Palo Alto, CA 94301
Cafe Venetia is deeply rooted in the culture of Venice, Italy, where caffe-bars have served as social and intellectual gathering spots for over three centuries. We continue this tradition from bean to cup by sourcing our coffee directly from a Northern Italian roaster, and transforming it into high quality espresso drinks to enjoy in a refined setting. Our community of customers visit us as much for our food and drink offerings as for the culture of the cafes. A morning cappuccino taken standing at the bar in classic Italian style, or a glass of prosecco in the evening at one of our outdoor tables — you’ll find an authentic European cafe experience here in the heart of Silicon Valley.
