Despite the mediocre reviews, I rather enjoyed this place. The ambiance is good and there's plenty of seating. I did find the coffee and food to be low quality, but it's also cheaper than competing craft coffee shops, so I think there's a value statement to be made here. If you're looking for 'ok' coffee at a more reasonable price, this is a good bet.
The location and ambience is pretty nice. The staff are also friendly enough, but I've been there a couple times now and the food really isn't amazing. I ordered a cold brew and they gave me a warm americano with ice in it. It tasted like water. I also asked them about the quality of their wifi outside. They assured me it was fine, but both my friend and I could barely use it because it was so slow.
I've been hanging out at Espresso Roma on sunny weekend days for the entire 21 years I've lived in Berkeley.
For years it was with my young kids, who appreciated the space to run around without molesting other guests, and now with my 50-something pickleball buddies after matches.
Gathering some friends for a drink around a shabby table under the dappled sunlight filtering through the spreading vine canopy is just the most pleasant...
