Blue Bottle Coffee

This Blue Bottle coffee shop is in an old movie theater, which was previously also a bookstore and then a co-working space. The decor features restored architectural details from the old movie theater mixed with modern minimalism. The seating is often taken by people who stare intently at their laptops. The coffee is good. The baked goods could be fresher.

I always loved blue bottle in NYC so when I saw one on my visit to Palo Alto I just had to stop by. I had a cappuccino and a cold brew which were both 10/10. I still think about how great the cappuccino was and I highly recommend it. I miss it so much I even bought blue bottle Nespresso pods (lol). This location is great because the outside is very spacious and has a fountain so it’s very nice to enjoy the coffee or treat you get. The inside is also great because it’s a large space as well.

Blue bottle is your classic bay area coffee go to But who would’ve thought that a old theater could be converted into a vibey coffee house Overall a great venue area with cool people and cool service Coffee is amazing as usual but the lines can get pretty long so just be ready for that Definitely recommend for chatting, nice coffee date, or studying/working

If you want a place to sit and work and prep for that VC pitch, this is a nice spot with the vibes of all that have previously treaded the path you want to be on. Tech hustlers routinely hangout at this spot in a beautiful Spanish-style old school build with low ceilings and cavernous interiors. This used to be a Borders bookstore with plenty of nooks and a nice veranda with places to sit and work and have a leisurely conversation. The coffee is fresh brewed every cup and it is super rich in flavor, served by pleasant staff clearly sourced from the nearby Stanford.

I was visiting a friend near San Jose and he recommended Blue Bottle Coffee. Naturally I love coffee and been to many coffee shops. But wow..... Simple menu, I don't think people realize how nice it is to go to a coffee shop and see a simplified easy menu with 20 items. They make them all the same and they are great at it. All I need to say is : Shakerato 👌👌 I don't need to have 500 options and you end up being subpar on everything. The service was fast, the coffee was great and I'll definitely be back!

Staff was very nice and friendly. Service was quick. Cafe is big and has lot of seating. Loved the vibe. Great coffee! Also loved the peppercorn latte.

Inside the old Varsity Theatre (which I loved going to back in the 1980’s). Comfortable seating and it’s a very minimal space. Service is knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the specialty hot coffee, Yuzu Lavender Cappuccino. I adore Yuzu and love it in Japanese dishes… and some fancy pastry. While the presentation was lovely, I prefer traditional hazelnut or almond for flavored cappuccino.
