Food is great, wait is long and the service is terrible. Everyone who works there is frowning and looks miserable. I got an iced mocha that just had scoops of chocolate powder dumped on top of the ice, didn’t even bother to stir it and when I asked for a remake I got attitude about it. Then when my to go order came out the server tossed it at me as she walked past with no semblance of basic politeness.
I’m not interested in going back just to be treated so poorly....

a lot of places serve great coffee, but there really is something especially good about the coffee here. The espresso is a bit better than other places I’ve tried while visiting Berkeley. All the employees have been very warm and friendly, and the food and pastries were yummy as well! Such a cute neighborhood spot. Highly recommend.

I love this place and frequent several times a week. They have great food and drinks and the staff is very friendly. I wish they would invest in a second register and encourage customers to have their orders ready by the time they reach the register. The line for this place moves incredibly slow. Often I want only a coffee and will be waiting in line for over 10 minutes.
