Updated 12/2024: they use to have excellent coffee, but the quality has been really awful lately. It's bad enough that I no longer go despite proximity to campus.

I walked in, and was offered free food. I was so hungry and Mr. Ross came in clutch. He hooked me up with free coffee and croissants. I come here everyday and I never am disappointed.

The price is reasonable and it's a great place to feel the bright atmosphere of the campus.
The taste of the coffee was decent, but not enough to chase after the taste of coffee.
It was nice to have milk refills.

Kid-friendliness: Pleasant atmosphere to sit with elementary school children

Great coffee, pretty good cookie, and definitely a good place to get a quick something as a Cal student. Service was good too, and I'm definitely going back. (The drink I got still tasted good as the ice melted ?)

Drove here because of the ratings & popularity but it really doesn’t live up to the hype. The best part of this cafe is definitely location & the outdoor seating.
The WiFi was okay- kind of spotty. Fast at times and then would drop out.

Service was 50/50- in that the person taking my order was so incredibly standoffish. Perhaps some of the worst cafe service I’ve experienced. The tall front of house person with long brown-red hair and bangs. The most dry attitude, but perhaps they’re just having a bad day?
The other /50 was that the person who made my drink was kind and caring

But unfortunately the drink itself was so not right? A cortado is a 4oz drink, 2oz espresso 2oz milk. My drink nearly filled a 10oz cup. Very strange. Tasted fine but not quite a cortado.

Glad it’s got some good local regulars & I don’t feel too bad being honest, but genuinely wouldn’t recommend and I won’t be back.

Dietary restrictions: Non dairy options

Parking: Expect to pay $10 for 2 hours at a street parking spot. Can pay at meter or via app.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get in. Lots of accessible seating/tables
