Palo Alto Creamery

This old-school diner is a Palo Alto hub for students to drink milkshakes instead of studying. Palo Alto Creamery is like stepping back into a more analog time—the walls are plastered with vintage Coca-Cola signs, there’s cow art everywhere, and classic red vinyl booths line the space. The best thing on the menu is the hash brown pie, which is a hefty brick loaded with bacon, green onions, and bell peppers (and, in the name of good ol’ diner excess, a blanket of cheese across the top). Know that breakfast is served all day, for all your 5pm french toast needs.
