Danielle HowellApril 24, 2017My favorite aspect of this place is their outdoor seating and atmosphere. It's a really good spot to study or just people-watch. They also have good slices of cake and make a nice iced white mocha!Upvoted 2 days ago
Kelly JungMarch 12, 2013If you sit down inside, the brown chairs will give you a bumpy ride as the people behind you sit down and get up. Slow Internet but the smell of coffee is amazing and it's open until midnight!- Zuleyha SucuDecember 7, 2011This's the sole great atmosphere that I could find to sit outside under the shadow during sunny days in Berkeley. The patio has heaters which is also great in chili weathers. By the way, only cash!
CalMarch 28, 2012Go to Cafe Strada, sit outside, have a drink, and go online. Convert your student email address to a free forwarding address. Go to @cal http://cal.berkeley.edu. Use your CalNet login. It's easy!
One of the best coffee shops near campus. The vanilla latte will always please. They usually have live music on Sundays. Coffee+Sun+Music makes studying a bit easier.
jennifer hanJuly 30, 2011grab a strada bianca mocha and hang out on the patio. i used to study here when i was an undergrad and i still love coming here when i visit. best coffee in the area.
Escott HayashidiazFebruary 7, 2016Nice patio for meeting with friends over a coffee in Berkeley. Can be a pain to get a table.
A Berkeley institution. Keep it simple with a frothy cappuccino and almond croissant.
Josh WentzSeptember 21, 2014really cool outdoor porch/patio with wifi for studying/working... unique old fashioned design all around
Tom MaxwellJuly 4, 2014Only takes cash (very lame) but lots of outdoor seating, the Wi-Fi is reasonably fast, and it's open until midnight which is great.
Benjamin OrtizAugust 7, 2014Good iced americano and iced white mocha! Awesome location for people watching.
J TApril 25, 2017Open late, and popular hangout spot for college students. Sometimes hard to find a spot.
Jason PopeSeptember 24, 2011Their large latte is huge. But the regular latte only has one shot. Go for the regular with the extra shot. The large is intimidating.
If you like iced vanilla lattes, get an iced coffee with vanilla instead! A dollar cheaper!
Linda TruongDecember 18, 2014They accept credit card now!!! Apparently their eggnog latte is famous?? Gotta try it next time
Agata SzczepanskaJuly 18, 2015Pastries - stale, burned. Staff - attitude. Outdoors area and wifi - good.
Andrew CerdaNovember 30, 2012When it's warm out, order yourself an Almond Italian Soda. They're delicious !
An awesome place to study if you don't need Internet, with the cafe's famous white mocha in hand.
soy au lait and blueberry scone are my faves. they have the sweetest baristas ever, they always put hearts on my foam ;)
nessaSeptember 11, 2010Nice place to sit outside (if you can find a seat) and people watch on the corner of Bancroft and College.
Good coffee. Ranked 8th in the 50 best college coffee shops in America
JillJanuary 7, 2012A popular place to study. Can get crowded and cold. They don't take card, so bring cash. The ATM there charges $3 and banks are a walk away.
The ATM they have is Eco friendly and only charges $1.25 to withdraw! Way better than the other ATMs in the area.
They take cash only, but when you buy gift card, you can use credit card ;)
try a white mocha! much better than starbucks, oh, and make sure you have cash!
