PET FRIENDLY Stanford University
Stanford University was founded in 1885 by Leland and Jane Stanford in memory of their only child, who died of typhoid fever at age 15. A private research university noted for its entrepreneurship, Stanford numbers 81 Nobel laureates, 30 living billionaires, and 17 astronauts among its alumni and faculty. Its campus is one of the largest in the United States, more than 8,000 acres on the San Francisco Peninsula.

Featured Pet-Friendly Restaurants & Cafes near Stanford University
A fantastic place to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the world walk by with your best friend from a table on their pet-friendly sidewalk patio. Or try one of their deliciously refreshing signature cocktails, like the Ahh Oui, made with Hendrick’s Gin, basil and lime, or the Carte Blanche, with Woodford Bourbon, lemon, Angostura bitters, and ginger beer. And maybe a bite to eat as well—raw oysters or Steak Tartare? Or make a meal out of little bites with a selection of charcuterie and cheeses. There are also brasserie-style sandwiches and more filling fare, like Chicken Paillard and Steak Frites.
Coupa Café has multiple locations in Palo Alto and Stanford but this one on Ramona Street has a nice-sized pet-friendly outdoor area where you can enjoy their fantastic food with your pooch. The cooking is Venezuelan influenced but also fusion eclectic. In the morning, you can get a Breakfast Arepa, as well as a Breakfast Bowl with yogurt, granola, and fruit, or a buckwheat Breakfast Crepe filled with mushrooms, avocado, and gouda. For lunch and dinner, the mash-up of Venezuelan and world cooking continues with an array of arepas and empanadas, as well as salads, paninis, wraps, and pastas.

What most people may not know about Stanford is that there was once a "colony" of narcoleptic dogs there—mostly Dobermans but also poodles, labs, and a schipperke named Bear—established to study the pathology of the disease. Now how does a narcoleptic dog differ from my dog, who seems to sleep 18 hours out of 24...?
And on the scientifically esoteric side of felininity (yes, we just made up that word), in 2016 researchers at Stanford's PULSE Institute in collaboration with the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, working off the thought experiment called Schr?dinger's Cat, were able to use X-rays to record atomic motion in more detail than has every been possible. How? Ask us no questions, but this Wikipedia entry does a nice job of explaining the original paradox.
If you're looking for a pet friendly place to eat, you'll have to go to nearby Palo Alto or Menlo Park. In Menlo Park, check out the Dutch Goose, a local institution that's been serving up burgers, pizza, and more for over 50 years. You and Fido can relax at their outdoor bar, The Duck Blind.
Saint Michael's Alley in Palo Alto has a lovely hidden patio where you can enjoy small plates like Ahi Tuna Poke and Pork Belly with Pickled Onions and Balsamic Syrup.
For off leash dog parks, again, look to Menlo Park (Nealon Park and Willow Oaks Park) and Palo Alto (Hoover Park, Greer Park, and Mitchell Park).© 2024 petswelcome.com, Inc. Conditions of Use. Please read before using this site.
