(More)About this blog: I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

Coupa Cafe opens in Los Altos
Uploaded: Dec 19, 2018
Local string of coffee spots Coupa Cafe has opened its newest location at 4748 El Camino Real in Los Altos.
The new Coupa opened earlier this month in the ground floor of the Colonnade apartment complex, which is owned by Stanford University and populated by many faculty and staff. Six of Coupa's eight cafes are located on the Stanford campus.

Coupa owner Jean Paul Coupal said previously that Stanford approached him to see if he would want to open a cafe at the building.
The Los Altos location serves the cafe's typical espresso, coffee and tea as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers free WiFi. View the menu
here.
Coupa was born in downtown Palo Alto in 2004 and has steadily expanded since then. The owners plan to open another location at 825 Marshall St. in downtown Redwood City in 2019. (Stanford is also building a satellite campus in Redwood City.)
The Los Altos Coupa is open Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (It’s closed Sundays.) Happy hour is offered daily from 3 p.m. until closing.
We can't do it without you.
