Tom L.Tom Lai: Finally we have a blue bottle in Berkeley! The exterior glass wall makes the whole place looks spacious and elegant!

Ashley M.Ashley Mowrey: It's blue bottle, so this location is lovely and the baristas are wonderful. It's everything you'd expect.

J B.J B: Make sure you get a cold brew with no ice, ice takes up 2/3 the glass and you get a dismal amount of coffee for the price you’re paying!

Allen H.Allen Hammock: Serving Blue Bottle but the real treat is the breakfast. Avoid the Cubano--it will kill you with fattening pleasure.

Sean C.Sean Conte: Cappuccino with Blue Bottle's Hayes Valley Espresso. Fantastic!

Stephen M.Stephen Merrill: Generally good espresso drinks--but somewhat erratic quality. Best I've found in Berkeley so far, but not Blue Bottle or Ritual quality day-to-day...

AliceAlice: Cool ambience cafe that just opened up. A little dark inside but if you're fine with that you can bring your laptop and work. They have pour over coffee and will soon have pastries

Christian B.Christian Baker: Dimly lit with lots of reclaimed wood and antique ephemera. Pour over coffee was good - better than anything else in the immediate area. A good addition to the Telegraph drag.

VansiVansi: Nice new place. Free coffee when you buy a bag!

Stephen F.Stephen Fisher: Best batch brews. OG owners. Great tea program. Practiced community and environmental focus. Feng Shui in the space. Suggestion: provide complementary vegan/DF food options like cashew cream cheese.

Martha H.Martha Hill: Chillax! Good seating with an outdoor patio option. Attentive staff. Tasty quiche options if you need more heft than toast. Beautifully presented cappuccino -doesn't everything look better in Heath?

John W.John W: Cool indoor space with green walls. For working… while the outlets are all covered, the outdoor space is great for working and quiet enough to take calls. No WiFi =(

Frank K.Frank Kim: They have 3 different Hitachino Nest beers, had a great meal here, the flavors of the Ocean Umami, the Uni risotto, and the Calpico sorbet with blueberry were just amazing.

EaterEater: With both Japanese and American influences, the menu spans sushi, miso-cured pork chops, sea urchin fettuccine, and hibachi-grilled beef tongue. It's rustic and refined at the same time.

Laurie D.Laurie Dalzell: Fabulous food here!
