: Bay Area Brews & Views — Spot 21 My first cafe of 2026 and my first one with my little one 🫶🏽(hi, new mom here) 📍 Red Rock Coffee, downtown Mountain View — a place that’s been long loved as more than just good coffee. Since 2005, it’s been a true community hub with a relaxed, indie vibe that instantly makes you slow down. Red Rock is known for supporting local music, art, and culture — from open mic nights to live performances and creative events. It’s the kind of cafe where people come to work, meet friends, study, or just feel part of something. There’s even a spacious second floor (I didn’t make it up there this time) that’s popular for long laptop sessions, plus free Wi-Fi. This spot isn’t just about caffeine — it’s about culture. A longtime gathering place for creatives, musicians, and locals that really reflects the heart of Mountain View’s downtown scene.
