"Best coffee in Palo Alto? Zombie Runner has been in Palo Alto for at least a decade now and has always been one of my favorite places for espresso drinks (usually lattes) but I hadn’t been ordering out recently… But after returning from a long Spain trip this summer where I had multiple espressos drinks daily, my brewed at home coffee didn’t cut it any longer. So I began to frequent the local shops - Cal Ave, University Ave, and surrounds, from small shops (Coupa (2), Farmhouse, Verve) to big and medium chains (Joes, Peets, Starbucks (3)). This spot which has high ceilings and was completely empty when I visited, has got tables and probably WiFi, makes as good of drinks as the Zombie Runner on California Ave. The fact that it is so close to Starbucks is a god send. If you go to Starbucks you should drive/walk/bike just one block further and get a much better drink. Heck if you are in Palo Alto and you want coffee find a Zombie Runner. Really good, floral, delicious, amazing sensuous foam every time. Zombie is best in Palo Alto, along with Coupa, for my money. And check out the freshness of these beans, roasted just 3 days ago! I can’t wait to give these to my kids so they can make me some after-school drinks at home. Some other coffee related items for sale; no running shoes for sale at this location. Next, I’m eager to test out their WiFi and sit in the shop."

"The best espresso-based drinks; the very best owners; my (pretty much) daily go-to coffee shop for years (during my stints in the Palo Alto / Mountain View area)! Bonus tip: try all the different (often unique) chocolates on offer!"

"I got decaf latte and it was slightly acidic and quite tasty. The inside was clean and nice. Recommend!"

"Excellent cold brew - I appreciate that it's available for sale in bags as well! No zombies inside, but we were definitely served by a runner - Hokas, Salomon shirt, sun smart hat, etc. He probably just ran a marathon before coming to work. We'll be back!"

"So glad they opened a new ZombieRunner location here!!!! Enjoyed a latte and scone. The barista was super nice and offered us free samples of their seasonal maple pecan latte. Lots of tables; more space than their location on California Ave."
