State of Mind Public House and Pizzeria

An upscale food hall in downtown Los Altos: ramen bar, ice cream shop, coffee, and even a small arcade, with covered patio seating. The food-hall format solves the 'everyone wants something different' problem.

A small wooded park with playgrounds, a big lawn and a short trail into Redwood Grove Nature Preserve, a five-minute walk from coffee on Main Street.

A small redwood grove along a creek with an easy loop for small kids, right next to a playground.
