My partner and I came here as we were walking around the area, and it looked cute. The space itself is very minimalist chic with some seating (on both the floor on cushions and some chairs and tables). They have a pretty solid menu of coffee and tea options. The staff were kind and welcoming and we didn't have to wait long to order. We both got matcha lattes and they were very good. I would definitely come back here the next time I'm in the Berkeley area.

SUCH GOOD MATCHAAA - earl gray and banana one were delish. The wait is a bit ling bit makes sense bc its right by campus. The interior eats so hard I love the floor seating inspired by Japan.

Cute shop has wifi. Ordered earl grey matcha einspanner and pumpkin bread. Same pre packed pumpkin bread as every other cafe. Earl grey matcha - yummy whip - matcha wasn't strong - earl grey was light 6.7/10

Banana Pudding Latte and Whipped Honey Cream Latte
Ashley C.

Kept seeing this spot on IG (influenced by Gabe Bondoc himself!) so we made a stop on our way back home. I appreciated that they had online ordering so I could just jump out of the car and pick up the drinks! The shop itself is very tiny inside so if you can't snag a table then you won't be able to hangout inside. The drinks felt a bit watery at first but once you mix in the cream it was a lot better. My banana pudding latte was rich and creamy after it was mixed together. I liked the cream on top of the whipped honey cream latte as well, and both drinks were so pretty!

I have been searching for a place in my area where they serve Einspãnner Lattes, matcha or espresso. Ever since I went to Los Angeles and waited in that long ass line at Community Goods for a coffee; my first Einspãnner made with coffee, and I am hooked. That drink is so decadent, and leaves you wanting more. Caveat, I am not a coffee drinker but that brevè, cafe, and cremè cold drink is a simple piece of luxury. Back to Mind Coffee, I walked in and it was a very modern coffee shop to represent the modern drinks. I had an item from a secret menu. It was the earl grey matcha Einspãnner. The baristas favorite. I will say that it was tasty but it didn't have a decadent way about itself. Will I go back;; yes. Will I continue to make it a mission to find the best Einspãnner in the Bay Area; hell yes.

Orange Blossom Latte, Iced Whipped Honey Creme Latte, & Cortado (co-ferment)
Stephanie L.

The star of the lineup is definitely the Orange Blossom Latte or so I've heard, (it's their OG!) The 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.

Iced Mindspänner Matcha Latte ($7.50)
Cherylynn N.

Like it extra thicccc and creamy? Mindspänner. GET IT. Making my way through Berkeley's cafes, Mind Coffee's thicccc layer of whipped cream caught my attention. Being steps away from UCB's main entrance, street parking is hard to come by and it's a small shop with limited seating (all taken by students) so not the ideal place to do meet ups. Mind Coffee roasts and sells their own beans, and uses Arteao matcha and hōjicha. Decaf available. No charge for oat milk! Pastries and breakfast sandwiches available. Order ahead on Snackpass to skip the line. D R I N K S * Iced Whipped Honey Cream Hōjicha Latte w/ oat milk (Seasonal-$8.95) Rich, creamy, and roasty with a natural sweetness. The house whipped cream was thicc, fluffy, and cloud-like. Delicious esp with the bee pollen adding a subtle crunch. * Iced Mindspänner Matcha Latte ($7.50) Hand-whisked to order, the matcha was vibrant and smooth with an earthy umami. Not watered down. The fluffy whipped cream softened the earthiness and added a light sweetness. * Iced Mindspänner Latte ($7.50) - Add extra shot of espresso (+$1) Not mine but I had a sip, bold and creamy...affogato without the ice cream. S E R V I C E Warm, upbeat, and gracious staff...positive vibes all around. The ladies were so sweet and brought a cup of water for the pups as were were ordering. They also pointed out that the dog featured on the storefront and cups is actually the owner's dog, which made the place feel even more personal and charming. Drinks were ready in about 5 minutes (no line at the time). A M B I A N C E Gorgeous minimalist zen space centered around mindfulness, there's floor and table seating, and two tables outside. Inside seating is hard to come by tho since students laptop camp. Restroom available. Overall, we really enjoyed our lattes and the genuine service was just the cherry on top. Gen Z stare where?

Saw this place on TikTok the other day and randomly remembered while driving thru Oakland so I stopped by and I'm definitely glad I did. I wanted a strawberry matcha, but they don't sell that here. Instead the barista offered to make their spring 2026 special (iced sakura matcha midspanner latte) if I could wait a couple minutes, so I did and it was definitely worth the wait. The honey at the bottom really complimented the rest of the matcha and the matcha taste wasn't too strong either. It was the perfect blend of sweet and matcha. Definitely one of the better matchas I've had around the bay

Iced Vanilla Latte for here
Johnny L.

Mind Coffee's drinks are good and I love how aesthetic the inside of their store is. I've gotten their vanilla lattes, this is totally a coffee shop you could work out of. The service is also good. It's just a little pricy

Interior
Ashley Z.

All the drinks we got were superb! I was really impressed by the orange blossom latte and it stood out. The Ferrero Rocher latte tasted like the chocolate and the sakura matcha was smooth. Presentation of the drinks and the restaurant were beyond exceptional. Came here on an early Saturday morning and I can see this place getting busy on a school day.

Einspanner matcha latte
Emma N.

I got the einspanner matcha latte, which was really good. The cream was really tasty with a slight vanilla flavor. It was also a good thick texture. The matcha flavor was really earthy and strong. My drink took about 10 minutes, and there's not a lot of seating. The interior is very cute, clean, and modern.

Orange blossom matcha sparkler
Alex M.

Mind Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops in Berkeley - it's easy to miss unless you know where 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.

Abi H.

I was absolutely stunned when I first walked in. Mind Coffee feels like you're immersing in an art gallery, 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!

Amazing, and I wish we had one of these shops back home in San Diego. I love the vast selection of…read moredrinks, including a seasonal menu with inspiration drawn from Palestine. We tried several of the specialty lattes and were into them all. Particularly memorable to me was the Jaffa Orange latte. I had to order a pourover here and loved the experience. The barista was very precise in brewing and explained a bit about the coffee before serving it to me in an elegant glass. I got the pink bourbon from Palestina, Colombia that had notes of pink lemonade and rhubarb. It was well brewed and tasty but my sense is that the beans for pourover could be roasted lighter to get more of the fruit flavor out. I was really looking for a juicier pourover and feel like they have the right bean and the right brewers, just need to roast the coffee a little differently. It's a bit nitpicky though, because honestly, it was the best pourover "experience" I've had in the Bay Area, by far. I think this is also one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've visited. The art is very thoughtful, and the shop is clean and organized. It feels cozy. I can't wait to come back here.

The menu is pretty extensive, and everything sounded so delicious. We settled on the "Blackberries in Napa" summer mocktail, which they were able to make with oat milk (although whipped cream was still made with regular). It was the perfect cold beverage for a hot day in Berkeley. Right mix of bitterness from the espresso, creaminess from the blackberry whip, sweetness (and the slightest pinch of earthiness) from the blackberry-sumac jam at the bottom, and refreshing from the mint leaf at the top. The dried black mulberries were a nice touch also. Would love to come back and try everything else and support this Palestinian-owned business more often!

Worth waiting in that line? For me personally, no, but it was a well made latte and quite smooth. Was it the best latte I have ever had? No but it was a good one and I think it would be easier to discern the true quality with a straight espresso shot or even a cappuccino. I like my lattes to have a little more character from the beans but well made. My favorite thing about it was actually the temperature. It wasn't crazy hot so you could actually enjoy it instantly. Some may want it hotter but for me it was ideal. They do have seasonal drinks including a pumpkin spice latte for fall and solid selection of non coffee drinks. The almond croissant I had (not baked by them I don't think) was good but a bit too crispy and over baked . I think I have been spoilt by the very excellent croissants of San Francisco and have yet to find an amazing one in the East Bay but it was clearly made with good butter and lots of almonds. Plenty of seating although every inside table was taken by people; some outside tables were open. They also have a solid selection of local beans for sale. Overall, a solid shop but don't come if you're in a hurry.

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.

That, however, shouldn't detract from the personalized experience you'd likely receive with how small the coffee bar is. If you're expecting something more permanent this coffee shop is more like a temporary coffee cart that has roots in the back corner of this gift shop On the whole this place despite the hidden location has folks very much eager to bring specialty coffee to anybody interested. They have a large selection of relatively high end coffee in the likes of Geisha from Panama and Ethiopian coffees. Additionally, they're the only place I've ever seen across the US that is showcasing any coffee grown in China which is nice to see as that allows more exploration into how the terroir affects the taste of coffee For my first time here I came with a small group of coffee enthusiasts so we tried a selection of their Alo Main Station (notes of Sweet Orange, Bergamont, and Peach Oolong Tea), Finca Santa Maria (notes of Cherry, Mango, and Berry Jam), and Lerida Loma Washed (notes of White Floral, Mandarin Orange, and Longan) Each cup was uniquely different from each other but arguably the most enjoyed was their cheapest option in the Alo Main Station at $9. Each cup seemed completely different and may seem pretentious to say but they did have sweeter notes that you'd be very unlikely to taste from your well known coffee chains. This place definitely caters to the coffee enthusiasts in a way where even my group wasn't quite near the level of but it had a great atmosphere, nice outdoor seating, and staff who were very passionate about their craft If anything, I would probably come back as they do elevate coffee for those who are unaware of coffee coming from China but that coffee doesn't need to taste bitter, burnt, or chocolatey. The cups here were more like tasting a mellowed fruit juice but it just happens to be coffee. That said, unless you are eager to try specialty coffee this place may seem overpriced as their pour overs are between $9 - $25 which heavily differs from most other coffee shops. Having Masterpiece provide a glimpse of the specialty coffee scene within the Bay Area is still a welcome blessing as it has a similar vibe to specialty coffee shops you'd experience in Asia
