I really like the coffee in Coupa Cafe near University Ave in Palo Alto. Does anyone know of any cafe of the same quality in Sunnyvale?

In Sunnyvale proper (not including nearby cities), everything I've tried is downtown:
The Bean Scene on Murphy St. near Washington (downtown). They have consistently good coffee, decent eats, WiFi, hourly computer rental, sometimes an open mic on Mondays, they host local visual artists. They are quite popular. It's not strong coffee like Peet's, but it's what I like.
The Palace Cafe on the same street is a bit more decorative, more "european", has awesome homemade soups, but I found the coffee inconsistent, the service is usually very slow (if you're in a hurry) and I don't understand the "deli" aspect (entire half-chickens, sauerkraut by the pound), but the soups and sandwiches and desserts are usually quite good.
"Coffee and More", on the corner of the same street, has affordable (and usually delicious) home-made soups that are made by the restaurant next door. Almost everything else about the place is unremarkable. Coffee has been inconsistent, but often very strong, if you like that.
BTW, I'm ignoring chain establishments (Star*ucks and Peets) as most of the revenue doesn't stay local and they contribute to the "WalMartization" (ie, homogenization) of culture. Sorry; it's just me.
