8 Best Coffee Shops near El Cerrito

“Such a super cute eclectic, locally owned coffee shop mixed with a boutique full of local treasures. Loved the food + drink options and the super chill vibes. We cozied up in the comfy seating area with our drinks before heading to the Bay for a hike, and I couldn’t resist browsing the locally made jewelry and clothes. Even played a game and pulled a few tarot cards before heading out.

I had the iced Ube Rose Latte (floral with rose petals on top 🌹) while my hubby enjoyed a delicious Coconut Mocha. We also shared a warm, flavorful empanada — so good! Service was friendly, and the little outdoor patio out back is adorable. Love supporting a local mom + pop shop, especially when the owners are there sharing their passion with the community“

“Good coffee and great service ☕️“

“drinks are always good and it’s never a hit or miss. i always get the same thing but it’s always good or better than the last time never a one hit wonder! the sandwich i got which was the turkey avocado sandwich was okay. a lot of avocado and onion but little turkey. i’m sure you ask for your specific topping preferences that wouldn’t be a problem. found out about this place a couple weeks ago and have been a regular ever since. my new favorite boba place ever since the first time i came. highly recommend! (the boba in the picture is the devil zang zang, if you like boba and oreo and don’t know what to try definitely get that. it’s also the middle boba picture on the window.)“

“Music is to loud..wish they would lower the volume“

“This was a typical McDonald's. I don't know how common this is (because I'm not from California) but you needed a coin to open the restroom door. You had to get the coin from one of the workers. Unusual but it worked out with little delay“
