Cute local coffee shop. They have both inside and outside tables. I walk several extra blocks to come here instead of a chasing store and think it's worth it. The baked goods in particular are delicious.

I've been here a few times now and the service has always been amazing! Everyone that works here is so sweet & has genuine conversations with customers. The atmosphere is also comforting and chill without trying too hard. I recommend the hojicha, ube latte, and ube lemonade. <3

I got 15 minutes parking and went in to buy a chai and something to eat. The server forgot my chai order as others who came after me got their coffees and left, i thought it might take longer for the chai to make. After reminding for the chai, i got it in 2-3 minutes and got the ticket too of $45. A bad day or a donation for the city. Therefore, i am giving a 1 star for the service.

Small coffee shop with three counter stools. The coffee is pretty good and they have a decent selection of bagels and pastries. I would personally avoid the odd flavored lattes they have including purple potato and black sesame. I’ve ordered both and they seem to just use a flavored syrup in a regular latte which makes it taste a little fake.
Good coffee otherwise.

Good: staff are nice, chill place to sit and people watch, and have a pastry/drink
Bad: espresso. Been here at least 3 times and the staff here likely aren’t trained to pull a good shot of espresso. This last visit, my cortado was over extracted and had grounds in it.
Maybe it’s the general public, usually preferring milk drinks so they don’t feel the need to pull good shots. Who knows..? But why source interesting, single origin beans, with various processing methods if you’re not gonna dial in your beans? Every time I leave disappointed, likely won’t come back for espresso drinks, but will try other drinks.
Coffee has been ok but I am heavily pregnant with our second cihld and the place was almost NINETY DEGREES INSIDE!! Me and hubby had to leave. Unacceptable temperature . Hope the cheaper electricity bill is worth losing customers 🙅🏿

Came for a new bag of whole beans. I thought the placement of the bags was horrible because it is between where you would order and pick up. I think this led to the staff being very rude about asking me to move while I was looking for the tasting notes. When I did order, I had to ask if she could ring up the bag which made it seem like she did not understand why I was standing where I was in the first place. Cold brew was good. Beans were good. Just nervous to go back.

Hot latte lukewarm only and too sour. Won’t go again.

Signal has the best coffee in the North Berkeley/Albany/Solano area. It's always excellent; this has become my regular coffee shop in an area that really needed more specialty coffee.

Sunday morning at Signal PERFECTION! They opened 5 minutes early! Yay! Giving me enough time to make it to yoga at The Dance Floor down the street
Decaf americano …PERFECTION.
This decaf bean is consistently delicious. You know a decaf is delicious when you have to ask them.
“Are you sure this is decaf? “ Yup…it’s that good
Photo of the man next to me getting his custom egg Sammie delivered.
My only suggestion would be the sugar .
All the had out this morning was cane sugar in those white packets…. Sugar cane is one the highest GMO FOODS
I would appreciate Sugar In The Raw brown packets. Besides that…
Pastries look yummy … even though I skipped it this morning.
