It's literally black.

I ordered a turkey sandwich. It's really hard to ruin a turkey sandwich unless.... You burn the bread, KNOW that it's burnt and still serve it to a customer. Disgusting sandwich. They just don't care.

A quick stop breakfast when you're in the go with lots of different options. I usually just stick to a classic bagel + cream cheese which is bang for buck. I do prefer veggie bagels in the morning, but their veggie bagel is really overpriced and almost 3x the price of a regular bagel + cream cheese and nearly the same price as all their lunch sandwiches. I've tried their pre-made breakfast burritos which sometimes hits the spot but other times I think it may have been sitting there awhile and is not super fresh.

Stopped.for a toasted pastrami sandwich. The sandwich was not toasted and otherwise boating and uninspiring. The kind you prepare yourself under 2 minutes at home from cheap and generic ingredients. Not stopping by here again.

This place is good for a quick bite. There's free internet and the food typically comes fast. Their lemon bars are pretty good but not the best. There's an assortment of food and drinks to pick from. It's open pretty late which makes it a good place to get food if you are on break for for one of your night classes at Berkeley Community College. Their bagels are either a hit or miss. Sometimes they come nicely prepared but other times they come with barely any cream cheese and unevenly spread. I attached a photo of my disappointing bagel I recei today. Update: I was on a 5 minute time restraint and starving and I knew this place was close by. Luckily, it wasn't busy so today their bagel was better prepared and pretty good. I still wish they were more friendly though. The man who made my food handed it to me without even looking at me, but he made a decent bagel with evenly spread cream cheese. The other man who rang me up didn't seem very friendly either.

Still gulped my Thai ice tea down but this is not a medium this is a small

It's convenient due to the fact it's next door to my School BCC. But other than that the items on the menu are over priced. Ordered a medium Thai iced tea and a raisin bagel, I was unsure if the bagel was blue berry or raisin so I asked the guy behind the counter what kind of bagel is it he had an attitude and was snappy with his reply, then, when I asked if he had strawberry cream cheese he seemed even more agitated. Oh! And the medium Thai iced tea portion cup is not a medium sized cup it's a small smh which cost me $3.50.

One day, I decided to go out of my comfort zone (cheese bagel with cream cheese) and try one of the chicken calzones.

Forest Tea Bar - Matcha latte, hojicha latte

Forest Tea Bar

South Berkeley

I'm slowly making my way through all of the new matcha cafes in Berkeley. But I fear I might pause…read morebecause Forest Tea Bar has my heart! First off, the vibes are so zen, even if it's extremely busy! I came with my friend, both of us Japanese. It was a nice change of pace being in a cafe like this. It's common in Japan for cafes to be more western, so she was shocked that this cafe was more minimalistic, Asian-inspired, haha. There's bar seating plus indoor and outdoor tables. Most customers are Cal students studying or working, and seats can be limited. Communal seating is communal, and there's seating outside too. The service was great! We sat at the bar so we could watch what was happening. We loved how sweet one of the workers who helped us was. Kind service, and they put time and care into making each drink. Wait times can vary, but it's so worth it! I love any Japanese tea--matcha, hojicha, I'm all there! But I especially loved how they have genmaicha. I got the Genmaicha Latte with Oat Milk. It was perfect, subtle sweetness and roast, and a nice earthy matcha blend. I'd get it again. My friend enjoyed her Hojicha Latte, and they were kind enough to accommodate her request and give us Hojicha Tea as well! Everything was great quality and delicious. Forest Tea Bar is a wonderful cafe in Berkeley to get a matcha or other tea drink. Find them off Shattuck Ave. with street and metered parking around. Looking forward to coming back again and again!

Small, high-quality matcha tea bar with a super simple aesthetic. This place was absolutely…read morephenomenal! They whisk everything by hand--none of that premade matcha sitting in a pitcher. You can taste the effort (and maybe the arm workout too). I think there are only about three staff members making drinks at a time, so if you come during peak hours... yeah, you will be waiting. Patience is part of the menu. If you're not about that waiting life, I highly recommend coming on a weekday before the rush. Trust me, your future self will thank you. Also--no bathrooms and no parking, so plan accordingly. Street parking is your only option, so may the odds be ever in your favor. Overall, I would definitely come back... even if it means circling the block a few times first.

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!

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 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.
