Specialty's Café & Bakery - Mountain View, California

LOVED Specialty’s when I worked downtown SF- was thrilled to find this location.
Parking is ample, lots of space to sit indoors & out w good lighting. Peet’s coffee shop in shared space is fire.
Thai spicy salad was good - just not outstanding. I think I’ll stick the sandwiches for future lunches. My fave cookie is wheat germ chocolate chip. They had a good selection of baked good even just 2 hrs before closing. Also some day old 50% off.
Service was super fast, friendly

I have never once ordered food at Specialty where my order was made correctly. I am allergic to avocado, I always ask for it to be removed from the Cobb salad that I order and every single time, it is made with avocado included. Now when I remind them I ordered the salad with no avocado, I get attitude. If it wasn't right by the office, I'd never come here again.

Good location to grab a sandwich and coffee if heading to Moffitt Field museum. The cafe is big and set up to do a lot of catering. However, if you need a place to go to study or have a business lunch, then this place is set up for that. Every wall had an outlet or USB charger.

The food was good and the right portion size. It is on the pricy side but also matches the bay high area costs for everything. The turkey, pulled chicken and turkey and cranberry sandwiches had good flavor, and the froccasia bread was soft.

The bakery items we got were good but did not stand out from other bakerys we been too.

This was my first time in a Specialty's after all the Bay Area stores closed right around when CoViD hit. I'm so glad the owners decided to take a chance and open a new store at this location next to the NASA base.

For anyone who used to work in the FiDi in San Francisco, this feels like coming home. The sandwiches and cookies are the same tip-top quality as I remember, and the drink selection has gotten even better.

As for the service -- outstanding. I miss the cloth bags they use to hold large orders back when I used to order breakfast for the whole office, so I asked if I could buy one; instead the cashier walked to the back and got me two new bags for free, then wished me a pleasant day. What more could I ask.

The people of Mountain View don't know how good they've got it here. Come back, Specialty's, we miss you!

Specialty's Cafe and Bakery is a great option for a quick and casual meal. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

The cafe offers a wide variety of cookies, muffins, cakes, and pies, all of which are made fresh daily.

I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a good meal in Mountain View.

Wonderful treats. Really loved the spinach and egg croissant - hot and fresh. The apple twist was nice overall but had a strange aftertaste.

Wonderful friendly staff. Super clean, beautiful ambiance. Food is delicious and so is the coffee. The patio is beautiful. I will definitely be coming back soon! It’s a great family friendly place where you can watch the vta from the window. Parking is very easy as it has its own lot that includes designated curbside pickup areas.

Great food and a very comfortable and clean atmosphere. Cafe is Peet's and is okay too, maybe understaffed there. For example I ordered a cappuccino and I wish that they could have just told me they didn't have any whole milk or at least what they substituted it with when they gave it to me (see picture, pretty disappointing...). Over all the staff is wonderful though.
