Ralph’s Coffee, the coffee shop chain created by Ralph Lauren, has launched its first Northern California location at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto.
Designed in elegant forest green and white tones, the café shares space with a new Ralph Lauren store within the upscale outdoor mall. Patrons can indulge in a variety of coffee and tea options, including classic espresso drinks, draft oat milk lattes, matcha, and chai. The coffee served is sourced from La Colombe Coffee Roasters.
The menu also features a selection of pastries such as croissants and cookies, alongside soft-serve ice cream and overnight oats. On a recent Friday afternoon, a long queue extended out the door as fashionable customers eagerly awaited their orders, taking the opportunity to capture moments in the cafe’s stylish interior and inviting outdoor patio.
The café operates multiple venues around the globe, including locations across the U.S., Asia, and Europe. The flagship site opened in New York City in 2014. Currently, in the United States, there are eight other locations, with four in New York, and one each situated in Chicago, Miami, Washington, D.C., and Newport Beach. This new café marks only the second West Coast establishment.
Additionally, specially branded merchandise from Ralph’s Coffee is available for purchase within the café.
Details: Open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays at 383A Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto; ralphlauren.com
