Ann's Coffee Shop, a landmark on Santa Cruz Ave.,  has been family-owned since 1946. This is not a place to come…More if you're trying to cut calories. Ann's hearty breakfasts are served all-day, and the filling lunches will satiate even the largest of appetites. Be sure to save room for dessert, as the famous rhubarb pie is not to be missed. Everything at Ann's is made from scratch, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the staff is friendly and personable.</p> <p>Part-owner, Nicki Paplos, described the customer experience as coming to one's second home. "This is my office," a regular customer named Gary, said. "People call me here when they can't find me at home."</p>

Menlo Park Presbyterian Church rests on a large campus in downtown that is also home to a school and a library. It is…More a satellite church to four other places of worship on the Peninsula, including <a href="http://mppc.org/about-mppc/campuses/menlo-park-caf%C3%A9">The Cafe</a> at 700B Santa Cruz Avenue.</p> <p>Its leaders understand the spiritual and practical needs of their technology savvy congregation. Parishioners who missed a sermon can <a href="http://mppc.org/learn/sermons">download </a>a video or audio recording to their computer from the church's web site to study the Bible from the comfort of their home.</p> <p>For those who more enjoy traditional, in-person readings, a full list of Bible study groups can be found <a href="http://mppc.org/calendar/bible-studies">here</a>.</p>
