Coffee is amazing so i’ll give them 5 stars but the pasta straw is so bad and split in half please get rid of them

This coffee shop is a hidden gem! The coffee was delicious and the vibe was great. They are located in the back part of a boutique store. They also have a patio on the side with plants, etc.

Best specialty coffee shop in the bay area, hands down. For pourover enthusiasts, it doesn't get any better.

Whether you're deep into pourover or need an alt-milk latte, these guys deliver in an uncompromising, intimate setting with a super focused menu. I think you gotta enjoy this now before they blow up and scale up.

They're rotating globally top-tier coffee brands like Tim Wendelboe and Big Sur, while also being a micro-roaster themselves with a specialization in Chinese origin coffee. The curation is second to none, everything is superb.

Pourover and espresso are all faultless. The gear on the bar is all unmatched and cutting-edge, think Dragonfly and Orea drippers and I've actually seen them brew with (not cheap at all) Sibarist Fast filters.

The cups are absolutely dialed in with hyper clarity. These are real-deal pourover gods. The milk drinks are so elegant that you can pick anything and be sure it'll be good.

I could go on and on... but will just say this is the finest specialty coffee experience in the bay right now. Oh, and they're super nice guys.

Please buy your beans from here. They are among the best I've ever had. And freshly roasted. Usually within a week of roasting

Masterpiece is easily the best destination for pour-overs in the Bay Area. The owners are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. They’re always happy to share and geek out over the tools (toys) and techniques with you. What sets them apart beyond their skill is their ability to source beans from world-class roasters you simply won’t find anywhere else in the area. Even if you’re there for the slow bar (or not), don't forget to try their seasonal espresso drinks, they are creative and unique in a way you won't find elsewhere. And, of course, they're delicious.

Easily the best slow bar coffee shop in the country! Tried their whole menu one after the other. It was my first time trying gout and co coffees and they were exceptional. The care Ling takes in curating recipes for each coffee is super intentional. Can't recommend this place enough.

One customer of one coffee shop at Oakland introduced us to this coffee shop. It is tiny coffee shop at Berkeley. It is interesting that they source the coffee beans are from China. Inside is clean snd neat. It shares space with one other store. The seating is outdoor.
We came when it is almost closed. We ordered tea, Kuro and Shiro coffee and latte. All are kind of special drink which you don't get them from other coffee shop. Their speciality is the pour over coffee.
I think the person who prepared our order is the owner and he is nice.
It is interesting there is white sasame seed and black sesame seed on the coffee latte. Our coffee and tea are good. The coffee is not that strong. The tea are unique.
We also get pastries and because it is almost closed we get buy one get one. They also sell merchandise, and coffee beans. The coffee beans are around 24 dlrs.
Pricewise yhe coffee and tea are reasonable. Will visit next time to try the pour over coffee.
