A perfect downtown Menlo Park spot! Coffeebar is a fantastic, incredibly spacious espresso bar in a really nice area of downtown with friendly staff and cool vibes. They offer plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great place to relax or get some work done. A big variety of beverage options apart from coffee, opportunity to buy pastries on a deal, some food options. The Perks: * Reliable Wi-Fi and clean restrooms available. * Super convenient parking right in front of the entrance. * Awesome "Leo" the lion artwork pictured on the cups! I ordered a cappuccino, and it was exactly what I wanted - strong, smooth, and really nice. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

We have been here a few times, tried some sweet treats, this time we had food. Food was very good, we all enjoyed. We definitely recommend food! I tried their Juneteenth tea and I liked it. We also had an ice chai. They didn't have the mango lemonade ready and it was already 11:37am. Service is okay, wasn't very bad, nor great Unlike other coffee places we visit and we go to a lot , The customer service here doesn't feel welcoming, just very vague. No one calls name for order, just there for you to pick up, no one offers bags or utensils when taking 3 to go breakfast containers. read more

The iced ube latte was not good at all, I didn't realize it doesn't contain any espresso (which isn't stated anywhere on the menu - I found out through a photo on yelp as I was writing this review). The mocha was good, but not the best. A waste of $18... read more

Coffeebar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Menlo Park, California

This was my first time ever going to this coffee shop. I've always seen a lot of people go into this building with a briefcase or laptop, but I honestly thought it was an office building and not a workspace/coffee shop!! Lol. I was rather shocked to see it was a coffee shop, and I liked all their seasonal winter drinks! I wanted to try the Nordic water, but the barista said sadly they got hit really hard on Sunday with a bunch of coffee lovers and they ran out of the mixture. I decided to get a regular latte with almond milk and a gluten-free blueberry muffin as well as a chocolate croissant! All three items were delicious, and I was really surprised how creamy the almond milk was on the latte!! Almond milk usually taste kind of flat to me, but this almost taste like a hemp milk or perhaps a macadamia nut milk! I was very impressed!! Not to mention the gluten-free blueberry muffin, and the giant chocolate croissant was so flaky and crunchy with the perfect amount of chocolate inside!! Inside, there were two different work areas one could go to while the register area was towards the middle of the store. I really wish I could work from home and sit in this coffee shop all day and order lunch, a salad and maybe some avocado toast with a nice glass of wine! No joke they had all of that and more!! The only thing I would keep from giving them five stars is the area in which you're supposed to wait/stand as you're waiting for your drink. Since this was my first time here and it was a Monday around 11 AM, there seem to be a lot of people coming and going by the pick up counter. I stood off to the side, but I felt as if I was getting in everyone's way either in front or behind me. Lol the restrooms are also to the right hand side, so perhaps they were all going to and from the restroom or getting a booth?! Nevertheless, I didn't want to stand in the back of the café, where you could doctor up your drink because there's a trashcan there, but I felt I would block the walkway for people coming out of that seating area as well. Lol. I will definitely go back again, and I can't wait to try that Nordic latte!! read more

Really fantastic staff - not just delicious food and coffee! Super warm and helpful - helped me recover my treasured Roam stainless mug :)

This is my second Coffeebar location after visiting the Truckee one, and Menlo Park has the same relaxed, elevated vibe I liked there. It's not just a coffee shop -- they serve alcohol and food as well, so it works for everything from a quick caffeine stop to a casual meal. We ordered a matcha latte and the autumn spice tea latte, and both were solid. Well-balanced, not overly sweet, and great for a cozy afternoon. I already know I want to try their rooibos chai next time. For food, we shared the chicken and rice dish. Generous portion, plenty of avocado, and it tasted fresh and healthy without feeling boring. A great option if you want something more substantial than pastries. read more

Coffeebar is a downtown Menlo Park staple for locals and for those that know what this place is all about. What they represent to many is premium, high grade coffee, espresso based drinks, fresh pastries, light eats, and even wine and beer in a community like setting. In the past, I've usually ordered their Vanilla Latte, which by default is not overly sweet, and has a rich espresso aroma and taste. It's been some time, but I've also had their Cinnamon Roll and that was soft, moist and the icing was heavenly. Service had always been friendly and efficient. As for seating, the layout has booths, countertop seating and some tables, all laid out in a long hallway design. read more

I'm a huge fan of this coffee shop and their coffee. I love the interior design with it's nature feel and tree-trunk tables, etc. The coffee shop is huge with plenty of seating. There are different things going on in here from people just chatting it up with their friends, individuals studying and doing business work. I love the diversity, not to mention the radio station that was just on this morning was awesome! They were playing Teddy Pendergrass! The flap sign menu is such a great idea. Every so often, the board flips the menu into a new saying/quote. They have a good variety of pastries and sweet goods along with an actual lunch menu and afternoon wine for the adults. I tried their dark roast which was the Giuseppe flavor. It's pretty bold with a silky texture. I also like how they sell coffee by the 8 oz cup which is awesome because sometimes, a 12 oz cup can be a bit too much. Refills for drips are $1 which is reasonable. The employees here are nice and very friendly. There is no complaint from me. I like Coffee Bar and what they have to offer! read more

Coffeebar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Menlo Park, California

This is a really cute coffee shop in Menlo Park and probably the best coffee shop I've been to for studying. They have really comfortable booths and a huge variety of seating. The food menu is amazing. My only disappointment was that they couldn't take the cheese out of the breakfast burrito since it's premade. Instead I had the hot oats with peanut butter and it was delicious. I also had a dirty chai latte with oat milk that was amazing. Not too spicy, not too sweet. I liked the music selection and that it wasn't too loud. This is a great place to work, solo date or a meetup! read more

This review is 3.5 stars. This is a really great cafe. I was looking for a cafe where I could get some laptop work done, chill with a friend, have some good caffeinated drinks and maybe a small snack. The vibe was perfect for all of the above. But, the one thing that caused issue for me was the wifi. It was limited on time (I think you can sign up to use it for 2+ hours and there were few outlets available unless you were lucky enough to sit at a seat next to one. And for some reason, I had difficulty getting connected to their wifi on my laptop that day. I didn't get any work done. And I really needed to get work done. Love the cafe but wish it was more tech supportive for work. read more

This place has a very cool vibe - dog friendly place. The people taking the orders were smiling and relaxed. The avocado toast was great and the rice bowl was yum. I really enjoyed the lavender mocha. There was a car show going on - felt like I was in Monterey but didn't have huge crowds - just people who enjoy cars and loved sharing their passions. read more

Got a pumpkin latte, it was ok but they put so much cardamom on top I couldn't taste the pumpkin for a while... and I don't like cardamom so.... The veggie panini was good, nothing special. Visually it was underwhelming. The bread was crunchy. You can't go wrong with cheese, Basil & tomatoes... definitely wants worth $14... The place is spacious and packed! Staff are nice. But we ordered for here and they gave it to-go and person after us had ordered to go and gave him for here. And it took a long time for our stuff to be ready. So service was a bit off... read more

Coffeebar - Veggie panini - it was ok - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Menlo Park, California

This is a great, spacious cafe for working or chatting with friends! I love the ambiance, and the staff here are so friendly. Most importantly, the drink selection is awesome--with so many options to try! I can't wait to come back and explore more of the coffee menu. The cinnamon roll was surprisingly good; it looked really sweet but wasn't overly sugary, just what I was hoping for! I'll definitely be back. There's free parking right in front, along with street parking, and many great restaurants nearby. It's the perfect spot to visit before or after a meal! read more

Coffeebar is a cute coffee shop in downtown Menlo Park. Has lots of parking and great vibes. The lion on the outside door reminded me of lion king. Inside looks like a Starbucks converted into their own. I really love the look of this place and their drinks are great too. I usually get a hot mocha here and it's never failed. If I didn't have to hurry to work I would definitely take my time and enjoy this place. Coffeebar is a staple read more

I like this spot. Great vibe for working. But has room for improvements; toilett was not clean. There was an annoying beep running for more than two hours that made concentration harder. For such a pricey spot I expect more. read more

Hailing from the Lake Tahoe area, I went when they first opened, and giggled at their linguine coffee stirrers. I told myself I'd come back for the "bar" part of the shop but mostly failed to do so. I visited multiple stores including on the ski slopes, and told people about this large beautiful space. One critical thing that has gone downhill in the past few years is the coffee. There are a lot of top notch roasteries and baristas all around the Bay Area, and while I can settle for an average espresso if there are good pastries, the varying quality of the pull is a dealbreaker. I still like the space and would hang out here whenever I'm in downtown (although that has diminished since good coffee places have opened up across the tracks). The space is still nice, the staff is still friendly, but perhaps my taste in coffee has moved on. read more

Coffee and food are really good. The service is great everyone is nice and helpful. The atmosphere here and vibe is cool. I come here about 2 times a week and it's always busy but they are fast. Seating is limited, most people camp out and work so that plays a big factor in finding a place to sit. If you're doing a grab and go it's usually quick. read more

Coffeebar - Chicken and Rick Bowl with added egg and bacon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Menlo Park, California

It would be nice if this store was on doordash. We have to go to Redwood City Coffeebar for food and pastries when we put orders through doordash. * Environment friendly (recycle, compost, landfill supported), personal cup disocunt -$1.00 Good coffee, hard working smiling baristas. Pros - Tall seats in the front - Personal cup discounts - Nice Gibraltar and small coffee options Cons - nice part of the outside seating is gone; it's all parking spot now :( Closes 6pm everyday. read more

I got a double iced mocha which was about $6. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. I also got the huge chocolate chip cookie which I had higher expectations for. The dough is nice but I wish there were more chocolate shards throughout. The music selection was very fun indie rock which was a good vibe. There's a lot of seating but also a lot of people. Only some tables have outlets. Free wi-fi! Ample parking in lots nearby with a 3 hour limit. read more

As we walked up we were greeted by our friendly barista. Since we were new here. It took us some time to make a decision on our coffee. The barista was very patient with us. We ordered a breve latte and a pistachio rose mocha. Very well done with latte art and great flavor. Calm but slightly busy with relaxing music playing for a nice ambiance. I can understand why they would be busy. They do a really good job here. Happy we found this place. read more

I came back today after a few months away, having visited regularly before I graduated. Unfortunately, this experience was quite disappointing compared to my previous visits. When I ordered, the cashier was unusually terse, sticking to one-word questions--"name, size, to-go?"--with no greeting or friendliness. I asked for a latte and a cookie, warmed, to have here, but the cookie was handed to me in a bag instead of on a plate. I clarified again that I wanted it warmed, and she microwaved the cookie--with the bag--for about 30 seconds, which made it so hot I could barely hold it. The barista who called my name seemed rushed, even though there weren't any customers behind me. I noticed her set down another customer's latte so abruptly that it sloshed and spilled on the counter, which she didn't clean up. When she set down my drink, she did the same thing, although luckily it didn't spill. The coffee and cookie themselves were still good, as always. However, I was honestly shocked at the decline in service, since I've consistently had great experiences here in the past. I made a special trip to get some work done here, but after today, I'm considering other options for the future. read more

Coffeebar - Tiramisu Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Menlo Park, California

It's so nice to find a fairly large sized coffee shop around the area where you can sit and do work! Their matcha latte is my go to and has a pretty good deep, slightly bitter matcha flavor which is what I prefer when it comes to the taste of matcha lattes. The chorizo breakfast burrito is super solid and though not huge, will leave you satiated. Would definitely return to try the breakfast egg sandwich! Don't forget to grab a giant chocolate chip cookie to go to share with someone! Parking is plentiful in the parking lot! read more

The best decaf! Coffee bar has won me over with their decaf espresso and their 90% consistency. Service is always, always, always polite. I love to sit and the Menlo Park location early in the morning and it is almost as serene as an ashram. A great way to collect one's thoughts for the day. read more

This is one of the hidden gems of Redwood City coffee scene. This entire lane looks like it's built for tourists, and there are a lot of restaurants, small little coffee, shops, and boutiques built an amazing vibe there. When you enter this coffee shop, you would see open seating, and their system is pretty well designed to go place the order and take the available Table or perhaps share a table with somebody and have a little chat with somebody. We took a regular cappuccino, a coffee or breakfast with sandwich shakshuka Their services grade but I felt that it was not well organized. They could have been even faster. We saw the orders coming in for others who came after us but still I would go back and enjoy a good vibe and have a nice coffee. They were really nice. read more

I went with my friend, she had a friend that recommended this place. Located right there by Oak Grove on Chestnut it just left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. I mean clearly if I wanted to be in a study hall at a University on a weekend I could be. It just really is distracting. Especially when these people are taking up a whole table and have not bought anything. So frustrating. All the poor patrons that have to sit outside, or have no place to sit. Consequently since study hall was in session ;-) we had to sit outside. I will say that their almond croissant was great, the coffee not so much. Perhaps it since it was lukewarm and in a big chipped cup. So that was really not my favorite. So without too much negativity and complaining here, what was good? So the service and the people that worked there were great , their pastries were nice! So there you have it. ; read more

I love Coffeebar! This is one of the best coffee shops around! Coffee is amazing, it is seriously one of the top best spots for quality coffee which is generally always made well here. I love their food and pastries, have tried quite a few like veggie or sausage burrito, salads, avocado toast and a great variety of pastries. Their earl grey bun is so delicious and always sells out pretty quick, I highly recommend it! You can have pastries microwaved to warm up. The employees here work really hard, many of them are really easy going and helpful when ordering. I love their crew. And when I say they work really hard, I mean it. This place is packed like non stop. Sometimes you're lucky not having to stand in a line for long, other times it will take a bit to order your coffee so keep that in mind. It's not a drive through express service. They don't have a drive thru btw. The only downfall to this place is finding a seat anywhere how busy it is. Especially during cold weather, inside gets packed with people taking up chairs and tables for ages. Lots of laptops around and people pretty much never leaving the coffee shop. I think what makes this place most challenging is the customer base that frequents this coffee shop which is not the coffee shop's fault. Let's just say the customers are not much friendly or welcoming. Even though you pay tip, it is appreciated if you pick up after yourself. But a lot of customers don't and just leave stuff around like entitled savages. The staff here picks up and cleans after customers but it is super busy so it's hard for them to keep up sometimes. I commend the staff servicing such difficult clientele in this area. They usually run out of in house mugs so I recommend to bring your own mug otherwise you'll have to get a to go paper cup quite often. Often they've been out of saucers as well. I bring my own water glass as well. They have a water dispensing area. I just prefer to use less disposable cups and have my own coffee mugs when I can. They have a coffee mug program too where you pay monthly and you can have your coffee mug reserved there for use I believe. I haven't tried it yet because I bring my own coffee mugs instead when I can. I love drinking out of house mugs than paper cups. It's up to you, if the compostable paper mugs don't bug you as much then you're fine either way. Always get your receipt, I do via text. Often there's so many orders and your spot in line might get lost etc. I just politely remind them about my food order. It takes some time to get your drink and food as like I said they're super busy all the time pretty much. There's some outdoor seating that's nice, indoor is comfier I think. Booths are always claimed for hours, it's kind of a miracle if you get to sit on one as like I said customers here spend hours on their laptops, zoom/phone calls and are so self centered as the whole world apparently evolves around them all the time... I am so appreciative for the amazing coffee, food and staff that puts up with these entitled customers. Yes I tip and I'm happy to support the staff here who are working really hard to keep up with so many orders and I do put away my trash. I find it to be a courtesy of decency I'd like to exhibit. There's a parking lot for the coffee shop and street parking as well. Often they can be packed. Give yourself some patience when coming here to spend the time to find parking, a spot to sit in and your coffee and food to arrive. They're busy because the coffee shop is awesome. I love the music they play here, always good beats whether it is indie, r&b, the playlists are amazing. I love coming here and enjoying their coffee and food many many times. Highly recommend this coffee shop! read more

Cute coffee shop with plenty of seating. They also have a parking lot right next door and plenty of street parking! My friend really enjoyed their jasmine rose tea. While I was here I tried their cheddar scone and ube latte. While I didn't try their other food options, they have an expansive food menu that includes both light bites and more heavy items. I noticed that by mid afternoon they had run out of most of their pastries and some milks including coconut milk. Overall enjoyed the vibe here, love the large amount of space and friendly workers. It's a great place to catch up with some friends or do some work. Their hours are quite awesome, opening in the morning at 6:30 and closing at 6pm. read more

When I ordered my cappuccino this morning, the milk tasted burnt which means it was over steamed. You need to train your baristas better. Additionally, you charged extra for a double shot, which should be the standard for a typical cafe drink. When the barista gave me my cappucino, it was in a larger cup than it should've been, practically making it a latte. So, not only did I not get what I ordered, I overplayed for it and had my morning ruined. Will not be returning. read more

Iced ube latte was mediocre, had a slight ube flavor but I was hoping for stronger. Jasmine rose latte tasted better. Accurate flavor profile and milk foam was made well. Earl grey morning bun tasted just like Earl grey tea, but the pastry itself could've been softer. There is indoor and outdoor seating if you want to work, study, read, or do whatever. However the only tables available when I went were kind of dirty and I had to wipe them down myself. read more

I have been going to this location to study recently and have had their iced matcha latte with oat milk and chicken rice bowl. The iced matcha latte didn't have a super strong matcha flavor and tasted more like milk. The chicken rice bowl was good and the green goddess dressing tay went with it paired well. This will likely be a new go to spot for me. The staff was friendly and the place is a great environment to meet up with people or do some work. read more

This place is walking steps from my office so I go here at least once a month for coffee. I love their ambiance because its pretentious enough but not overwhelming. Great place to meet a friend or sit and work (but there is music - not too loud but still pretty audible if you are looking for a quiet place for meetings or want to focus). Their coffee is nice but I have to say that it is pretty expensive for the size of their cups. An 8 oz oat milk latte comes out to be around $7 + tax and tips. So this is a splurge place for me and I only go here once in a while. The service is decent. I found some baristas to be warm and welcoming whereas some are straight face and uninterested in providing a service. For food they do have a nice menu with sandwiches, toasts and some breakfast items. They have pastries as well but I really really wish that they have some egg-free or vegan options in there. I'm giving it 4 stars because of the ambiance and good tasting coffee! read more

Love the ambiance! Great music and aesthetic inside for a remote work day. The coffee is amazing! Try a dirty coconut chai latte or the honey almond latte. The food, however, is not astounding. It's good, not great. In Menlo Park, the bar is pretty high on quality. For that reason, I withhold the fifth star for the price point. read more

This is a nice place to have a coffee catchup with friends or even to set up to work for the day. The coffee selection was great and there were a fair amount of vegan options as well. The shop itself had a good ambiance about it and it was well-equipped for WFH folks in the area. The coffee was well-made. I wouldn't say this would be a destination coffeeshop for me, but definitely a nice place to set up to work for the day when in the area. read more
