Alexis F.

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.

Went for breakfast and the spot is cute inside. They have multiple options and I ordered a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese. Other items ordered were the breakfast sandwich and iced dirty chai. The food and chai were delicious and this spot is nice for people wanting to work or school work. The service was great, would recommend checking it out!

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 :)

I noticed Gregorys Coffee moved in when Starbucks moved out a while ago. I had been curious as to…read morehow good their coffee was, but there was always a line and I chose to go when there wasn't one. I tried an Americano a little while ago and it was quite good. 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.

Be careful if you're gluten free. ASK QUESTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY. The menu is not accurate. Their…read moreoatmeal when I visited is NOT gluten free, even though it's marked on the menu as such. They had the regular Quaker Oats instant oatmeal, NOT the GF version. The English muffins contain wheat, even though they do not list wheat on their menu. It seems they're just trying to be trendy (but careless) with their menu rather than actually paying attention to food safety. I would prefer a coffee shop just own their lack of gluten-free options. I would still go somewhere for good coffee and good service. The only reason I'm giving three stars instead of one is because their cashier was patient and knowledgeable. She checked the ingredients of the English muffins for me. And she already knew the oatmeal was not the correct GF version when I asked about it. She saved me from getting glutened. A++ for the cashier. They also had soy milk, which I was happy about.

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.

We also got their seasonal flavor orange cream latte and it was so delicious. The orange was light in flavor but enough to taste the orange notes and the consistency with the whole milk was decadent. Not too sweet. Definitely will come back when in the area again.

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. FWIW: I'm not a coffee sage who demand specific regions, roast or rules. Flight: cold brew, cortado, shot and latte. No sugar. 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.

The menu selection is nice and simple, offering matcha and hojicha options. There are also small desserts like cheesecakes, cake rolls whole or slice and tiramisu.

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.

"Rich, but not too sweet"…read more I stopped in during a day walking around the Stanford Shopping Center. The owner was in and gave us an introduction to the pâtisserie and a sample of the Hokkaido milk crêpe cake. It was rich and creamy, but also light and airy because of the many layers of crêpes. I was craving matcha today so I took a slice home. It had a true, luxurious matcha taste! IIRC the owner said they use quality matcha from Kyoto. I could taste it in every decadent bite. Everything about the matcha cake was well balanced: the ratio of ingredients, the subtle sweetness, all so that the matcha notes could shine. Not only were the desserts simply perfect, they were so beautifully presented too. There was no indoor seating but there's plenty of outdoor seating in the shopping center for that lovely outdoor cafe experience. Highly recommend for when you want a (not too) sweet treat. I'll be coming back for that panna cotta next time!

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.
