Great spot to hang out a while outside (even in a drizzle) with reasonably priced drip coffee. Bike parking across the street. Also has wifi so you can get some work done

Great outdoor seating under mature tree cover. Lovely staff, mostly. Food ok. Coffee is terrible. Indoors seating and atmosphere is iffy.Avoid Friday lunchtime. Taken over by lovely hoards of school kids. They need all the space. Or you can sit and watch with hearing aid turned down.There's lots of older people groups other times: cyclists, gossipers, soccer players and an irritating musical couple.Can't figure out if dogs are allowed outside or not. There's lots of "no-dog" signs and lots of dogs. Don't bother asking the staff, they don't know either.Best part is hopping over to Monterey Market afterwards.Oh, and careful walking around the African crafts on the sidewalk. Got shouted at when my dog got too close.

Only been here once, but was nice. Tasty ham pesto panini for $12, which came with a surprise side, a good green salad -- no iceberg lettuce! They also offer a generous cup of soft-serve ice cream for $2.

Coffee tasted like tap water, kitchen area was so messy, gross and disorganized looking, I was hungry but didn't order food because of the general appearance. The 4 star reviews are baffling. There are so many good coffee places in Berkeley this place is really doing their amazing location a disservice.
The good thing about this place is that the prices are reasonable and there a tons of options to choose from. There's also lots of room to sit and it's in a decent location. The food is mediocre and the pastries were a bit doughy. Otherwise, if you're looking for a budget friendly spot that is just okay, then you'll enjoy this place. It's also a good spot to sit and catch up with folks you haven't seen in awhile. We ordered omelets and sandwiches and they were nothing special. They also don't customize them so whatever is on the menu is what you're getting. Like I said, it's nothing special and no frills.

We live in the neighborhood and always see this cafe packed on the weekends. I finally stopped by for coffee with a friend today. I got an iced tea, which was perfectly fine. But the reason I'm giving this place two stars-- and the reason I probably won't be back-- is that I bought an egg and cheese burrito and there was eggshell in it. I got a crunchy bit of eggshell when I started eating, figured it was a fluke, then got another bigger one towards the end. It was unpleasant and the burrito was unremarkable even minus the eggshell bits. I probably won't go here again. It's a shame, because it's a cute spot and a convenient location within walking distance of our house.
