What customers say

Decent espresso bar and baked goods. The main drawback in my opinion is slow service. They seemed generally understaffed, so I definitely cannot blame the barista. The drip coffee my partner ordered was average but my espresso was good. We split a blueberry muffin which was delightful and well worth the price.

My favorite coffee place! I go here all the time with friends or by myself to study. The staff are always super nice and it's a great environment to sit down for a couple of hours. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There are outlets and the wifi is fast. I 100% recommend!

My favorite coffee shop in Berkeley/Albany area. For me it's THE standard for consistency and perfect, for taste, Cappuccino The gold standard. I compare all others and none have come up to this. Pro's , accessible, and friendly.

Good decaf mocha, nice restroom for customers, lots of seating, and all accessible. Plus it is just a 15-minute walk away down a very pleasant, quiet side street from the cheapest Tesla Supercharger in the whole Bay Area!
