The Farm

Farm-fresh all-day cafe at Stanford Shopping Center with house-made pastries, seasonal bowls, and locally sourced ingredients from morning through early evening.

The Farm brings an interesting mix of café favorites and Turkish dishes to Park Boulevard in Palo Alto. Avocado toast, eggs Benedict, waffles, and breakfast wraps make familiar starting points, while lahmacun and manti give the menu a more distinctive direction. We like that a casual café meal can lead to something beyond the usual sandwich or salad. The lahmacun tops dough with seasoned ground beef and vegetables, and the manti pairs beef dumplings with yogurt sauce, browned butter, mint, and paprika. Pizzas range from Margherita to pesto with avocado and roasted beets, while a lamb casserole combines meat and vegetables beneath mozzarella. Lavash wraps and colorful salads provide other options. The Farm's appeal is this variety within a daytime-friendly format, bringing American, Italian, and Turkish influences together without requiring everyone at the table to choose the same style of meal.
