Tom McGhan: Whether you're grabbing a bite at Cocina Latina, a latte from the barista, doing some laundry, bowling a strike, bustin' a move at the danceplex or getting fixed up at the Tech Stop, CL3 has it ALL.
Tom McGhan: Jia normally serves various Asian food, but on Fridays at TGIF, it's a wonderland of gluttony, items ranging from fresh cookies to italian sausage to chips & nacho cheese. Oh, and there's beer too :)

Tom McGhan: One of the few cafés at Google not managed by Bon Appetit. Because of this, Googlers often flock here for a change of pace with slightly different ingredients that back the american-style cuisine.

Tom McGhan: Hiding on the second floor is a DDR Machine, sporting 5th mix! Just don't go sneaking into the building to get your feet on it unless you work here, ok? That's what google.com/jobs is for :)
Tom McGhan: Formerly "No Name Café" for many years, this was recently renovated, changing up the layout to be more streamlined, and naming it after Urs Hölzle's dog, Yoshka, Google's "first dog".
Tom McGhan: The "original" Google cafe, it was named for Google's first chef, Charlie Ayers, who also used to cater for The Grateful Dead! He was also (in)famous for refusing to allow ketchup, which he hated.
Tom McGhan: "The Hub" is popular for more than just the barista! Projectors with DirecTV make it a gathering space to watch anything from presidential debates to Monday Night Football to the final shuttle launch!
