My four year-old didn't like all the mixings on top, so we let him try just the booza and he liked it! He even carried it all the way home and tried to put it in the freezer for later. The vibe is immaculate. Lots of people like to sit at the tables indoors yet the outdoor seating is truly delightful in Berkeley if you are lucky enough to get a table.

My friend and I stopped in and ordered a hot matcha latte and a cappuccino and both drinks were…read morehonestly spot-on. Everything tasted creamy, smooth, and most importantly not overly sweet. The matcha had a clean, mellow flavor and the cappuccino had that perfect balanced richness. What really elevates this place is the location. It sits right next to a large park, and the whole area has such a vibrant, feel-good energy. People were lounging outside, sipping coffee, and just soaking in the day, it made the whole visit feel extra cozy and lively at the same time. Inside the café has a serious charm. There's a massive bookshelf filled with books (huge bonus points for including kids' storybooks too), which gives the space a warm, community feel. Service was quick and efficient even though the place was buzzing. Fair warning: it's clearly a favorite among students but somehow it still works with the vibe rather than against it.

They have multiple South Asian inspired tea and coffee beverages including Banana Einspanner, Matcha Roofsafzah etc. Their main beverages are various kinds of chai. Our ratings: 1. Karak Chai: 3/5 - pretty average chai, the price was pretty steep for the portion that was provided but i appreciated how strong the drink was 2. Cortado: 3/5 - again my friends were shocked with the portion (teeny, tiny cup) and it was $5. Friends needed to hop over to another coffee shop for another drink 3. Jaggery Chocolate Chip Cookie: 4/5 - this was solid, tastes like a typical indian cookie. Different taste for folks used to traditional choco chip cookies

Parking was very tricky as it's only metered but glad I was able to snag a spot just a block away. The business itself wasn't that big and there were a few customers inside when I arrived on a Friday afternoon. I went straight to the kiosk and ordered the drink. It took about 5 minutes before I received a text that it was ready. The drink didn't blow my mind as I thought it would. I did taste the rice but not much of the mango. The matcha was average even after mixing everything together. I don't drink coffee so not sure if their coffee drinks would've tasted better or different.

I really liked the feel and interior of the coffee shop. So much natural light! It's at the corner so they are easy to spot!

We shared the Merguez Sandwich and a Rose Pistachio Turkish Delight. They don't have any indoor seating but have a few tables outside. We waited about 10 minutes for our sandwich. The sandwich was delicious! We got it medium spicy and it was perfect for us. I would have loved it if it had a bit more sauce to it because it was a bit dry but the flavor was great. The turkish delight was so yummy and I thought it was also well priced. I'll happily be back in the future to try more of their foods and pastries! There was also plenty of street parking in the neighborhood.

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!

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.

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!
