Caroline ShenSeptember 11, 2013Just had a sandwich here for the first time. Damn good. The ingredients--especially the bread--are very fresh. And it comes with a side salad for $6-$6.75 (depending on the sandwich) which is amazing.
Grace YoonJuly 17, 2016Choco chip scone is good. Mocha glacier has a bit of weird, powdery aftertaste, disappointingly. More than anything, the interior is great (esp at summertime, when not congested with college students)
Namitta ShankarJune 14, 2012Great place to get some work done. Sit upstairs in the cove for meetings if the noise below is too much. Window seat for me! Large roomy windows and good coffee. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
If you are not into strong coffee, I recommend the Caramella on a cold day and the Mocha Glacier on a hot day. Mmmhmmm. Also a great place to study! Grab a seat upstairs!
Escott HayashidiazFebruary 7, 2016A classic Berkeley cafe for meeting up with friends. When I was in school I think I people watched and socialized more than I studied here. Good times. :-)- Agata SzczepanskaSeptember 19, 2015Awesome place to study or work. Great music and atmosphere. Good fresh pastries and coffee.

Yes!! They sell Mexican tamales (both pork and chicken) every day. Yum!! #cafemilano
Allegra BelleJuly 19, 2017Mocha or any of their coffee drinks and their egg bagels. Reasonably priced.
Masha GalitskaiaMarch 9, 2014Very nice music and good coffee. A little too crowdy on Saturday evening though.
Russell LAugust 20, 2015Standard-fare coffee near campus. Gets crowded, very warm upstairs, noisy. Would not recommend for meetings (but students will do it anyway).
Popular place because it's across the street from campus, has lots of seating, a lot of outlets, and good food and coffee.
Sarah VarnellNovember 3, 2012Love the atmosphere, classical music, good coffee, and so many flavor choices to create your own.
Nabeel HyattOctober 25, 2014Good coffee and wifi spot near campus. Pastries are easily avoided though.
Chris PlattypusApril 6, 2013Great taste in music. Orchestral versions of pop, film soundtracks and a nice hum of conversation
PatriciaDecember 13, 2012The tomato basil mozzarella salad is delicious and comes with a hunk of focaccia.- Bobby WhiteJuly 15, 2011If you like strong coffee, I recommend ordering a regular with a shot of espresso.
They don't mix the chocolate syrup in the mochas. That's a weird thing to do (or not do, as it were).
Get the Hot Chicken Sandwich and find a seat upstairs overlooking the entrance.
Brian CarverAugust 3, 2011Get coffee in to-go cup. They use pint glasses w/o handles that get too hot.
Dharmishta RoodJanuary 25, 2010Try the avocado sandwich. It's amazing. For added zing dip it in your dressing.
The AmEx special doesn't work here since they only take Visa/MasterCard!- Fiona ODMCOctober 23, 2009there are two sets of power outlets upstairs. go to the furthest table on the right.
Speak clearly or they WILL get your order wrong.
