Used to come here all the time for lunch back when I was a student. The sandwiches here are an affordable and tasty way to fill you up until dinner time. The convenient location is a huge plus, right next to campus and many apartment complexes in the area.

The seal rock bagel here is so good! My friend introduced it to me and I've been getting that for the past few years along with trying out different smoothies. I really love the berry smoothies and the pina colada one is just delicious! I've never been disappointed with the food here and it's just consistently solid. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick. Definitely worth trying this place out!

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Hummingbird Cafe! I love this cafe - I used to buy lunch multiple times a week here when I was a student. They make the best smoothies and fresh juices. My favorite juice is the orange grapefruit juice. They freshly squeeze it and it is always so refreshing! My go to sandwich is the turkey avocado on Dutch crunch. I love that they have the Dutch crunch option and honestly, all of the sandwiches I've have here were delicious. The owner is also very nice and friendly each time I stop in. They used to have another location across the street, which is now closed, so I highly recommend stopping in anytime you're in north side!

[CLOSED?] Favorite smoothies in Berkeley, but I went by twice this week during business hours and they were closed both times. Went by today and saw a garbage bin blocking the front door. Is Hummingbird Cafe closed? I'd be very sad if it was :,(

By far the prettiest and tastiest smoothie I've had! All the smoothies sounded yummy (and I'm extremely indecisive) but the staff were so helpful in helping me choose what to get. I got the Bingo Flamingo which is made with different berries and topped with a scoop of sherbet. It's got perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. SO GOOD. I plan on visiting every week when I'm in the area and am going to try every smoothie on the menu :)) The overall ambiance inside is very inviting, like that of a mom and pop shop. They display all of their foods for you to see, including bakes goods and a salads. I've heard the sandwiches are good here too! Definitely worth paying a visit.

The eggplant pesto and vegetarian delight sandwich are amazing! Lots of vegetarian options and really good smoothies.

So so happy I found this gem on the north side of campus. It's got: - classic sandwich menu - friendly staff - affordable prices (easy on my student budget) - good variety of bread (including sourdough and dutch crunch) I've been partial so far to the egg salad sandwich with everything on it, plus a side of pasta salad. They also often hand out samples of smoothies they make. Plus they have copies of the Daily Cal in the store. This is my new campus lunch hideaway.
Hummingbird Cafe is a small deli located on a street with many restaurants and stores. The interior is small but inviting! A bar along one wall has some high chairs for customers to sit at. The people who work here are extremely personable! Customers order at the counter and are able to see a variety of pastas and salads displayed behind a glass. A large chalkboard menu on the wall shows options for sandwiches and drinks. I usually come here for the smoothies or juices, but I definitely want to try their sandwiches at some point! [ Apple Carrot Juice ] I watched as they put the carrots and apples into the juicer and was shocked by how many carrots went into the juice! If I wasn't mistaken, I think 3-4 whole carrots were fed into the juicer. The fresh apples and carrots give a natural sweetness to the juice. The carrots definitely had a stronger presence but the apples added a nice, tart taste to the juice. Definitely coming back to try more of the smoothies and juices!

sandwiches good, smoothies stellar. convenient location on north side to grab lunch, smoothies freshly made and tasty. only downside is that it's a little cramped to eat in there.

Awesome smoothies! Great service! Yum. I got a Maui dream smoothie and the prices are reasonable. I plan on returning!
Christine C.
The maui dream is sooo good. It's definitely tart but that's how I like it. Sandwiches are also super inexpensive and good!!

Awesome smoothies for a great price. I love their Maui dream and flamingo smoothie. The drinks are fresh and I like them way more than other local cafes. The price is fair and the size is very generous. I also love their turkey avo sandwich! Will come back here for more!
