My partner brought one of these Birthday funfetti cakes all the way down to Santa Cruz for my birthday. It was incredibly delicious and everything you could want for a birthday cake. #Veganuary

Deliciously tasty, beautifully displayed all vegan baked goodness. I'm not a coffee drinker, so can't/won't comment on that. Very comfortable, clean setting, easily accessible. Convenient for public transportation.

Revenge of the vegans!They don't make it clear that this place is vegan. I ordered a "pumpkin cream cheese danish" accordingto the label in the glass case. SURPRISE!!! No flavor.You know how the vegans get all bent out of shape when someone slips a molecule of cheese in their food? That's how I felt after one bite of my $5+ pastry.

Vegan cafe - meaning they don't have natural milk, only synthetic "milk" substitutes. Gross.Cafe interior is fairly cute, tho as required in Berkeley the seating is intentionally uncomfortable.Staff are quite unpleasant.

Wonderful Vegan establishment. Breakfast sandwich and donuts are very tasty. Thankful to have them as an option in the Bay Area.

My daughter and I both enjoyed our Golden latte and decaf latte with almond milk. Say available. Many delicious looking baked goods but we chose the two savory options. One was a quiche and one a egg/sausage sandwich. Both were very good.

Amazing vegan café! The breakfast sandwich is great, but I highly recommend trying their pumpkin cheescake while it's autumn!Incredibly friendly staff and pretty decent prices here, too!Can't go wrong with their chia parfait.

coffee, chocolate, baked goods, sweet, savory…it's all here and it's all good.
terrific part of the community, as well.
any of their shops is a MUST VISIT when you're in the East Bay.

Delicious vegan donuts and coffee. Love the vibe and staff was helpful and friendly. Tell your friends and family, Timeless forever!
Big problem with the service here. After ordering, the barista lobbed a cold bfast sandwich on the bar and walked away. When they returned, I said “excuse me”, to ask them to warm it up, and they told me to wait my turn and then continued to ignore me.

Have visited all three other locations. This one has a smaller seating area and was busy at 10:30 on a weekday.
Had the savory empanada, I think I enjoy their sweet pastries better. It was okay and hoped for more filling.
Matcha latte was great.

I found it was expensive for what it was and the service was very slow even for boutique coffee shop standards. I don't expect I'll go

The staff was super friendly and gave me the best explanation of different coffees I've heard ever. Very helpful as I've never fully understood the differences before

I used to come here EVERY weekend for 2 years. I had to get there before they opened to get in line or there chocolate croissants would be sold out.Fast forward to the last 3 times I've been here recently, and I can no longer purchase any pastries. The croissants are completely soggy and spongy. They are no longer crispy, flakey and fluffy. If that wasn't enough, the tops used to be about 50% covered in a thick dark chocolate drizzle. Now, it's about 3 or 4 thin lines of chocolate. The lack of this extra chocolate really detracts from what used to be an amazing overall flavor.(Rant warning) I'm no longer supporting mediocre vegan businesses. It is NOT good for the movement to have such under par establishments succeed, let alone thive. This does not encourage non vegans to try vegan food. It does not encourage a high standard to succeed. In the bay area basically any "all vegan" business can thrive as long as their food is at the very least edible.NYC, LA, Washington DC all had better vegan food and pastries at EVERY place we went. How can any random spot in these other cities beat the very best it the bay? I'm voting with my dollars only on the best of the best in the bay area from now on.*** (Original review 5 years ago) Best vegan coffee shop ever! They have crazy good pastries and cakes, full or by the slice. Fair prices, friendly service and its all vegan. I go here when ever I'm in the area for a quick bite or if I need some sweets. Ive had a cake that was amazing from thier other Oakland location. Thanks guys for the all vegan goodness.
Great coffee place.
