- stevenwoo 9y agoI wonder if Andy Rubin and his wife are subsidizing their cafe or if it stands on its own merits since it's been open a few years now. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2015/01/29/all-aboard-the-pastry-train https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2015/01/29/all-aboard-th...
- hkmurakami 9y agoPrices are quite high there but it's not a superbly highly trafficked place. Revenues do not seem super high, though the place is seemingly never empty (unlike PA, VdT seems to be the only good cafe in downtown Los altos; Satura doesn't make the cut esp after ownership change). They seem to be experimenting with their offerings, which is either the proprietors satisfying their whims or searching for a winning formula. Also I imagine they bought the land from Maria's Antiques so it'll take forever to recoup costs there (though I guess the land will just appreciate). In any case I'm happy they're around. Sad that they changed their macaroon recipe. The real question is how Area 151 in downtown Los altos possibly turns a profit. Is that one of Sergey's toys?
