Palo Alto is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Palo Alto follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I really enjoy the mini açaí bowls from here because they’re just enough to satisfy a craving without spoiling my next meal. I usually go for a mini Cardinal and I’ve been happy with it (customer since they opened).

I love Bare Bowls. It’s my favorite place to eat because everything is fresh, healthy, and I can create my own combinations. Plus, the owner is very kind, which makes the experience even better.

Wanted a tangy blueberry smoothie, which they didn't have on the menu, so the man at the counter assisted me with making a custom smoothie. I just had him use the ingredients I usually use at home. Strawberries, blueberries, Greek yogurt, coconut water, lemon, honey. Delicious!

This place has a sign that gives you ideas of what to do while you wait for your food. Ask the person next to you how their day is going, think of 5 things you're grateful for, text someone you love and tell them why you love them, and read a book. I like that they gave me these ideas. If you plan on going here, I wanted to share a few ideas as well. You can try to touch your nose with your tongue. You can twiddle your thumbs. This one is my favorite, you can enter a thumb and pinkie war with yourself and see if David can beat Goliath. If you decide to do this one, I'd suggest using them both at full strength even if you have a favorite. This can be the toughest part, but you want it to be a fair fight, without the influence of your mind, which may not be possible. Still it's worth trying, imagine if you wanted your pinkie to win and it did! It was somehow able to defy all the odds! I love a good underdog story. Just be careful, it's not worth breaking your pinkie over, trust me. Also if you decide to twiddle your thumbs before the thumb and pinkie war, just remember to twiddle your pinkies before battle as well. Ideally, both of them are equally warmed up before the fight. Anyway,

Bare bowls has some of the best acai bowls I have ever had. The granola is delicious and the presentation of the bowls are simply beautiful. You can make changes or additions to any bowl you want. The place is well lit and makes for a good Instagram opportunity.
