"Wonderful study/vibe spot, one of the few places so close to campus that you can often find a seat. Haven’t tried any food. The chai is always my comfort drink, but it’s more of a dessert than a tea."
"Egg salad sandwich has shells in it. Not consistent in keeping tuna sandwich. Every time they mess up my order sequence- people buying after me get their coffee before me."
"Great customer service and nice area for a study spot. I was recommended the Roasted Chicken Panini and enjoyed it quite a lot. I did feel like it was a small portion for value, but I was starving. Would probably come here again because how near the Cafe is and the healthy food options!"
"The BLTA Panini was good, nothing special. They’re more on the pricey side. They have a large menu. A good spot to sit down and study in Berkeley. I will have to go back and try more. The customer service is decent."
"Can't beat the location for a convenient study spot north of campus. If you nab a good seat, there are a few outlets to be used and a bathroom nearby in the Etcheverry building. The food is ok on average: some good, some bad; I'd avoid the "salads", unless you want to eat wilted greens. Spanakopita (spinach feta pie) is fairly good, especially when heated up. The bagels are nothing special. Cappuccino is quick and tastes alright. Don't expect to be wowed by the food and drink here. The service is good. Everyone was very nice, and when I study there for a while, someone usually comes by to take my finished dishes which is great when my mind is elsewhere. The cashier was sometimes preoccupied with managing orders, but I've never had to wait more than a minute or two to get my order in. The way the orders are done and announced is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I should be standing waiting the whole time or wait to be called...? One time my number was called but my order wasn't done yet. Also the little slips of paper they put on your order fly around as soon as you touch your cup or plate which isn't great."
