Friendly service and nice background music for working. Watch out for peak study times during the academic year since it gets crazy crowded, but early mornings and in the summer it’s quite empty and calm!

Best coffee in Berkley. Such a great team! Real caring for the customers they went over and beyond for everyone of us.

One of my favorite places in Berkeley to work on my laptop. There’s this bristling, cerebral energy in the air and people stay for hours. It feels like a cafe, coworking space, and start-up launchpad all wrapped in one. I love the mix of students, artists, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.

love love love this place. used to study here all the time and appreciated that there was a good mix of students and locals alike. they always play good music (usually classical) and the vibes feel chill, casual, and local. service is fast, professional, and friendly. food gets the job done but is nothing to write home about. but i spend hours and hours here

The Mexican hot chocolate was authentic and tasted like an elevated version of my childhood hot chocolate. The maple scone was slightly moist and not too sweet which was a pleasant surprise. The vibe was intimate and calm, but also nice enough to study. Customer service was kind and to the point. Will be returning!
