Cafe Zoë is a bit of a Menlo Park institution. The cafe changed hands in 2022 when "Pizza Guy" Matt Burr took the helm, but little else has changed in terms of it being a welcoming place for people and the arts.

The Cafe Zoë open mic has been going on for 18 years with Pete Sommer at the helm this whole time! Head out to the back patio and join the fun. Because it's popular, it's a good idea to order your pizza in advance so it'll be ready in time for you to eat during the event.
