Christina G.

Amazing service from the owner himself and high-quality ingredients and craftsmanship. The orange latte was one of the best I've had. Right amount of sweetness and orange flavor and foamed just right - also the right balance of milk to coffee. I also had a seasonal blackberry oat matcha which had puree on the bottom, a foam on top, dried blackberries, and sumac. The matcha tasted like premium matcha and it was also not too sweet and the fruit/sumac really complemented the tea flavor. We got a punchcard and will be back!

I go here after Pilates and it's so good and consistent! I like their drink menu it's innovative and has all the classics too. As someone with dietary restrictions I also appreciated that the baristas informative and non judgmental attitude. I was recently diagnosed with celiac and have insulin issues on top of being lactose intolerant, so I can't thoughtlessly eat anything! It's nice to know I don't have to be self conscious about being that annoying high needs customer here- the barista knew what contained gluten as well as had a sugar free syrup option for lattes and non dairy milks. That made me feel very safe and content here. The cafe has huge beautiful windows so it has a sunny airiness to it! It's really lovely. And everything is the perfect level of sweet with good presentation.

The only coffee I've ever tried here is the Banana Latte which i highly recommend. It's a bigger cafe with a lot of seating BUT the seating is usually taken because of how close it is to CAL. Everyone is also very nice and the wait isn't ever too long.

Cute place! Love the spacious setup and the random Dragonball figurines. The merch on displace are nice too. The coffee didn't really hit for me though. I've had similar drinks before but I couldn't taste much of the orange here. Maybe it was an one-off?

Vanessa T.

I've been searching high and low for a coffee spot with the best banana cold latte. Not only did it taste fresh, but they added dried bananas and brown sugar on top. It was just perfect. The person helping us at the register was very kind as well. I was hesitant on ordering a Jaffa cake but I ordered one and he gave my husband a small one for free. Very kind of him. 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!

Reading a book and enjoying a jaffa latte.

A beautiful café slightly out of the central Berkeley hubbub with good coffee drinks, as well as lots of warmth, light, and tables. A big mural of oranges greets you as well as friendly service. The music was good, and it felt like I was in someone's summer patio instead of a winter afternoon. I could even smell oranges (they ended up being in the middle of juicing them). Their eponymous jaffa latte is lovely with orange syrup and a dried orange slice for garnish.

A long overdue review, but doesn't change my experience at Jaffa Coffee Roasters! Was headed back home and needed a pick me up for the drive. I'm always down to try new coffee spots and I'm glad I got to try the seasonal mumkin spice latte. My boyfriend also got the seasonal salted caramel by the sea. Both drinks were actually recommended by the lady taking our order. She was extremely friendly asking if it was our first time here and how we like our coffee. Our coffees came out quickly and we were both very impressed. The PSL had its special twist which I enjoyed compared to the normal PSLs you typically have at other coffee shops. The salted caramel by the sea was a perfect balance of sweetness with a hint of savory. Really enjoyable! Recommend you trying out if you're in Berkeley or passing by!

Jaffa Coffee Roasters is an absolute must if you visit the East Bay. They have something for everybody. Of course, they're famous for their Jaffa Orange latte, but as a non-coffee and minimal-caffeine drinker I was so happy to see they had teas and their Winter Warmers right now. I went with their Spiced apple cider (SO delightful, hot, and warmed my heart and cold hands). They also had a cranberry juice based tart winter warmer as well as a citrus one, but I was really glad I went with their hot apple cider. And all had no caffeine! The interior is absolutely jaw-dropping bright, welcoming, and elevated. LOVE the gorgeous Palestinian surfboard yeeeeew! And they have so much seating, you can pick a window-facing table for a quiet chat with your friends, or use one of the many table to plug in and do some work. Saw some people doing work on their laptops and some students studying. It has such a great space and lovely energy for everybody. The Jaffa orange wall mural is absolutely insane. I couldn't stop staring at it. Definitely one of my top 3 cafes to recommend to visitors or tourists when they're looking for a solid cafe spot with seating. Coming back again with friends obviously. No outdoor seating nor does it look very dog-friendly inside, but I'm sure that could easily be changed if they choose to invest in outdoor spots since they're on the corner of the street. PS street parking was free too!

I truly enjoyed this delightful cup of matcha latte. It cost about $9. Even though the place was small, I was able to snatch a seat for myself. Service was good, it only took about 10 mins to get my latte with 2 orders ahead of mine.

Visiting family again and excited to have our favorite coffee in Berkeley. The latte is so good that we end up having a second cup! Excellent service and welcoming atmosphere.

Came here at 7:30 am and there was plenty of seating. The staff was very nice and offered some suggestions for drinks to try. I got the chocolate rummana and loved the hints of sweetness from the pomegranate within the drink. Perfect for working with wi-fi, the seating and tables are great, and restroom is nice and clean. Please support this local business!!!

Jaffa is one of my favorite coffee shops in Berkeley! Service was great and so were the drinks! One of a kind drinks that are really high quality. I love the vibe inside as well, really good for studying or hanging out.

Cute little shop. I got an order Jaffa Orange Latte. I tasted zero orange. No sweetness. Just espresso and milk. But the location was cute with a lovely Palestinian interior. Would have been great to be able to relax woth a book and enjoy some of their pastries, but there is always next time.

Had the pleasure of trying Jaffa here in Berkeley. I ordered a Jaffa latte which was delicious but sadly overly sweet. The sweetness over powers the flavors of the Jaffa fruit which was a tad disappointing but nonetheless the latte was still good; just not a Jaffa latte per se. Aside from the drink, the hospitality and customer service was top notch! The Gaith brothers were extremely kind and welcoming. I love the fact that this cafe is Palestinian owned so I will be coming back to try their other drinks to hopefully find one that sticks. I recommend. read more

Would give this place 10 stars if I could. First and most importantly, the coffee is excellent. I got the Jaffa orange latte and my wife got a straight espresso drink (no flavor). Both were great -- the orange latte is an absolute can't miss. But also: The vibe is lovely, the space is bright and warm, the art is cool, and the service is friendly and super knowledgeable. And lastly, Jaffa uplifts Palestinian culture, history, and coffee tradition -- it's a special place. read more

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 love Middle Eastern Desserts, so when I was invited to a casual gathering here, I was delighted to check out Milyar's offerings. It was verrrryyyyy slowwwwww. I think we all waited 20 minutes-ish as they rolled out our orders. Because I'm a sucker for desserts, here's what I tried: Pistachio milk cake: suuuuper moist Chicken mustan: warm and savory with shredded chicken on the inside Knafeh cheesecake: Cheesecake Factory could never! Knafeh has grown on me since I first tried it, and I enjoyed this in cheesecake form. Pistachio Baklava: a classic! This was nice and big, like a small pie slice, and was soooo good. They also gave our gathering a Dubai chocolate milk cake and two baklavas for free.

I'd definitely come back to indulge in really nice cup of coffee and give myself some extra time to slow down and enjoy.

They have plenty of seating, and one of the biggest advantages is their excellent Wi-Fi speed, which makes it a reliable spot for remote work or studying. The atmosphere is enjoyable as well. There's usually music playing or a sports game on the TV, creating a comfortable, laid-back environment without being distracting. Their food selection is also better than you'd expect from a coffee shop. In addition to coffee and pastries, they offer cakes, breakfast items, and a variety of other snacks and treats, so there's always something to pair with your drink. Their hours are convenient, making it easy to stop by throughout the day. The only area where I think there's room for improvement is cleanliness. I've noticed on several occasions that when I arrive shortly after opening--sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour--there are still crumbs on the chairs, tables, and floor, even when there haven't been many customers yet. First impressions matter, and the café should be fully cleaned and ready for guests before the doors open. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down their own tables before sitting. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it for the atmosphere, Wi-Fi, seating, and food options. With a little more attention to cleanliness before opening each day, it would be an even better experience.

This place was obviously a popular spot because the traffic was busy and there was a line. When you get inside, it's very minimalistic.

We ordered two Tiramisu Matchas, one was very yummy thick and the matcha was strong. The other matcha was on the watery side and barely any cream. (We paid extra for Koku matcha, which is 50 cents more for a "stronger" matcha) We also purchased the double matcha with Koku matcha, which you'd think would be the strongest matcha flavor. Wrong! It was incredibly watered down, we also got less sweet for this drink. It tasted like syrup and oatmilk. The matcha cream is very light matcha as well. We also arrived at 4:40 and it took a while to be able to order because there was a line. Once we reached the kiosk it turned exactly 5:00 which is when they stopped serving crepes, we asked if we were able to purchase one but they said no so we were a little bummed out as well :( Customer service was not the best, they stopped calling numbers out so we were just waiting for nothing! I asked a few questions and it felt like I was a burden. The store itself is incredibly warm and tiny. Not their fault since the sun is facing the store but just another note. Verdict: Not worth the money, the drive, when Binge Coffee is around the corner and there's so many other matcha places all in the same vicinity.

Jaffa Coffee Roasters is the real deal. This isn't just a coffee shop--it's a craft coffee experience. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they take their roasting seriously. Every cup is made with precision, passion, and top-tier beans, and you can taste the difference. One of the roasters--actually, the head roaster--is an engineer, and it shows. You'll see all kinds of scientific glassware (think Erlenmeyer flasks and beakers) used in their brewing process, giving the whole place a next-level, almost lab-like vibe. But don't let that fool you--this spot isn't just about science; it's about heart. The service? Impeccable. The staff is knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about their craft. They'll walk you through their roasts, recommend something based on your taste, and make sure you leave with the perfect cup. And beyond the coffee itself, what makes Jaffa truly special is the cause behind it. It's a Palestinian-owned business, and you can feel the love and cultural pride infused into every detail. The interior is stunningly decorated, creating a cozy yet modern space that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. But let's get to the most important part--the coffee. It's phenomenal. Smooth, rich, perfectly roasted--whether you go for a classic espresso, a pour-over, or something more adventurous, every sip delivers. Jaffa Coffee Roasters is everything you want in a specialty coffee shop and more. Quality coffee, beautiful mission, and incredible service. 100% worth a visit. read more

I know the owners of this establishment and they are very nice people, however they recently hired a women who has very little knowledge of customer service this pass Sunday she was at counter doing nothing but looking out the windows of the door she had clearly seen me coming into the coffee shop the minute the door open she took off and so I waited and then I decided to get a cold drink instead however when I continued to wait I asked aloud if someone would come to counter she responded that I could leave??? Just saying if your gonna hire young make sure they don't speak to ur customers like that, your neighbor Sonya read more

Jaffa Coffee Rosters is quickly making its way to the top of my list! The atmosphere is so lively and welcoming, and the walls are lined with decor and artwork that you can't take your eyes off of. Not only are the baristas so inviting, but the coffee and the matcha is jam-packed with flavor and enjoyment. The blackberries in Napa matcha was absolutely incredible!! The whipped cream was slightly disappointing, but the flavor of the blackberry paired beautifully with the matcha. The only downside is how small the drink is for the price, but I'd say it's worth it as a treat to yourself based on Jaffa's quality taste. read more

Great experience at Jaffa Coffee Roasters on a warm Berkeley afternoon was a treat in itself. The fragrant aroma of freshly brewed coffee and tea fills the air, instantly inviting relaxation and comfort. I got an iced tea, which was cool and refreshing, truly the perfect match for the day's warmth. My friend went for a classic espresso, which he praised for its smoothness and depth. The ambiance is what sets Jaffa apart: the staff make you feel right at home, with a warmth that's genuinely family-like. A great local cafe that effortlessly combines class and coziness--highly recommended! read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Jaffa Coffee Roasters on their opening day, and I was blown away by the incredible hospitality. They went above and beyond, offering a spread of delicious pastries and fresh fruit, all for free! It was a true display of Arab hospitality. To top it off, the owner's dad was there, personally handing out coffee samples to everyone waiting in line. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic coffee and a taste of genuine kindness, this is the place to be. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Great hospitality, delicious coffee and cool space. I came here with my husband and FIL the other day and was greeted by Noor and his family who were more than lovely. Highly recommend their version of an iced mocha which is topped with cocoa nibs. Their freshly squeezed orange juice was amazing as well. We didn't have a chance to try their pastries, but they definitely looked tasty! It was also very nice to see the representation of Palestine and their family story on their walls. Looking forward to making this spot a regular. read more
