Always some kind of issue ordering, never got coffee out of it

I got the latte with Almond milk. The latte tasted great and it was really easy to pickup and go. I really like the convenience of the location and the ease of use of their kiosk. I will definitely be back.

Best fast breakfast sandwich and coffee I've ever had! The Works sandwich was incredible, and they clearly were thoughtful in selecting great coffee. Easy to use mobile ordering and instructions. Will go back every time I'm in the area.

If you want a fast, convenient, and delicious meal with friendly service, look no further than the Bbox Cafe!! I tried three different breakfast sandwiches: the Bbox, a classic breakfast sandwich with jam, the Forager, a tasty vegetarian option, and my favorite, the Spinach and Feta which came on a gluten free corn bun that was amazing. It took less than a minute to order through the app and there was a very nice employee ready to help if it was needed. Shortly after ordering, the sandwiches were ready, as well as a cup of Hotwire coffee (local and delicious). Overall a great experience. This will be a regular breakfast spot for me. Highly recommended!! Thank you Bbox Cafe

Bbox Cafe is in the lobby of 2121 Berkeley Way. was curious to get a robotic made cup of coffee. sad to say, it's closed for the summer. scheduled to re open later in the year.

Want a taste of the future? Then take a short walk over from campus to BBox, where you can watch giant robots prepare your coffee!!! And you can pick up flaky pastries to go with. The food and coffee are absolutely delicious. The coffee is from Oakland's own Highwire coffee and the pastries are from Semifreddis (the almond croissant is incredible). And everything is ready sooooo quickly. And the kicker: they're all the best prices in the neighborhood.

Bbox Cafe is located at UC Berkeley School of Public Health mid lobby area just pass the security desk. It's not your typical coffee shop just a mobile cart with a person to take your payment (cashless system). Behind cart is where you'll see the one arm robotic mechanism gliding on rail left to right making drinks. The drill is to place order with cashier use your cc/debit card and phone number. Once transaction is confirmed you'll get confirmation text code and all you've to do is punch in code and wait for chute to spin around dispense your drink. Not everything is about hot/cold drinks here. There are morning pastries sold as well only small selection though. I end up giving it try got a latte while waiting inside for my neighbor away from rain. And you know what? It's as good as human barista would've done it and you won't know the difference. Great coffee with wonderful service. #cashlesspayment #roboticmechanism #choiceofmilkincludingalmond #indoormobilecart #localdeliveryofpastries #openweekdaysonly

Was super skeptical of the “robotic cafe†pitch, but was actually really impressed with how fast and reasonably priced it was. Plus, the coffee and pastry (and tea too) were amazingly delicious. Would 100% go back (have already gone multiple times actually...)

Tried out Bbox for the first time and I was not disappointed! I ordered a latte and enjoyed watching the robots quickly put my order together. I also saw upon arrival that they're trying out a new iced chai with oat milk, which I also tried, and it was absolutely delicious - perhaps my new favorite chai within walking distance of campus! The menu is straightforward, the process simple, the prices much lower than the competition, and the extras (sweetener, etc. to adjust your coffee or tea) plentiful. Next time, I'd likely order ahead, but it was definitely worth it to see the robot in action. Bbox is a great addition to the neighborhood!

Delicious coffee and espresso. The morning bun is low-key great.

Surprised they didn't offer a capuccino but I ordered an almond latte and it was really good. Plus the Barista was really cute. I wanted to ask her out but wasn't sure if she spoke English.

I've been back several times now that the robot is up and running, and everything has been great! The latte milk has gotten hotter. One of their customer reps talked to me about it, they got a lot of feedback from customers requesting hotter milk, so they adjusted the temperature so that it would be hotter, but without burning the milk. The espresso used is super smooth and light tasting, which I love. If you like a bitter espresso and burnt milk, then don't come here! :-P Moral of the story: Bbox listens to their customers and is willing to make changes. This is the reason why I upped their star rating to 5 stars. Plus the convenience of ordering ahead can't be beat when I'm running late and need coffee on the go.

Wow how fabulous!! My coffee was delish and right in time and I'm really particular about coffee! And how sweet the robot is! Does he or she have a name? I could watch all day!
