My happenin (almost party happenin) Neighborhood!
See All Lists
1. Mountain View Public Library
I have not yet explored the print collections of the Mountain View Public Library, but am in awe of the DVD collections, spanning both domestic and international releases, as well as including so many in the Criterion Collection. I really appreciate…More »
2. The Better Bagel
Came by here yesterday in search of some lunch, and actually stumbled upon it, not knowing this establishment was in the plaza. Seems to be a great variety of items available here besides a good selection of bagels--really decadent sounding…More »
3. Apple Store
Yes, I am terribly enthusiastic about Apple and Apple products. In writing this review, this Yelper can truthfully and honestly relate his experiences at the Apple Store.
Through the past several years, I have been purchasing my accessories such as…More »
4. Books Inc
If you can't make it to the store's location in the Castro in SF, why not Books Inc /on/ Castro in Mountain View? I see some great events post for book signings etc.--I still need to make it out to one of those. I've been coming to this store for…More »
5. Roger's Deli
Mountain View, CA 94043
(650) 965-2204
Categories:
Delis,
Donuts,
Breakfast & Brunch
came here to satisfy my lunch hunger craving after having run a morning of errands, despite having sat down for bagels and coffee earlier with a friend. nice choices of breads for sandwiches--I picked a garden burger on an onion roll. because they…More »
6. Vaso Azzurro Restaurant
Truly an amazing time last night with my boyfriend as we had a farewell dinner for a mutual friend who just graduated and will be leaving the area for a new job. Chris found his pollo saltimboca (chicken breast, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese sauted…More »
7. Sweet Corner
Unfortunate that the reviews on Sweet Corner seem so cold or warm, and not much in between. I was fortunate to have a responsive and polite server behind the counter earlier this evening, and grab a sample that immediately told me I should get the…More »
8. 7-Eleven
This holiday evening I really and truly discovered the reason 7-Eleven exists--for poor saps like me who didn't get out for the holiday and need a break from the cabin fever that had been building throughout the day. Not a staple of store stops for…More »
9. Verde Tea Cafe
The best boba/pearl tea I've had in the Bay Area, if not on the West Coast. also the most imaginative--e.g., Verde Journey, green tea and avocado blended into a creamy delight. I also appreciate the variety of drinks, the snacks available, and the…More »
10. King of Clubs
I had a really fun, random time here last week, when a friend and I went on Julz last night doing karaoke. Apparently, she's pulling together something at the former Savoy. I didn't catch the new name, but that's for another review when I visit that…More »
11. Palo Alto Creamery
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 323-3131
Categories:
Diners,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
American (New)
A number of years I had come here for breakfast, and didn't forget what a pleasant and filling experience that was. However, last evening was the first time I visited for a little dinner. My friend had a tuna melt, and I had an egg salad sandwich…More »
12. Nijiya Market
In trying to find Nijiya, I nearly missed it! I was expecting a large market like Mitsuwa or Ranch 99--not so in this case. As many of my fellow Yelpers have explained, they do pack a lot into a small space in this market, more than what you might…More »
13. Peet's Coffee & Tea
Fast and efficient service. I have come to the location only a few times after my move here to Mountain View under a year ago, and today was one of those times. I paired my caramel latte with a caramel toffee blondie. While the blondie wasn't too…More »
14. Nob Hill Foods
My fellow Yelpers were telling no fibs in expressing how HUGE this Nob Hill location happens to be! It makes my old Raley's in Fremont (owned/operated by the same parent company as Nob Hill Foods) seem to be tiny in comparison, or many other grocery…More »
15. Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt - CLOSED
Came here last night for a UYE, and was I in for a treat of not only meeting froyo girl but froyo boy as well! And what a nice warm evening for an awesome treat like Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt! As I've said in past reviews before, I'm no froyo…More »
16. Fiesta Del Mar Too
I had the privilege of catching a late lunch with a friend here yesterday. Such yummy and fresh salsas--my friend really enjoyed the chipotle based salsa, which I thought was a bit on the sour side, but good as well. The variety brought out, a salsa…More »
17. Cantankerous Fish
Yes, it's pricey. but well worth what you shell out. Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to dine here with a friend for dinner. I had the Fareeast MahiMahi as my entrée; the fish was served with ratatouille, peanut sauce, crispy coconut rice cake,…More »
18. Teh Market
Cool little neighborhood market I decided to make a visit to after returning and choosing new DVDs at the nearby public library. Not the place to look for bargains, but if you're in the neighborhood, they do carry some essentials like milk and eggs.…More »
19. Whole Foods Market
Ok, my friends don't call this chain of stores "whole paychecks" for no reason. But it's true, they do have primo products, if you know how to pick and chose. And if you don't treat this store like a one-stop shop, you won't use your whole paycheck.…More »
20. Country Gourmet of Mountain View
Mountain View, CA 94040
(650) 962-1700
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch,
Caterers
Although I had visited the Sunnyvale location last year, this marked my first visit to the Mountain View restaurant this morning, and albeit a smaller dining space, the food was of no less quality. This morning was very happily joined by Cristîon B.…More »
21. Sushi Tomi
So glad that I have the Yelp app on my mobile device so I could get confirmation of some of my fellow Yelpers' thoughts on local sushi places, and help me make a decision on where to grab dinner yesterday. Sushi Tomi offers a wealth of items beyond…More »
22. The Ace of SandwicheS
Came across Ace while browsing Yelp on a day that I had to go home in the middle of the day to pick up something I had forgotten earlier that morning, and so I thought, anything quick I could get on the run would be great for my lunch. What grabbed…More »
23. Totoro
Came here off and on during the past six years, only to be disappointed the last two or three visits within the last three years. But last night I wasn't disappointed, and neither was my friend. She ordered the mandoo appetizer, as well as a dolsot…More »
24. Piazza's Fine Foods
Ever since I moved to the area and noticed Piazza's, I had always wanted to stop in. Today was my lucky day, and I found that I might assign the nickname of "whole foods light," as they feature many items that Whole Foods carries as well and not the…More »
25. Hunan Chili
Not a bad little place that begins the Castro Street downtown area from the Eastern/Northern side. Apparently, the building's housed more than one Chinese restaurant, as the people at the next table were asking the help how long this present…More »
26. Rasputin Music
I've always appreciated trips to Rasputin, whether I've left with a large bag purchase or just come by for some window shopping, and my first trip to this location was no exception. Today I picked up a bunch of CDs, mostly stuff I'm unfamiliar with,…More »
27. Easy Foods Company
Been to this establishment a number of times over the years. Last evening I bought some Taiwanese pineapple and mango cakes--sort of like fig newtons, only much bigger and chewier (and tastier, in my book), $1.29 a pack, can't remember the exact…More »
28. Red Mango - CLOSED
I'm no connoisseur of froyo, like some of my Yelper friends. However, after making a visit to Red Mango, I understand what the appeal is all about. I had a medium cup of original with pineapple chunks and granola. Such a beautiful texture and just…More »
29. Safeway
I like this Safeway because it appears to carry many of the items I like and because of its clean, uncluttered layout--it appears the store had a major remodel not too long ago. Not the huge Safeway I was used to in my old stomping grounds, but just…More »
30. Red Rock Coffee Co
I've been sitting up here studying on the 2nd level of the coffeehouse--love that they have this level that was opened up several months ago. Also appreciate the selection of good pastries and other snacks, as well as the well-made coffee drinks. If…More »

I came in yesterday morning for a soy latte while I used the free wifi. What a heavenly cup!
31. Original Pancake House
Yum yum indeed! I always have had good breakfasts and brunches at the Fremont location of this establishment, and this didn't change this morning at the Los Altos restaurant. This time I had to try the apple pancake--a huge creation of sliced sautéed…More »
32. Gelayo Gusto
Mountain View, CA 94040
(650) 938-1333
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Burgers
A bit awkward yesterday when I came by with a friend, as the main help was out for a bit finishing some critical errand and the stand-in had a bit of trouble with the language. Fortunately, one of the fans was in the store giving some language help,…More »
33. Passage To India
I've had quite a bit of Indian food over the years, even a few tastes of Desi Chinese cuisine. However, this was the first place I was fortunate to try the latter as part of a buffet. I was so grateful to be treated at Passage to India for my…More »
34. Clarke's Charcoal Broiler
not just vegetarian here, but pescetarian, so Clarke's caters to that dietary regime as well. Can I say awesome fish sandwich? not a little wimpy chain-created sandwich with tasteless oily fish fillets, but decent size sandwich on a soft bun that can…More »

35. Le Boulanger
Embarrassingly, I kept not finding where this place was located until I drove right by it, because I thought it was "boulangerie" and not just boulanger, and kept using that incorrect search term in search engines and on Yelp--silly me. So because…More »
36. Fresh Choice Restaurant
Not a bad location, although I felt a few other Fresh Choice restaurants I've been to have a bit better selection than this one, at least as far as a few evenings ago when a friend and I dined there. I could use more varieties of greens, otherwise,…More »
37. La Salsa
I have been driving by La Salsa since my move to Mountain View July 2008, and made a stop here for the first time earlier today for lunch. While it may not be "authentic" Mexican eats, it seems to most certainly be fresh. I ordered the Veracruz mahi…More »
38. Garden Fresh Vegetarian Restaurant
one of the better vegetarian places I've been to here in the bay area. great use of "meat substitutes" other than wheat gluten. vegetables cooked just right. love the vegan ice cream.
39. La Creme De Cafe - CLOSED
picked up a pretty amazing soy white mocha here this morning, along with a spiced apple danish. Very tasty pastry, and not something I'm used to coming across. Truly one of these indie spots, on so many levels. Not a place to go during the hot…More »
40. Know Knew Books
Made a quick walk through this place after going to the UYE at Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt across the way. Let me tell you, the material was arranged (or slapped together on shelves?) in such a way that I was rather overwhelmed. Sure, there seemed…More »
