    Made a special trip for the Kinako Hojicha Latte (only available during restaurant week, 4/2-12) only to find it sold out on 4/4! Bummer!
    Miriam W.

    Three stars because I made a special trip to get the Kinako Hojicha Latte (only available 4/2-12 for Berkeley Restaurant Week) and it was sold out on the morning of 4/4. That disappointment aside, I couldn't have been happier with my less sweet Kyoto Fog. But why spread news of the Kinako Hojicha Latte and its limited time availability if you don't actually have it?

    Pricey but very good matcha. I like all of their different flavors! My friend got tiramisu matcha, and I got ube (but I was eyeing the white peach or black sesame as well.) Lots of seating, but it's likely taken up by college students. One bathroom stall so expect a line. You order at a kiosk and service is pretty quick! The ube was sweet and flavorful.

    Decided to give this location a try and it was a lot bigger than I thought! Love the amount of seating they had so definitely a great place to study or catch up with friends. I got the double matcha which I wished had stronger flavor of matcha but the cream was super yummy! The pandan matcha was a bit watery. The mango matcha is pretty heavy, more of a dessert matcha imo. The purple rice is pretty thick but again the cream on top is super yummy. Parking is pretty hard to find but it is Berkeley:) Would recommend to try if you're looking for a new matcha spot!

    Strawberry Shortcake Matcha and Banana Coffee
    cristina p.

    Binge is one of our favorite coffee spots! We're happy to see that they've opened another location in Berkeley; one that's much bigger. This was our first time visiting their new location and it was very spacious! Even though the shop was much bigger, it was still full of people; almost all of the tables were taken when we walked in. We ordered for pick up and were able to find an open table. We took some flicks of our drinks and tried some food items we purchased; pandan waffles and popcorn chicken. The coffee we had tasted great, like always. The pandan waffle was nice and chewy and the popcorn chicken was crispy and flavorful.

    Binge Coffee House opened 4 months ago where Feng Cha Teahouse once was. Interior renovated, place looks clean, brightly lit, full of happy laptopers drinking their libations. Many people ordered on a kiosk. I ordered at counter since I didn't have Credit Card with me. Briefly saw a menu somewhere. Sips: su da Viet coffee (5.95) small size, less sugar. -came in under 5 minutes. So surprised. Still tasted pretty sweet. Forgot to order less ice. Luckily ice was small crushed pieces. When it melted, didn't affect taste of coffee. Level of saltiness surprisingly ok. - still had a semi bold coffee taste. Offerings: Matcha, Viet coffee. Banh mi, pandan waffle. Yelp suggests Binge for patrons who like Mind Coffee. Advisory is so bogus. There's nothing similar between the 2. 4.5 stars Semi-worthy. Rounded up to 5 for great service. Quality: very good: no shortcuts observed. Quantity: reasonable. Similar to others. Lines may be long. Service with drinks is fast.

    Black Sesame Coffee
    Miranda L.

    Matcha and coffee flight for the thanksgiving season ~~ Drinks: Black sesame coffee was surprisingly my superior choice revealing a nutty cookie like taste. The Vietnamese coffee was strong yet perfectly sweetened without too much milk. Now, I am pleased to be open minded toward black sesame anything haha. Banana Coffee I appreciated its real banana purée which authenticates the flavor paired with the cheese foam. However it did not surpass socal Phin Smith's banana latte in fountain valley the cardinal hub of Vietnamese coffee. We had our own matcha flight ranking: (1) Pistachio, (2) strawberry shortcake and (3) ube. Pistachio Matcha was well executed from the foam to matcha portion. Ube Matcha was good but I wished for more ube taste even tho it was bright purple. Strawberry Shortcake Matcha was eye pleasing with adorable teddy grams on top and thru the drink elevated the marrying twist between them. Noted that some drinks offer varying sweetness baseline min levels such as no sweetness or 25%, ceremonial grade matcha is used for drinks and itty bitty ice. Food: The popcorn chicken as a snack was great! Good quality pieces that were not overly oily nor salty. The spicy option entailed a spicy ketchup not a chili seasoning coat on the chicken. Service: we ordered on kiosk but an employee was attentive cleaning tables and garbage duty. We appreciated orders were regulated to ensure proper pick up. Overall: we will come again when visiting the sibling at UCB

    vietnamese egg coffee
    Melissa Y.

    Amazing Vietnamese coffee! I got an egg coffee and it came with a generous amount of egg cream. The coffee was thick, perfectly sweetened, and strong enough that I decided to let the ice melt a little before drinking more. Really appreciated that they filled the cup to the top and that there wasn't a ton of ice. Their vegan ham banh mi is also solid. It's nice that they even have vegan ham, since tofu often tends to be the sole vegetarian option for banh mi. I ordered on Snackpass and my order was ready before the stated time.

    Love this spot! Absolutely loved the banana matcha from Binge Coffee
    Merna D.

    Absolutely loved the banana matcha from Binge Coffee The banana flavor was subtle but so good with the matcha -- creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and the balance of flavors was perfect. Definitely one of the best matcha drinks I've had lately. Will 100% be coming back for this again.

    I was really surprised to see yet another Binge location open up in the East Bay! I usually get their coffee drinks, so this time I went for the Melon Matcha to see what the rest of their menu has to offer. If you've ever had a Melona, or a Korean melon bar, imagine that melted into a shake and then mixed with matcha! It's absolutely delicious and super refreshing. The bitterness of the matcha adds a nice twist to this nostalgic flavor. I am really glad that even though Binge is expanding and opening multiple locations, the quality of their drinks has stood strong. The ease of ordering, at all of their locations, but especially this one, is streamlined by having multiple ordering kiosks. I believe his location has 3-4 ordering kiosks and you can order at the counter as well. Since the space is so large, it's perfect for studying for a bit or even a good spot for "working from home"! We came during their soft opening & honestly, I can't wait to see how they continue to grow. I already love how this location has Berkeley themed cup designs!

    White peach matcha
    Chika M.

    Absolutely obsessed with the white peach matcha, I've never had that flavor in matcha and it was so good! I loved how thick the matcha was too, and I feel like they gave a nice layer of it. Would highly recommend.

    Pumpkin pie Matcha
    Jacqueline N.

    $9.25 for an almond milk matcha es muy cara...BUT considering it's a pretty tidy space with plenty tables, free wifi, plenty of seating, and it's walking distance from UCB makes this place worth a try. The pumpkin Pie cream has a hint of pumpkin purée in it and topped with pumpkin spice. With fall drinks it's always a toss up of how much pumpkin they load up into your drink but it had just enough flavor not to overpower the matcha. The matcha itself was a nice color and went down pretty smoothly. I got 75% sweet which was barely sweet imo but it was good enough for me.

    Black sesame matcha latte
    Alex M.

    I've been seeing Binge Coffee on my Instagram feed for months, so I was delighted when they opened a cafe closer to campus right on Telegraph. The menu features a variety of matcha and coffee beverages, and the black sesame matcha was calling my name. When I visited the cafe, there were about five people in line ahead of me - which is why I was shocked when I was able to order and receive my drink in less than five minutes. After I picked up my drink, a barista checked in with me to make sure my drink was perfect (it was). The black sesame foam slowly seeped into the creamy matcha latte, and it was just the pick-me-up that I needed after class. I can't wait to come back and try the other flavors - I spotted matcha pandan on the menu, which is what I plan to try next time.

    Caffeinated=happy :)
    Elaine C.

    This new Binge location is much larger than the original, taking over the former Feng Cha space, yet it still manages to be packed every time I visit. If you're over cream tops, I highly recommend the coconut coffee--it perfectly blends the boldness of a traditional viet iced coffee with the nutty richness of coconut milk. The matchas tend to be popular, but personally, I'm not the biggest fan. Binge Coffee House is quickly establishing itself as a Berkeley staple. Love to see the hype for Asian flavors!

    Love Artis Coffee!…read more My wife and I haven't been on Fourth Street Berkeley in a long long time! Thankfully while doing some shopping and after a great meal at Divan Restaurant a few block away we popped into Artis Coffee. Wow! It was after 4 pm but what the hell, I ordered a cappuccino and my wife order a defca cappuccino, several pastries and took in the HUGE space! Our cashier was very friendly and appreciated our humor and debate on whether to have a "decaffeinated" cappuccino or not. I convince my wife to order one and she loved loved loved it! My "hi test" cappuccino was spectacular, smooth and perfect! Honestly, It took me back to Roma where we had aour honeymoon 22 years ago! Bella! If you find yourself on Berkeley's Fourth Street and looking for a perfect roasted coffee make sure to hop into Artis Coffee and I know you will love it too!

    Artis Coffee was okay…read more I had an Ube Latte, 12 oz, iced, with matcha and oat milk ($8.50 plus $2 tip) and it was good. Artis opened on December 7, 2013 and is located on the northern end of the Fourth Street Shops (a.k.a. Fourth Street Berkeley). This is a fairly spacious cafe with an industrial/warehouse, minimalist look. During my afternoon visit, it was busy inside and out on the covered patio. Lots of people on their laptops. Artis roasts their own coffee. Service was fine. I got a side eye from the cashier/barista when I asked where the water station was (it was my first time and I was unfamiliar with this place), but they were nice and polite otherwise. The water pressure at the self-serve faucet was too strong and sprayed water everywhere. Good for a coffee fix if you're in the area.

    I wish i lived closer because this would be my go to coffee shop! I stopped by around 10:30am on a…read moreSaturday morning and there was ample street parking. There were only a couple of tables occupied (there are 2-3 normal tables with chairs and a couple of floor cushion seats). I can definitely see that during the weekday, it would be packed with college students and parking would also be hard to come by. I ordered the Iced Whipped Honey Cream Latte (with Oat Milk) online. The drink was ready in less than 4 minutes. If you enjoy coffee on the sweeter side with flavored cream tops, this coffee shop is for you. The Honey Cream was sooooo good and perfect amount of cream vs at some other coffee shops there is a very thin layer. Whenever I am in the area, I will be stopping by.

    The star of the lineup is definitely the Orange Blossom Latte or so I've heard, (it's their OG!)…read moreThe coffee is light with a subtle hint of orange on the finish, so neither flavor overpowers the other. Instead, they complement each other really well, creating a balanced and delicious drink. As for the Whipped Honey Crème Latte, I didn't really taste much hojicha. It was mostly bitter and watered down, even though they just made it. Never had a Cortado before, but it was my first time trying it. It was verry bitter. That's all I have to say. I do have to say that the shop was a little hard to find. I was following Google Maps, but the hair salon next door blocks the storefront quite a bit, so I didn't really notice the sign.
