David CalhounApril 1, 2014Cool atmosphere, but has been way too crowded the last few times I was there. Students and Silicon Valley sycophants flock here.
I don't even like tea but the elephant vanilla chai latte is heaven
They are excellent in making specialty foods like shrimp quesadilla and nutella crepe... But fail at making scramble eggs...
- Maarten den BraberOctober 16, 2013Get the burger - it's delicious! And you can pay in Bitcoin too :-)
No wifi on the weekends - perfect time to curl up with your laptop and a latte and actually get some work done!
If you see Kevin Doerr, ask him to buy you a hot chocolate!
Jon PierceNovember 28, 2012The tiger spiced chai is tasty but super sweet. Probably more accurately classified as a dessert!
Penguina IcelandJuly 5, 2014Great setting, nice for chiilin'. Food average, but good arepas. Coffee average - we didn't finish ours
Try the Beverly Hills chopped salad, with dressing on the side or on top. You can't go wrong, man.
The Vietnamese coffee isn't as strong an offering as their other drinks. It's not bad, though.
Angela RodriguezJanuary 11, 2012If you come here a lot you get a free coffee or tea if you have a FiveStars card. FTW.

Great chai and hot chocolate. I don't drink coffee but I assume that is good too.
Bryan CalabreseAugust 16, 2010Follow @coupacafe on Twitter and watch for their whisper word specials! Also try the Empanadas ...they are delicious!
- Simon JosefssonNovember 6, 2014Sit outside because AC inside is not very effective so when it is crowded it gets hot
jan hubertJuly 20, 2013This place is so popular they can't keep up with the traffic. We waited 15 minutes or more for our food and my eggs were cold. Coffee was good and strong, but that was it. They were overwhelmed.
There's no wrong choices at Coupa! Enjoy everything and take your time to people watch!
