Walked in on an empty day, the lady working there kept her gaze on me the whole time, and told me I couldn’t sit down if I didn’t buy anything, as I was checking the menu, she proceeded to stare and “fix” everything I touched, she said “what are you doing” everytime I touched a menu… I proceeded to leave as it was an uncomfortable, and profiling experience (mind you, I walked in with books as I’m a student just looking to study)

Stopped by this café in Berkeley and loved it. The place has a warm, relaxed vibe with just the right amount of buzz from people studying and chatting. The coffee was excellent—smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. I tried their cappuccino and it was perfectly balanced. The staff were friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do, which adds to the atmosphere. There’s plenty of seating, good Wi-Fi, and a nice mix of indoor and outdoor spots. Great place to work for a few hours or just hang out and unwind. Definitely coming back.

No bathroom available for clients apparently, got asked to leave one hour before declared closing time. Was empty when we went in at 4:30…probably for a reason
Robert Nebolon Architects
The interior design is terrific with the velvet rope curtain, the huge orange arch and the colorful mural. The food is also very good and they serve the best lattes
Parking: A huge red parking structure is a 5 minute walk away and on the same block
Wheelchair accessibility: Completely wheelchair accessible...not steps. everything is flat.
The staff are so wonderful and the cafe is so cozy. Definitely making this a regular spot!

Hidden gem. Good coffee, espresso, sandwiches, etc.

Walk half a block from the busiest street in Berkeley and down a flight a stairs, and you find a lovely setting: the Jazz Caffe. Although the menu is limited, the lunch specials are always enjoyable, tasty, and hearty servings. It's easy to sit and linger there while you chat because the nearby hustle and bustle doesn't penetrate this place.
Food and Service always Amazing, Barristas on point. One of downtown Berkeley's Hidden Gems. Try the stews , Vegan soups , unique Salads and Paninis. Next door to Berkeley rep grab a light dinner before a show or lunch daily
Kaite Al
Good food
Dominik Suter
Stopped for lunch and tried the daily special Panini: Applewood smoked bacon. The sandwich was good. Side salad was missing sauce (vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper fixed that). AC / not working - there was no fixing that :-)
David Parks
I had the best ever Turkey sandwich. All if the trimmings were fresh: the lettuce, the cucumbers, the tomatoes. There was some sauce on the panini that opened your nostrils. Perhaps horseradish or some type or gourmet mustard. Whatever.... very yummy.

Great place to grab a coffee, tea, pastries, sandwiches, etc while listening to Jazz at the Jazz Conservatory
