Googleplex - Big Table Cafe

The Googleplex is the corporate headquarters complex of Google, Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, United States, near San Jose. The original complex with 2 million square feet of office space is the company's second largest square footage assemblage of Google buildings (#1 is the 2.9 million square foot 111 Eighth Avenue building in New York City which Google bought in 2010). Once the 1.1 million square foot Bay View addition comes on line in 2015 the Googleplex would be the biggest collection of Google buildings with 3.1 million square feet of space. "Googleplex" is a portmanteau of Google and complex, and a reference to googolplex, the name given to the large number 10(10100), or 10googol. The Googleplex is located between Charleston Road, Amphitheatre Parkway, and Shoreline Boulevard in north Mountain View, California close to the Shoreline Park wetlands. Employees living in San Francisco, the East Bay, or South Bay may take a free wifi-enabled Google shuttle to and from work. The shuttles are powered by a fuel blend of 95% petroleum diesel and 5% biodiesel, and have the latest emissions reduction technology. Neighbors of the Googleplex include Shoreline Amphitheatre to the north; Intuit to the northwest and Century Theatres, Microsoft Corporation's Silicon Valley research complex, and the Computer History Museum to the south. Moffett Field lies nearby to the east. The location of the Googleplex is highlighted in the iPhone/iPad app Magic World, which places the Googleplex at the center of a scalable Universe. This honor for the Googleplex probably owes to the high-resolution aerial images available for the region.
