Reviews
"Best made coffee I've found in Berkeley. The savory scones are tasty but a bit too salty for me to really complement the coffee. The beans vary: they get them from different roasters every month (?) so the flavor profile changes. The barristas are good at bringing out the best in the shots they pull, so if you're up for a little adventure give it a try."
"Was on my way to another coffee shop and missed my bus but I’m glad I did - happened upon this lovely spot. On a sunny day like today the outdoor seating is ideal, I ordered an oat milk cortado & highly recommend the “Trout Toast”. Apart from coffee and bites, they also offer specialty wines, Szechuan chili, canned fish, & other interesting delectables."
"Amazing cortado and decaf (yes) cappuccino, nice sitting area outside in the sun. This is a destination for coffee connoisseurs as evidenced by our several visits and a young couple in line who traveled from San Francisco to savor the coffee. Rich, deep, dark crema with powerful aromas. The caramelization of the cortado was exceptional and I spent several minutes inhaling the scents like a fine wine before taking the fist sip. Strong roasted bean flavors that lingered deliciously on the plate for a long while after we left and walked to Trader Joe’s for shopping. Purchased roasted beans which smelled heavenly. This is my # 2 in the Bay Area and the USA for coffee after CoRo in Berkeley. And it just got closer after my visit of January 7. Wow!"
"Nice place for a coffee and some pastries. Located conveniently right next to the bus stop, so it’s easy to get there. I would recommend!"
"Not our usual haunt, but we go there once in a while if it’s on the way during our morning Coffee walks or if it is sunny out and you want a place to relax with a glass of wine outdoors. The cashier came out to take orders when I was standing outside with the dogs so that is convenient. There’s also a dog water bowl in front of their place. The inside is small, but there are a few seats and a restroom. It is a noisy intersection with cars, the freeway, and the BART, but it is also conveniently located in the heart of Rockridge. If you are not walking, you can park at the Bart for free during non commuter hours. My husband loved his breakfast egg sandwich."
