Beautifully sophisticated and organic food presented simply. Delicious wines and food in a very relaxing atmosphere

I go for the coffee, and generally get tempted to get a sandwich or pastry. The ingredients are excellent quality, which makes their food

I had a terrible experience there today. I was in line with my daughter next to a woman who had an issue with how close I was standing next to her. This woman was combative and angry. We had an exchange. But then the cashier offered her advice to me- in a very rude tone, like I was in the wrong. And when I reported her to the barista, she rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders. Even my 13 year old commented how rude the staff was. These cool hipsters are not interested in delighting customers. They are distracted and annoyed. What a shame. It's an aesthetically beautiful shop, if only the employees cared about service. I will never go back.

This review is for the dinner service, which is lovely, full of charm, and has a serious appreciation for food as art. Each dish was incredibly flavorful, curated, and came with fresh ingredients. Overall, the dishes had quality ingredients that were thoughtfully put together, and well worth the value. The vibe and ambiance was fit for both a playful date and an evening with friends. The person behind the counter was also very kind and took his time to suggest wine pairings and dishes. So grateful for this place -- it definitely is a spot for good dining in Berkeley.

A very cramped space with overpriced offerings, and it's so close to better cafes and bakeries.

So much rush at 9:30AM on a Sunday. The vibes are really nice and the coffee was delicious. Wish they had more baked good like croissants.

Lovely food. The anchovy egg is a must try. Their bread is also super nice (it’s from acme). The homemade jam is amazing.

Great coffee and breakfast choices--simple but satisfying. The interior design is very nice. It is basically all you could want for a morning cup of nourishment.

Great service. Excellent coffee and house made pastries. Can get noisy when crowded.

Tasty latte and friendly staff! I didn't try any food, but the coffee was good, fairly quick, and everyone seemed really happy to be working there

Delicious food and coffee, warm and welcoming environment. The decor is also very cute and their politics are on point
