Food Scene
I love love this ice-cream place. It boasts as the best ice-cream in Mountain View. I would say it is definitely the top 3 of my favorite ice-creams in the world (and that includes the gelato places in Venice).

It's one of the most unique bookstores I have been too. It's less of a bookstore than a introductory store for meditation/spirituality lovers. Here you can find books on Shamanism, Taoism, and Tibetan Buddhism etc, as well as all sorts of thingies related to the practice of those religions, such as crystals, singing bowls, and incense etc.

This is my favorite bookstore in Mountain View. It's relatively small compared to those city bookstores but all books here are so on the point. There is no BS books. I particularly love its collection on technology and social justice.
There is a small cafe on the second floor where you can relax and read.
