    The spiciest spicy mocha in Palo Alto! Using their own blend of cayenne pepper, cinnamon and various spices. Guaranteed to warm you up!

    They have a wide variety of savory and sweet crepes. The side of Brie with a croissant is really good.

    Grab a seat outside and enjoy the serenity of the only place in Palo Alto where you can't overhear VC pitches.
