This month, a new coffee shop will open on the first floor of Roque & Mark’s Stanford West building. The previous café recently closed its operations; Little Lunch Café will replace it.
Little Lunch Café is a local coffee shop, sharing its “values of community, coffee, and connection” with the local communities it serves. Little Lunch will serve gourmet coffees, teas, specialty drinks, and food items like burritos and pastries. Additionally, Little Lunch has their award-winning barista working at this new location, he’s won international awards and had one visitor saying, “It’s the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had!”
The company also has an existing location in Venice, a popular spot for locals looking for a quick coffee or bite to eat. They are soft-launching the Stanford West location with reduced hours: Wednesday-Sunday 8 AM to 2 PM. Outdoor patio seating is available, and there is free parking in the underground lot.

The first-floor space will host Little Lunch Café during the day, with Offhand Wine Bar continuing its operations at night, transitioning from a bright coffee shop to a sultry evening hotspot.
