It is good to have a spot in Palo Alto that is not pricey with good quality food. Well, the mocha I got is not as creamy as I expected. So my first reaction about food is not brilliant. However, when I ate that breakfast croissant, it is the game changer. The eggs are fluffy, the croissant is crispy with many layers like what good croissants should have. I love how it is flavor with sweet onion jam (compote?). It makes this one of the best breakfast croissants I have. The cafe itself looks new and clean, and it is nice to see the chef around, serving and asking us how food is. This is a place worth visiting. And I think you now know what to order 🙂

I’m obsessed with trying every dish of Chef Julien at Redwood Café since I had my first Croque Monsieur there. I had salads, sandwiches, croissants, weekly specials (you’ll have to order them the day before). Each dish was generous, delicious with an intriguing creative “je ne sais quoi”. The coffee room is comfortable, modern furniture with simple lines, cozy sofas, natural lighting, green plants, view on the redwoods and again the creative notes on the walls with colorful reproductions of Banksy’s street art. Chef Julien does also catering and could be your private chef. You have to try it or you’ll miss a foodie experience.

I started working downtown this year and was so disappointed by all of the lunch options around University Ave. Then I found this GEM that has become my go-to place! The salads are truly amazing and are such a good value for money; the homemade pastries are incredible and taste like you are in France. The little hidden back patio is the best setting I have found downtown. If you are looking for a delicious (and affordable!) lunch spot in Palo Alto, this is by far the best option!!

I saw the fancy Italian espresso machine so I guess I was expecting a good latte but I should have known by the lack of microfoam – on first sip I completely burned my entire mouth.

I recently found this place while on a walk and have been going 2-3x a week for breakfast and lunch. Their croissant breakfast sandwich is, in my opinion, the best breakfast sandwich in downtown Palo Alto. And I have been to most of the places over the last year. They use a homemade sweet onion jam on them that left me speechless. They also make great lattes, cappuccinos, and espresso shots. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great breakfast or lunch spot in Palo Alto, either alone, with friends, or a meeting spot outside the office.

Checked out this new cafe / restaurant by Chef Julien who also does home meals and catering. Ordered the chocolate croissant and chocolate torsade to go. Both were great, but the torsade was the most delicious. Extremely affordable and appreciate not paying $6-7 a croissant. These are smaller than the other bakeries but “normal” size. Will return.
