Cafe Buenos Aires Berkeley

Great coffee - humble service!

Kid-friendliness: The place doesn’t mind having kids in pram/ stroller inside. However there’s also space to sit outdoors.

Stopped by this cafe as I was intrigued by their selection of empanadas. They all sounded SO tasty, but I opted to go for the beef empanada and the spinach/feta empanada. Both were really good but the spinach/feta was incredible — everything tasted so fresh, and love that this empanada had such a thin flaky crust with a nice bite to it on the edges. The dipping sauce was a nice touch and spiced it up which was very addicting. The cafe itself has plenty of space for seating and the service was nice and friendly. I definitely think this will be my new go to spot for empanadas… I got to try them all eventually!

It looks like a little hole in the wall. It is absolutely beyond that. The chicken in the empanadas is fully shredded, fresh and flavorful. Everything is made by hand to the highest quality. Of course the staff is friendly and good at their jobs. The muffin was wonderful.

It is a simple shop, and not highly decorated. But the food and the memories of Buenos Aires make it delightful and memorable. I keep going back.

I loved how many great vegetarian empanadas they had! I tried four different veggie options, and they were each so unique from each other but also so good!! To make everything better, they had super reasonably priced ice cream!!

Vegetarian options: My favorite was the Soyrizo which was completely vegan, but they had at least two vegan options and several more vegetarian options. I tried four different ones (not even all of them), splitting them with my sister, and they were all very unique and very yummy. We couldn't agree on which one was the best:)

Argentinain Empanadas not as good as the place in the ferry building SF and that's really all I have to go on. Staff was nice, next time I'll go to the Ferry building though.
