My favorite cafes

Independently owned and run by people who love and live super high quality coffees and teas. Baristas are awesome perfectionists. Choices are phenomenal for both purists and those who like creative mixing of flavors & ingredients. Coffees roasted on site. Funky, communal vibe, total lack of pretense. Completely outdoor. Wear appropriate outdoor attire. Good place to work.

I've not shopped here yet, but I'm listing it here b/c it's walking distance to the studio. I've been to other Grocery Outlet stores in other cities. Generally they will carry some produce in addition to packaged staples at good prices.

Love going to this long time Palo Alto establishment to browse books and gifts before walking to dinner at Teleferic Barcelona. Get an ice cream or coffee afterwards, this shopping center across the street from Stanford University has something for everyone.

Planning for Getting Around & Traffic

Palo Alto is a small town with only 67k residents. But the number of people that come here to work, play, or study doubles on weekdays, and nothing demonstrates this daily transformation as clearly as weekday rush hour although it’s slightly better than pre-pandemic. I recommend checking Google Maps or Waze for optimal commute times. If you are going to San Francisco and are vaccinated, take Caltrain. You can even bring a beverage—any beverage! Great way to use that hour to catch up on reading.

Food Takeout & Delivery

I suggest using a delivery service like Amazon Prime Now, Whole Foods, Good Eggs for prepared meals and groceries. I recommend ordering takeout and using curbside pick up service whenever possible. You can search on "restaurants near me". Order on the restaurant's site when possible so they get paid directly. We avoid services like DoorDash or Postmates because they take a big cut. Food recommendation: Kali Kitchen (Greek), Zareen's (Indian), Terun (Mediterranean), Pastis (French), Flea St. Cafe (Calif), and Izzy's (bagels). For coffee we like Ada’s Cafe and Backyard Brew.
