Brian Strauss: Excellent espresso love that you can get a shot served "for here" in a glass
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: 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 =(
V C: A nice variety of açai-based and other types fruit bowls, smoothies and interesting tea concoctions. Nice vibe but a pretty small place.
Nina Yasavul: Gatherer and avocado toast was so good..👌🏻
Melissa Martin: Great location for acai bowls, toasts, smoothies and icead tea/coffee!

shinycat: Great croissants and sandwiches, arugula, decent chai latte :)
Tobias Schmidt: Some of the best cold brew I've had in months – and I drink a lot of cold brew! Owner is a coffee geek and invited me to a spontaneous cupping, all on the house!
Christina: Great local coffee shop and beer garden, with a beautiful patio in the back. Happy hour from 3-6pm. Will have to come back when it’s not raining!

Ana Rostohar: Their lattes with almond milk and hot lemonades are amazing!! A wrap with salad was huge and delicious.
Arthur Chang: 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.
heathr gold: Sweet little place, spacious and light with beautiful garden
Jae B.: Wear a warm coat and enjoy the outdoor seating even in winter -- it's quieter than indoors and quite beautiful.
Cal: What was the FSM? Stop in the cafe, grab a bite to eat, learn about the free speech movement, and increase your Cal street cred! Read more.
Namitta Shankar: Love them brownies they have. Cool place for a quick bite, salads are good too. But lines before class starts can get ridiculously long. Get your coffee before Berkeley time! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.

Libby Lee-Egan: Avocado toast is excellent, pass on the eggs. Get a kouign aman pastry and you won't regret it.
Di Lucie: Avocado toast with chilled soft boiled eggs and pickled roots
Anton Shuster: East Bay Express says get the savory board with French breakfast radishes, smoked trout, and a perfect soft-boiled egg or a bowl of savory quinoa-and-rice porridge with ghee and sea salt .
