Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near University South, Palo Alto

Davita S. • December 23, 2015Nice cafe with more low key vibes compared to Philz. Best outside seating in Palo Alto for cafes.

Rachel R. • June 20, 2017Gorgeous, large patio. They take reservations before 6pm

Bob F. • January 13, 2016Great coffee selection. Loved the New Manhattan blend.

Jackie W. • January 2, 2019Try the veggie ramen, really nice and rich broth, and the hashes are super good!!

Claire • October 28, 2016The best meal in Palo Alto! You should try Ice cream and milkshake!

Suzy C. • June 15, 2017This isn't a winery, but when you need wine, you need wine! It's super cute and right off University. Perfect place to go before dinner, and why not...after dinner too. Small inside, so best for 2.

G J. • September 13, 2013Try the Lemongrass Seabass - With glass noodles and mango, one of the best dishes I've had this year. Restaurant lived up to hype!

Douglas G. • August 17, 2019They make the waffle cones fresh behind the counter. Get one in a cup (like a tortilla) if you don’t normally like cones.

Marc K. • January 24, 2019Loved, love, loved the food here! One of the more ‘upmarket’ Greek tavernas I’ve eaten at and each dish (shared plates) did not disappoint! Opa!! Get the Octopus and the sautéed greens.

Chris M. • March 16, 2022Probably the best brunch place in town. Come early to find a seat. The latte is awesome and the fried chicken maple is divine. 10/10

Christian D. • May 30, 2017Great salads! The hummus salad had little hummus but great taste. Good portion too.

LocoCat • December 28, 2012The Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We love it more than the BCP at Mission Pie in SF. Fresh bananas, perfect custard (not too firm not too runny) and a thick graham cracker crust!

Karla • October 6, 2019Beautiful space. Expensive as expected. But I can always count on them for a single origin recent roast from Ethiopia. Pastries are excellent. Lovely patio on the corner of University and High.

Connie S. • August 9, 2011Amazing corn bread, great gumbo too

Ailie C. • February 10, 2022Monkey Buns, Sesame Leaf, Black Pepper Cauliflower and solid. I’m always a fan of Butter Chicken. Wrap it up with Passion Fruit with Lychee Milk Ice, Berries and Meringue.
