This place is straight out of the 90s, with the one addition of a reach-in I've cream chest for the kids. Pure nostalgia. Prices are almost that low, too

Mudraker's Cafe offers good food and coffee in a spacious, quiet environment. Owner Hazim offers friendly, personalized service and is always up for a chat with customers.
Hazim is so remarkably kind and attentive to customers that I must suspect his critics of un-cafe-like behavior that required his attention!
Drip coffee is well made and there is a full range of teas available. There are muffins and croissants and bagels for small meals. For more substantial meals, excellent salads and sandwiches are listed in the menu behind the counter.
Two outside tables get morning and afternoon sun on Telegraph Avenue. Inside seating includes a large back room where more serious students and remote workers tend to gather, as well as a German language class. The large couch in the front is comfortable seating for intimate couples and groups.
In an era dominated by cookie-cutter corporate coffee outlets, Mudraker's stands out for its originality and home-like atmosphere.

The owner of this place does not care about anything but making money. Unlike the friendly nature of most cafes in Berkeley, he is impatient and rude and I will never be coming back here.

Had a craving for something sweet-carrot cake should due the trick. I asked the proprietor if it was today's and he said yes. It was the driest, stalest piece of cake I've ever had. On top of that, IT WAS $6!!! When I mentioned this to the owner, he ignored me. When I left I was more specific, you told me that cake was from today but it was really stale. No, he said, it's only two days old-they brought it in 2 days ago. (Forgetting he told me it was from today AND he was claiming it was delivered on Sunday. ) Did I mention it was $6???

Second time I've been here. Second time the matcha latte tasted like absolute sewer water. I order it the same everywhere I go and can tell when the batista didn't follow directions. Not worth the money.

Came by at 6:30, closed and locked. They don't have hours posted on their door, that's a pretty basic expectation for a business, in my opinion. Make your hours known or at least update your Google Maps business profile, and don't put that you close at 7.
Menu and atmosphere is OK but employees/owner should care more about how they operate

I came from NYC needing a perfect place to have a coffee and stare at the streets. Kind owner and they had epic amounts of the New Yorker. It made my heart smile :) Thank you for making me feel at home with a wonderful espresso and time with my husband.
I was having my car repaired around the corner from the Cafe and asked the owner Amine, if I could camp out there and wait for my car to be finished. He could not have been more hospitable and kind. He prepared a cheese sandwich for me that wasn’t even on the menu. The coffee was great too. In addition, the entire care is clean as a whistle ?. ThankYOU from the bottom of my heart, Amine.
