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

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.
Stephen Ballesteros
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.
Jocelyn Pou
Great place to grab a coffee, tea, pastries, sandwiches, etc while listening to Jazz at the Jazz Conservatory
Great service, cute spot, good coffee. They don't have live jazz performances in the cafe anymore, sadly, but it's still a nice place to relax and unwind. I know some people feel otherwise, but I personally love the "no laptops" policy; makes it feel like a real old-time neighborhood café. Will definitely come back.

No vegan options. Punishes customers with an extra fee for soy milk in their coffee, which is unfair and steers people away from more sustainable choices.

Food and drinks ok, but pretty basic. Service was a little ditzy - brought red wine when I asked for white, missed the fact that I ordered a Lagunitas, and when I repeated the request, didn't know what a Lagunitas was...
