Cafe Zoe & Neighborhood Pizza Guy

A great neighborhood cafe with rotating exhibits of original art. Recent addition of superb pizza!

A hidden gem. The latte is very good. I had two sandwiches, also very good and freshly made on demand: the greek sandwich and the breakfast cali. I will be back. I rediscovered this cafe. The new owner is super nice and have extended the hours, which is very welcome. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to manage and continue operating this great neighborhood cafe.

There's so much to love about this place – but a special shout out to the new vegetarian/vegan sandwich options!!! The Southwest is delicious! (NB: mildly spicy, so probably not kid-friendly.)

Fantastic little cafe!!! Fabulous coffee and guess what .. they have the best pizza and such great pastries and food!!

I came on a Monday 12:30 lunch time - this is a favorite local spot for a quick bite and catch up. The food and espresso are above average. I ordered pesto chicken foccasia panini with 8oz flat white espresso. Rosemary infused Focassia was soft on the inside and beautifully crusted on the outside with evo. Pesto tasted fresh and homemade. Mozzarella, chicken breast and tomato slices were evenly thin to create a perfect sandwich. Espresso was on point!

Cafe is marketed as a place for peace, hope and community and the vibe accurately matches claim. Employees are genuinely happy to serve. Owner Matt is a pleasant, talented baker and invested in building the community by providing a creative space. Wall art supports local artists and handpicked to create an experience.

Overall, a must stop over if you’re visiting in Palo Alto or Menlo Park area.

The breakfast sandwich with spicy mayo is really top notch. Plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and great coffee. Well worth the visit!

I think this place is best for people that are not in a rush to get to work or class as things such as a breakfast sandwich can take a long time to make. People in here usually like to take their time to read the newspaper or just enjoy their morning. If this is what you are looking for, a relaxing and chill morning, then Cafe Zoe is your place. It is definitely nice to see for a change that people are not rushing in and out on a hurry like in Starbucks. I also like that they have a great wifi in case you are planning on working at the cafe. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and clean bathrooms.

I love the spirit of the cafe, books, paintings from local artists, events on Fridays, gifts shop corner, the terrace and their pear-brie panini.

Cafe Zoë is cool 😎! Very community-focused.

Great attentive staff. Local coffee shop / healthy cafe in Menlo Park (walking distance to Palo Alto)!

Great coffee and loose-leaves TEA!

Healthy panini sandwiches with side salads.
A great relaxing and caring place in Menlo Park!

Wow! Yes, breakfast all day, and beautiful art works from local artists. Like the amazing Bruce Spencer Photographs that had been featured in the online news outlet called InMenlo…. Cafe Zoë in Menlo Park also has live music nights, trivia nights, happy hour nights, and free WIFI. They are super KIND and would go the extra miles to serve your needs.

The owner Kathleen is a super caring and intelligent person for our communities! 🙏❤🙏

The outdoor seating arrangements are comfortable; surrounded by beautiful arrangements of succulents and olive trees, spaces for working, and / or chilling with your preferred drinks. This has a calm and genuine community environment. We LOVE to come almost every morning, read a book, relax and enjoy ourselves here at Cafe Zoë! 😎❤😇

I appreciate the friendly and kind atmosphere. They are very welcoming and kind. I always get the oatmeal with the walnuts & raisins. A very holistic and joyful place. Their chai tea latte is also another one of my favorites.

Cafe Zoe is local business at its best. This is the kind of place you walk into and feel like you are supporting the heart of a community by patronizing it. The owner (the young and genial Matt) makes a point of remembering your name. Conversation is real and service is outstanding. The pizza is superb---thin crust, fresh ingredients and featuring and a creative concoction of the week (the paneer tikka masala pizza is my favorite yet) or you can build your own. Cafe Zoe has my business (and my heart) as long as I'm in the neighborhood. Such a great local spot.

Love the pizza! We usually get pepperoni with biquinho peppers

Had a great time here watching and listening to the band Shanachie tonight (March 2019) at Cafe Zoe's in Menlow Park. I've known many of the members for over 35 years.

I stumbled upon Cafe Zoë today and cannot wait to go back. I wish I lived within walking distance because this place is special. I got the Chai Latte and it was delicious, but it’s really the whole vibe and Kathleen, who was so friendly and welcoming. We also tried the coconut bread and it was delicious! I can’t wait to go to live music there!

Cute neighborhood cafe. Weekend live music is a blast!

Super charming local cafe; lovely staff, fresh and yummy homemade food and baked goods. They have live music often and it's just a cozy, down-to-earth venue. A neighborhood gem!

Excellent neighborhood spot! We very much enjoyed our cappuccinos and lattes while sitting on the lovely front patio. Went back for lunch and had a wonderful ham and Brie panini and tuna melt, both served with a nice side salad. Lots of other things on the menu we look forward to trying soon! Also look forward to checking out the live music nights and happy hour. Enjoyed looking at the array of lovely home items on display for sale as well. Kathleen at the counter is a joy to talk to, making a great experience even better.

Cosy neighborhood ambiance, with end of the week animation and awesome pizza from the neighborhood pizza guy.
Who drive miles to spend a Thursday or Friday evening there with friends and a glass of bier.

Lovely coffee shop with very warm and welcoming vibe and great coffee! Check out the local art inside, it’ll fill your heart with humor and lightness:)

Great place to go after work on a Friday. Very relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and owners, exceptionally good pizza, and very fun events on Friday evenings.
