My favorite coffee shop in Palo Alto. Reason being… The cappuccinos are very consistently great quality here. I’ve had cappuccinos from different personnel each week and they all come out very good. Other coffee shops… cappuccino quality varies so much between baristas. This verve has really great baristas and everyone is super friendly. Also a ton of natural lighting so it’s a place I like to get work done in the morning.

One of my favorite coffee spots in Palo Alto. Really good coffee, and they have a wide selection of beans that you can take home as well. Some good food options including their breakfast sandwich. Gets busy but they have a good amount of seating and an outdoor patio area.

Good coffee and fresh pastries but can get super crowded. I ended up with a drink and a pastry in hand waiting for a table to free up.

Okay, so I’m slightly disappointed. The service was solid, the latte was delicious, and the coffee shop itself was quite a nice place to relax. So, why not 5 stars, you might ask?

Delicious coffee, fast service, and a beautiful location make this cafe one of my absolute favorite places to start my morning. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere instantly lifts your mood. The staff greet you with genuine smiles that make you feel like a valued regular, even if it’s your first visit. The service is impressively quick without ever feeling rushed, and the quality of the coffee is consistently excellent. I especially love how the location adds to the overall experience, whether you’re grabbing a drink to go or sitting down to enjoy the morning light on their outdoor seating. It’s truly a gem in the neighborhood and a place I look forward to visiting again and again.

Love visiting this coffee shop! Heard a lot of positive things about Verve and they are all true! Had a nice mix of modern and traditional coffee drinks. The cashier was kind of answering all my questions. The single origin Kenyan pour over was delightful.

The berry drink I ordered was so sweet, couldn’t finish it. The coffee is great.

The cappuccino was fine, borderline 5 stars. It was pretty hot but the milk was whipped nicely. They did not have all the coffee options though, e.g they could not make espresso tonic. They have two matcha kinds to select from which is nice

The coffee is excellent and the quantity is generous. Also, they sell Manresa Bread pastries.
