Reliable little spot on the corner of to rent and fulton, new to me, someone who's always looking for a cafe where I won't be discovered by friends, family, or fans, this place serves up a really solid Reuben sandwich, makes a variety of juices, and also does the whole bagel and lox thing well.Super polite and helpful staff, and parking in the neighborhood is usually not too bad.Highly recommended if you need a quiet place to study on laptop for a second while you have a bike to eat, I've never seen it packed, and most of the people getting stuff there when I was there we're getting it to go. I'll definitely be back

Consistently great service and food! I got the breakfast bagel combo this morning and was so impressed by how stuffed this bagel was - just half a bagel completely filled me up! They have tables outside for outdoor dining and they are open early enough to grab something before work.

Was looking for a place to grab a bite to eat with my baby and had a wonderful chat with the (owner?) Sean & and one of the employees! Yummy green juice and a tasty bagel! Really kind people and a wonderful coffee house!

Stopped in and enjoyed a fantastic latte with some Christmas cheer. Great texture, taste, and very smooth.

This coffee shop is the best in town. I went to try it out and ordered the famous bagel which was very good. Also it has a great look to it and a very kind owner. Try it out!

DATE: Tuesday 31 August 2021 MY ORDER: (Take Out) 1x Veggie Bagel (Cream Cheese, Plain Bagel) = $6.50 1x Iced Mocha (24 oz., 2% Milk, Vanilla Syrup) = $5.25 REVIEW: Breakfast in Berkeley again! I'm not a coffee person, but I really felt like I needed caffeine today. So why not go to a coffee house. I decided to get iced mocha with vanilla syrup. It tasted amazing! One of better iced coffees I've had in a while. The drink was so creamy and was a little sweet. As for the bagel, it was delicious. They packed a lot of veggies in the bagel. Bagel looks stunning when you open it up. Just a colorful breakfast sandwich. Cream cheese helped make the bagel taste extra creamy! So far, I like the breakfast scene in Berkeley.

Ordered lunch through GrubHub and everything was super tasty. Had a lox bagel, tuna avocado salad, pasta salad, and chai latte. I would skip the croissants though because they're a bit too dry.

This place is the bomb! I ordered the Montana Chicken (IIRC for the chicken sandwich) and a latte. The steamed milk was perfect for the latte and everything blended together nicely. I really loved the chicken sandwich and was a tad dismayed at first with the size (as someone who frequents the gym and eats a lot of food). However, the flavors were nicely balanced to literal perfection -- it almost tasted like a banh mi in its own special type of way.

Was craving for lox bagel and wanted to find a place to work -- and this place provided both! A lot of food options here to choose! The wifi is faster than a lot of cafes I've been, probably because I an the only person here I feel like this place is quite underrated since it is considerably slightly a bit far from other cafes that are closer to the campus. But if you are looking for a quieter place to study/ work and eat in Berkeley, this is the place to be at!

A good wide open cafe with seating, plug-in outlets and sunshine! Stumbled here looking for a quiet cafe to do work and will be coming back for sure. Ordered a blueberry smoothie and had a chance to be very productive. Staff was polite and drink came out quickly!

Came here for a bagel sandwich and was very pleased with the food! It came with a side salad that was really good as well. I was sad that they ran out of the cheddar jalapeno bagel when I went, however the everything bagel was still good.

It was my first time here and I purchased the Windmill Colada drink, and the first three sips were good but then the sips after that tasted bitter and I threw away the drink. Not sure what happened, maybe they added something that didn't mix well? I was bummed because it did taste good at first and then it didn't.

I love coming here, the owner is delightful, super nice and attentive! I try to go there almost weekly considering the pandemic and the fact that it is marking business slow. By the way their windmill special is delicious!
