    This is one of my favorite neighborhood places. The staff is friendly, the sandwiches are delicious, and cups of coffee are generous and good.

    Breakfast croissant sandwich with ham (good!) - A croissant sandwich with ham and scrambled eggs is placed on a white plate by a window, with a coffee cup nearby and parked cars outside.

    This might just be my new favorite cafe. They have great coffee and food options for fair prices, they offer authentic Mexican pastries and breads from local Mexican bakeries, and they have free WiFi for customers without any network restrictions/blockers like other cafes that make it impossible to work. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend!!!

    Chicken sandwich

    Excellent turkey sandwich. Like this kind of small neighborhood type of cafe. Plenty of electrical receptacles for the laptop.

    Turkey morning sandwich with pepper jack, two eggs, and pesto on sourdough bread. - A sandwich with scrambled eggs, cucumber slices, and lettuce on toasted bread, partially wrapped in white paper.

    I got the morning sandwich with turkey pepper jack with 2 eggs and pesto on sourdough. Hands down the best sandwich I've had!

    Regular Avocado Toast without egg. - A piece of avocado toast on a white plate, garnished with cherry tomato slices, crumbled cheese, and black sesame seeds, served with a napkin.

    Nice little cafe for a quick stop. Nice light menu for breakfast. The staff inside were pleasant and helpful. It is a bit hard to find as it is tucked in between other shops or stores but they do have a small sign outside pointing the way. Think coffees, avocado toasts, bagels and small breakfast burritos.

    Bianca & bagel sandwich - A black coffee mug filled with a frothy beverage and a bagel sandwich with seeds on top are placed on a wooden table at a cafe.

    Such a calming little cafe! Stopped in for a morning, coffee and it did not disappoint! Smooth, and not too sweet. Also, it was the best temp for sipping and it stayed warm the entire time. Now the bagel sandwich... was not as poppin as I would have liked. Not bad, just not something I would rush to get again.

    Turkey and cheese breakfast sandwich - A close-up of a breakfast sandwich featuring egg, cheese, tomato, and turkey on a toasted bagel, served on a white plate.

    We came here from Yelp. It seemed like the place to be. It was OK. Nothing special. Maybe I should have read deeper into the reviews as to what they offered. The menu is limited for sure. They only serve turkey or ham, no other breakfast meats. That was a disappointment for us all. Just a heads up-- the menu doesn't necessarily describe the up charges for other breads, but there is one even though it says choose a bread. The best part? The food came out really quick. We were in and out. Thank you for that! They outsource all bakery goods and bagels from another bakery. The avocado toast left a bit to be desired. The bread tasted a bit like bananas and we weren't sure why. The cheese on the avocado toast was taking over the minimal avocado on the bread.

    This place is amazing. Great food (the avocado toast is to die for) and coffee. So glad it's in my neighborhood!

    Chicken sandwich was super fire! Love their bread and the fact that they toasted it. As a warning, they put cheese on their avocado toast

    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 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!
