About Cocoa & Butter:

Cocoa & Butter is a woman-led, family-owned and operated European-style bakery and patisserie cafe, opening early Spring 2022 in downtown Palo Alto, minutes from Stanford University. We believe that vibrant neighborhoods are not built on ghost kitchens, but rather spaces where people can gather around and savor food. As we emerge from the pandemic, we will be offering an ambiance focused on celebrating the art of food, and are looking for team members who share this vision.
