We believe that eating well is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and at The 3rd Door we give you many opportunities to partake in that pleasure. We emphasize whole, organic foods that are nutritionally dense and delicious. We offer freshly made soups, salads, and sandwiches, plus a daily selection of baked goods and crusty breads.

Come join us for coffee, breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. Or stop by for a glass of wine or cold beer in the evening. Our wine list features over 35 distinct selections, carefully chosen by one of the Master Sommeliers in the State of California. Our beers are sourced from artisan breweries specializing in rich, full flavors. We are confident that we have the perfect drink to complement your delicious meal. We also carry all food items to go for those days when you don’t have time to relax in the cafe.

We also cater and deliver lunches to businesses in the Palo Alto area. Our sandwiches and salads make a nutritious and delicious alternative to your usual options. From prosciutto with fresh mozzarella, basil and extra virgin olive oil on crusty baguette, to five-grain bread stuffed with a mix of fresh vegetables, our catered lunches are always a hit. Here is some of the feedback we've received:

"Sandwiches are usually not on my top list because I always think that they are dried and boring.  But 3rd Door's Daisy's is wonderful!  The duck meat was moist and tender. The brie and greens make a complete meal even without the side salad.  The fig spread is not overpowering and does not make the bread soggy. Very well-balanced and yummy!"

  "I loved the Johnny's—that bread is amazing and I love the fruit salad." "The Daisy was wonderful. We will definitely be ordering again." 

"The Daniels' was delicious. The roast beef was perfectly cooked with the melted cheese. We should definitely order from this place again."
