LeAnn N.

The people here are so nice and kind. They're a small local business with delicious pastries, food and drinks! I'm addicted to their cookies. I can't remember what the cookies are called but its our favorite! The atmosphere is very inviting. There's some seating indoor and indoor or you can take it to go! Give them a try!!

Steak Sandwich & Matcha lemonade

Staff is great they will make you smile and add energy to your day. Sandwich & drink were tasty, they had WiFi, a view of the street, and are closely located to Berkeley. Great option for a cafe

Chorizo Empanada
Lala R.

$14.88 for this lukewarm chorizo empanadas, it was inedible. So disappointed & so hungry. Just not good at all. Very nice employees tho so for that they get 2 stars

GREEN DREAM SMOOTHIE - 24oz - $7.25 - Avocado, Spinach, Banana, Plain Yogurt.

WHEN: Thursday @9:30am PARKING: Metered Street parking for like $2/hour if I remember correctly. There was a decent amount at this hour. A friend and I wanted to do breakfast nearby the daycare she dropped her baby off that lasted for a little over and hour. There's all sorts of options here so it looked promising! There's both seatings indoor and outdoor, but quite limited. Here's what we shared: GREEN DREAM SMOOTHIE - 24oz - $7.25 Avocado, Spinach, Banana, Plain Yogurt. Pretty good to me! No complaints. VEGGIE QUESADILLA - $11 Black Bean Spread, Spinach, Zucchini, Bell Peppers and Mozzarella on Flour Tortilla. Cut into 4 sections, it also comes with a tiny side salad. I really enjoyed this and knowing its packed with veggies made me feel good. SPECIAL BREAKFAST CROISSANT - $10.75 Avocado, Arugula, Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, Chipotle Aioli and Cheddar Cheese. This hefty sandwich may need to be eaten with a fork and knife because things might fall out trying to eat like a sandwich. It's really good and comes with 2 tiny orange slices. The staff I thought were very friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great spot for students in the area.

Steak Sandwich
Selena L.

Random spot on northside that I'd never tried before, so I finally decided to swing by during my last 2 months of college. I was pleasantly surprised! I tried the steak sandwich, which was warm and super flavorful! The seasoning set it apart from other sandwiches, which just taste like deli meat and mayo most of the time. I came back once more to try the breakfast burrito, which I liked even more. The burritos are huge! I ordered it with the pineapple pork sausage, which was slightly sweet and so flavorful! Highly recommend.

Salmon bagel, beef quesilldia,

Small local spot with a warm and kind atmosphere. Quick service with delicous food, highly recommend!

Abe's is a cute lil spot to grab delicious food, fresh juice, smoothie or coffee to go. There are also a few small tables inside and out. Great jazz music plays from the speakers. There's a deli case where you can find tasty sweet treats. Their breakfast burritos are yummy, and grilled perfectly; the smoothies are super fresh! The guy at the counter is very helpful too.

Abes Bagel

The food is absolutely delicious! I came for a quick breakfast and I got my burrito within 5 mins. Inside was so cute, but seating looked limited. The workers greeted me with such positivity before and after ordering. Overall, a wonderful environment with great food!

Just alright. Owner is very pushy. Asked for toasted bagel, was not toasted. Bacon was ice cold. Options are limited in this area.

West Berkeley

We came on a Sunday morning and it was busy, with a line out the door and about a 35 minute wait…read morefrom getting in line to getting our drinks. Parking was easy though, with plenty of street parking nearby. The person at the register was friendly and gave helpful tips and recommendations. While waiting, we spent time watching the co-op roasting facility in the back through the glass windows. That is what really makes this place stand out. There is indoor seating but at 11 am it was completely full! There was some outdoor seating that was open. We tried the rose latte and it was spot on. The rose flavor was subtle and well balanced, not overpowering at all and the coffee was delicious! The only downside was that there were no gluten free pastries available that day, although I have heard they sometimes offer them. Overall, great coffee, a relaxed vibe, and a unique experience that is worth checking out and we will be back!

My morning at CoRo made me want to spend more time in cafes…read more I ordered a pot of Kyoto Bancha (Temple Pine) sourced from Blue Willow and it was expertly prepared. I didn't have time to get a second infusion of water, but it was offered to me. This place was buzzing on a Monday morning but I was lucky enough to nab a table inside. I didn't use the wifi but judging from the number of laptops around me, it works. Also, if you're looking for outdoor seating, they've got plenty of it.

Mind Coffee - Earl Grey Cream Cloud ($8)

Mind Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops in Berkeley - it's easy to miss unless you know…read morewhere to look. I came here recently for a pick-me-up while I was walking near campus. It was an unexpectedly warm day, so I stopped in for an iced caffeinated beverage. I was indecisive when it was my turn to order, so the barista recommended the orange blossom matcha sparkler. This sounded intriguing and refreshing, so I decided to give it a try. My beverage was prepared about two minutes after I ordered it, and I was immediately refreshed after the first sip. The orange blossom flavoring was very subtle and provided just the right amount of sweetness and floral essence to counter the matcha's bitterness. The fizziness made this a perfect drink for a hot day. I've tried Mind Coffee's espresso on a prior visit, and I can now say they succeed in both the coffee and matcha categories.

I was absolutely stunned when I first walked in. Mind Coffee feels like you're immersing in an art…read moregallery, apple store, forest, and a craft shop all at once. We ordered an Americano, the Earl Gray Matcha Einspanner Latte, and the Sakura Matcha Mindspanner Latte. The presentation was gorgeous, from the cups to the cream. The Sakura Matcha Mindspanner was definitely my favorite all around. The hint of sakura combined with the bold matcha was a very fun flavor experience. I think sadly, in the Earl Gray Matcha Einspanner, the matcha overpowered the earl gray. The flavor was there, but it was extremely subtle (don't get me wrong, I'd definitely get it again). Also, their espresso is unmatched. It really reminded me what a good espresso shot should taste like. The staff here were super friendly right off the bath. Even though there is an ordering kiosk available, they still went out of their way to greet us and let us know that they are there to also take orders and answer questions. I was also a bit bummed that they were sold out of their Orange Blossom Latte. I feel like it would taste like an orange creamsicle. They were very reassuring that it's a regular menu item and that I can hopefully get my hands on one before it sells out for the day next time! I can't wait to see what they come out with next!
