Shokolaat in Palo Alto is Modern Bistro centered in the heart of Silicon Valley. The concept of Shokolaat is that of a neighborhood Restaurant, Patisserie, Chocolatier, and Lounge serving lunch and dinner with take out pastries. With it's elegant yet casual ambiance it is most certainly a place for an impromptu gathering of friends, a fun culinary evening with a business client, to a romantic dining experience for two. As our guests arrive and throughout your experience our service staff will treat you with genuine care.
Our culinary team is pleased to tempt your pallet with our seasonal inspired menu stemming from mostly local, organic, and sustainable ingredients. Finish up your meal with our selection of European style chocolates and pastries made with organic sugar, flour, and dairy from St. Anthony's farm in Sonoma.
If a trip to Paris is out of the question, our early morning pick me up of freshly baked croissants and danishes, of course made from organic ingredients, can be enjoyed with organic, fair trade coffees from the Barista.
