The Palo Alto location is especially impressive — spacious, airy, and beautifully designed. I ordered an iced mocha, and it was terrific. Perfectly balanced, mildly sweet, smooth. Overall, I love the vibe of this place. I'll definitely be back.

I had a cappuccino and a cold brew which were both 10/10. I still think about how great the cappuccino was. 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.

Who would've thought that an 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. Definitely recommend for chatting, nice coffee date, or studying.

A beautiful Spanish-style old school build with low ceilings and cavernous interiors. The coffee is fresh brewed every cup and it is super rich in flavor, served by pleasant staff.

This Blue Bottle coffee shop is in an old movie theater. The decor features restored architectural details from the old movie theater mixed with modern minimalism. The coffee is good.
