Cupertino

Cupertino is a city in Silicon Valley at the southern tip of the Bay Area (California) | San Francisco Bay.

Cupertino Halal Travel Guide

Cupertino (pop. 65,000) is situated up against the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains. It is something of an anomaly being the one city in the South Bay that doesn't have a distinct town center or main street. It is home to Apple Inc. and a handful of other tech companies, a highly rated local schools system and quiet neighborhoods.

How to travel to Cupertino

37.318|-122.042

It's 15 minutes west of San Jose (California) | San Jose and 45 minutes south of San Francisco. The nearest railway, Caltrain (connecting San Francisco with Gilroy, stops in downtown Sunnyvale, about a ten minutes drive from the downtown. Bus service is provided by VTA].

How to get around in Cupertino

Cupertino has 2 major streets: De Anza Blvd., which runs North-South, and Stevens Creek Blvd., which runs East-West. The intersection of these two streets is in the center of Cupertino, and most of the businesses and shopping centers in the city are located in the area.

Highways 85 and 280 cross through Cupertino. These provide excellent access to the Western cities in the South Bay (Bay Area) | South Bay, and to downtown San Jose (respectively).

Public transportation in Cupertino, as is the case for much of Silicon Valley, is very poor due to the low population density and demographics of the region.

Traffic is not much of an issue and major streets come with bike lanes, so biking is relatively safe.

What to see in Cupertino

Due to its consistent tangerine/beige colors and the amount of money local authorities probably spend in maintainance, Cupertino is actually quite beautiful, with a peculiar charm distinct to that of its neighbors. The contrast with San Jose outskirts, Sunnyvale or South Los Altos can be striking at city edges.

The northeastern quarter of Cupertino (including the "downtown" at the intersection of De Anza Blvd. and Stevens Creek Blvd.) hosts a large number of Apple Inc. offices. Thit is unusual given that tech giants tend to set their headquarters in outlying urban areas—usually beyond a freeway—and rarely approach downtown. Apple employees can easily make up the vast majority of bystanders in these locations, especially at lunchtime, and may be seen wandering around with half-open MacBooks and openly discussing confidential matters.

• De Anza College | 37.319216, -122.045348 intersection of Highway 85 and Stevens Creek Blvd - The community college for the area. It houses the Flint Center for the Performing Arts, where major events in the area take place. It is one of the largest community colleges in the area, and has an excellent reputation.

• Apple Infinite Loop - One Infinite Loop 37.330921, -122.029627 intersection of Highway 280 and De Anza Blvd - The historical headquarters of Apple, Inc., still in use. Despite their overall lack of aesthetic quality and they were the most recognisable of all Silicon Valley headquarters until the construction of the Apple Park a mile to the east, and Apple fans do take selfies in front of the main entrance. It is technically feasible to go through the first door, up to the reception and before security check, and then take a peek through the glass panes at the rather scenic main hall, with banners featuring the company's latest product hanging in front of the inner lawn.

• Apple Park - 37.335363, -122.009543 between Wolfe, Homestead, Tantau and Junipero Serra Freeway - The current headquarters of Apple, Inc., inaugurated in 2017. One of the largest buildings in the world (factories excluded) in terms of length and width, this $5 billion ring-shaped "spaceship" was built on the Vallco Park at the location of a historic barn, which was rebuilt on the north of the site. The Apple Park is near-entirely surrounded with a mound, trees and a fence, which conceal most of it from sight. In contrast, its glass walls are transparent enough to allow seeing the employees inside, and the sheer size of the place tends to give optical illusions on whether the walls are actually straight or curved. The Apple Park Visitor Center is a two-story building at the east of the headquarters. The ground floor includes a small Apple Store, exclusive merchandise, a café and an AR model of the site. Upstairs is a balcony with a view on the headquarters. Contrary to Infinite Loop, it is not feasible to smuggle oneself through the entrance of the Apple Park.

Shopping

Cupertino is served by a large regional enclosed mall, Vallco Fashion Park. It features Macy's, Sears, and JC Penney. Although the mall has seen better days, you can count on easy parking and no crowds. The mall is currently in the beginning stages of redevelopment, but will still keep the enclosed mall. The largest and newest attraction in the mall is the AMC 16 movie theater, opened in the past few years, with multiple IMAX projectors. Parking can be difficult to find on weekends in the evening due to the theater's popularity.

Apple's two campuses and the Apple Park and Infinite Loop, both feature a "Company Store". They sell corporate merchandise not available either at the company's standard retail stores or on the Internet, and each store sells different swag. This includes t-shirts (usually in limited edition), mugs, notebooks, caps, and other small gifts. They are open 10AM to 5:30PM Monday thru Friday, and closed on some American Holidays.

Halal Restaurants

Cupertino has a large Chinese population and so has a lot of Asian food choices. It doesn't have a walkable downtown and most of the restaurants are in smaller strip malls.

• Cupertino Village | Homestead and Wolfe - A good place to find authentic Chinese food, with the restaurants and retail outlets catering to mostly Chinese clients. Joy Luck Palace is a large dim sum restaurant in the center, and there are a few Taiwanese, Cantonese, and other regional specialty places around.

• Alexander's Steakhouse 10330 North Wolfe Road 37.327976 , -122.013804 next to Vallco Shopping Mall ☎ +1 408 446-2222 - Amazing tasting /steaks/ Steaks, but expect a bill in the 100s.

Stay Safe

Be careful to check for ticks after hiking in fields in the bay area. There is a high rate of lyme disease transmission in the Bay Area. If a bulls' eye rash develops at the tick bite site, immediately seek medical help and treatment with antibiotics.

Cupertino is very safe, with violent crime virtually nonexistent. On the other hand, this means the local sheriff's deputies have little to do but hide behind bushes to catch drivers for moving violations. Be sure to obey traffic laws while in Cupertino.

More Muslim friendly Destinations from Cupertino

• One of the city's strongest assets is its accessibility to the Mid-Peninsula Open Space Preserve (aka Rancho San Antonio) which extends up and down the Santa Cruz mountains.
• Not only is it one of the most accessible, Fremont Older Open Space Preserve is generally not as frequented as the other preserves on the peninsula, making for a quiet get-away very close to the heart of Silicon Valley.
