    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.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is very tiny inside so if you can't snag a table then you won't be able to hangout inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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 Mindspänner Matcha Latte ($7.50)

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks were ready in about 5 minutes (no line at the time). A M B I A N C E [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Restroom available. Overall, we really enjoyed our lattes and the genuine service was just the cherry on top. Gen Z stare where?

    The drinks here are quite pricey. I got the banana crème matcha latte, and it was yummy! It tastes just like every other banana matcha latte, so nothing really stood out to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store itself is very cozy and cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    I was absolutely stunned when I first walked in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mind Coffee feels like you're immersing in an art gallery, apple store, forest, and a craft shop all at once.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Matcha Latte & Earl Grey Matcha Eispanner
    Melody L.

    We were craving a matcha latte after lunch and found Mind Coffee near UC Berkeley. It is a cute little spot, and I really liked the whimsical ceiling design with its flowing, wave-like curves that give the space a calm and uplifting vibe. Ordering is done through a kiosk, which was easy to use, and the drinks came out quickly. We tried the matcha latte and the Earl Grey matcha eispanner, and both were great There is a mix of normal table seating and low, bean bag style seats for a more relaxed vibe. The staff were friendly and checked in to see if we needed help while using the kiosk. They serve both coffee and matcha drinks, and it is a great place to stop by if you are near UC Berkeley.

    Earl Grey Matcha Einspänner Latte and Iced Mindspänner
    Brian Bhatia

    Nice little coffee shop near campus with a calm, zen vibe. I ordered the Iced Mindspänner, and my wife had the Earl Grey Matcha Einspänner Latte. They offer non-dairy options and pastries from the local starter bakery, which is a nice touch. The space has a minimalist feel with floor seating and a few tables. The Earl Grey Matcha had the green matcha color but leaned more toward the Earl Grey flavor, still very good. The white cream was fresh, light, and delicious. Presentation was on point (you can see in my photos). Even though it was busy and the wait was about ten minutes, they clearly took their time to make sure everything looked great. Definitely worth checking out.

    Earl Grey Matcha Einspanner -- delicious creamy earl grey flavor mixed with matcha. Matcha and earl grey do not over power each other. The einspanner was nice, fluffy and made the drink more enjoyable. Matcha was not watered down, it was the right amount of matcha flavor and thickness! Iced Mindspanner Hojicha -- delicious roasted flavor. Einspanner adds so much creaminess and thickness to the drink. The hojicha did not taste clumpy, it was delicious! Drinks were quick to order, about 15 minutes or less. There are two options to order, through the cashier or the kiosk. Although they have an online menu, it's not as accurate it's better to order in person.

    Einspanner and Hojicha
    Loralyn N.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is such a cute little cafe my friend recommended.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered a hojicha latte and a hojicha einspanner. The server was very nice in giving us recommendations for us first timers. The sweetness levels for both were well done and the creaminess on top was really good. I thought the einspanner was a different experience generally as we typically just order traditional lattes, but the flavor was still really good. Didn't blow us away, but we'd be curious to try the seasonal ones next time and their traditional matcha latte.

    Steffanie T.

    Super cute cafe! I love that they hand whisk their matcha drinks fresh. I love a creamy drink so i'd definitely try the einspanner! I also loved their orange cardamom coffee. I usually don't love citrus in coffee, but this was so good! One star is lost because i hate the seating. It is really not comfortable and you just can't wear a dress or a skirt.

    Great morning!

    Great coffee, delicious pastries, and a cozy atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and everything was fresh. Definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy a quality coffee. Highly recommended!

    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.

Spacious, warm lighting, cute bathroom with a great mirror and cool sink.

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.
