stopped by this café on a Friday morning for a quick breakfast and ended up sitting outside and working for a while. The setup is very straightforward—you grab a table first, place your order at the counter, and the food is brought out to you.
They offer quick breakfast items like pastries and a variety of coffees, along with a few brunch-style options. I ordered a hot mocha, a slice of banana bread, and a ham-and-cheese pastry. The banana bread was excellent, with a pleasant crunchy element inside that made it especially interesting and flavorful. The ham-and-cheese item wasn’t a classic croissant but more of a breakfast pastry, and it was quite good.
The mocha, however, didn’t quite hit the mark for me. While I could taste the chocolate, it was noticeably on the sweeter side. I probably should have asked for less sweetness. That said, I’m sure their other coffee options are better suited to different preferences.
Overall, the café has a charming vibe. It’s located right across from a library in Palo Alto, where there seemed to be some community activities happening, which added to the atmosphere. Good food, a relaxed setting, and a pleasant place to spend the morning.

We went to JLS Middle School for a soccer tournament, and the kids were hungry, so we stopped by Ada’s Café. The place was very clean and well-organized, and the cashier was polite. The kids ordered hot chocolate, lemonade and quiche, and I got a croissant. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. They have a very cute atmosphere. The prices were reasonable.

I absolutely love Ada’s Cafe for so many reasons! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with charming homey decor that makes you feel right at ease. The food is consistently superb — fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared — and the service always exceeds expectations. The staff is kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. Everything is spotless and well-maintained, which adds to the overall experience.
We’ve been loyal customers for a long time, and I truly enjoy treating my family and friends to this special place. The prices are very affordable, and the staff is always happy to help you make the right choice — especially if you have dietary preferences. There are plenty of delicious vegetarian options, which I really appreciate. Also there are tables inside and outside and there are always fresh flowers on each table. It adds caring to the cafe vibe! ❤️
I also really love the eco-conscious values Ada’s promotes — from offering free coffee grounds for organic gardening enthusiasts to the opportunity to purchase plants right at the cafe. I picked up three cherry tomato plants on my last visit, and now I’m eagerly waiting for the harvest!
Most importantly, I deeply admire Ada’s mission of empowering and providing meaningful opportunities to employees with disabilities. It’s truly inspiring, and it makes supporting this wonderful cafe feel even more special.
I’d highly recommend Ada’s Cafe to anyone looking for a warm, delicious, and community-minded place to enjoy a great meal!
In my earlier review 4 months ago, I forgot to highlight one of Ada’s greatest strengths: no matter how busy it gets, every new customer is welcomed with such genuine attention that you instantly feel like royalty. That kind of care is rare, especially in a café located right next to the Palo Alto Library, where the mix of moms with kids, students, and older guests could easily make the place hectic. Instead, Ada’s makes everyone feel seen and appreciated—a true gift in our busy lives.
As for the food, the quality remains superb! This time we enjoyed our favorite mini frittata muffins along with new treats—gluten-free lemon bars and a plum coffee cake. Both sweets were beautifully served with a little container of whipped cream, a thoughtful touch. We paired everything with smooth decaf lattes and couldn’t have been happier.
If you’re looking for an oasis of warmth, kindness, and delicious food, take my advice: visit Ada’s Café. You’ll leave feeling both satisfied and uplifted!

Best cafe on the area! We visit often after the park or library. All the staff are amazing and friendly. The food here is next level and the coffee is sublime. Bring your patience as, like many amazing places, it can get busy. Love the mission of the cafe too. All around, wonderful place.

As others have said, this place is a gem. I’ve lived here all my life and we’ve never had a cafe in this park which I can walk to for my house; amazing. What’s more of their pastries are quite good and I have both complaints about the coffee service either. They can be a little slow but it’s for a good cause they employ adults with differing needs or other challenges. They’re hot sandwiches on croissants look good, I’ll try that next time. They have grab and go sandwiches which were great for taking to the park that’s next to the building. It’s also nice that you could take a study break from the library by just stepping outside. There are fresh flowers on all the tables outside resting in mason jars, and inside are clear cappuccino mugs hosting artfully planted succulents;I liked being able to see the layers of soil and rocky bits for drainage. There are cute pillows on the long half booth / bench seats. It’s a place for the charming vibe which is pleasing enough already, and then one notices rule compostable draws lids spoons stir sticks, even the plastic cups and lids are ALL biodegradable (metal utensils available). I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. And another thing…. They have chips and cookies and pastries, naturally, but what I did not necessarily expect was the healthy alternative snacks like GEM or another vitamin gummy snack substitute. Just standout. I often am overloaded by sugary options that just make me feel sick, that won’t be a problem here though. So happy Ada’s is here!

Ada’s Cafe always leaves me with a smile! I stopped by last week for lunch, and while the food was good, my conversation with Madi (who was working the cashier) and Rosa (who helped me with my order) was even better!
It was a warm afternoon and I found a lovely shaded table to do some work while enjoying my wonderful Wendy sandwich. Highly recommend the wonderful Wendy Sandwich which comes in Dutch Crunch bread and of courseall the fresh scones, cookies and pastries.

I went to Ada’s yesterday and loved it. The cashier, Don, had such a great attitude and personality and was focused on ensuring I got what I wanted. The chocolate chip coffee cake was delicious as was the frittata muffin. Granola to go was a nice touch as well. Very friendly atmosphere with options to sit inside or out. This was a great end to a Sunday bike ride!
