    Pretty solid breakfast burritos, even if the drip coffee is so-so. I’ve heard the fries rule, but I haven’t had a chance to eat them yet. Lots of space, and a chill vibe with many people coworking.

    A total hidden gem in this part of Berkeley. Definitely stay for live music, and get yourself a Leila Burger

    Their lattes with almond milk and hot lemonades are amazing!! A wrap with salad was huge and delicious.

    This is possible the most beautiful cafe in Berkeley, has a back patio with a fountain and the light is good. The only problem is that they don't have wifi on weekends...

    The Shrimp Sandwich was phenominal, a lot of huge prawns. The Hibiscus Berry Lemonade and the Lavendar lemonade were delicious

    Looks small from the outside, but the back is very large. Beautiful light from the garden patio outside with even more seats. Outlets towards the corners only, Wi-Fi is decent.

    Bring your dog and sit in the lovely (and surprisingly spacious) back patio. The burgers are delicious!

    Cute outdoor area. Very peaceful and not packed with students. Only thing is they don't turn the wifi on till 3 pm on the weekends.

    The food is good. And the garden is great. But those are the only things. Is actually expensive, almost $6 for a Chai Tea. And staff is not always friendly. Not worth it, theres better around.

    The Greek Omlet is perfect. Large plates well worth the money.

    There's a great dog friendly patio in the back that usually has a doggie water bowl.

    Nice outdoor seating but the food was disappointing. Bland omelette, soggy and dry toast, and "fruits" means two small pieces of not-sweet watermelons.

    The salmon bagel is an overly expensive choice.

    Good food but the manager picks on people with laptops. Better to work somewhere else.

    Wifi is usually available but may be switched off. If so, ask the staff nicely.
