Saint Frank Coffee

Great coffee and friendly service. I’ve only had cappuccino thus far and liked it. Prices are a bit steep for some coffees like the pour over. They have some outdoor seating so a good place to meet up or just enjoy a cup of coffee. It’s located right next to the train station so easily accessible.

Worth the wait!!! If you see a line at a place, you know it's good! Substituted Almond/Macadamia milk for regular milk for my cappuccino and it was great! Hubby had the Macha Tea and he loved it!

Saint Frank Coffee in Menlo Park serves a solid cappuccino. You can taste the quality of their beans. The café itself is a gem: right across from the Caltrain station, with shaded outdoor seating that makes it perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. A solid spot in the Bay Area coffee scene — I’ll definitely be back.

Saint Frank Coffee in Menlo Park is a total gem—charming, intentional, and clearly run by people who care deeply about the craft. I ordered the flat white with their medium roast, which leaned into a beautiful caramel-chocolatey flavor profile. Silky texture, gorgeous latte art, and made with organic Clover milk—which is getting rarer and rarer these days, so I seriously appreciated that. I also had their almond croissant, which was delicious—flaky, buttery, just sweet enough—but sadly, they don’t toast their pastries, which is my only knock. Otherwise, everything about this place hits the mark: all outdoor seating with a relaxed, airy vibe, nice baristas, and a top-tier espresso machine setup.

Coffee: Got a latte with house milk-- perfect temp, nice latte art, and smooth foam. The milk and coffee were super balanced. I could still taste the espresso through the milk. Solid cup. Environment & service: Came around 2.30pm and outside seatings were mostly under the shades. Dog friendly spot. Service was quick. Took me only 5 mins to get my drink.

Heard a lot about this place so we decided to check it out. I didn’t have too high hopes to be honest but I was pleasantly surprised. We got the orange cream latte and it was pretty good! Very refreshing, creamy but right amount of coffee and not too sweet. The seating was outdoors and the weather was good so we enjoyed it!

The croissant was amazing and the honey lavender latte was delicious. You could tell that the quality of the coffee is good so they didn’t need to add too much syrup to enhance a the flavor of the latte. It was nice and subtle. Will definitely be back! :) 6/24/25 Orange cream latte!!!! 😋😋😋😍😍😍

Casual vibes, not crowded and excellent coffee. Would definitely recommend getting the flight to try out different coffees and styles in one sitting. The outdoor seating is great on a sunny day and it wasn't busy at all so you'll definitely be able to find a seat. Definitely coming back here again when I need a spot of focus, enjoy some good coffee and get work done!

This little coffee shop creates such a great experience! It’s in a secluded tree lined area with nice tables outside, the folks at the cafe kiosk are very friendly and helpful, and the drinks are excellent. The orange cream latte is very delicate and similar to a creamsicle, and the coffee flight is very fun with many different complex flavors. They carry baked goods from the Midwife and the Baker which is my favorite! Definitely try the ham and cheese croissant. Coffee wise I would say the flavors are like a more boutique Blue Bottle - tart, and fruity, with a lot of single origin brews.

Definitely one of the best lattes I've had in bay area. Also really good service. Right now, it is just outdoor seating. I hope they get to open a cafe soon. I've seen how people stop serving in cups an hour before closing in many coffee shops and only offer to-gos. In this cafe, we visited 15 min before closing and the barista graciously served the coffee in cup with a beautiful latte art. 5 stars for sure!

Sooooo good. Incredible coffee and very tasty pastries. All their merch is amazing as well. Only weirdness was the ordering process. Took us a bit to get it figured but you order in one spot and pay in another but the same person is taking care of you - I dunno. Worth it. We’ll be back!

I chose the house-made macadamia and almond milk which is not that matched . I will try regular milk next time. But it is very popular and always lining.

Fantastic coffee right across Menlo Park Caltrain station. Opens at 7am and you already see a long line. Did not try pastries as it comes from outside. Tried both cappuccino and latte at different times and it is great. Will definitely visit again. It is outside seating only.

Amazing coffee! The space is outdoor seating only and tables are tight to get. I had a latte and a single origin coffee both were awesome.

IMO - If you like good coffee and espresso with depth and flavor this is one of the best in the state - up there with a select few. Their Almond Macadamia milk is a great alternative.

Staff is always engaged and really cares about their craft. In every location I go to of theirs it’s the same energy which is really special. Leaving my review on this location as it’s the first one I ever went to and the one I continue to visit when in the bay.

Nice coffee! But I won’t recommend their house made almond-macadamia nut milk. It makes the whole drink taste sour. I can’t have cows milk, so I always choose plant-based. Will try oat milk instead next time

Located in downtown Menlo Park, this cozy coffee shop offers plenty of open seating, making it a relaxed spot to hang out with family or friends. I ordered a regular latte, and swapped the milk for macadamia milk — a rare option at most coffee shops. Pricy and felt a bit special but the taste leaned too sour for my preference. It's still worth checking out if you're curious about different coffee beans and want to explore what suits your taste.

I don't mean to sound like an old grinch, or begrudge these guys the business and prices they're able to justify here. But $1 extra on an already $4.50 espresso to make it a macchiato with what, 1 teaspoon of milk? Cmon, this is a little ridiculous. See menu photo as of Dec 2025, attached. Of course they serve up good quality coffee, and are nice people. But sometimes you just want to feel like you're getting a good value for your money. There's not even indoor seating and real estate to justify this kind of price inflation. Make it just $0.50 more for a macchiato, guys?

Great artisan coffee roast for coffee connoisseurs. Limited bakery item choice but good enough to enjoy with a cuppa. All seating is outdoor, so need a good weather (which is very common in lucky California) to enjoy the coffee. It is next to Menlo park station, so will have frequent trains passing. Coffee experience is worth to live with the disturbance of a train noise.

Quaint outdoor location for this multi-location coffee shop. There’s no indoor area but the patio is sizeable enough to host around 30 people. I went around closing time on a weekend and there were maybe only about 4 other customers around with plenty of street parking available.

A colleague recommended this place for its coffee. I got the house macadamia milk flat white. The milk was bubbly and frothy and didn't blend with the espresso shot. It was the opposite of a flat white. I asked if the milk was supposed to look like this, and the staff were very kind and lovely and basically said yes, but offered to make me a new one. We also got the "competition cappucino" but it was hella milky and couldn't really taste the coffee. Hmm. The staff were great, and the place was a vibe. Just wouldn't recommend the coffee there if you're Australian and used to good flat whites.

I really wanted to like this coffee shop after reading about it when I showed up today around 12:30 and I ordered an almond latte. They informed me that they were out of almond milk .🤦🏻‍♀️ I had to have an oat latte …. The coffee wasn’t as robust as I had expected The location is great with a lot of sunny outdoor space
