inside it's really nice! I recommend this place!

    I went looking for some coffee. This place had good reviews so I drove over there. This neighborhood has street parking only. Luckily it's free parking. It's kinda a mash up of coffee shop restaurant. It's kinda old looking from the outside. The lady taking the order was very friendly. I got a couple of iced lattes. Surprisingly the lattas has a nice strong expresso taste,she had the right balance of expresso to milk. I guess the reviews were correct.

    House fried rice, drunken noodles
    Karen L.

    Three years on... if I'm ever close to RWC Costco or just passing by Fair Oaks, I'll always come to Brew. Parking here is challenging, but the food and drinks and service make the 1-2 block walk over well worth it. Trust me! Today we ordered full meals, since we didn't have lunch: * drunken noodles with chicken - medium spicy was indeed medium spicy! Great portion, not overcooked, and plated so nicely for a coffee shop. * house fried rice - this fried rice is like a best kept secret. Wonderfully flavored and packed to the brim with vegetables (broccoli, Napa cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms). It's also not super greasy. Also, beautiful plating. * Aloha Sunrise smoothie - soy milk, strawberry, banana, and coconut. So creamy and so good. Exactly what was described and exactly what I imagined. * Vietnamese iced coffee - fairly sweet but well-balanced! A wonderfully refreshing drink on a hot day for those not inclined towards boba. I love Brew. I hope it sticks around for a long, long time. Come out and support the lovely folks at this coffee shop!! I'll be back tomorrow for a bagel :)

    Great Spot & Efficient with a chill ambience, good variety of healthy and good tasting food. Great drinks too!

    Smoked Salmon Sandwich
    Amber F.

    Nice spot for studying or working. The staff were nice and the general atmosphere was calm and quiet (it never got too busy/crowded). I ordered the salmon bagel ($12) and hot milk tea ($6). At first, I was hesitant because it looked small from the outside, but I was pleasantly surprised. Will be back!

I became a huge fan of Americano the first time tried in Rome many years ago. As a coffee drinker I simply thought an Americano was a watered-down espresso. I learned there is a little more to it. The Americano is my favorite coffee, although I usually drink a brewed black coffee. GC's Americano is very good and will probably be my go-to order there. Service was good and the young man behind the counter was quick to offer an Americano when I learned their regular black was being brewed. Anyway, I found a good spot for a coffee break (between shopping) whenever I am down at Stanford. And...the pics.

The salted caramel syrup is very strong after I mixed it in, and I do feel like they can add more matcha. I came here to do some work but found the seating area to lack convenient outlets. There are only two, and one of them is in the middle of an aisle, so no one can really sit there. Workers seem to be having a good time, laughing and singing along to the music. I did find it peculiar that they started putting up the tables and chairs around me ~2 hours before they closed. I felt a bit awkward about staying but then I was confused as to why they had started cleaning up so early.

I guess that it's known to have good coffee and nice exterior. It looks really nice inside but outside is way better due to scenic the atmosphere is. Bunch of plants, cars driving, people walking on sidewalks, good view of other businesses, etc. It's really a good setting for studying and working. Perhaps, many university students go here for that. I saw many people use their laptops and devices. Back to the interior, it looks really modern and a perfect fit for a coffee place. I didn't really get something crazy, but I did had cafe au lait. Tastes like usual, but their prices are quite expensive since that drink was $6.30, which can be twice as expensive as the ones from low-end cafes. However, it's worth the stay and experience. I did stay outside and I honestly like it. It's probably going to be one of go to places for coffee whenever I visit downtown.

Certainly a neighborhood feel with dogs, strollers, and the typical guys on laptops. There was only one seat available and it was positioned in the back row facing the crowd.

Two types of beans with cards describing where they come from and what flavors to expect. Experience was pleasant, even though the place was crowded. The coffees themselves were just ok. I was told what order to drink them in and I finished (90%), all but the iced version - something about the light roast with sour notes really put me off. Reasons to return: People watching- excellent. So many strollers with human and canines in them. Stayed for 1.5 hrs Coffee- good. Didn't love everything they served but they were purposeful in teaching about beans and prep. Service- fine. Person taking the order was lovely, person serving the order was clinical. No smiles on this guy.

This cafe specializes in Asian inspired drinks, roll cakes, basque cheesecakes, as well as Japanese puddings. The interior is super Japandi / minimalistic aesthetic. Their desserts have also been officially marked as "not too sweet" by my inlaws so you know it's got that Asian parent stamp of approval! I haven't tried the basque cheesecakes and the puddings, but have been a repeat customer for their roll cakes. So far I've tried their matcha, coffee, and black sesame roll cakes and all are fantastic. Super strong flavors and the chiffon cake isn't too dry. I will say for a single slice the price is quite steep, but it /is/ located in Palo Alto so rent is not cheap I would assume. Also if you wanted an entire roll, you have to order 2 business days in advance.

The Anton location in the mall is only takeaway, so you just order at the counter and go. They do provide a very pretty and well-constructed cardboard tray with a napkin/utensil holder built in if you tell them you're eating at one of the patio tables. Very thoughtful! We had a slice of their best seller, the Hokkaido milk charcoal crepe, which cost $12/slice. Simply put, the crepe was just too dry and overcooked. I personally look for crepe texture to be a little QQ (soft, but with some bite) and this was borderline rubbery. The skin also wasn't smooth: you could even see all the bubbles that formed. Cream was okay, nothing special or particularly "Hokkaido" about it; I've had dairy in Hokkaido and this didn't have any of the richness I remember. The little crunchy chocolate-covered wafer balls were a net negative to the experience. The sweetness of the chocolate was way too overpowering for how delicate the cream was, and I did not like the crunchy texture in the context of a crepe cake at all.
