No Name

The chef here is endlessly creative and caters to health-​conscious foodies. Some of my past favorites:
— Pizza with apple, feta cheese, and red wine
— Pizza with duck comfit, black truffles, and fresh mozzarella
— Purple Japanese sweet potatoes
— Israeli style couscous
— Sesame-​infused cauliflower
— Any dish with butternut squash
— All of their fancy cheeses
A fervent omnivore, I usually pity vegetarians and scoff at their slim pickings, but the colorful vegetarian section at No Name never fails to disappoint: all but one of the dishes that I listed above were vegetarian.
No Name serves hot breakfast, and it’s also one of the few Google cafes where the dinner is just as good, if not better, than lunch. Eating here is always such a treat!

The food here is probably better than the other Google cafes I’ve been to, but it can have a weird taste to it. And the atmosphere isn’t that great: It’s a crowded cafeteria.

Yum. I love the variety. Everything is a little different, very original and creative from what you’ll find outside, and it feeds my culinary curiosity. Even their iced water has to be different (Basil-​infused water).
I had to control myself to not scream and Unilocal from excitement!

this place constantly has the freshest, best figs i’ve ever had in my entire life. let’s also talk about the portabello mushrooms, the soup, and the freakin’ turkey. yes, the roast turkey. this restaurant, for lunch, breakfast, or dinner, has all of my favorite foods.
if only i could pay to eat here.

Everyone I know has reported sightings of Sergei Brin (Google co-​founder) at No Name (and by everyone I mean my husband and a friend of ours… but at least they were at on separate occasions!). After eating twice a month at No Name for the last seven months I can now say I’ve seen Sergei — the man, the myth, the legend — in person.
For those wondering, he was sitting at a table in No Name with three other dudes. And then later he passed me in the hallway between No Name and Andale. No one else was there (well, except my husband). I think we had a moment.
