Amazing coffee! Give Bianca Mocha a try if you around.

Walk by it everyday, and the outdoor area is number one! Very very quiet corner by comparison, trees, clean, everything you could want menu-wise. But I don't have time to sit around in public, and the beautiful women make it impossible to concentrate anyways.

Great place with friendly service. I had a matcha latte (very good) and a baguette.m (fabulous). They warmed it up and nicely re-wrapped it so it was nice and toasty to enjoy later.

Strada has a lovely and lively patio that is iconic for good reason, but their coffee is often nothing more than the price of admission to that space. I've had good coffee here, but it's inconsistent, never particularly great, and it can hit some pretty low lows. You should absolutely come here, it's a campus landmark! Just consider their non-coffee selection :)

Great location and great coffee. Perfect for a leisurely morning

⚠️ Considerations Only Halal food is (chicken Panini)
📌Seating: While there are numerous tables, especially outdoors, it can get crowded during peak hours, particularly when classes are in session. Finding a seat may require some patience.
📌Power Outlets: Some visitors have noted that while there are outlets available, they can be limited, especially during busy times. It's advisable to bring a portable charger if you plan to work for extended periods.
💐Otherwise Great coffee spot near UC Berkeley with a chill vibe.
Delicious espresso drinks — the Iced Strada Bianca Mocha is a must-try
Cozy indoor seating with large windows + charming outdoor patio with string lights
Perfect for studying, casual hangouts, or people-watching
Can get busy during peak hours, so seating might be limited
Friendly staff and relaxed, community-focused atmosphere

Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only.
I so appreciate your attention to detail when it comes to how folks here can use reusable mugs, and also limit their impact on the environment via plastic pollution.
The real silverware, the real glassware, the real mugs, the real spoon for the bowl of sugar, and the recycled napkins are an excellent touch!
That said, I was a bit disheartened to see how many people were enjoying their coffee to stay, but in to go cups. I understand that these to go cups might be compostable. But a quick glance into the recycling and trash bins shows that there is no delineation between the two. I wonder if there are ways that the barista can work clearly articulate the for-here option, by asking if people are staying to work or meet a friend.
I was also a bit disheartened to see the sale of plastic bottled water here. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we try to recycle does not actually get recycled. But rather ends up in landfills, oceans, or burned in incinerators.
By now, there are tons of options for at least better water. Maybe aluminum canned?
Thank you for considering my feedback. All in all, I was impressed by your Sustainable offerings. Just would love to see some better communication to folks dining in, who would be able to skip the trash made entirely. Thanks again! Lovely courtyard too.
This place is okay, but the washroom situation is bad. There's only one serving the whole establishment and it stinks to high heavens!
Saw some fruit flies in their bakery window too. Not worth revisiting, there are other better cafes imo.

Nothing too special about the food/drinks here I'd say. I just get hot chocolate and that's it. Honestly, it's just funny to call it Cafe Strava 🤣

Coffee is just okay, there’s never any outdoor seating or parking but it’s in a very cute area of Berkeley!
