Coupa Cafe is generally great with awesome food and drinks, and that is also true for this location. It only has outdoor seating and all the shared tables are often taken around noon, but otherwise its always a pleasure to get coffee and eat here.

Decent food and coffee. Very convenient to order thru app by scanning the bar code then delivered to your table. No need to stay in the line to order.

I was tipped off by a friend to come here and try out their Green Matcha Smoothie, and I have to say...It was one of the best smoothies I’ve ever had.First off, it’s not too sweet (ahem, Jamba Juice listen up). The matcha flavor is balanced out by the light almond and mango flavor really well. Best of all, its got spinach, so it’s totally healthy right??To top it all off, on a bright summer afternoon, you can sit around the cafe catching a light breeze, enjoying the view of the library, and imagining what it would be like to be smart enough to go to Stanford.Sip. Sip.It must be the smoothie.

Great selections, with lots of smoothie, coffee, and tea options. Their crepes are also fantastic! Id generally consider their meals decently prices for the quantity, but their smoothies are quite expensive (large is a small at any other smoothie shop).

The cafe is out front of Green Library. The turkey avocado wrap was delicious. Reasonable price. Fast service.

The coffee is only alright, but the outdoor seating and location by the fountain, library, and in a busy part of campus provides a nice vibe.

I usually love the mango smoothie. Today the server forgot about my order and then when I asked for it he made a smoothie that didnt look anything like mango. Mostly milk. It wouldnt have been so bad if I hadnt sat there and watched him prepare perfectly fine looking mango smoothies for three other customers.

A little on the expensive side for me, but delicious food and the Coupa smoothie was perfect as I waited for my food! Loved the outside seating and accessories out there. Had milk alternatives as well.

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 lot I know of.

This place is good for a coffee shop inside a university. Lots of crepes options. Theres only outdoor sitting and its usually crowded. It has nice views, especially since they renovated that part of the campus. The menu doesnt have as many options as the Coupa at Ramona, but still lots of options. Salads are pre made but decent. Dont go out of your way to go there, but if you happen to be nearby then its probably the best dining or coffee option in Stanford and the atmosphere is nice. Desserts are really good.

Huge selection of meals, snacks, and coffee. This is also a great meeting spot as theres plenty of seating and green space around. Make sure to try their breakfast! Its high quality.

They take thirty minutes to make a bagel sandwich - not worth it if you’re looking for a quick bite.

The arepa was harder than it should have been. The plantains were also hard. It also needed seasoning of some sort.

I really enjoy this location because it is near where I live. A great place to quickly get a latte, cold brew, or a snack when I need it. Always great service, clean, and fast to get drinks out. The app is useful as well because you can earn points and rewards.

Barista let my shot sit for a few minutes before he got to the milk. Unsurprisingly, the cappuccino was bitter. I wish they paid a little more attention to basic barista details like this.

A short walk from our house, this is a weekend favorite for us. We walk the dog, grab an oat milk latte (delish!) In our own thermoses (no litter) and walk around campus chatting. Its a great way to lick off our weekends!!

Nice spot to grab coffee before heading to class, but also for sitting down and getting some work done. The service is usually great, but the wait times can be long and once they realized they missed my order after waiting for 25 mins.

Awesome location and great food! We tried the Strawberry-Banana smoothie and Maya Spicy Hot chocolate. Both were top notch

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. Delightful.

Super cute location with great outside seating. Their Tiger latte is amazing. Prices a bit high, but to be expected in the Bay Area. The food quality and service is great too.

Review №37

One of the best locations where there are plenty of tables outside on a sunny day. Food is executed well most of the time. But the only problem is there are many customers at times and its hard for a small crew to keep up with the volume of online orders and walk-ins.

This is a great place to get lunch or a quick snack on campus. Their coffee drinks are great, as are their pastries. The Abuela hot chocolate is wonderful. Ive had mixed success with their food, and typically Ive found their sandwiches to be better than the crepes. But overall, very nice little cafe.

Lots of good memories of early morning coffee and custom omelets. This place is definitely pricey for what you get, but that seems to be the norm in this area.

They don’t manage online order and offline orders well. They seem to prioritize online orders.

Review №50

Overpriced, especially since they largely serve college students. They are also very slow-- waited 20 minutes for a chai. I wish Stanford would put in some more affordable cafe options. Do we really need 3 coupa cafes? The breakfast food is pretty good though, for 8.95 you can get an omelette with a little bread and a tiny side of fruit.

Unfortuantely, ts overpriced and not particularly memorable. Its nice to sit outside and enjoy your coffee or pastry in the sun right next to the cafe, or pick up a caffeine jolt before going into the library
