Coupa Cafe - Green Library — Restaurant in Palo Alto

As a tourist I took an hour-long walk through the beautiful campus of Stanford U., but during my walk I saw very little in the way of coffee shops, cafes or any kind of commercial services/ conveniences. They seem to be hidden, so that the appearance of the campus remains sedate and unspoiled. But I really needed a bathroom and a bottle of water BAD. Coupa Cafe did the job. I even got a good sandwich. They serve coffee, drinks and sandwiches at Coupa - no surprise there. This cafe is on the main walkway of the university. The building is lovely, modern, glassy, bright, cheerful, and extremely well-designed. Great rest stop for weary travelers, and the cafe was certainly being enjoyed by the Stanford students. Not too crowded at 12 noon. Quiet like a library....

Outdoor cafe on Stanford campus. They only have outside seating. The menu features coffee drinks, bottled drinks, desserts, breakfast sandwiches, crepes, and sandwiches. Order at the counter and wait for your name to be called. The food takes a long time! I would recommend ordering online from their website.

I had a pesto crepe. It was mediocre at best. The crepe was bland and way too thick. The chicken was bland and the pesto was not fresh. The crepe didn’t come with any salad.

I would try the Stanford Bookstore cafe for a better selection of coffee and espresso drinks, as well as better service.

The Treesider parking lot is the closest public parking...

I ordered the Strawberry-Banana-Nutella crepe and the bananas were rotten to the core. There was some sour tasting crepe and bad strawberries too. Even if it is conveniently located next to Green Library (Stanford), I would not recommend coming here for the sake of your health.

I was able to go back just now just as they were closing. Fego refunded my money for the crepe. He said he is a chef and that when the crepe gets heated very fast at a very high temperature, the bananas can get black in the center like that. Well, the problem still remained as to why some of the crepe was sour and some of the strawberries...
