CoHo Cafe

Coffee shop/​food area located on the stanford campus. This place is great for students who need a place to relax, study and enjoy some coffee. They also have some affordable food options here if you want to grab a meal which isn’t fast food like that of panda express or subway.
The portions are pretty decent. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it came with a mountain of sweet potato fries. My friend ordered the salmon with asparagus risotto.

An interesting place which has a wide variety of food. While roaming around the campus, me and my friend arrived for a quick bite & coffee. Egg salad sandwich was superb along with hot chocolate on cold winter evening. Loved the atmosphere there & staff was cheerful as ever. Must go place if you are around.

The pastries are some of the best I’ve had, especially the chocolate croissant.
Coho is a good place to go for happy hour. Inexpensive pitchers of premium beer.

Recently started working at Stanford and when checking out the places to eat, I came across this little place, tucked away. I’ve had their breakfast sandwich which is to die for, and very filling, not a ton of Calories either (if you counting that sort of thing). The are actually sandwich «halves» with bread, egg, ham and bacon. Price isn’t too bad, but I wouldn’t say its cheap here.
My favorite of all time though, is the Tomato Soup. I like almost can’t get over how amazing their soup is. You can either get just a bowl of soup, you can do a cup of soup with a grilled cheese; I’ve done both and would recommend either. The soup is creamy and and has a small spicy kick to it, which really just makes it perfect.
The wait for food (dining in or taking out) is not that long at all, and I have eaten there during finals and end of quarters, so its been pretty busy times. Like i said, price isn’t amazing, but the food is very good!

Decent food and variety. The drink menu utilizes some local craft beers too.

Summary: the café is great, delivery not so much
For starters, I have been to the actual location of coho and it is really cozy for coffee or as a café. However, when my family tried delivering for a work party everything went downhill. We had around 20 people at our house that were ready to eat. Our party started at 6 so we told them to deliver the food at 5:30 so we could set it up. Our food came at 6:30. Keep in mind our house is literally a two minute drive from coho (we live on campus). Our delivery man got lost and English was his second language (which is fine but what about using a gps?) we had several people at the party who were fluent in Spanish and even after talking to the delivery man, nothing helped. We had to stand up on the ends of the street looking for him, which obviously was inconvenient. When he finally pulled up an hour late, our food was cold, because it had been delivered in a golf cart! We had to heat up the food in the oven before we could serve it to our awaiting guests. At the end the food wasn’t even that great, this chicken skewers were dry and bland, and nothing was very popular amount our guest. To end this looong review off on a good note, the baklava was amazing!

A good place to hang out and get work done on campus. Decent food and coffee. Try the kale mojito.
— Hang out there too long and everything about you will smell like a panini.
— Salads are wet and oily?
— Cool chalk art and vibe

Pleasantly surprised by the high quality and tasty meals. One of the best secrets in the hamlet of Palo Alto. Try the tomato soup & sandwich special or the pastas. Delicious!!! Tasty pastries are awesome in a major way. Large portions too. We’ll definitely partake in this food carnival again. Mange Paisano!

The Stanford University Coho is the epitome of the college coffee house. Dark, worn leather couches, games, chalkboard menu, unique items with kale and delicious salads. Even the occasional live band. Great place to grab a sandwich, designer coffee, and enjoy the college setting. No need to wait in the long Starbucks line. Probably one of my favorite place places to chill in Tressider Union.

Awesome spot for the quick coffee right before class or for a meeting with friends.
Perfect level of white noise and the acoustics are amazing at Jazz Nights on Mondays.
Latte’s aren’t necessarily the best, but large food menu more than makes up for that.
Also, familiar and personable baristas make this place feel more homey! Crucial part of my Stanford experience!

Consistently delicious food prepared on the spot with fresh ingredients.
Want a healthy bite? Try the beet and goat cheese salad.
Otherwise, the Cuban Sandwich is sure to please.

I wouldn’t say this place is the best place to eat at, but there are some items on the menu that keep me coming back. The tomato basil soup is amazing! However, their grilled cheese sandwiches are super greasy and filled with too much cheese. The kale salad is also very yummy (if you’re into kale). I usually do light dressing because the regular amount is way too overwhelming. I also really enjoy the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Being Vietnamese, this coffee is pretty decent because it is strong in a good way. The pastries are pretty good too. I like to get the cream cheese croissant and the chocolate chip cookies occasionally.

Café with a cool vibe and significantly healthier options than it’s neighbor, Treehouse.
Menu highlights:
Chocolate chip /​peanut butter cookies
Mint hot chocolate /​Mint mocha
Veggie quesadilla
Mediterranean platter

I am quite impressed with CoHo! I’ve dined here about 3 times and they haven’t disappointed so far. Tonight I had the Satin Doll, Creamy chicken salad, dried cranber­ries, chives, on buttery croissant. It was definitely Yummylicious!
A favorite of mine too is their Fresh Kale smoothie/​drink! OK I just remembered… il it’s called Kale mojito.
Service is reasonably quick and friendly.
Great for chilling with friends, chatting or studying. Fantastic variety of food selections!
Keep up the awesomeness CoHo!

Awesome ambiance for a college coffee shop. Be prepared to feel a little intimidated to be surrounded in the presence of geniuses aka Stanford students! Stopped in here on a Tuesday night to watch a live jazz performance for my online World Music class and ended up falling in love with this café. They have an extensive and what appears to be a very healthy menu (kale!), and have a full coffee menu as well. I got a small Havana Latte ($ 3.00) and it was DEEEELICIOUS! Just the right amount of sweetness. The live jazz performance was awesome. If there were more locations nearer to me, and not smack dab in the middle of Stanford’s huge campus, I would definitely spend some studying here instead of the basic ol’ Starbucks. Hopefully I’ll be back soon to try some of their salads or paninis.
Bonus: They even have Mexican Hot Chocolate and Horchatta Latte on the menu!
Holding back on a 5 star rating until I come back to try some of their food.

Coho is such a lively place on campus. I love the ambience, though it can be distracting when I want to get some work done.
I am not crazy about the food though.

Don’t know why people rag on this place so much.
Pros:
— Great portions
— Can order food on App order ahead
— Amaaaazing Kale Mojitos. A bit pricey though.
— Price is reasonable.
— Wifi
— Pastries are delectable
— Open late! Food is served til 11pm
Cons:
— Coffee is alirght… can definitely do better.
— hot cocoa is too sweet!
— you’ll come out smelling like you’re a panini

Okay food at an okay price. I had the Romania Panini. It was good, but fell short of great. The pastrami was a little too chewy so one bite would take with it far too much pastrami. But honestly, the sandwich could’ve used a little more pastrami in general. My friend had some Vegetarian Chili which was good, and the Salmon Risotto was so creamy.
In short, decent, but could be better with just a few improvements here and there.

Why do I keep coming back here? Wonderful comfort food, convenient order options, long hours, and nice atmosphere. While this place doesn’t do any one thing amazingly, all of the little things add up to make it pretty good in my books.
The food is average, bordering on good. They’ve got a decent variety of options — I like their pastas and sandwiches, and I’ve heard good things about the kale salad — but hands down my favorite is the grilled cheese /​tomato bisque combo. Nowhere else on campus can you get this comfort food and that’s what keeps bringing me back.
On top of that though you can order via OrderAhead to minimize your wait in line. Cut the line and just pick up you order! (Though beware that the menu descriptions in OrderAhead aren’t always what you get!) And CoHo is also one of the fewer places on campus still serving food after lunch time. For a person whose schedule is all over the place, that’s a godsend.
Lastly, the atmosphere elevates CoHo firmly to my good graces. On a regular day it’s a great place to grab coffee and chat with a friend and at night it’s great to grab a pint and listen to live music (though the music can be a bit loud). That makes it a bit nicer than Treehouse next door for me.
Overall: solid place with lots going for it. Try to explore the menu until you find something you like — it took me a while!

They really need to do something about their ventilation/​air conditioning system, mostly ventilation. It’s very stuffy there and it just smells like you’re sitting next to a stove.
The service is pretty fast, the food is average. I got the salad, nothing special, not too creative, ingredients don’t go too well together… Don’t have an opinion about their dressings, they all have garlic in them :(
