Coupa is a nice little coffee shop in the middle of downtown Palo Alto. This is basically another competator of Starbucks but some people like it better because it is more "personal." I prices are about the same except for the pastries are actually a little pricier (At starbucks you will pay $1.85 for a scone whereas at Coupas its about $2.50.) They also serve single chocolates. You pick out a couple little chocolates with your coffee and then pay a pretty good sum! When I first walked into this place and smelled it, and looked at the menu and the little chocolates I was immedietly reminded of the movie CHOCOLATE. They also had that Mayan spice thing going on and it jsut came back to me. I would definitly recommend this place.

While Coupa does not have bagels, I will overlook this as their breakfasts and other pastries are great. Serving Venezuelan coffee directly from the source, you can't help leaving completely wired. Speaking of wired they have free wireless access. Tables are jammed close together. The central Palo Alto locations results in lots of students and entrepreneurs creating a buzz atmosphere. It's great day or night. Dont' miss the chocolates from Chuao, the best in the country IMHO.
