50 Best Coffee Roasters near Berkeley

“We discovered Uncommon Grounds at our favorite restaurant on our wedding anniversary many years ago and have been brewing their coffee beans ever since (perhaps 15 years?) and simply love the freshness, flavor and depth of their different coffees.Especially enamored by their decaf coffee as well. We get compliments from all of our guests, every time, without fail.:)“

“I usually swing in for a drip coffee, always greeted with a smile by the staff, and the overall atmosphere is chill and welcoming.
When the weekend comes, they always request Jaffa coffee, for a juice and pastry.
Really great spot to visit when in Berkeley.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a very chill vibe, and welcoming.“

“I order my Highwire Coffee online, being that I live in Nevada City. While I love my local Foxhound Coffee, I found that Highwire's 'Bauhaus' coffee is beyond exceptional and I have to have both Bauhaus and my local coffee in order to function properly!😍☕️“

“Special.
The coffee is chosen and roasted special, by a wonderful person, and served by wonderful people, in a wonderful space.
This is not your average cafe. This is beyond. And it is … wonderful.
… and, you can enjoy it, while knowing that you are supporting the better side of our world.“

“Fabulous assortment of specialty coffees and a delicious food menu. My favorite go-to is the quiche!“

“The atmosphere was quirky, comfortable, and sweet! My coffee and granola and yogurt were tasty. The coffee was on the acidic side for my taste. A few of the berries had molded so I asked for them to be removed and replaced… I feel like these things are pretty par for the course at local cafes though, and I value the experience overall far above the small details. Will definitely come back. ❤️“

“I live their expert roasts!“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Great coffee and elegant atmosphere. $195 for a manual Brewer? $85 for tin coffee pot? I think I'll pass.“

“Awesome place to shop! My “go to” produce market for incredibly fresh produce, fruits and dry goods. Great meat and fish market. Superb bakery. Excellent wine shop, And Market Hall pasta shop/main market is simply amazing in SO many ways. Plus, super easy parking and good hours ... important to me and a for real plus. Love this place!!!“

“By far the best coffee in my opinion. Not only do they have the best coffee, but their customer service is absolutely amazing. Olga and the entire team always make sure to treat every customer with nothing but respect and smiles. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is happy. Must try coffee.“

“the place is very nice plus the view across the street is like a gigantic mirror ! you should see it for yourself !!! it really is something to look at while having your coffee.... it is spectacular !!!! and of course, the staff were super sweet !“

“Good coffees, responsive customer service, reasonable prices compared to most online coffee sellers“

“This place is offensively good. I’m just gonna say it: that turkey sandwich is perfect. They use Jane the Baker for their loaf, it’s simple and delicious. Something I would never normally order is their Mediterranean bowl but that harissa though and the fried chickpeas and the feta with the tomatoes. Oh yeah, they roast their own coffee beans and make their own smoothies and have a wonderfully curated retail section. I sat there for lunch one day to work and in 45 minutes they had 3 rushes for food. I love the quality stays the same.“

“I like what they offer and they have good info on their products.“

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

“Just tasted their coffee for the first time, and WOW! Had their dark French roast at a restaurant. It was SO good that only had to add a little cream and sugar. I definitely recommend this coffee!!!“

“We’ve got two pour over - Ethiopia and Rwanda. Both had a slightly acidic taste and delicious! The pastry, cinnamon bun, was so good. Soft and not overly sweet. Very tasty. It felt like European-style bread. Despite only two seats available, we still enjoyed our coffee on site. Staff was very friendly.“

“Best coffee ☕️ and the best service“

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

“Best espresso of any of the highwire locations I have been too. It is a darker roast than I like, but they have a great recipe so it doesn't get sour or bitter. My only complaint, not enough seats, then again it is in a plant store, not a standalone shop, which leads to some amusing scenarios with entitled people like the scene I saw. So don't wonder far from the stand even if there is a line.

An upper middle class woman took a drink, sipped from it AND THEN ASKED "is this the oat latte for Sarah?" They called out the name of the drink and the person who it was for, CAPPUCCINO FOR JOYCE. Who takes a sip from a drink and then ask if it is yours. They did not apologize, making excuses, and saying oops is not an apology. This after having taken a sip from it. I would have charged her for it if I worked in that stand.
But the baristas there are super nice and friendly, even answering my questions about their espresso ratio etc. would“

“Best avocado toast evah! I love it“

“Temo's Cafe - the place, the people, where you find good coffee, a smile, understandig and, if needed, helping hand. Lamea is an angel...was our angel... long time ago. We never will forget you, Lamea, and your open heart... And your nice, lovely family ... A kiss and a hug from Petra and Anna“

“Great service Clean Food was amazing“

“Love everything there. My fave! ❤️“

“Espresso based drinks are always on point and delicious. Matcha is also delicious but maybe some baristas don’t know how to make it and sometimes you end up with a matcha drink made with non-sifted matcha so you get surprise matcha dust balls.“

“Costa Rican coffee can't be beat! This place is awesome. Be forewarned, they don't have "drip" ready to go. You can get an espresso drink, you can get cold brew (if you're in a rush) but it's best to allow a few minutes and let them do you a fresh, made to order pour over.
The coffee is superior and the guys behind the counter are very friendly and personable. If you like the idea of supporting a small business instead of a MegaCorp, give this place a try.“

“great tasting coffee with robust flavors, very satisfied, going to be a regular customer now that our search for a good coffee is over✌💖🙏✊“

“It’s is the best coffee spot in San Francisco overall the Bay Area it’s the highest quality coffee ever and they use no sugar and all ingredients are all organic. Me and all my brother love to go here for not only the great quality of food and coffee, but also a very aesthetically pleasing environment, and very calming and quiet.“

“Great selection very fast shipping secure packaging and nice people“

“I got a vanilla matcha, pretty tasty. Cafe opens up into an atrium which was a bright and quiet place to work, super perfect for what I needed. The wifi worked well (I didn't realize, but was still here after they closed and the wifi was working) and bathrooms were clean.“

“Great tasting coffee and vibes from this little coffee shop! The customer service is spectacular and there is a nice little seating area to stop and have a chat or work a bit. The food also looks great which I have yet to try but one day may grab a pastry. Highly recommend the burnt cinnamon latte or iced blackstrap latte. Delish!!“

“Smooth Coffee. Hung out and had coffee on a relaxing Sunday. I had an iced Americano and did some people watching outside. Easy, friendly experience. Not a far walk from Jack London - it's great to have local options as there are national chains nearby. Visited 7/2024.“

“can't believe I only found out about this place recently. nice staff, excellent coffee, makes a good combination.“

“Great pastries and coffee!“

“Cool little spot. There's not many tables but great place to get coffee to go.

Parking: Only seen meter parking

Kid-friendliness: They have a small table for kids to play with magnets 🧲

Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair definitely fits in this place.“

“Great pastries and coffee!“

“This is a beautifully designed Cafe that’s very welcoming! The Horchata latte and almond croissant that I had was absolutely delicious! Only reason why it’s a four-star is because their directional signs aren’t very clear and the bathroom smells really bad!“

“Spectacular coffee and breakfast spot. So good we ate here all 3 days we were in town. I wish we had something similar in Washington D.C. / Northern VA. The quiche had the most amazing texture - I tried two different ones. The side salad was vibrant and fresh and perfectly dressed. The breakfast sandwich was also good - I ordered it on a croissant and it was the biggest tastiest croissant. The coffees were great and so was the service. Can say enough good things!“

“Really good coffees and pastries. They need one more person at peak times. Glad it’s gotten popular w all the dog folks.“

“So I just recently tried the dark roast k cups by Peerless, if you enjoy strong tasting coffee then these k cups are for you. They are by far my new favorite k cup……. I highly recommend“

“I’m not a coffee maven, but the tea and sweets were excellent. (My friends who appreciate good coffee say that it’s excellent as well.) Good service, even in the face of an exacting clientele.“

“First let me say this place is great, they know their coffee and everything tasted perfect. The staff is attentive, great customer service and the hand painted coffee cups are very unique. Sitting on the second floor you can overlook the entirety of the cafe and watch the barista roasters having fun chatting while making coffee and the guests in their own leisurely state.“

“between the piedmont & downtown spots, there’s something for everyone. great baked goods, great coffee drinks, wraps, chocolates, bagels, bfast options, lunch, occasion cakes - legit, they have it all. it’s not cheap, but the rewards program is robust and you’ll save if you sign up for it. service is very good.“
