We went to Coupa Cafe for a quick breakfast. We ordered Cappucino's, the breakfast crepe and the turkey avo crepe. My son had a panini and banana nutella crepe. My wife tried the delicious dark mocha (she said it was way too sweet and they only put in 1/2 the chocolate powder). The normal cappucino was good. My family liked the crepes but the crepe skin was too thick. We prefer the thinner skins on our crepes. This was like tortilla thick. The turkey avocado crepe tasted just like a turkey sandwich :) My son liked his panini however the bread was not crispy at all, he said it was soft and mushy. He loved his banana nutella crepe though. Would we go back ? Yes we would, the food wasn't bad...it was a good breakfast (just not great)
A wonderful brunch spot in Palo Alto. The lattes were smooth and flavorful, and both the French toast and breakfast crepe were absolutely delicious. The friendly, welcoming service made the experience even better. Definitely a place we would love to visit again.
Wonderful spot to enjoy brunch in Palo Alto! Both my decaf latte and my partner’s vanilla latte were delicious and we enjoyed the French toast and breakfast crepe. Shoutout to the friendly servers and we highly recommend!
The food is great. It is easy to order and food is served quickly. The deserts are great. Avoid sitting close to the cashier, if they are not in a good mood they yell all the time the names of those who don't give tips during ordering.
Coupa Cafe – Ramona in Palo Alto is a large yet cozy spot that’s easy to settle into. I tried the avocado toast with added eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, and tofu, and the avocado portion was already quite generous. The only thing I wished for was a crunchier, more toasted bread instead of the softer texture it came with. The cortado was really good and nicely balanced. Customer service stood out as well, with kind and polite staff throughout. I’d definitely come back again.
Excellent food and awesome vegetarian and vegan options. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu! Super family friendly environment - lots of outdoor seating and friendly, courteous staff. Can't wait to go back!
Darling, I strutted into this Venezuelan paradise and was served EXCELLENCE on a plate! The breakfast arepa had me clutching my pearls - that scrambled egg situation was fluffier than my best wig on a humid day. And don't even get me STARTED on Cami's arepa with that gorgeous avocado fanned out like it was posing for Vogue! The presentation? *Chef's kiss* - those rustic plates gave me earthy elegance realness. The service? Impeccable, sweetie. The flavors? More satisfying than a standing ovation after a death drop! This place understood the assignment and delivered it with STYLE. Whether you're fueling up for brunch or need sustenance after a long night of serving looks, Coupa Cafe will have you feeling fed and fabulous! Five stars, no notes, periodt!
Very satisfying Mechada Tacos, tasty and filling. My only suggestion is that they double the tortillas. By the time I got to the third taco (took my time enjoying the first two), its tortilla was soaked from the juicy beef so was harder to handle, almost broke. Doubling the tortillas would be nice
