Mediocre coffee, staff clearly does not want to be here, dirty tables, crowded, loud. Overrated study spot.

Caffe Strada has become my go-to for their convenient location across the street from campus - they offer solid espresso beverages and a cozy atmosphere. Usually I grab a coffee before class, but the other day, I tried one of their sandwiches when I was near campus one evening. I ordered the chicken balsamic sandwich, which contains grilled chicken, goat cheese, roasted peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Served warm, the hearty chicken sandwich hit the spot on a cold, rainy day. At nearly $11, this seemed expensive given the small portion size of the sandwich; however, these sandwiches were definitely more upscale than other offerings near campus. Caffe Strada has limited indoor seating, but there is plenty covered outdoor seating with heating lamps along the deck.

outdoor seating is top tier & most of the drinks are pretty good. the matcha gelido was a bit disappointing though—the bottom third was just unflavored shaved ice :,)

Atmosphere: fantastic. Staff: friendly. Quality: nonexistent. Ordered two lates. Were handed ice waters essentially. Our drinks were just briefly introduced to coffee beans!

Great cafe to study/work in. But also a lovely place to grab coffee and catch up with your friends. Indoor seating is pretty limited but outdoor seating is amazing with variety of options: bench, plastic chair, under shelter, open space. Totally recommend!
An easy stop for Cal students & employees. However, the food is mediocre and the coffee is pretty watered down. Wouldn't recommend. The biggest upside is the location and seating. Be careful about laptops and backpacks being out** It's not uncommon for thefts to happen around here either

Vanilla latte is one of the best I’ve ever had. Cookies and croissants are fantastic too.

Average coffee. Used to be much better when this place was Cafe Roma. However, the location is the thing!
