Town & Country Village in Palo Alto

Lots of interesting shops and eateries. Can be crowded like any other popular venue.Has the feel of a smaller town. But, you are across the street from Stanford and Paly High School. Effectively almost at the epicenter of Silicon Valley.

Lovely collection of stores and restaurants. Parking can be tricky and prices are n the higher end. Lovely shaded areas for walking and sitting. Cupcakes, coffee, fashion, tutoring, and of course, Trader Joe’s.

A great place to shop and meet people but 20th parking lot to town and country. It was a great place to introduce to two colleagues from India client from the bay area and myself.

Im absolutely biased in my support of T&C. I went to high school across the street some thirty years ago, and Ive visited ever since. My classmates and I would cut class to extend our lunch... wrapped around a table with a lazysusan bound to serve us Chinese food. Or we would admire all the sweets at the German deli, usually resolving to get a salami sandwich. When the high school had a special event, I would find myself at the flower shop buying miniature roses. It was a special day to stop at Stickneys (was that the name?) or the yogurt shop with carob chip drops.All these memories are locked away in my head, since none of these older businesses are still there. I do flashback when I pass by the optical store, but the memory is fleeting. Wasnt there a barber next door? But Im creating new memories. I still visit the bookstore, and Printers, Inc. never disappoints. Lunch options are still strong and now diverse, and I always have to find something at the kitchen shop. Some shops have come and gone, but new ideas keep popping up making T&C always interesting.

I usually park in the back where there is extra parking. I don’t understand the idiots who play musical chairs with the parking in the front.Now they closed one of the lots in the back. I got the last street parking space, while the “valet parking” staff have a line of parked cars snaking around the entire side lot. If they closed a lot with no alternative, then this shopping centre becomes essentially unusable. Fix it, or I won’t come back!

Has a lot of stores of clothing and foods. So many restaurants. Ample parking. Clean and neat. Love the atmosphere there. Lots of space for patio seating. Must be crowded in the weekends due to standford being there.

It is a cute shopping area with delicious restaurants, bookstores, Diptyque, Trader Joes and various shops. The parking lot is crowded as it is a crowded place on the weekends.

Its practically on the Stanford campus so dont expect anything special. Its too busy for that. Years ago there was a brewery and a couple coffee shops. Those days are long gone.

Great shopping center to just seat down and relax sipping your favorite drink. Also great selection of shops to check out.

Popular, to the point of being crowded. Its an outdoor mall dominated by the impression of being next to scores of idling cars. The locals like it so theyre doing something right.
