Contribute Feedback What Mimi S likes about Cafe Venetia:
The vibe is more of a traditional Italian cafe (ie. no oat milk) rather than hip trendy SF coffee house. It’s a nice change and we thoroughly enjoyed our Cappuccino and Cappuccino Viennese (topped with whipped cream). Tasty! View all feedback.
What 1Aliya A 1 year ago on Google doesn't like about Cafe Venetia:
Although cafe venetia is one of the rare places open past 9pm in the Bay Area, there is a significant issue with the service. I have rarely seen such slow and oblivious staff. It is as if they are floating in the stars and not present at the cafe. The drinks are slightly expensive, and I would completely understand charging a premium if the quality of the ingredients used was good. The cream inside the chocolate mous... View all feedback.
Enjoyed a break this morning with marucchino (cap with choc powder and shavings). Fantastic! Had some of the pastries and they were all lovely. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good.
A unique and wonderful Italian coffee shop right on University in downtown Palo Alto. Always my go-to for coffee when I’m in the area. The vibe is very Italian and almost antique, and there’s plenty of seating outside and some inside to sit and get some work done. They are also open pretty late so you can sit here for a while. Overall, one of my absolute favorites with wonderful coffee and treats.
Tonight was my first time here. Mike helped me out and the service was excellent. Mike let me try their hot chocolate, let me tell you..it's WOW amazing lol! This place has Italy vibes all day, great decor, indoor/outdoor dining and a great selection of drinks/treats. Their tiramisu was authentic, fluffy and spectacular. For my drink I went with the mocha chocolate as the hot chocolate is very heavy n rich. The mocha helps sip the delicious drink down. They also have parking out front but it's hit or miss being in the middle of busy downtown. They follow covid protocols and place is very clean. Overall great first impression.
The coffee in this place is so good, it’s very creamy, rich and has great taste. Also the mini tiramisu is so good it’s the perfect combination of sweet, creamy and coffee. I’ve tried a couple of deserts the creamy chocolate mouse cake and it’s good. What I’ve tried so far it’s been really good.
Good coffee and nice outdoor seating with a piano out there too. Amazing Caprese Chocolate Cake. Must try that there.
