The healthy spot in Berkeley. Fairly priced.
Salad is very tasty. Soup du jour could have had more spice, my stomach is happy.

An excellent coffee shop and bakery/breakfast spot. The biscuits are the best I’ve had outside the state of Georgia. Bacon cooked to perfection. Coffee is great. Vibe is very Quaker in a way. Love it.
My absolute favorite coffee shop for the past 12 years. Delicious avocado toast, great drinks, unfortunately no WiFi but I just use a hotspot and it’s not a problem.

Baker & Commons offers exceptional food and baked goods, emphasizing quality and attention to detail. The sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwich is a popular choice, and the full breakfast with poached eggs, house-made sausage, and seasoned potatoes is also a hit. Guests have praised the Shakshuka for its great taste. The bakery provides a variety of seating options, both inside and outside, with friendly staff to bring orders to customers. The atmosphere is cozy, and it is not too noisy, making it a great spot to enjoy the tasty coffee served in real mugs, including delicious options like vanilla cold brew and oat milk lattes. The head baker, Megan, is gifted in her craft, and the coconut cream pie is a must-try, along with highlights like the chocolate pecan cookie and the cinnamon roll. Many visitors find the coffee especially good, with the espresso often rated better than other places in Berkeley. The staff are very warm and friendly, adding to the welcoming environment. While the cafe can get busy and lines may move slowly, it remains a beloved neighborhood spot. The pastries and desserts look quite appealing, and the avocado toast with garlic spread is highly recommended. Overall, Baker & Commons continues to be a favorite place for many, offering great food, drinks, and a cozy atmosphere on College Ave.
