A substantial breakfast and lunch menu for a cafe ranging from breakfast entrees to sandwiches to bowls all decently priced. There were some really interesting combinations but we weren't adventurous and ordered the Homestyle Breakfast and Açaí bowl with a side of Golden Potato and Bacon. Eggs were prepared correctly as over medium, the potatoes were golden and crispy and the açaí bowl fresh. We tried the Merguez (North African sausage) which was very flavorful and smoky. Definitely would stop by here again! Also minimal wait time as most customers aren't lingering.

The service was super solid, the staff was friendly and kept the line moving fast, which I definitely appreciated. Plus, they have a whole setup with rice and paper straws, which is a nice touch. I grabbed an Iced Honey Oat Milk Latte, and it was honestly great. The espresso was smooth and the oat milk made it really creamy. For most people, this is a 5/5 drink, but I'm giving it a 4/5 just because I love sugar and wished I could've added more honey to make it extra sweet. If you like a more balanced drink though, you'll love it. They also have Boichik Bagels and Starter Bakery stuff in the case, so it's a perfect place to grab a snack too. Definitely worth a stop if you're on campus!

Everything is made to order and always fresh. I am just so thankful that he is here my first choice over the hospital cafeteria food.

Hi, I love Caffe…read moreStrada and I've been coming here for thirty years. It's a good place. There are just a few things that prevent me from giving the cafe five stars. - Their single bathroom is an abomination and it is disgusting. There is no excuse for this. They have plenty of money, and plenty of business. There is no excuse for them being so cheap - fix the bathroom.. The single bathroom should be overhauled and rebuilt, I don't know how they pass the City of Berkeley health code with this bathroom? Is someone in the City of Berkeley on the take? It must be the case. - There should also be a second bathroom, not an out of order sign for ten years on the second bathroom door. - They should pay and clean the bathroom more frequently. This should be City of Berkeley code. This is ridiculous and absurd. It's a health hazard. - The internet connection is too slow for such a place. They should upgrade the internet connection. Thanks,

UNDERGRADUATE COFFEE…read more I know. When I was a student at California during the late 1990s there were numerous coffeehouses near the campus. One of those coffeehouses as was Café Berlin, which used to be located on Durant. Café Berlin no longer exists. The other coffeeshop I used to drink regularly when I was a student was Caffe Strada. This coffeehouse isn't a place to drink your coffee in peace. Caffe Strada has an energy amongst its customers because it located across from the campus. When I first went to Cafe Strada the first drink I ordered was a strada bianca mocha. The drink had a touch of sweetness yet there was a strong coffee taste. The other drink Caffe Strada is known for is bianca mocha, which does not have coffee. Since I've been going to Cafe Strada the drink i order the most is strada bianca mocha. Apparently Cafe Strada claims to be the first coffeehouse to invite the white hot chocolate drink. I've drank a lot of white hot mochas at different coffee places. Actually white hot mocha is my favorite coffee drink because of the strada bianca mocha at Caffe Strada. Most white hot mocha I drink tend to be very sweet. The strada bianca mocha has a slight taste of expresso that distinguishes from other white hot chocolate drinks. When I visit my alma mater on a weekend I like to go to Caffe Strada to sip my strada bianca mocha.

The line was going out the door, so I immediately knew this was a popular spot! Fortunately, it moved surprisingly quickly. I ordered the rice bowl with lemon-herb rice and herbed grilled chicken souvlaki, with the cucumber-tomato salad and crumbled feta as my two toppings, finished with lemon tahini. After ordering, I was given a device that would alert me when my food was ready, and I didn't have to wait long before it buzzed. The bowl was delicious! Everything tasted fresh and made with high-quality ingredients. I also loved that the bowl came in a reusable container with compostable silverware. When I was finished, I simply dropped the container into one of the collection bins outside the cafe. Not only was the food fantastic, but I also felt great knowing that the cafe has made sustainability part of the dining experience without making it inconvenient. Great food, beautiful space, efficient service, and sustainable practices--Gateway Cafe is officially my new favorite place to eat on campus!

I dropped in on the weekend for a quick recharge and had to try one of their specialty matcha drinks. I ordered the matcha coconut cloud with mango and it was perfect.

Also, their backyard patio space is amazing! I have to come back one day to try their brunch menu.

There are two large restrooms and some seating out front on the curb as well. The food and drinks look nice, are plated well, and the baristas are very talented at latte art. However, the coffee was not great. I wanted to like it, but the espresso was very watery and almost imperceptible. I get that a cappuccino would be milky, but it just wasn't good. They get bagels from a local restaurant (Boichik Bagels), and it was fine. I honestly don't think it's worth the price though. I really wanted to like this place. It's very well designed and they have good branding, aside from the AI matcha sign, which looked pretty unappetizing. The workers are very efficient and nice, so I was hoping the food and drinks would match the quality. I think this is a good place to go and take pictures or for events, but if you're going for the food or coffee, there's much better cafes around.
