    There was an odd burnt taste to the &4.55 Cafe au Lait I bought here (Photo 7). I've usually had good experiences with Lavazza, the Italian brand of beans they use here, so I was disappointed that even the steamed milk couldn't counterbalance the flavor. Otherwise this was a typical off-campus study spot for undergrads who obviously haven't developed discriminating palates. There was no seat to be had for this aged alumnus. Go Bears? COFFEE - 2 stars...strange burnt taste AMBIANCE - 2 stars...more a study hall for undergrads SERVICE - 1.5 stars...barista training needed TOTAL - 2 stars...probably not for me RELATED - Exploring Berkeley? Here's my collection of places l've patronized and reviewed: https://yelp.to/EMn0edkm0I

    It was a pleasure coming here, the tiramisu latte was great and the costumer service was great and they were so kind. I would recommend anyone to come here!

    Stopped in for a chai tea latte and a quick little dinner while doing errands nearby. The dining area is cafe chic with neutral colored walls, posters, and modern lighting that also creates a welcoming, cozy cafe feel. The menu is large enough to come back again to try something new, offering both sweet and savory options. The staff member who helped me was friendly and helpful in my decision on which food choice to choose. The spinach, kale, cheese filled croissant was very filling and tasty. It was large enough to tide me over for a longer drive ahead. The chai tea latte was a good balance of sweet and spicy. This cafe is a good spot to stop by when in the neighborhood and wanting a treat and hot beverage.

    Latte, mocha, and a tiramisu

    Brief Summary: - Kiosk payment style has an interesting UX - Lots of seating places inside - Felt like the additional options I requested in the kiosk were ignored - Coffee is not sour We visited here on a chilly spring after eating lunch near the university. I was pretty surprised on the interior because it was larger once inside. The wall stretches out with bar tables and chairs, and there were multiple tables of 3-4 people can sit in the other spaces of the cafe. It was a busier time of day because there were students sitting in and studying while having a cup of coffee. We ordered via the kiosk and the style was unique. All of the drinks start off as $0.00. Then as you customize the order the cup's size determines the base price. I ordered two drinks, a latte and a mocha and a tiramisu. The latte I kept things simple, but for the mocha we decided to include additional creams with a special lavender flavor. The staff notified me that the drinks are coming after handing me the tiramisu. The cake itself was soft, but not heavily drenched with coffee that I had hoped. The lady finger cookie was still dry on some parts. The drinks arrived at the same time, so I went to pick it up. Upon a quick glance I could not tell which one was which, so I asked that staff which one was the mocha. Suddenly, there was a flash of looks between the three as they reviewed the receipt. It seems that they have made 2 lattes. The drink was not remade, rather they squeezed in the chocolate syrup and mixed it in. I forgot to ask about the special cream, assuming already that the drink did not contain this either. After taking the drink and tried it, the relative told me they did not taste the lavender. Not complaining too much, but I have added this into the drink, so it is an additional cost. I was on a fence on still putting this on 4 stars because the latte was great. It wasn't sour and at perfect temperature. I came here for coffee and the cafe delivered what I wanted. There were plenty of seats so we were able to sit down, relax our feet, and enjoy a sip. However, if it is the case that I can only enjoy a latte and the other drink and cake options are not up to standards, then it felt appropriate for me to keep it at 3 stars.

    Having gone to this place twice already, this store has me already questioning the existence of why it was even there to begin with in the first place. It's really hard to find parking, and even if you're lucky, this trip may not even be worth taking public transit or driving to at all. The interior of the shop looks modern, chic, and well organized. However, one can only imagine the environment and its tables -- when I arrived and took a seat, some of the seats were dirty, and some of the tables were not even sanitized. The atmosphere of the shop seemed dead, because despite people studying, the music was too loud, and I could barely hear myself speaking, even while ordering my drinks. I ordered a Passion Me cold brew, and to be honest with you, I tossed that as soon as I walked out the door. They have the weirdest drink options, and honestly passionfruit with cold brew does not sound fitting. The drink had too much passionfruit purée, and there was too less cold brew to even begin with. In addition, their drinks are insanely expensive, which one can expect because it's right next to the UC Berkeley campus. After this experience, I don't think I will be coming back to this establishment again. Their service is really poor, and the person that runs the cashier and register and coffee machine just sits there waiting for our guests to come by.

    We ordered a chai latte and a peppermint tea early morning. The vibes upon walking in around 8:40 am on a Monday were eerie. There was a broken window inside. Service wasn't anything special guy had his wired earphones in and didn't really acknowledge us but wasn't overtly rude just seemed like he was sleepy. The chai was really watered down and so was my tea usually there's 2 tea bags but it was just one so my tea was really watered down as well. Wasn't horrible, it's cute inside with some electrical cords for studying but mostly high top chairs which is uncomfortable for studying personally but just came for a quick tea

    Location and decoration make me give it 2 stars instead of one. I ordered a berry smoothie that looked nothing like the picture (it was purple instead of blue, they didn't put whipped creme on top, and not jam/syrup on bottom). When they called my name I mentioned it to them and they told me that they were out of whipped creme. I told them then why did you ask my daughter if she wanted whipped creme on her drink (she had declined). He just they ran out after I ordered. I told him, even without the whipped creme it looks nothing like it. He said that's how they make it. He ended up remaking it for me, which he added way to much syrup so it wasn't good at all as the overly sugary syrup and too much amount of it made it unpleasant. My daughter says her dei k wasn't that good either

    Appreciate the customer service people working there are very friendly and niceCame in for a matcha, they recommended me a banana matcha was 10/10 and had a Spinach cheese croissant as well and man was that so good. Definitely coming back for another visit.

    Amazing choice of cakes i grabbed a biscoff cheescake and a spinach and cheese croissant and bith was readdy tastey. Frineldy staff and nice space to get some work done.

    I can tell this cafe is about to be the new it place on Telegraph! The interior is aesthetic, and they have a huge menu with Italian specials. They're not technically open yet, but they're holding a promotional event, so I highly recommend checking it out. I ordered an iced latte with almond milk, and the espresso was incredibly smooth. Service is Starbucks-style.

    Italian strawberry frappe

    Was walking by and wanted something cold. The barista was nice and helpful and recommended me a strawberry frappe. The place is nice and bright and I enjoyed my drink. Thank you. And will be back to try other items on menu.

    Came here again last night, amazing Adani chai for a reasonable price. Again, friendly service and very quick!! 10/10

The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.
