There's also the lack of soul-crushing suburban sprawl of the south bay, and the fact that you can legitimately live without a car.
Still no late-night coffee (with wifi!) but that has a higher chance of springing up in the city than in Santa Clara.

Coming from the east (Michigan) I have been a bit disappointed by the dearth of 24 hour anything in the bay area. Particularly things like grocery stores and Target. This is complete speculation but I wonder if it has to do with the fact that a lot of places in the northeast (NYC included) have a history of round the clock shift work in manufacturing.
I'm a little spoiled having lived in NYC directly across the street from a 24/7 Dunkin' Donuts.
